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!

198 || How You Respond to Rejection Matters More Than Your Success || Heather Thompson Day

Apr 28, 2021

Although she is the author of seven books, Dr. Heather Thompson Day has faced rejection after rejection in her dream of becoming a best-selling author.

Her newest book It’s Not Your Turn is the story of how God has used repeated rejections to shape her character over the years and to help her realize that who she is when she’s not in the spotlight is far more important than who she will be when she is.

Heather’s winsome stories of rebounding from the disappointments she has experienced remind us that our walk with God on this earth is a journey of growth and sanctification rather than a destination to be achieved.

Listen in as Heather talks about: 

  • Living her life as if whatever she’s doing right now is the most important thing.

  • Focusing not on earning acceptance and love by what we can accomplish but rather by how we love others.

  • And finally, you absolutely must listen for what her friend said that changed Heather’s perspective on how she lives her life, how she walks into a room, and her belief that God put you right where you are for a reason.
