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!

Julie Landreth has a passion for healthy and thriving relationships–especially marriages. She is a speaker and wife coach who loves sharing with women her passion for prayer and how to cultivate a thriving marriage. She leads a growing number of women in San Jose, CA through her weekly WifeLab curriculum: Loving Well, The Art of Praying for Your Husband. This year Julie and her husband will celebrate 13 years of cultivating a marriage filled with intentional love. Their secret? A date night every Friday since her now 10-year-old son was 7 months old. In addition to speaking, writing, and teaching, Julie is also a freelance photographer and designer.

In our conversation, Julie shares about the whirlwind romance she and her now-husband had while they were dating—mostly long-distance—and then the disappointment that sunk in shortly into their marriage. She talks about how her dream—to start a revolution of marriages that last—began in her little corner of the world. Now she’s moving ahead, one step at a time, listening to what God has laid on her heart and walking forward, even when she feels resistant to doing so.

Like a lot of my guests, Julie mentions the inner chatter – those thoughts that tell her she’s not enough and cause her to question her dream. And then she shares how she’s fought back against it.

Finally, there’s a TON of good stuff in our conversation about how Julie has prayed for her husband, encouraged other women to do the same for theirs, and how little changes in her own thoughts, behavior and reactions have made all the difference in strengthening their marriage. So, if your marriage is anything but a 10, I think you’ll hear some helpful things from Julie today.

You’ll find the show notes, an amazing list of resources (more than we had time to discuss), and contact information for Julie as well as details about her upcoming events in San Jose, CA, here: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/40
