Welcome to Girlfriends Bible Study – a live Bible Study with Connie & Friends! Join us each Monday & Thursday at 7:00pm (ET) as Connie and her girlfriends engage in a lively conversation as they study the Bible. We talk about everything from humor in the Bible to bad girls in the Bible, from miracles to tragedies. Most importantly, we reflect on how the message has applied to our lives. If you want to see us on camera, you can watch via YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@GirlfriendsBibleStudy

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. The marriage of Ahab …
