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!

116 || [SOLO] Two Simple Reasons Your Dream is Not About You || Merritt Onsa

Apr 17, 2019

God has a plan for His people and His Kingdom; that means He has a plan for you and your life, too. You likely have a dream of your own, a passion that burns deep inside and makes you want to leap from bed in the morning.

Maybe your dream is a desire to change the world for the better, or make beautiful things, or teach others what you have learned on your journey. Whatever it is, God put it in your heart on purpose.

When that dream begins to bubble up, you might be so busy doing what I did – figuring out the next steps – that you completely forget to ask who your dream is meant to serve. This episode will coach you through a list of questions to ask yourself, journal and to pray over as you consider who your dream is for, because one thing is for certain, if it’s from God, your dream is not solely about you.

This solo episode is tied directly to my last three solo episodes (#107- You are a Daughter of the King and #110 – You Have Great Value and Worth, and #113 – You Were Created for a Reason) in case you want to listen in order.  

You’ll find the show notes, the homework questions, the Bible verses I mentioned in this episode, and the links to other episodes I referenced, here, in the show notes: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/116.
