How could one Man be approached so easily by the destitute, sought by the sick, loved by children, and trusted by the marginalized? One word. Gentleness.Jesus said it best of Himself.“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:28-29).He described Himself as gentle, and in Philippians 4:5, today we learn that our gentleness, too, should be known to all men because the Lord is at hand.In today’s episode we also explore some of the most famous passages in Phillippians, including verse 6-7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”Such incredibly applicable and RICH passages of Scripture, today on Rinse and Repeat!(RAR2024EP25)--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carol-eskaros/support
Have you ever experienced something so painful, and found yourself just so stuck there? A hurt, a trauma, a loss, and you don’t see a way forward?
For a long time, in reading Paul's words in Philippians 3:13-14, “…forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus,” I believed God's command to us was simply to forget those painful things, to move onward Christian soldiers!
Today on R&R, we learn that Paul speaks these words right after recounting his own past and his credentials. Paul's instruction to us here is not to stay stuck in the past. We should bring past pain and sin to Christ for healing and help, but not “stop our clock” there. Rather, as citizens of heaven, we should move into all that God has for us as we praise Him for every victory and seek Him for healing in every painful situation.
Incredibly relevant passages today on R&R!

How tragic! What a waste! Cut down in his prime!When someone dies unexpectedly, so many difficulties arise. Likewise, when someone falls ill and is not healed, similar questions are sometimes asked:What is happening here? Why is God not healing them? Is something wrong with their faith or their walk with the Lord?Today on R&R, we address many of these difficult questions of faith and come to understand that life and death are matters of God's sovereignty.In this episode, we also look at a critical passage, Philippians 3:7, "But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ."

Do all things without complaining and disputing.
Philippians 2:14 states the prohibition. Complaining, murmuring, arguing within or among ourselves - we simply must NOT do it.
And throughout Scripture we see why complaining is so very dangerous, and how it affects not just our relationships, but also our very souls.
Today we explore this key verse in Philippians, as well as looking closely how God works in us, so as to work through us.

Groveling.
Running around at the behest of another.
These may be the pictures we have in our heads when we think about humility but it really should NOT BE SO.
Humility is having FULL dependence on God's mercy, and it has nothing to do with insecurity, or humiliation, as we will see in today's episode. Rather, humility is to have "the mind of Christ" (Philippians 2:5).
Turn to Philippians Chapter 2 as we continue our study in Philippians and explore what it means to have the mind of Christ. We will also explore Philippians 2:9-11, the remarkable passage which says, "Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Miscommunication will happen. Misunderstandings. Out-and-out conflicts.
Everyday situations arise that cause ruptures in our relationships, even among other Christians, and yet, we do not have to stay in that state. God has given us that way to mend those ruptures in order to live in unity with other believers in Jesus.
Today, we explore Paul's directive to the church in Philippi to stand fast in one Spirit, a command made possible by God's Spirit and the redeeming work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

What are we living for? As in REALLY living for?
In Philippians 1:21, the Apostle Paul writes, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." To him, life was about surrendering everything to the service of Christ, knowing that in the end, it was far better to enter into eternity and be with Christ!
Are we living for our families? Our careers? Ourselves? Or is it ultimately that for us, to live is Christ, and to die is gain?
Join me for our next installment of this study in the book of Philippians!

When you think confidence you may think of one whose shoulders are held high, who has a certain air about them.
You may think of a certain athlete or actor or even someone you know personally who has a lot of confidence.
You may even have a lot of confidence.
Rarely do you consider imprisonment for one's faith a source of confidence, but that is precisely what we are about to see in Paul's life today.
In Philippians 1, Paul talks about the confidence that believers have in his chains - confidence because God will USE even his imprisonment to further the Good News of the Gospel!
Beloved, take heart, God will use whatever situation that He saw fit to allow in your life to further the Good News of the Gospel if you allow it! I share a story of contemporary missionaries in whose lives God allowed unspeakable tragedy, but who used that tragedy as a source of such confidence.

