The Devoted Dreamers Podcast
What if the dream in your heart was placed there by God for a reason?
Merritt Onsa, host of The Devoted Dreamers Podcast, helps Christian women in midlife find the courage to pursue their God-shaped dreams—even when fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome say they’re not ready.
Through real conversations with women living out their callings and short solo episodes full of biblical truth and encouragement, you’ll discover:
✨ How to move forward even when you feel unqualified
✨ The source of lies that keep dreamers stuck (and the truth that sets you free)
✨ Practical wisdom for taking the next brave step with God
This is your safe place to wrestle with questions about how to move forward, get clarity for your calling, and remember you don’t have to do it alone.
Together we're building a community of sisters in Christ who will remind you where your hope lies and encourage you to keep taking the next step.
If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start walking boldly with Jesus toward the life He’s calling you to, you’re in the right place.
