Description
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!

Customer Reviews
I’ll never miss an episode.
This is the kind of podcast I’ve been looking for. Full of wisdom, meaningful questions, and heartwarming camaraderie. Grateful for Merritt’s transparency as she helps me take a closer look at taking initiative in life and work, following God, and pursuing my dreams — no matter where I'm at in life. It’s refreshing to know that the conversation and stories she and her guests share can mirror my own: the wins, the struggles, the unanswered questions, the momentum, the hope.
A breath of fresh air
I crave depth...most women do. This is the podcast that brings real women (finally!) together to discuss the pretty and not-so-pretty parts to living a life of purpose. I'm so excited to finally have found a podcast that brings on guests that encourage and inspire you to go after your God-sized dreams and not just talk about the surfacey and cliche things of society. Merritt brings on real and raw guests that are willing to be vulnerable and share everything about the ups and downs of life and give you encouragement and Scripture-based tools on how to navigate and go after your own dreams, no matter what season of life you're in!
Real Women Talking about Real Stuff
Making time for in-depth conversation isn’t easy but it’s so needed. This podcast opens the way because Merritt Onsa has a gentle way of pushing past surface talk to reveal the treasured stuff of heart and soul. By listening to Momentum, we can tune our hearts to this sort of conversation and practice it in our own friendships. I love the podcast tagline, “Pursuing What Matters Most”—it encourages me to pursue the hearts of others just as Merritt is doing here. Add this to your subscription list! You won’t regret it.