Last week we explored how we can run to God in desperate situations, and one such situation can involve crisis in our relationships. Today I am sharing a reprise message about overcoming deep hurts in our relationships. To begin, I couldn't resist retelling a HILARIOUS story from my early marriage, to illustrate the need for healing in all of our relationships. Then I explore the story of Jacob and Esau for lessons on handling the inevitable hurts that come in all human relationships. As C.S. Lewis said, “Grief and pain are the price humans have to pay for the love and total commitment we have for another person. The more we love, the more we hurt when we lose the object of our love. But if we are honest with ourselves, would we have it any other way?”Join me for this special edition of Rinse and Repeat!(RAR2024EP17)--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carol-eskaros/support
"God if you give me the life of my child, I will serve you all the days of my life."
We have all seen that scene in the movies - someone is in desperate need, so they begin to negotiate with God.
Or perhaps we have LIVED that scene.
When was the last time we really sought God out of a place of desperation? When did we last pray less like "Now I lay me down to sleep" and more like "Lord, my life hangs in the balance here!"
Today's lagniappe is about when we are desperate, as in REALLY desperate, and we come running to God in those times of great need. We will look at four main figures of Scripture who faced desperate situations, and what God did in each of those situations.
Join me today as we see how the effective, fervent prayers of the righteous avail so very much!

It has been called the JOY epistle.
It has been called the Jesus Christ epistle.
It is one of the prison epistles of Paul the Apostle.
It is the Book of Philippians, and it is one of my all-time favorites in God's Word (if we can have favorites).
This week we embark on a new study through one of my life books, and we explore especially a key verse in the very beginning, "being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6).
Join me today as we take a look at this incredible book of JOY, and why we too can take so much heart in it, as we cling to God's Word for hope through even deepest difficulty!

Today marks the conclusion of our series on the life of David, and also the most egregious sin in David's life - when he numbers the people. In this narrative, David's pride causes him to take an unlawful census of Israel, which leads to the death of 70,000 but also offers insight into David's heart when he repents of his sin.
What do you do when someone in your life refuses to heed good advice? What do you do when someone you love is at risk but won't listen to reason?
Also, when you have done wrong, are you quick to repent? What is the outcome when those in leadership give in to sin?
These and so many other questions are addressed in today's study. Today, we also examine David's famous exhortation to Solomon to "prove yourself a man" and why David may have given that counsel to his son!

In this second-to-last episode in our series on the life of David, we will look at a few of King David's key reactions. In particular, we look at David trusting in God when under severe criticism by a man named Shimei. In this instance, we see David trust the Lord's sovereignty and maintain perspective during Shimei's hateful tirade. We see how we, too, can be encouraged to do the same.We also read about David mourning Absalom, and how his vocal grieving was demoralizing the nation that helped him gain victory over his son's coup attempt. In this, we learn how not to fall into similar traps in our own lives!In both cases, David proves himself to be a man who trusts the Lord, no matter what the circumstances, and who is willing to receive rebuke and correction from those around him.So much truth, so much application!!!!

On today's episode from our series on The Life of David, we explore the greatest betrayal of David's reign - when Absalom leads a coup, and takes with him Ahithophel, David's once trusted advisor. It is a sad tale, filled with intrigue, spies, deception, division, and familial and national heartbreak.
From this story, we learn important lessons on how we are to handle divisive people in our own lives and churches. We also learn how to handle betrayals, and how to watch out for bitterness.
Turn with me to 2 Samuel 14, as we prepare to glean these and many other precious lessons from the life of David.

How do you handle criticism? What do you do when someone confronts you?Sometimes criticism, correction, or rebuke can be painful, but often it is also a necessary part of our spiritual maturity.Today as we continue our study on the life of David, we see David commit the infamous sin with Bathsheba. Then, his good friend, Nathan the prophet, lovingly but firmly corrects him about that sin. David's handling of that correction is incredibly instructive to us, and teaches a lot about how faithful "are the wounds of a friend" (Proverbs 27:6).Join us for more practical lesson from King David's life, today on Rinse and Repeat!(RAR2024EP09)--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carol-eskaros/support

Recently, I have had several conversations with people who describe their spiritual lives as mundane, listless, or even lukewarm.The concern is what to do when we just do not seem spiritually awake or alive.Thankfully, Jesus addresses the precise issue in his letter to the Church of the Laodecians in Revelation 3, the only church of seven churches to receive no commendation from the Lord because of its lukewarmness.The beautiful thing? We need not remain in our listless state! Jesus offers specific prescriptions to become "hot" in our walk with Christ.

