Ep 36 - Bad Girls, Rude Women: A Study of Jezebel

We begin our theme - Bad Girls, Rude Women - with an in-depth study of Jezebel and her horrible influence on her husband, King Ahab.

Why are men so attracted to bad girls? And women so attracted to bad boys? It's the confidence. Confidence is sexy.

But you don't have to be evil to be confident! You can be humble and confident.
