Hey there friend!
I’m BACK!!!
Oh man! I’m so incredibly excited to be back with ya’ll! No...I’m not from the south. :)
Born and raised in Southern California and it’s never been more apparent to me how important and essential my relationship with Jesus is! He is my life, my breath, and my everything! Sure...I try to help him out way more than I should, but then I remember HE DOESN’T NEED MY HELP! Talk about a blow to the ego! But that’s what He wants...right? He wants us to remember that we NEED Him for EVERYTHING...every single day!
That’s what we’re talking about here on the podcast.
Marriage, motherhood, and everything in between...it’s hard with Jesus and even harder without him. If you’re here, then I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that you’re like me...you find yourself a little too firmly planted in this world and you’re seeking Jesus more and more. You want your marriage, your motherhood, your work, your fun to mean more...you want to make a difference in the little and big moments of the day. You want to seek Jesus in every conversation, in every moment!
Well, if that’s you...then you’re in the right place!
Welcome...I’m Michelle Castro.
Wife to my sweet hubby for nearly 27 years, mama to three daughters here on earth and one sweet son in Heaven. I’m always up to find amazing tacos, grab an iced latte, head to the beach, or hang out at home with the fam watching a movie, eating popcorn, and doing who knows what!
I don’t believe in accidents...so I’m glad you’re here and I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store!
xx, Michelle

305 // GROWTH AGAINST THE GRAIN IS BACK!!!! SEEKING JESUS IN EVERY CONVERSATION
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!

306 // STOP making everything so complicated
Anyone else have the gift of overcomplicating or overextending????
Just me?!Ok...well then...keep scrolling.
But...if you too have a tendency to self-inflict pain in the form of over complicating, then this little soundbite is for you!
The reality is...if we're overcommitted and overextended we can't really show up for Jesus like we should...which then means that we're probably not doing such a stellar job for our family...just a guess...cause that's how things play out for me. :(
Hop in, let's get going.

307 // WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO "SEEK JESUS IN EVERY CONVERSATION"?
Have you been hearing me say that - "seek Jesus in every conversation" and wonder what exactly I mean by that?
Well, that's what we're talking about today. Sometimes we're in FACE TO FACE conversations and we're ignoring the prompting of the Holy Spirit to say what He wants us to say...and sometimes we're just going about our day...how do we seek Jesus in the big and little things of life?
Hop in and take a listen.

308 // The time I threw my back out | Our weaknesses are meant to point us to Christ
Today on GATG we're talking about our weaknesses and how, as a Christian, it's so good to be reminded that they are a good thing. They are meant to point us to Christ. It's one of those things that we probably say and agree with, but then when the rubber hits the road, the bottom falls out, life is insanely hard, or maybe you throw your back out and your forced to ask yourself if you actually believe what you too eagerly agree with!
Yes...that was a run-on sentence, but no one's grading me, so I'm totally ok with it!
Hop in and take a listen. I'd love to hear your REAL LIFE examples of when the Lord has reminded you that those weaknesses are actually an opportunity to see HIS goodness and mercy!
See ya inside!xx, Michelle
