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!

Heather Boersma says the dream she is pursuing today wasn’t on her radar two decades ago when a pastor prayed it over her. Since then it has been a journey of learning, trusting and listening to God, faltering, and then remembering to trust and listen to Him again.

In this episode she talks about the importance of intimacy with God, especially if you’re struggling to make progress or looking for a road map with next steps toward your dream. What she shares will open your eyes to the significance of resting and trusting in Jesus.

You’ll also hear the best reason NOT to measure success via your results but rather in your obedience to God. She’ll teach us about the importance of our mindset as well as the power of agreeing with the truth God speaks over you through His word and not the lies of the enemy.

Heather Boersma is a speaker, author and life coach who loves to adventure with her husband Alex and their three kids Cohen, Claire and Byron. She has been speaking to teen girls and women for the past 12 years in Canada and the USA and recently published her second book, "Letters from a Big Sister". She loves hearing people’s stories, sitting by the ocean, and eating ice cream.
