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! :)

257 // Your SUPER POWER As A Wife | MINDSET MONDAY

As wives we have a super power within our home...are we using it for good or for evil?

Find a cozy little spot, curl up, and let's get started.

xx, Michelle

259 // Encouragement For the MAMAS! 20 Things I’ve Learned In 20 Years Of Being A Mom

Thursday Mar 30, 2023

Today is my youngest daughter's 13th birthday! To celebrate I wanted to share 20 things I've learned along this journey of motherhood. My oldest turned 20 a few weeks ago and my middle is 17. I asked them to tell me what they think I've done right, things I could grow in, and what they wish moms knew.

So...that's what I'm sharing today.

By no means is this an exhaustive list...in fact, my original iteration was 3 things I've learned...but if you've been here a while you know brevity is not my strength...so in honor of my oldest, I stopped at 20.

It is my deepest prayer that you find encouragement in today's episode.

xx, michelle

260 // God IS Our Refuge And Strength | Mindset Monday | Psalm 46

Monday Apr 03, 2023

Do you have those verses that you can recite without really even thinking about them?

Yeah...me too. And today's Mindset Monday is one such occasion. I've ready Psalm 46 many times, I KNOW to say that the Lord IS my refuge and strength, but too often my head knowledge and my ACTIONS aren't lining up.

Not only are we diving in to the first three verses of Psalm 46, but I'm sharing something with you that was recently shared with me. I hope you find this episode encouraging!

xx, michelle