Sometimes we aren't where we long to be.Our jobs don't seem as meaningful as we hope. Our educations feel mundane. Even our family life doesn't always seem to live up to the Norman Rockwell ideal.And God has a LOT to say about that. How we are to LEARN contentment, how we musn't despise the days of small beginnings- and so much of these lessons are learned from David's assent to the throne of Israel.At the beginning of our study today, we find David not yet King of Israel but in a seven-year waiting period while skirmishes were underway for the throne. In that time, we see him relying on the Lord and not grabbing for power, as other historical leaders were prone to do.Turn to 2 Samuel 5 as we continue to learn how David went on "going and growing" on his assent to the throne!

Imagine having an enemy that doesn't just speak poorly of you but is actually out to kill you!
That is the situation facing David. His enemy Saul did it all. He lied about David, he took away his wife, AND he tried to kill David again and again and AGAIN. And yet, when David learned of Saul's death, David mourned deeply.
How could David mourn Saul? The answer is that David guarded his heart against bitterness. He did not allow himself to become bitter against his enemy, and there are great lessons for each of us in this. In fact, Hebrews 12:15 warns, "looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled."
Join me for this special episode of R&R as we resume our study on the life of David, and learn how to guard our hearts against bitterness.

Complaining. We all do it. At some time or another.
But the nation of Israel had taken it to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL during the period of the Exodus. They complained and murmured against Moses, against their circumstances, and fundamentally against God over and over and OVER again.
The other day, as I was reading the book of Numbers in my personal devotions, I came across one such passage of complaining in Numbers 11. Reading it, I was immediately convicted about my own complaining and critical spirit. I repented before God about it, knowing that, ultimately, my negativity displeased God. And the whole thing had me feel a "podcast coming on..."

Today's episode begins with an important testimony from my own life, a testimony of the INCREDIBLE work of God's Spirit among His people!
I share it to contrast how the Spirit indwells us now, versus how He came and went in the Old Testament.
Also in this episode, we take a close look at David's character, and above all, how the Lord was with him, and how that made all the difference in David’s everything!
If you have ever been excluded or misunderstood, especially by your loved ones, today's episode is FOR YOU.
Today we see how David was a nobody, overlooked by his father and others, but not by God, "For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7).
God's words to Samuel the prophet are instructive to ALL of us! We need to not judge things outwardly, rashly, with double standards, but rather with righteous judgment. As Jesus said in John 7:24, "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
In today's episode, I offer a few points on having good, godly judgment and also on what we should be doing while we wait on God to fulfill His plans towards us!

An exciting new week for Rinse and Repeat as we embark on a brand new series - this one on the life of David!!
God said, "‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will'" (Acts 13:22b).
The question is, how can David, a man who lied, committed adultery, and murdered be called a man after God's own heart?
Join me as we answer this critical question on what is proving to be a life-changing study for me personally, here on Rinse and Repeat!!!

Do you ever have a passage of Scripture that has just changed you forever?
Isaiah 43 is one of those passages for me:
“But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. Fear not, for I am with you…’”
In those five short verses we catch so much critical truth about how God defines us! To Him we are:
REDEEMED…
CALLED…
HIS…
PRECIOUS…
HONORED…
LOVED….
Join me for this lagniappe episode of Rinse and Repeat, as we explore how our position in Christ, and His great work in us is a source of much peace through the fire! (RAR2023EP30)
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." In John 15:5 Jesus declares Himself to be the vine, with each of us, His disciples, as the branches abiding in Him, and He in us.
What is the significance of Jesus being the TRUE vine? Why did God use the emblem of a vine, as opposed to something else? And what is the incredible importance of ABIDING in the life of a believer?
Join me as we answer these and other questions on today's episode of Rinse and Repeat, as our series on the I AM Statements of Jesus draws to a close!

As someone who is directionally challenged, I am so incredibly grateful to have a husband who knows how to find his way pretty much anywhere. That's because we are so much LESS likely to need the Maps app or to get lost.
Jesus doesn't just TELL us the way to God or to heaven. He doesn't just SHOW us the way. Jesus IS the way.
When we are lost, He is the way. When we are stumbling around in darkness and confusion, He is the Truth that lights the way. When we just feel DEAD inside, Jesus is LIFE ITSELF. Jesus is the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, and no one comes to the Father, but by Him!

