Ellen in Real Life - Part 1

2021-12-10

Ellen G. White is one of the most well-known figures in Adventism. She was a co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and Adventists regard her as a "prophet." She's even listed on Smithsonian's 2014 list of "100 Most Influential Americans of all time." That's a big legacy. And with that legacy comes a lot of lore, tradition and baggage. So how do we find out who Ellen White really was, and what her role in the Adventist church should be?
