Crossway Downtown Sermon PodcastJesus & The 10 Commandments - Grace Speaker: Matt Beattie 2025-04-0635 minWicked Women: The PodcastKatherine Howard in FictionKatherine Howard, the fifth wife of England’s King Henry VIII, has rarely received a positive portrayal in fiction. Throughout the 20th century in books, tv series, and movies, she was depicted as frivolous, immature, hyper-sexual, forgettable, and at times cruel. In recent years, the popular musical Six has tried to reclaim Katherine’s story and has made her a cultural icon in the era of the #MeToo Movement. But are any of these depictions capturing the true Katherine Howard? In today’s episode, I will be joined by Leigh Wakefield, a historian whose recent masters dissert...2025-04-0451 minWicked Women: The PodcastWomen's Paths to PowerThroughout the history of the Christian Church, women have held myriad roles.

While women have been blamed for the fall of men since Eve in the Garden of Eden, their crimes usually centered around sexuality.

Margaret witnessed some of the most significant moments in her father’s later and her brother’s early reigns.

But before it became a byword for “wicked women”, Jezebel was a queen of Israel who dared to worship different gods. She has been both erased, lost in a tide of scandal and rumor, and immortalized. In the end, perhaps becoming infamous was vindication for her villainization. In today's episode, I will be discussing the life and legacy of one of history's most influential “wicked women”, Jezebel.