Sometimes we get the blues.
Sometimes those blues turn into a deeper funk.
Sometimes that funk becomes a depression.
And sometimes - the worst of times - that depression can morph into seasons of despair, crushing anxiety, and deep darkness.
But the fact of the matter is, God has never meant for us to live in darkness, EVER. In fact, as I keep saying over and over again to myself and to others these days, 1 Peter 2:9 says, "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." Catch that - we are called OUT of darkness and into His MARVELOUS light.
The key I believe to walking and staying in the light is this sadly lost art of confession. We have forgotten what it means largely to confess our sins, and as a result, we are forfeiting the great FREEDOM to be found as a result. James 5:16 says, "Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." Join me for the lagniappe edition of RaR as I explore how confession leads to healing.
From my funk to yours, let's learn to confess our sins to one another, to pray for one another and BE HEALED!

Have you ever been so consumed with sorrow that you began believing lies you simply KNEW were lies? That was the situation I found myself in as I prepared to record this week’s program on Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life.
In John 11:25-26, Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” These words give me - and each of us - not only eternal life but also fullness of life here and now. Jesus has come so that we need not be consumed by depression and darkness that inevitably visit us all. Jesus comes that we may be resurrected and that we may have new life!!

We all have low points in our walk with the Lord, but do we find ourselves faking it most of the time? This week, I spent time with young people at Cross Camp, and we grappled with real questions of whether we are PRETENDING in our Christian life. Do we raise our hands in worship, but our hearts aren't in it? Do we serve in ministry, but only because it is expected of us? Do we go to Bible studies and conferences, but only so that we don't lose face for NOT going? In this episode, I explore our tendency to try to be Christians without Christ, and I take a look at Jesus 'words in Matthew 15:7-9: "Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,And honor Me with their lips,But their heart is far from Me.And in vain they worship Me,Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ” Join me for this special episode of Rinse and Repeat, as we build some ABC's for safeguarding our lives against pretense in our Christian lives.
Jesus said, "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture" (John 10:9) and “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep" (John 10:11).
In these passages we see that Jesus offers His people a picture of true Biblical freedom, where we can come in and out, and find pasture, where we live free, because He has given His life for us.
Join me for this latest episode of Rinse and Repeat, as I explore the latest I AM statements of Jesus, and what it means to have true Biblical freedom in Christ.

During Hurricane Ida and the weeks that followed, I learned many critical lessons as we lived without electricity.
One of the most important lessons we learned is that many things lurk in the dark - and in fact, many things can GROW in the dark - namely, ugly, harmful black mold. Which leads me to the question - what is growing in our dark?
Today we read, "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life’” (John 8:12).
What is the significance of Jesus being the light of the world? What does it mean to WALK in the light?

Is your faith part of who you are, or IS IT who you are?Last week we concluded the program with this question, and this week we pick up with the same question. As we are faced with change, we need spiritual weapons for spiritual warfare - and the shield of faith is protection for the battle that so much change brings!In this week's conclusion to our Courage through Change special episodes, we explore Daniel and Jonah's reaction to their ever-changing world. Daniel trusted that God knew what was best, and Jonah, of course, did not. And in each case, God showed so much GRACE, grace that spells POWER in seasons of great and unexpected change.Join me today for this special edition of Rinse and Repeat for courage through seasons of change!!(RAR2023EP20)
What do you do when people around you seem to change? When a friend starts acting weird?

