April 15, 2024 When You are Desperate, As In REALLY Desperate (A Lagniappe)
"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!

April 08, 2024 I Got Joy! Joy! Joy!
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!

April 01, 2024 The End is Only the Beginning
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!

All this and more, today, on Rinse and Repeat!

March 25, 2024 Good Grief
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!!!! Join us starting in 2 Samuel 16!

March 18, 2024 Betrayed
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.

March 11, 2024 Misunderstood, until Jesus Steps In
Misunderstandings and miscommunications account for the loss of countless friendships, the dissolution of churches, and the damage of marriage, but that need not be the case.

On this week's lagniappe edition of Rinse and Repeat, we explore how one woman of the Bible, Mary of Bethany, was misunderstood again and AGAIN and how Jesus defends her each time. Jesus not only defends her, He commends her.

Tune in this week, and learn how you, too, can trust the Lord as you face misunderstandings and miscommunications.

March 04, 2024 Dysfunctional Family Fallout
Today we study one of the saddest accounts in Scripture - the sexual assualt of Tamar by her brother Amnon.

Listeners be cautioned - In studying the entire counsel of God, Rinse and Repeat will cover sensitive subjects. This episode discusses issues such as sexual assault and pornography and may not be suitable for younger listeners or those who are triggered by such topics.

February 26, 2024 Having and Handling Hard Conversations
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!

February 19, 2024 When You are Misunderstood
Have you ever tried to do something kind, and were grossly misunderstood?
Then you have experienced precisely the situation David faces in 2 Samuel 10. In today's episode, we see how the misunderstanding could have been avoided, and how we too can avoid and handle misunderstandings in our own lives.
Beyond that, today's episode gives us insight into how God's hand was on David, preserving him, and how God very much does the same with each of us.
Turn to 2 Samuel 8-10 for SEVERAL rich lessons from the life of David, today on Rinse and Repeat!

February 12, 2024 I Need to Rekindle My Fire! (A Lagniappe Edition)
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. Join me for a special edition of R&R today!
