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! :)

For the first time in my life I've read through entire Bible!
I've shared about it over the last year, but now that I've completed (and started round 2) I wanted to share with you a few things that struck me while I read.
Mainly...why did I wait so long?
Shoot me a message if you've read through the Bible, are reading, or have been wanting to start reading!
Have an amazing day and let's get started!
xx, michelle

I'm fairly certain you've heard about this woman from Proverbs 31 and maybe you're even tempted to skip over this episode...I get it! How many times have we heard about this woman and walk away feeling "less than"...yet again!
Well...I don't believe the author, or our Lord, intends us to walk away with that feeling. In fact, I'm very confident that He wants us to walk away ENCOURAGED and CHALLENGED!
Take a listen to my perspective on this woman.

EEEEEEPPPPP!!! I'm so excited to share Jodie Berndt with you today!
I've shared all about her books in the past, but TODAY...she's ON THE PODCAST!!!
I like to take bold action and a month or so ago I decided to reach out to some amazing women who are definitely outside my sphere and Jodie responded almost immediately.
If you're new here then you may not know who Jodie is - she's the author of the "Praying the Scriptures ... " books. She's a wife, mom, and grandma who knows the ONLY way through each day is with Jesus by her side!
You can find her and all of her resources at jodieberndt.com.
Stick around...after my interview with Jodie I'm sharing what's coming up for November.
xx, michelle
If you listened to Ep 298 (apple podcast link) where I got super vulnerable and shared a big piece of my heart with you...or if you've ever struggled with understanding exactly what Biblical intimacy in your marriage could and should look like...then would you mind taking a minute to fill this out for me?
THANK YOU!

Hallelujah and AMEN!
I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm so glad that God does not change!!!
This month we'll be talking about gratitude and thanksgiving from a little different perspective...yes! we should be thankful for the things the Lord has given us...but what if we also spent some time in gratitude and appreciation for WHO our God is!
So...that's what we're doing!
Grab your coffee and let's get started!

Friend!!!
Aside from the fact that Jesus paid my penalty on the cross...the Bible may be my 2nd most favorite thing! I can't imagine living without the written word of God!
That's what we're chatting about today!
Let's get started.
Also...if you haven't done so...I'd love to hear from you!

Heeeeeeyyyyyy there friend!!!
It's been a lot longer than I ever imagined...definitely a time of Proverbs 16:9 - “The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD determines his steps." I had plans... BUT GOD!
Did you catch the changes?
From the name - going back to the OG ... to the pod art ... to the MUSIC!! Ooooh!! I'm definitely a little bit rock and roll and love me a good rock band song. Hello...I'm a product of the 80's.
But above all...it is my heart's desire to point you to JESUS! He is worthy of all praise and honor and worship. I don't want to just walk with Jesus...I want to walk, sleep, speak, eat, dream, dance, drive, teach, parent, work...do EVERYTHING with Jesus. There is POWER in His name!
I'm so glad you're here and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store!!
If you love this podcast, can I ask you to do me a favor? (it won't cost you any money!)
- Pray! Pray for me. Pray the Lord is honored and glorified in all that is said and done here. Pray that it is HIS name that is extoled above all else!
- SHARE the podcast on your socials
- Leave a REVIEW - this helps in a BIG way. Just like with IG or FB or TT…podcasts run on an algorithm that I won’t even begin to understand…but reviews not only help the show to be seen, but it helps me when I want to reach out to those BIG names on other podcasts. So…LEAVE A 5 STAR REVIEW…please
Please know...I'm praying for YOU!
Thanks for supporting this podcast. :)