What would happen if we forgot about ourselves and what we can’t do, and remember what GOD is capable of doing?What would happen if Christians trusted God enough to be bold about their faith? To face spiritual enemies armed with spiritual weapons? To stand up for truth?Today, as we conclude our study on the women of the Bible, we turn to the woman loosed of her infirmity, and we see that Jesus was willing to stand up to the religious leaders of His day in order to do what was right. We also see a woman once in bondage set free, a freedom we all can experience through the healing power of Jesus!Turn with me to Luke, Chapter 13 as we explore the remarkable story of healing and God's deliverance of all who experience spiritual oppression!(RAR2023EP18)
When faced with opposition and obstacles, are we tempted to quit? To throw our hands up and say- nah, this isn't working? Praying doesn't work! Living a life of faith just doesn't work!Today on the program we look at a woman's faith that was severely tested. Jesus did not give her what she asked for the first time she asked, and she persisted and remained worshipful in her asking. What happens next changes everything!Join me as we explore the next woman of the Bible, the Syro-Phoenician woman, as we learn great lessons on persevering faith!
"It's not that big of a deal," a teen might tell her parents."Everyone's doing it," another may say."My friend's parents let her. Why do you have to be so strict about EVERYTHING?!?"These are just a few of the things Christian parents may hear while raising kids - and while much of it is normal, it raises some questions.Who are our kids hanging out with? Who are WE hanging out with?Today's woman of the Bible is Tamar (in Genesis) and her sad story starts with Judah deciding to hang out with the WRONG people. Who our friends are MATTERS. It IS a big deal, as we will soon see.Turn your Bibles to Genesis 38 for this episode of Rinse and Repeat.
On today's program, we learn from the example of three women from Paul's epistles, Phoebe, Eunice, and Lois. Phoebe, the great servant and helper described in Romans 16, meant the world to Paul. Eunice and Lois, Timothy's mother and grandmother, offer models of how to train up a child in the ways of the Lord.
One key verse is critically important for all of us in today's study. It is Paul speaking of Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:5, "when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also." Eunice and Lois modeled a faith that wasn't fake, a faith that was genuine, without hypocrisy, a faith that was willing to admit error, a faith we would do well to model.
On today's lagniappe edition of the program, I share personal stories from 20 years ago and just this past week, as I teach on what Jesus meant when He said, "Judge not, lest you be judged." Today's program will include terms like homosexuality, lesbian, and same-sex attraction (younger and sensitive listeners are cautioned). My greatest prayer is that we will learn what God's Word says about how Christians are to exercise good, godly judgment.
Most importantly, let’s remember that the church is a HOSPITAL where the sick come to meet the Great Physician. So let’s not expect people to look, act, or sound the way we want them to - but rather let’s point people to Jesus, and pray for wisdom and discernment when speaking to others, especially those caught up in sin.

One writer tried to give Priscilla a title, and it went something like this:Christ follower, Tent Maker, Teacher, Encourager, Home Church Hostess & Leader, Devoted Wife of Aquila, and Faithful friend to Paul. To that title, I would add based on Romans 13:3-4: Paul’s heroic life-saver!Today we embark on the study of a woman of MANY talents, and with that study, we explore the many roles that women play, both in Scripture and today. On the program, I frequently refer to Titus 2:3-5 which says, “the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.”As one of those older women myself, I urge women who are married with children to prioritize their families, even as they serve God in the church and their communities if they work outside the home. I share testimonies from my life, from the life of Elisabeth Eliot, but especially looking at the great example of Priscilla, who, with her husband, taught Apollos, hosted a home church, and offered up her great many talents to the service of her King. Priscilla and her husband Aquilla are always mentioned together as quite the dynamic duo, and they offer us a great example of how a strong Biblical marriage can reflect Christ and the church!Join me today, for a REMARKABLE woman, Priscilla.(RAR2023EP13)

A seller of purple, a successful businesswoman, and a persuasive individual, Lydia offers us several valuable lessons on today's episode. We learn NOT to be self-sufficient, we learn about the importance of encouragement, and so much more.Today, we also glean the introduction of the remarkable story of Lillian Trasher, missionary to Egypt. This woman stepped out by faith, and learned that indeed, “There is no end to what you can do if you follow God’s call and trust Him to take care of the rest.”Two remarkable women, today on Rinse and Repeat.
One of the most significant aspects of our current Women of the Bible series is that we don't just study the "good girls" of the Bible, but also those who made some cataclysmic mistakes so that we can LEARN from them! Today's lesson on Sapphira in Acts 5 is just such an example.Someone once said, "Once the love of money takes possession of a person, there is no evil that he cannot or will not do." Sapphira and her husband Ananias loved money and were willing to lie to God and the church in order to hold onto it, all while seeming incredibly self-sacrificing.Today's program allows us to examine the motivations behind not just our giving, but all of our acts of service. Do we do what we do to be seen by others, and to be applauded? This lesson also offers us a chance to explore if greed is part of our lives and how to weed it out.Join me for Rinse and Repeat today, as we explore Sapphira in Acts 5!(RAR2023EP10)
Today's episode of Rinse and Repeat begins rather emotionally for me, as I share my experience of having recently seen the Jesus Revolution movie.This episode is equally important to me because I want to take careful notice of the things that Jesus notices. For example, He marvels at the great faith of the Roman centurion. He equally marvels at the lack of faith in people from His hometown, so much so that He could do few miracles among them.And today, we have a woman whose giving makes Jesus marvel, the widow who gives her two mites. From her example, we learn that God cares not so much what or how much we give, but HOW we give because God loves a cheerful giver!Join me as we explore the widow's two mites, on today's edition of Rinse and Repeat!(RAR2023EP09)
Mary.
When Jesus says her name - Mary - it changes EVERYTHING.
Why? Why does Jesus calling Mary by name matter so very much?
Isaiah 43:1 explains,
"But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine."

