By: Retha Faurie | May 30, 2024
Don’t you sometimes wish you could help people understand you better? Or at least that, when disagreeing with you, they would engage your actual arguments and not straw-man versions of them?

By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International, Roy Ciampa | May 3, 2024

The Myth of the Jezebel Spirit

I know dozens of women who have been told they have a Jezebel spirit. In my experience, they are most often faithful servants of God, who dare to speak the truth to those who do not want to hear it. This pejorative terminology is doing harm to many in the church.
