Hey there friends! Thanks so much for stopping by, I’m Michelle Castro, the host of the Consider Jesus Podcast. I’ve gone back and forth on what to share here and how to prepare you for what’s to come. I’m a bottom line kinda girl and the nuts and bolts of it is…I want to encourage you to CONSIDER JESUS in all you do, but I also want to do that while having REAL, RAW, and HONEST conversations about those things we, as Christians, just don’t seem to talk about. Things like grief, sex, loss, marriage, parenting, mental health, friendships, and so much more! Through the ups and downs of my own personal story I’ve kinda become the one who tends to rip the bandaid off and say the hard things. Not because it comes naturally…nope, I’d really prefer to keep my dirt hidden, but because, the Lord has so kindly shown me that I am NOT THE ONLY ONE walking these different roads! I know you have a lot on your plate…whether it’s being a wife, mama, working, all of these, some of these, or completely different things…I want this place to be a space of comfort and encouragement! hebrews 3:1 says “Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, Webster’s dictionary defines “consider” like this: “to gaze on steadily or reflectively” I LOVE that! I want to gaze steadily upon Jesus. I want to REFLECT Him in all I do…and I’m guessing…you do too! It’s my desire through this podcast to point you to Jesus while sharing real life stuff with you! You’ll hear from me and some pretty incredible guests. I’m not your typical 51 year old…I have fuschia hair, like my free people barrels, I’m just as happy reading a book on the couch as I am with my miter saw in the garage working on some hair-brained DIY project. I love a little coffee with my creamer, sitting around the kitchen table catching up with my family, and I’ll drive just about anywhere if tacos are involved! Thanks for taking a listen…I’ll see ya inside the pod! :)

Webster's dictionary defines weary as exhausted in strength, endurance, vigor, or freshness. Does that describe you right now? You're coming to the end of the year...you've likely been running hard. Everything is colliding at once.
You have those GOALS you want to hit.
You have all of the things that need to get done.
You have your own personal expectations.
Nothing wrong with any of these...but we get to the end of the year and the busyness and, I don't know about you...but I get weary! I get tired! I get downright EXHAUSTED!
Friend...I'm sharing 6 Bible verses for you to meditate upon...find one that speaks to you, write it down, memorize it, and lean on the truths found in God's word.
xx,
michelle

When I say "lessons through the fire of life" I actually mean the LITERAL FIRE of life!
My family and I just experienced a fire in our garage. We're all ok, healthy, and safe, but it was scary! It was your worst nightmare coming to life.
But friend...I want to share with you...Our good God protected us. He watched over us. He provided in ways that we never even could've imagined.
In today's episode I'm sharing with you some lessons I'm learning through this literal fire, but the reality is...these lessons can be applied to any sort of fire - any trial - health, business, relationships...fill in the blank. Whatever you're going through ... I want to encourage you to lay it all at the feet of the Lord, Jesus Christ. He is more than capable of carrying it all! Over and over in Matthew 6:25-34 we're told to not be anxious or don't worry...the Lord WILL take care of you!!
I pray you find yourself resting in the goodness of God as we prepare to celebrate the birth of the KING of kings!!!
Merry Christmas!
xx, Michelle

MERRY DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS!!!
For the last 25 days I've been sharing a different name of Jesus in the Facebook community and yesterday was the best of them all! JESUS!
The name Jesus means God is Salvation!
I can think of no better way to set our mind this Monday, but on the name of Jesus! He was sent to take away our sins!
Yes and AMEN!!!

Happy New Year!
Do you make resolutions? Do you choose a word for the year? Do you choose a Bible Verse for the year?
Do you do a little of all 3 and then a few others?
I love the new year...it feels like a fresh start...and right about now it feels good to open a new book.
Today's episode is a short one and I'm sharing my verses for 2023. I'm pretty sure I've shared them with you recently...but today's episode is devoted exclusively to them.
I'm wishing you the most amazing 2023.
PRAISE THE LORD!

Hey friend!
Happy 2023!
Anyone else sit around while you're working from home and just feel UNINSPIRED?
MEEEEE!!!
I have a million things pinned to pinterest boards and yet...they don't "just happen". I want my work space to be beautiful and exciting...but, too often, I just don't know where to start.
Have you ever considered the relationship between your work space and your productivity?
I'm sharing my friend, Dani Watson with you. She's a former first grade teacher turned home decorator. She’s the daughter of the King, wife, boy mom, and popcorn enthusiast.
She’s the host of the #1 ranked home design podcast, fig & farm at home.
She teaches busy moms with REAL homes and REAL budgets how to break free from the pinterest perfect trap to create a home that tells their story with their style.
She believes that homes are a canvas for storytelling, that kiddos are an integral part of that story and that you CAN share space happily with kids, pets, and husbands.
She believes that you can have a Pottery Barn style with a Target budget and that homes don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.

Do you ever find yourself wondering if you're doing what the Lord would have for you to do?
Or maybe you've loved your business, your team, your company, but 2023 hit and instead of being very sure of where you're going and what your goals are you find yourself unsure if this is really what the Lord has for you.
What once seemed so incredibly clear now seems a little muddied.
That's what we're talking about today.
Here's what we know to be true...Our God is NOT a God of confusion...and we're going to talk about what you can do if you find yourself in this place of uncertainty.
Let's hop in and get started.
xx,
Michelle

Grow, More, and LESS TIME isn't that the Business TRIFECTA we're all after?!
I know I am.
As an entrepreneur I feel like it's a constant game of how I can accomplish more in less time without sacrificing quality. That's basically what my friend Faith and I are talking about today.
Faith is a Jesus lover, wife, barrel racer, worship leader, accidental SEO expert, copywriter, podcaster, and wrangler of tiny humans.
She podcasts over at Simple SEO & Marketing, where she shares shoot-ya-straight, VERY practical tips on how to SCALE your online business using SEO, Keywords, and blogging.
Faith is a firm believer that business and Christianity should always intersect, SEO shouldn’t require a Harvard degree, and that horse hair and dog hair are a legit part of any good day.
I know you're going to love her as much as I do!
Grab your pen and paper and let's get going!!
xx,
michelle

God's word will NEVER return void and I'm so incredibly grateful for that! There isn't a single passage or verse in scripture that was not and has not been inspired by God. Every word is ACTIVE and LIVING and as I was reading this morning these verses leapt out at me and I just had to share them with you.
I don't know where you are right now...maybe you're walking in the hardest, darkest days of your life or maybe you're King Midas where everything you seem to barely look at turns to gold in one way or another or maybe you're some where in between - no matter where you are it is my deepest prayer that you're able to Praise the Lord in it all.
Grab your earbuds and let's get started!
xx,
michelle
