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! :)

Every where I turn there's a post, a video, an email, a blog, etc telling me what I *need* to be doing as a wife, a mom, an entrepreneur, and so on...but the reality is most of those things don't align with what the Lord has uniquely called me to as a wife and mom.
I like to keep things simple. I'm sharing three things you can start doing TODAY to stand out and be a LIGHT in this dark world pointing to Jesus!
Let's get started!
xx, Michelle

We throw the word "love" around...but do we really understand it?
Do we TRULY understand the kind of love God has called us to?
I know I don't.
I like to think it's this flowery, Hollywood / hallmark thing...but it's not!
We're going to take a look at one of the most famous passages about love - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. We're going to talk about the 8 things love does NOT do!
Ready?
Grab your coffee and let's get started!
xx, Michelle

I love having guests on, but even more I love it when I PERSONALLY know and love this person. Today is such a situation.
I met Jenn about 14 or 15 years ago during a gymnastics class our daughters were taking. You know when you meet someone and you instantly love them...that was Jenn!
Since then the Lord has walked her through some pretty intense trials...she's a mom to two kiddos with her first husband who was tragically killed and a stepmum to two daughters when she remarried their dad...who happens to be from Ireland...hence "step-mum". She has a love and passion for the Lord that I envy and desire.
She shared a post on IG the other day and I text her right away - I asked if she'd talk about intentionally prioritizing her marriage to all of you...because I know I am blessed by what she shares and I know you will be too!
You can find Jennifer on IG - @jjoslerbolton
Let's get started!
