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.

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!

Have you ever considered that there’s someone waiting for your dream to come alive?  

Several years ago, Yohonna Smith began to feel a “divine burden.” She sensed there was something new God was prompting her to do with her time and her desire to nurture friendships among women. Her kids were getting older. She had more time to dream. But what was it? 

She started by testing out ideas in her head, trying them on for size like a new hat. Although she was listening to a lot of podcasts, starting her own was not on her radar. 

In fact, she felt a lot of resistance and internal pushback when the idea first popped into her head. But there was a tipping point where she finally said yes to this new possibility that felt outside her comfort zone.   

In this episode you’ll learn: 

  • How Yohonna’s dream started from her own personal desires for more girl-time in her life
  • About the fears that held her back from beginning, and
  • A powerful lesson of shifting from taking in information to becoming a contributor and spiritual mother to others. 

Yohonna is so easy to listen to – you are going to love her soothing voice – but even more, I pray that her story of surrender, obedience, and paying attention to God as He was nudging her into something more will be a sweet encouragement to you today!
