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!

There is purpose for your life; you are not here by accident. I believe there’s enough in God’s word to back this up, so today I’m talking about the two perspectives I’ve been wrestling with related to this topic and how we decipher our God-shaped dreams. The first perspective is that He uses our gifts and talents for our good, for the good of others, and for His Kingdom. The second perspective is that He uses us in spite of our weakness, failure, or even our blatant rejection of His calling upon our lives.

If you’re not sure yet what your God-shaped dream might be, you may find yourself feeling confused. Should your dream flow out of what you’re naturally good at or the skills and life experiences that have made you who you are today? Or might God be calling you to something completely outside of anything you’ve ever considered? Listen in, and let me know what you think.

This solo episode is tied directly to my last two solo episodes (#107- You are a Daughter of the King and #110 – You Have Great Value and Worth), in case you want to check those out before you hear this one.

I’ve got a homework assignment for you again. I suggest you to take the next 30 days to process through and write out your answers to these questions if you’re still trying to figure out your God-shaped dream.

You’ll find the show notes, the questions, the verses I mentioned in this episode, and the links to other episodes I referenced, here, in the show notes: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/113.
