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!

How can your small and seemingly insignificant first steps really make any difference?

Brittany Ann began her writing and speaking career in the smallest of ways utilizing the resources and tools she already had—a little bit of time while her baby slept and a computer. It wasn’t much, but she used what she had (instead of focusing on what she lacked) to start writing. 

At first, she wrote articles she was sure nobody cared to read. But with each step she took and each article she wrote, despite not being able to see the end result of her dream, she made progress in the direction she wanted to go.

Doing so required a growing trust in God for what she could not see and a belief that her limited resources, lack of experience, and difficult financial circumstances did not disqualify her from the dream.

Today she’s a bestselling author and founder of a popular Christian-living website for busy moms.

In this episode with Brittany Ann, you’ll learn:  

  • What can be gained by getting in the practice of trusting God without a safety net,
  • To dispute the belief that you’re the only one who doesn’t have it all figured out, and
  • What baking cookies with small children teaches us about God’s love.

To the woman who doesn’t feel ready to start Brittany Ann would encourage you to just start with what you already have. Don’t wait to have it all figured out. When you step into a God-shaped dream, the Lord will open the doors you need to have opened along the way.

Even if you can’t see the whole path, learning to trust Him will grow your faith and show you His heart.
