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!

Here’s a quick follow-up conversation for you with Erin Straza (who was a guest back in episode 1 of the podcast). In this mini-episode, Erin talks about her newly released book, Comfort Detox: Finding Freedom from the Habits that Bind You. I invited her back to chat with us about how life is different now and what she’s learned from becoming a published author.

I love Erin’s honesty about hitting an emotional wall just a few months before the big launch and what it feels like to put your words out into the world when you can no longer edit them. She shares how she was changed by the process of writing and publishing Comfort Detox and what she learned about her own comfort-seeking behavior. She says her fears and doubts still linger; they just look a little different now than they did when she first came on the show.

I’m right in the middle of reading Comfort Detox, and if you’re looking for freedom from habits that bind you to comfort-seeking instead of bold and courageous living, this one will be a great read for you. You can grab it over on Amazon, here (affiliate link).