The lives of the two sisters from Bethany, Martha and Mary, are replete with lessons for us, lessons on managing misunderstandings, on bringing our disappointments to God, and so much more.
On today's episode, we look at these two friends of Jesus' and as we do, we learn how He invites us to sit at His feet and worship, and learn from Him as Mary did. As we do, we prevent so much of our most common anxieties by getting our priorities in order. It is a fitting lesson for me personally, as I chased skittles around my pantry and was in much need of reminding to keep my priorities straight!

I recently had the privilege of meeting up with a young lady who asked me one of the most honest questions I have been asked in a long time. She said."Everyone talks about our identity in Christ. But what does that EVEN mean?"I loved her honesty, and I really explored God's Word for answers! My definition for our identity in Christ is this: “1) who God says we are in His Word and 2) what He has called us to do as empowered by His Spirit.”Join me for this lagniappe edition of the program, as I explore lessons from the lives of Gideon and Moses and draw a key conclusion:We look at our weaknesses and say, “Who am I?” God looks at your weaknesses and says, WHO AM I?

Sometimes, something happens, and you just think, “This is it. This is the end. I will never…” and then you fill in the blanks… "I will never get married. I will never finish my college degree. I will never get a good job..."Things can happen that we deem the END, but that’s not how things work in God’s economy.Things that spell the end with us are often just the beginning with God.And so it is with the tale of TWO daughters today. One woman struggled with the flow of blood for 12 years, and a young girl died at 12 years of age. Both faced an end, then Jesus shows up on the scene, and changed EVERYTHING.Join me in Mark 5:21 as we explore the end, that was only the beginning!

“Some souls are developed by watching and waiting and abiding God’s time.”These words, spoken about Charlotte Maria Tucker, today’s contemporary woman of the Bible, also apply perfectly to the prophetess Anna. Anna watched. She waited. She abided. And God rewarded her faithfulness. She got to see the long-awaited Messiah!We may grow weary as we pray for the same things, seemingly over and over, but Anna’s story teaches us that God hears prayer, just as He heard Zaccarias and Elizabeth!Join me as we are encouraged to remain faithful to pray and serve God, as Anna did, while we await His answers to prayer!(RAR2023EP02)
Have you ever waited for something for so long - prayed for so long - that you simply believed God wasn't hearing you? Today we turn to our first NEW TESTAMENT woman of the Bible, as we explore the life of Elizabeth, the relative of Mary and mother of John the Baptist. Elizabeth was unable to have children for so long, and what she did while she waited is incredibly instructive for each of us. Elizabeth remained faithful to God, despite the reproach she faced because of her infertility.Join me as we turn to this first Rinse and Repeat episode of 2023!
As I complete my message on Mary's response to the angel's proclamation, I pray that we approach the New Year and all that God has for us with the same hopeful submission that Mary had.
Even when His direction leads us into unknown places and to do things we didn't think we ever could, can our response still be, "Lord let it be to me, according to Your word."?
It’s been said that perhaps the greatest humiliation Jesus faced wasn't the cross, but rather, the incarnation. The Creator of all allowed Himself to be born of parents whom He Himself created. He allowed Himself to experience hunger, thirst, exhaustion, every single human emotion in order to take on human form and save our souls… This Christmas I am meditating on the purpose of the incarnation, as you will hear in the opening of today's podcast. I also wanted to share a message I have shared with you before, considering Mary's great submission to God's plans as captured in her words, "let it be to me according to your word."Merry Christmas and much love to y'all, from each of us here at Rinse and Repeat!

In this episode, I conclude our look at the saga of Jacob and Esau, with an exploration of how to seek the Lord and how to forgive! Esau forgave Jacob, and that forgiveness opened the door for restoration in their relationship. In much the same way, God commands all believers to forgive. It is a choice we make, but it also isn’t optional for believers!!! Forgiveness opens the door to restoration, if such relationship restoration is desired or possible. Forgiveness can be difficult, and only possible by the power God gives by HIs Spirit and in obedience to His Word. Join me today for this special, personal edition of Rinse and Repeat.

Ever wonder why we as believers are so often faced with seemingly IMPOSSIBLE circumstances? Why it seems to be just one thing, after another, after another? Today’s study offers some insight. When faced with impossible circumstances, followers of Jesus can begin to see Him as LORD over impossible circumstances.

