799 | Cuppa Joe | Women of the Restoration | Eleanor Kearney

The call to prayer made by one woman in Lamoni, IA in the late 1800s sparks the interest of thousands of women around the world and raises the ire of a lot of men. Eleanor Kearney hasn’t been spoken of much in the church, but she’s another of the unsung women heroes of the church.  Because of her feistiness and determination, and in spite of her hearing disability, Eleanor played a significant role in engaging women in ministry and raising awareness of women’s contributions to the church. Join host Karin Peter, and guest, Wendy Eaton, for another episode of Cuppa Joe: Women of the Restoration and see what a little determination can accomplish.
