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!

Could you benefit from planning out your week on Sunday nights?

This habit will not only help you stay on top of those one-off commitments you might otherwise forget, but it also illuminates where you have pockets of time that could be used more effectively for pursuing your God-shaped dream.

I started weekly planning (off-and-on) about two years ago. I usually get really excited about it at the beginning of the year and lose track when summer rolls around.

But I’ve noticed that when I consistently do my weekly planning, I am less likely to be in a panic about needing to be somewhere all of a sudden (even though I made the appointment just last week), or feel unprepared for a call that’s about to happen, or wish I’d washed my hair that morning so I’d be “camera ready” for an afternoon Zoom meeting.

Simply making an appointment with myself to plan once a week often means the days that follow go more smoothly.

For the entire month of January, I’ll be talking on the podcast about the habits you might consider (and tips for making them easier) as part of my series on building habits that will strengthen you and support your dream.

Each mini episode will focus on a particular habit you might consider and/or a tip/hack to help you implement a new habit. These will be short and sweet (5-10 minutes each) and are meant to get you thinking about what you can do right now to nurture your dream by building positive habits into your life.

Weekly planning has so many benefits, and in this episode, you’ll learn:

  • A few tell-tale signs that you could benefit from weekly planning,
  • Why to start weekly planning now, even if you’re not currently engaged in pursuing a dream, and
  • The surprising rhythms you might discover just by starting a habit of planning out your week in advance.