When we are hurt, disappointed, or frustrated, our first reaction might be to run from the difficult situation or person. We may also be inclined to complain to loved ones about what's bothering us. In today's lesson, we see an incredibly important alternative approach to dealing hurt. Today, we see Hannah running to God with her pain, running to God, even though it meant she was misunderstood by a person who was supposed to REPRESENT God! Nevertheless, she stayed the course, trusting God and bringing the pain of her infertility to Him in prayer. And even before her prayer was answered, even before Samuel was conceived and born, Hannah left that time of prayer CHANGED. Her demeanor was improved, her spirits lifted - because she trusted that God had heard her.

Even more, we see an example of WHY we must keep a GUARD over our hearts, as we talked about last week!

Ruth and Naomi's stories mean the world to me personally, because they are NOT stories based on perfection. Naomi had become bitter as a result of losing her husband and her sons, and she confessed her bitterness openly. Nevertheless, Naomi's bitterness was a moment in time - a season in her life - and it did not keep Ruth from following her to Bethlehem and it did not permanently mar Naomi's witness to Ruth. God was far greater than the season of weakness in Naomi's life.

“The liberty of those who have nothing to lose because they have nothing to keep. We can do without anything while we have God.” Lilias Trotter, missionary and artist, captures a profound truth we learn so clearly in Scripture, "Godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6). From her life, and the life of today's woman of the Bible, Rahab, we learn the great feats that can be done in the name of God when we are operating from a place of KNOWING who God is, because faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17).
Join me for this episode as we turn to our study of Rahab, and as we explore how this Gentile prostitute faced great fear with even GREATER faith! In this lesson, we can be encouraged that NOTHING in our past - absolutely NOTHING - can keep us from the great love of God we have in Christ.

What makes for a truly Biblical friend? Join me for this lagniappe edition of Rinse and Repeat, as we explore the friendship of David and Jonathan, and learn about REAL Biblical friendship!
Miriam, Moses' sister, was a prophetess and a leader of women, but she also struggled with envy. She wanted what Moses had - his position, his clout, his power. And the result was catastrophic. What happens when we struggle with envy? What does it cause us to do, to say, to BE? And even more, what happens when we ask those the question that can divide marriages, friendships, and churches: WHAT. ABOUT. ME. Turn in your Bibles with first to Exodus 15, as we explore the remarkable life of Miriam, our next woman of the Bible. (RAR2022EP32)
One of the hardest songs for me to sing in church is "I Surrender All," because I just don't really believe that I do. Think about it - do we really surrender ALL?
Today we resume our study of the Women of the Bible with Jochebed, the mother of Moses, a woman who trusted God and who surrendered her baby in a basket up the river because she trusted God.
What are we holding on to - what are we trying to control? What is God calling us to surrender?
Turn your Bibles to Exodus 2, for our next edition of Rinse and Repeat!

The words NO ONE with anxiety wants to hear: DON'T WORRY.
As one who suffers with anxious thinking, I can attest. Simply telling me NOT to worry does not help. If I could simply just STOP, of course I would... no, I need stronger weapons of warfare against worry!
In this last message in our Fear Not series, I explore prayer, thanksgiving, and encouragement as three key weapons to combat anxiety.
Turn with me to Philippians 4 as we begin "Weapons of War against Worry."

Pain actually has a PURPOSE.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

I have FINALLY come to the passage we ALL have been waiting for on fear!!!
2 Timothy 1:7, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Throughout this episode, and with this passage, I hope to better understand our fears - the healthy ones and the unhealthy ones - and what God's Word has to say about them. In particular, if God's Word tells us clearly in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God is NOT the source of unhealthy fears, what tools does He afford us to combat those fears, right here in this passage?
I also talk about how some of our healthy fears (like fear of standing in the way of an oncoming train or being mauled by a charging lion) can morph into unhealthy fears.
Above all, as we explore "Our Fears: The Good, The Bad, and The Under Control," I remind us from 1 John 4:18 that fear involves torment, and God's agape love casts out that fear, and with it, the torment that it brings.

This episode is incredibly personal for me, because it is about the role the church, the body of Christ, plays in helping us combat anxiety. In particular, we look at how we as Christians can help and be helped by being part of a local church, as I can testify firsthand.

