Rinse and Repeat with Carol Eskaros episodes

June 23, 2024 Content
Does my life belong to Christ?

How is my relationship with God's Word?

What does it look like to truly be content?

In today's episode, I ask a LOT of questions (deeply personal and hopefully meaningful ones), especially exploring Philippians 4:11b, "for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content."

All of that, and I get to share the biography of a TRULY remarkable missionary - the one and only Evie "Granny" Brand, who said, "Give me one more mountain for Christ!" today, on Rinse and Repeat!

June 17, 2024 Gentle
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!

June 10, 2024 Citizen
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!

June 03, 2024 Gain
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."

May 27, 2024 Work
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.

Turn your Bibles to Philippians 2, for today's episode of Rinse and Repeat!

May 20, 2024 Mind
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."
Some meaty stuff is coming up today on Rinse and Repeat!

May 13, 2024 One
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.

May 06, 2024 Live
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!

April 29, 2024 Confidence
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.

April 22, 2024 Healing from Relationship Hurts Redux (A Lagniappe)
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?”
