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!

066 || Proof that God is in the Details || Jeannie Blackmer

Nov 1, 2017

Jeannie Blackmer is the author of three books on the topics of confident mothering, celebrating the roll of “boy mom” and stories of perseverance for women. She has been encouraging women through her blog posts on a variety of Christian websites and her work published in Guideposts, Today’s Christian Woman, Thriving Family, and MomSense. Jeannie has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in journalism from the University of Colorado in Boulder. She’s married to Zane and they have three adult sons who, for now, all reside in Boulder, CO. She’s celebrating launch day today – Nov. 1, 2017 – of her fourth book, Talking To Jesus.

In this interview, Jeannie talks about how her dream to write complemented her desire to work from home once she had young children. She shares some of the early baby steps that helped get her feet wet in the writing/publishing world, and what you need to know if you want to self-publish a book, like she did with Talking to Jesus.

If you’ve ever been curious about how to get started writing or self-publishing or how God shows up in even the little details, I’m sure you’re going to enjoy this conversation.