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.”
In John 14:16, Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as our Helper, and in today’s program, we look at what that means for us in the face of our anxieties.
Put simply, believer, the Holy Spirit is WITH you, no matter what you are facing. Your fears may tell you you are alone or that no one understands, but those statements are lies. On the contrary, the Helper, the Paraclete in Greek, is “One called to come alongside” of you! You are NEVER alone.

Today's podcast explores lessons from the life of Rebekah, wife of Isaac. Her story starts of strong, as she models an incredible work ethic, but after the birth of her twin sons, Esau and Jacob, her life takes a turn.

The Bible says that for as a man THINKS so is he (Proverbs 23:7). In other words, we ARE what we THINK. Think anxious thoughts, become an anxious person. Think hateful thoughts, become a hateful person. Today on Rinse and Repeat, we are taking a CLOSE look at our thought life, using Philippians 4:8 as our guide. I am going to encourage us to: 1. PUT YOUR THOUGHTS ON TRIAL - ask yourself - is it true? is it honest/honorable? 2. RENEW YOUR MIND with thoughts then that ARE true, and honest, and so on!

I have often wondered why Sarah went along with Abraham's plan to call her his sister (rather than his wife) not once, but TWICE. If you recall Abraham did this with Pharaoh, and again with Abimelech. Why did Sarah go along with this plan? What examples in Scripture are there of wives who did not go along with their husbands when the plan involved disobeying God's Word?
In Sarah's life we see so many rich lessons of incredible faith - so much so that her story appears in the hall of faith in Hebrews 11:11. She is also an example to women in 1 Peter 3:1-6. So journey with me as we explore Sarah as an example of the beauty of obedience!

So often, when we face difficult or tempting circumstances, we can begin to develop some wrong thinking, which can then result in wrong actions. This pattern occurs in the life of Sarah, as we will see in today's episode of Rinse and Repeat, and in the lives of many other men and women in the Bible. And yet, despite Sarah's shortcomings, Sarah sees God's remarkable grace at work. God brings her the son He promised to her and Abraham, despite their old age. After all, is anything too hard for the Lord? Join me for this first of two episodes on the remarkable life of Sarah!

El Shaddai is the last name of God in our Names of God Series here on Rinse and Repeat. El Shaddai means God Almighty, All-Sufficient, and is a great way for us to conclude the names of God, especially after addressing our grueling inadequacies last week.
El Shaddai made a way for Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to be fruitful and multiply, despite their failures and issues of barrenness. El Shaddai is also frequently mentioned in the book of Job, where we are reminded that El Shaddai is Almighty when all is lost, and He is All-Sufficient, when everything seems to be gone.
Journey with me as we explore this last, and very great name of God.

What do you do when you hate yourself because you feel you will just NEVER be good enough? When you feel you just don't measure up?
This episode of Rinse and Repeat is particularly personal for me because this is not just a historical struggle, but many times a current one. In this lagniappe episode, I share lessons learned from God's Word about when we compare ourselves to others, when we accuse ourselves and feel wholly inadequate, and when we desperately need to remember the truth of who we are in Christ.

Elohim is our Mighty Creator God. This name of God is remarkably significant to us, especially as we face those many “I can’t do this any more moments.”
Remember Moses at the burning bush, when he felt he had to remind God that he wasn’t a good public speaker? He was telling God that He had the wrong person for the task of speaking to Pharoah and leading the Hebrews out of Egypt!
What does God say to Moses? “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord? Now, therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say” (Exodus 4:11-12)
God is Elohim, the Mighty Creator God. Nothing that He has called you to do, nothing that you are facing, is too hard for HIM to overcome through you.
If He could create the universe with a word, what is too hard for Elohim?

"Ms. Carol, what do you do when you hate yourself? When you make the same mistake over and over again, and you hate yourself for it?" The young man asked me the brutally honest question through many heartfelt tears, and I was so incredibly proud of him for doing so because it's a question I have been asked many times. It's a question I have asked MYSELF so many times.
So today's episode is incredibly personal.
In the first half of this podcast, we will explore what God's Word says when we condemn ourselves. We will look at where condemnation comes from and how it differs from conviction. We will consider what to do about that sin that keeps us in bondage, that thing we keep doing over and over and over again!
In the second half, we are going to look closely at this issue of self-hate.I will NOT be preaching the gospel of loving yourself to boost your self-esteem. Instead, we will see what God's Word says about why self-hate is wrong. We will see how we can speak the truth to ourselves!!
This issue is so deep, so personal, it may have to be a two-parter... so stay tuned for more!
