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!

What does the day-to-day of your dream look like? 

Imagine you could see ten years into the future of your God-shaped dream. What would an “ideal day” in the life of your dream be like? How would you be spending your time?  

➡️ Are you sitting at a laptop in your favorite coffee shop tapping away at a manuscript?

➡️ Is it spending a few hours a day in your home office / workshop fulfilling orders for your art pieces? 

➡️ Maybe you’re on a stage teaching the Bible to women who are hungry for the Word of God, and afterwards you get to participate in a lively conversation about taking the gospel and the love of Christ to a hurting world.

But what if you’re still not sure what exactly He’s asking of you? 

And how do you even begin to answer these questions? 

Do you just start and figure it out along the way?

I’m tackling these questions in this episode -- the first in a series of short conversations laying the groundwork for how we get started on a dream, what needs to come first, and how to think about moving forward when the path isn’t absolutely clear.

 

If you could choose (and you can!), what would it look like to live out your dream? 

I’m asking you to consider a few key questions in this episode, including:

  • Do you know what your ideal day would include?
  • How can you begin in the way you want to go?
  • What support might you need to bring the dream to life?
  • How can you shape your day-to-day activities so all of your priorities fit?

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: 

I’m creating something new in 2024, for the Devoted Dreamer who wants to lay a firm foundation in her life so she can realistically consider stepping into a God-shaped dream in 2024. Here’s the link for more information: https://www.merrittonsa.com/first90days
