Rinse and Repeat with Carol Eskaros

Today we study the first woman in our Woman of the Bible series, the FIRST woman of the Bible, Eve. Eve's story is NOT just one of the fall and curse of mankind - hers is a beautiful story of creation, of the role of a wife, and of the unity God intended for marriage.   Eve's life offers us so many rich lessons - it will take us two episodes to cover them all!  Join me for part one, toda...

We now embark on an entirely NEW series here on Rinse and Repeat - one exploring the remarkable Women of the Bible! In this introduction, we undergo a survey of women in the Old Testament, women interacting with Jesus, and women in the early church and the epistles.  As we will see, men and women are equal and have different roles in the Bible and in life! Join me as we explore these remarkab...

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...

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, whe...

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...

"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 episod...

Sometimes it FEELS like no one is there. It feels like we are alone, like no one cares, like no one sees us. Our feelings are REAL, but they aren't necessarily TRUE. The fact is that God is always there, He sees us, His name is El Roi, the God who sees me. Join me as we explore this next very great name of God, El Roi. (RAR2022EP05)

El Elyon is God Most High. In this episode, we take a close look at Genesis 14, and how Abram does not give into an opportunity to seek his own glory, but instead gives glory to El Elyon! As we study this mighty name of God, we will be challenged to give God the rightful place due His name, despite temptations to do the opposite.  We will also explore how we can combat our tendency to want to...

Do you find yourself incredibly concerned about what other people think about you? Whether we call it people-pleasing, reputation worship, or approval addiction, our desire to be well-liked can cause us to make all sorts of poor, sometimes even self-destructive decisions. On today's lagniappe episode, I will explore a church that Paul highly esteemed, and understand why he thought so highly of the...

Who is God? God is who He says He is, as revealed in His Word. But a related question - who is God TO US? Often, our God does not match up to the God of the Bible.  We act as though He is not ever present, that He isn't always near... On today's podcast, we begin our second series on the names of God with His great name, Adonai, which means, "Lord and Master." This study has challenged me so...

One of the most common accusations leveled against Christians is that we are "self-righteous."

Jehovah Sabaoth is the name of God today, and it means The LORD OF HOSTS... Amos 4:13 tells us, " For behold, He who forms mountains, and creates the wind, who declares to man what his thought is,and makes the morning darkness, who treads the high places of the earth—  The Lord God of hosts is His name." It is an incredibly overwhelming notion that the he God of Angel Armies is BY OUR SIDE! &...
