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!

089 || How to Loosen Your Grip on Your Dream || Kristi Hayes

May 2, 2018

Kristi Hayes is the Founder and CEO of Be Strong Story, a business spreading the message from a simple lunch box note that her husband wrote to their son: Be Strong. Protect the Weak. Love Everyone.TM Now, this is not only the tagline for their business, it’s become an action statement for their family as they work with homeless and others who need a second chance. Kristi’s greatest desire is to influence and inspire families to go into the vulnerable places and serve others. She’s a certified personal trainer and Level 1 Crossfit Trainer, a mom of 2 kiddos, 2 cats and 1 dog, and wife to Grant.  On any given day you will find her walking on her hands with her kids, building a team of women to do what they didn’t think possible, and re-decorating multiple rooms in her house.

In this episode, Kristi shares the story about how Be Strong Story was born and the years prior in which God taught her to hold loosely to her dreams. You will be inspired to work hard at your dream but also to check yourself for clues that you’re gripping it too tightly. You will learn Kristi’s bold but simple strategy to find a mentor and the value of obedience, even if you can’t see the rewards right away.   

In celebration of Mother’s Day, Kristi is offering a discount code for Devoted Dreamers listeners on any purchase in their store, like a Be Strong Story cuff or disk necklace. See below for more information.
