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!

What I Wish I’d Known About Purpose Before Turning 40

Ep 330 show notes are here: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/330

Are you living out the purpose God intended for you? 

Maybe you’ve spent years searching for clarity, trying to find your unique purpose as a Christian, and it seems like the answers are just out of reach. What if the key was there all along, hidden in plain sight?

Purpose can feel elusive—especially if you’re multi-passionate and have difficulty choosing just one thing to pursue.

However, I’ve learned some key lessons in the search for purpose that I wish I had understood earlier in life. I’m sharing them with you today to shorten the window of time it takes for uncovering your purpose. 

This episode is a reminder that purpose isn’t something we manufacture—it’s a gift from God. No matter your age or stage, His plans have been woven into your story from the start. Your role is to look for the clues that reveal what He’s had for you all along.

In this episode you’ll learn:

🔥 The types of life events that shape your purpose,
🚧 The five obstacles that can hinder the realization of your purpose, and
👣 Actionable steps you can take as you navigate the discovery of your God-shaped dream.

Let this conversation be a reminder that God's timing is perfect and your purpose is already unfolding in ways you may not yet see.
