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!

What if the decision you’ve been putting off could actually open up possibilities for your life and your dream that you haven’t even considered? 

Carol Willis launches into this conversation with a reminder of the changing nature of our dreams over time and life transitions. There’s a palpable tension between taking tangible steps towards a dream and the reality that our dreams will always be a work in progress. 

Following the death of her husband several years ago, it seemed prudent for Carol to maintain the security of full-time employment (and the benefits to go with it) rather than stepping out on her own to pursue a dream career.

However, Carol has found her way to that dream and she’s here today to share a few strands of the story about discovering purpose through a self-directed career that feels energizing and is drawing her toward wholeness in who God created her to be.

In this episode with Carol Willis, you’ll learn about:  

·         How a simple (even unspoken) prayer in faith can transform your circumstances,

·         Why we can let go of the idea of ever arriving at the finish line,

·         Holding tension between the demands of young children in one season of motherhood and the gift of time you’ll receive once you release them into the world.
