Marvelous Wonder
In Revelation 12 we read that in the war in Heaven, the Savior’s followers overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. I don’t know exactly what that was like, but I can just imagine the most faithful and valiant spirits persuading many of us with their testimony of truth and light. I imagine this final battle between good and evil that’s happening right now will involve some of that. I think more and more of us will need to step up and confidently share the light we’ve been given.
Marvelous Wonder Podcast shares the message that the heavens are open, and revelation didn’t stop with Peter and Paul. Marvelous truths, like the Plan of Salvation and the Book of Mormon have been brought forth by the Lord to prepare us for His Second Coming.
On Marvelous Wonder, we will be taking a weekly dive into everything about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, from the missionary lessons to the temple, to understand what we really believe, where it came from, and how our doctrine comes together in a theology that answers questions humans have had for ages, and brings each one of us into a personal relationship with God the Father and the Savior Jesus Christ. Episodes will rely on scriptural and prophetic authority to teach restored truths in a way that illuminates the covenant path back to our Heavenly Home, for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who want to take more advantage of what we’ve been given, and for nonmembers who are curious about what we believe and just what is so Marvelous and Wonderful about it.

Christian Hell vs The Problem of Evil vs. Restored Truth
In this video, Preston Purnell examines the sobering Christian claim that "many professing Christians will go to hell" and explores different theological perspectives on the afterlife. Preston compares traditional Christian views with Latter-day Saint understanding of what happens after death.
The discussion covers:
- Different Christian interpretations of hell, including eternal conscious torment and annihilationism
- The LDS perspective of three degrees of glory rather than a binary heaven/hell
- How God's justice accommodates the variety of human choices and circumstances
- The concept of preaching the gospel to the dead in the spirit world
- Why a loving God would provide opportunities for all to accept salvation
Preston challenges the traditional view that billions of people who never heard the gospel are condemned to hell, explaining how LDS doctrine offers a more comprehensive understanding of God's plan for humanity. As he notes, the conventional Christian outlook on salvation can seem quite "depressing" when considered in its full implications.
