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!

Which of these confidence myths are keeping you from stepping into your God-shaped dream?

  • “I have to know what I’m doing before I start pursuing a dream.”
  • “I need to FEEL confident before I start pursuing a dream.”
  • “I need to BE really good at {fill in the blank} before I can even think about starting to pursue my dream.”

Each one of these may seem true on the surface. They definitely feel that way in the eyes of the world and our culture. But what does God’s Word say about your abilities? It says they are given by God.

What does God’s Word say about your desire for everything to be perfect? It says that won’t happen until heaven.  

What does it say about leaning on your own understanding? It says don’t do it!

Reminded of all that, how can this be the year when you finally say no to these methods of self-sabotage?

Your dream is given to you by God for your good and for the good of His kingdom. Can you believe that you’ve actually been invited to be part of God’s redemptive work in the world? It’s mind-blowing! And you may choose to participate, or you may choose not to. That part is up to you.

But I urge you: You definitely want to say yes if God has put a dream on your heart. And if you believe that along with me, then you’ve gotta figure out the mindset stuff that’s keeping you stuck and afraid to move forward.

There’s too much at stake here!

If even 1% of you wonders whether hiring a coach could help you make some real progress, let's have a conversation. You can reach me via the Book a Call link on my website. We'll have a 30-minute conversation to talk about what you need, what coaching with me looks like, and how I can help you take the next step.

I’m confident there’s hope for you on the other side of fear, perfectionism, and feeling stalled out.

Let’s do it!!
