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! :)

Have you ever seen things happen in your life or the life of someone else and you think..."wow! what a crazy coincidence!"
Here's the thing...there aren't coincidences with God!
Everything He does is planned and for a reason.
Today I'm sharing about two different stories from the Bible - one from the Old Testament and the other from the New Testament - I read these on the same day...because the Lord wanted to make it clear that there's no such thing as coincidences!
I don't know where the Lord has you right now...but it's not an accident!
Take a minute to pray before you listen today - ask the Lord to open your eyes, your heart, your mind, and your soul to see Him in a new and deeper way!
Let's get started!
xx,
Michelle

Can you relate?
It's like one part of your brain is screaming from the rooftops... "MY GOD IS ABLE!!" and the other part of your brain is like..."yes...BUT... [fill in the blank]"
I know that all to well!
Today we're going to take a little look at one small verse in Acts 26...but since the Lord is working on me surrendering EVERYTHING over to Him He's showing me and reminding me of HIS power and majesty...so I'm passing that along to you.
Grab your Bible and let's get started.
xx, Michelle

I know! I KNOW!
You are capable and able to do all the things and then some!
BUT...let me ask you the question that the Lord has been putting before me...are you doing it in your strength or GOD'S?
That's what we're talking about today...God's strength and how the applies to your business!
Grab your coffee - it's that thing that's beeping at you from the microwave...and let's get started.
xx, Michelle

Raise your hand if you like SIMPLICITY!
MEEEEE!
Especially when it comes to things like praying!
There are so many books and examples out there of how to pray, but I heard this a few years ago and it has been what I come back to any time I'm stuck and unsure how to pray.
I pray it impacts you as it's impacted me.
xx, Michelle

Today's episode is a little unique...as I was going through boxes of memorabilia (ya know...cause of the fire) I ran across some sermon notes from when I was in high school. Most of them I threw away, but this one caught my eye. I don't know what goals and visions I was imagining for my life at that time, but what struck me is how applicable everything was over 30 years later! Sure the circumstances have changed just a bit, but this is just as good today as it was then. I pray that this blesses you wherever you find yourself today!
xx,
Michelle

Truth is...we aren't invisible to our good God...but sometimes it definitely seems like we are! Or is that just me?
Well...that's what we're talking about today! I'm sharing with you about an event I had the privilege of attending recently where I heard Priscilla Shirer speaking. She shared words that I needed to hear and I know you may need to hear them too!
Hop in and let's get started!
xx, Michelle
