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!

202 || The Delight of Keeping it Simple and Working from Your Zone of Genius|| Sarah Maddack

Jun 30, 2021

The story of how Sarah Maddack discovered her God-shaped dream illustrates the value of keeping things simple and paying attention to what flows naturally out of the gifts, talents, and experiences God has given you. Sarah didn’t know the path He would take her on; none of us do. But she was willing to take risks and try new things, to stand out from the crowd, and to trust that God is so much bigger than any of the insecurities she may have felt in the beginning, before she became a TikTok sensation.

I love Sarah’s encouragement to not take yourself so seriously probably because I so easily fall into that trap. If you do too, find a comfortable space to listen to my conversation with Sarah and then give yourself space at the end to pray and contemplate what dreaming with this kind of freedom might look like on you!

A few of my favorite takeaways from this conversation:

  1. Her dad’s advice on the five things to consider in finding your purpose.
  1. The value of trying new things (even if they seem scary) primarily because God can use anything! For Sarah, it was a slug on her rug! 
  1. And why you need to stop second-guessing yourself or overthinking the next steps in your dream.

MORE ABOUT SARAH:

Sarah Maddack is a "wholesome rapper" with over a million followers on TikTok that she gained after she filmed herself rapping to a slug on her rug in April 2020. She's based in Nashville, Tennessee, where she spends her days making silly songs and videos to help the world stop taking itself so seriously. She has her own business she calls "Gift Rapping" where she creates personalized 30 second raps and videos for others for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because. Her dream is to one day have a hit as big as "What Does the Fox Say" or to become the female Weird Al Yankovic.
