The Devoted Dreamers Podcast


Whether you have a dream in your heart or aren’t sure what God might be calling you to, The Devoted Dreamers Podcast will encourage you on the journey. This space is dedicated to sharing stories every week of women who are following Jesus and pursuing their God-given gifts in beautifully imperfect ways. You’ll hear about the fears and challenges that threaten their dreams as well as the joy, courage and confidence that comes from following Jesus even in the unexpected…especially in the unexpected.

I’m your host, Merritt Onsa, and my prayer is that this show will meet you where you are in your walk with God. I hope you will come away from the podcast each week with encouragement to begin pursuing your own dreams even when you still feel flawed, imperfect, unfinished and not ready. Because if you wait until you are perfect, you will never take the first step. Join us!

Fear is a common feeling once you start chasing God-shaped dreams, but this fear is not from God. We have a very real enemy to seeks to steal, kill and destroy you and your dreams. Thankfully, we also have a good Father in heaven who loves and cherishes you, and He wants to empower courage in you, especially in the face of fear.

In this episode, you’ll learn four strategies to overcome the fear and anxiety you feel related to pursuing a God-shaped dream. You will learn how to create your own plan, like I did, to take steps forward, despite your fears. Hear why it’s important to discern what is driving your fearful feelings and gain insight on trusting God to intervene on your behalf.   

Fear is the struggle I hear about most frequently from listeners and guests on the show. If you feel fear about pursuing your dream, you are not alone. Don’t let the enemy tell you that. It’s a lie. Instead, listen to my story and decide, based on your own dream, what steps you can take next to stop fear from stealing your dream.

This solo episode is tied directly to my last four solo episodes. Check out the show notes for the Bible verses I mentioned in this episode and the links to those episodes here: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/119.
