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! :)

I don't know about you, but sometimes it's easy to forget the ways in which the Lord has shown up for me, the ways He's answered prayers, the ways He's taken care of me. We're taking some time today to look at Jehosaphat and how he took time to remember the faithfulness of God in the midst of a hard situation.
Grab your Bible and let's get started.
xx, michelle

I don't know about you, but I'm really good at saying I'm trusting the Lord...but then the reality is...I'm holding back! I'm relying far too much on my own strength! Anyone else relate to this?!
I hope so...because that's what we're talking about today!
Grab your Bible and let's get started!

Oh friend...do you ever get hit between the eyes by the might and power of exactly WHO God is?
That's what happened to me as I was reading through Amos last week. I came to Amos 4:13 and was just in AWE of who MY GOD is!
I pray this blesses you and your heart today and gives you a reminder of how tightly and awesome your God is!

Do you ever just sit in AWE over the ABUNDANCE of the Lord?
The word ABUNDANT keeps coming to mind lately...so that's what we're talking about today! The fact that our God not only set the moon and stars into place, BUT He cares about each of us...I can't think of anything more abundant than that!
Grab your coffee and get comfy while we chat for a bit!

It can be quite challenging to balance all of those things...then throw in kids, dinner, carpool, sports, friends...aye yay yay! Am I right!?
