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! :)

YIKES! A little spicy today! Right!
Well...it's the truth! I know I'm really good at looking down my nose at my husband and pointing out all that he's done wrong or not quite the way "I'd like", but the fact of the matter is...I need to stop thinking so highly of myself! I need to think with sober judgement according to the measure of faith God has given me!
Are you ready?
Let's get started!

I'd really love to say... "cultivate a thriving marriage in 7 simple steps", but we all know it's not quite that easy! Marriage takes work. A LOT of work! Cultivating this relationship can be HARD...but I do believe that there are many things we can do to help. Today we're going to talk about seven of them. This isn't exhaustive and they may not all work for you and your marriage right now...find one or two and run with them.
It's my deepest desire for us to be able to CULTIVATE marriages that grow AGAINST the grain of this world!
Let's get started!

I really wanted to have this beautiful list of ways I've preferred and prioritized my husband over the last 26 years...and I know there have been ways, but I kept hitting a wall. And then I felt the Lord nudging me to look at it from the other way...the ways I HAVEN'T prioritized my husband! OUCH! That was hard and so eye-opening...and I'm sharing it with you today!
My prayer is that if you see yourself in some of these ways you take some time to confess before the Lord and then ask your husband to forgive you as well...and then MAKE CHANGES!
Grab your earbuds, some coffee, and let's get started!

I know! HAPPY MONDAY...let's talk about PRIDE!
Pride is wicked and pervasive and DESTRUCTIVE! It will take more than the momentary joy it gives! As women who desire to grow thriving marriages we need to take a look at the ways in which we're allowing PRIDE to destroy!
Take a minute to pray and ask the Lord to open your eyes and heart to the pride that's making a nice comfy home there.
Let's get started!
