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! :)

A few years ago I heard the idea of a word for the year as opposed to resolutions. I've never really been good at the whole "resolution" thing...so the idea of simplifying it down to a word sounded like a GREAT idea!
I've been struggling with finding just the "right" word or words for this year...but I'm gonna share all of that with you in today's episode!!
Let's get to it!
xx,
michelle

We're talking about Low Tox Living and how stewarding the resources the Lord has entrusted in to your care have an impact upon your family and business. I'm sharing my friend, Elyse Rooney from the Wholesome Mumma Podcast with you today. I love her simple approach to low-to living. She does it in an easy to understand way without passing judgement or making you feel less-than because you still enjoy your vanilla coffee mate creamer! haha!
Elyse is first and foremost a follower of Jesus, married to
her best friend, mumma to 3 littles, Christian motherhood
coach and chai latte enthusiast.
Elyse helps Christian mums to step into their God led
calling of homemaking and raising their children whilst
partnering with the Word. She is passionate about helping
overwhelmed mums trade stress for peace and create flow
in their home. Elyse also shares her journey of moving to a
slow, simple way of living and why all mothers should
embrace a more natural lifestyle.
Elyse is the host of a top 2% podcast, The Wholesome
Mumma Show. She believes it is possible to spend quality
time with your children, without the mum guilt of letting
the home or the to do list go.

FRIEND...I know I over use the words "I'm so excited", but today I truly am! We're talking about Ruth...that amazing woman from the Old Testament who trusted the Lord and her Mother-in-law in ways I don't know I ever have.
I know you want big things for your business, for your family, and for your life...start here!
Grab that cup of coffee and let's set our minds on the things of the Lord this Monday!
xx, Michelle

I don't know about you, but I am a master manipulator with myself! I can convince myself that I'm right where the Lord wants me and not even realize that I've completely fooled myself into believing that!
Please don't leave me hangin...I can't be the only one who's ever done that before.
Today we're asking the question...Are you Where YOU WANT to be OR... ARE YOU WHERE GOD WANTS YOU TO BE? And how do you find peace and contentment where the Lord has you RIGHT NOW!
Are you ready for this?
Let's get started!
xx, michelle

You are juggling so many different things. I know you're greatest and deepest desire is to honor the Lord in all you do. BUT....have your priorities gone a little rogue? Have they gotten out of whack?
Today that's exactly what we're talking about. And we're going to start by looking at 3 areas to get an idea of how far off course they've gotten.
And please know...I'm not coming from the "I've got it all figured out" stand point...your girl is a hot mess express and this episode is completely born to of the understanding that my priorities have been outta whack for far longer than I care to admit!
Grab your coffee, water, tea or all three and let's get goin.
xx,
Michelle

I don't know about you...but I've been GUILTY (far more often than I'd care to admit) of finding nice and good ways of justifying my disobedience to the Lord!
YIKES!
Can you even imagine!?
Basically...that's what we're talking about today and we're taking it straight out of Scripture!
Without further ado...let's get started!
xx,
michelle

OUCH!
Sorry, Not Sorry!
We stand in church, we sing the songs, we say the words, BUT...do you really and TRULY believe what you're saying...or are you just saying it because you've always said those things, sang those songs, done those deeds?
As always...this has been a massive heart check for me FIRST AND FOREMOST!
It's so easy to sing about the goodness of God and then...the you know what hits the fan and you're sitting there thinking...is God REALLY good? Do I really want Him to take me somewhere where all I can do is TRUST Him?! Is that REALLY what I meant to say and pray!?
That's what we're chatting about today!
Grab that coffee...it might be good to be extra caffeinated today!
xx,
Michelle

In today's episode I'm sharing 10 things the Lord has made abundantly clear to me over the last few months as I've been reading through the Bible starting in Genesis. Naturally, there are thousands of things that I can learn and will learn, but these 10 popped up and I just had to share.
Here's the thing...the Bible may have been written thousands of years ago...but it is NOT an antiquated book that does not relate to what we're experiencing today in the 21st century! In fact, everything we're seeing today from the most amazing to the absolute most disgusting and vilest events have already been seen in the Bible!
Take a listen and I'd love to know what you'd add to this list!
xx,
Michelle

Bring on the SUCCESS & PROSPERITY! YES PLEASE!
#amiright!
Ok...well...let's back up just one second...today we're setting our mind on what the Bible says about success and prosperity. Crazy thing...God's word tends to cover just about every topic you could imagine. Let's dive in and see what the Lord says about these two things!

michelle

GIRLLLLLL I know...I KNOW you look at the woman described in Proverbs 31:10-31 and have a desire to be like her...and I'm all for that. I love that she's creative and industrious - YES AND AMEN! But I want to take a look at her from a perspective that I feel like gets missed too often or it's mentioned and then we're off to admiring how she found a field and bought it, how she's making a profit, or she's clothed in fine linen or that her family is taken care of. She's able to do everything with ease.
Today we're chatting about WHY this woman is able to do all of that and more and WHY her husband and children bless and praise her! I know I want that and I'm confident you do too!
Ready?
Grab that coffee...and let's get started!
xx,
michelle
