Join Pastor Lance Ralston in this 73rd episode of Church History, where we explore the dramatic lead-up to the Protestant Reformation! From the height of papal power under Pope Innocent III to the chaos of the Avignon Papacy, Hundred Years' War, and Black Death, this episode traces how economic, political, and religious changes shattered Medieval Christendom. Key events include the rise of the middle class, fall of Constantinople (1453), the Great Schism, Joan of Arc, and the destruction of the Knights Templar under King Philip IV. Learn how nationalism, feudalism, Crusades, and the Plague paved the way for reform. Let us know in the comments!
