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 we learn to surrender our dreams and trust God for the outcome?

As dreamers, it’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting our dreams to go our way. We have an idea of what it might look like. We’ve grown cautiously excited about the possibilities. We talk about surrendering the dream and its outcome to God. During our quiet time, we even tell Him that we trust Him. 

And then, when we start to take action, something shifts.

There’s a challenge we didn’t anticipate, or an opportunity we’re terrified to say ‘yes’ to, or a mentor suggesting a next step we couldn’t possibly take. All of a sudden, we realize how tightly we’ve been holding on to something that’s not even really ours to grip.  

In this week’s solo episode, we explore:

  • the pitfalls of holding tightly to a specific vision for your dream,
  • how to start listening for God’s voice and guidance on the journey, and
  • embracing surrender by letting go of control and trusting God's plan.

If you're ready to step boldly into God's path for your dream, hit play and join me on this empowering journey.
