263 || [Solo] What Can You Accomplish for Your Dream in Just Two Hours a Week? || Merritt Onsa
03/15/23 • 33 min
If your time is limited, how can you make meaningful progress on your dream?
It’s the age-old question: How do I find more time to do the things I want to do?
I won’t give the pat answer, but I am going to help you see what’s possible if you could find two hours a week to devote to your God-shaped dream.
It’s not easy, but it is do-able.
Yes, even for you. 😊
Time probably feels like a huge limitation to pursuing your dream because you’re already committed in a lot of different places beyond your home and family. Maybe you’re also serving in your community, at your kids’ school, or at church. Maybe you work part-time or even full-time.
Whatever you have on your plate, I bet you are serving, giving, caring for others in so many ways that your life feels so full that there is little to no time when you could imagine really “going for it” with your dream.
That’s why I address in this episode:
- The reasons time feels like such an enormous barrier,
- What Scripture says about our time and how we spend it, and
- How you can find little windows of time so you can say, “yes” to the dream God has given you.
I even attempt a ridiculous metaphor, just to see if it helps you remember the steps you can take to get there. You’ll have to let me know how that works out for you.
I know there are some real-life challenges you are facing right now. Some of those feel like roadblocks piled high in opposition to your dream. But they won’t always be the way they are right now, and I want you to have some creative ideas for taking the next steps when that time comes.
That's what I want you to walk away with after this episode!

What’s the secret to finally feeling ready to start pursuing a dream?
It is a humbling experience to be trusted with a God-shaped dream. It can feel overwhelming if you think too hard about what it means to be called by the King of the universe into something bigger than yourself.
Not to mention, there is no instruction manual (though I may have Google’d at least once to try to find one!), which means you’re often on your own to map it out and stumble your way through the fog that sets in once you start along this journey.
The alternative is to try and figure out how to begin by watching others who are doing similar things, which is fine until it isn’t. It can be incredibly overwhelming to compare your twinkle of a dream to someone else’s perfectly Instagramed manifestation of their dream seven years down the road from where you are now. It’s a no-win situation, and it doesn’t serve you or your dream.
That’s why this episode will help you:
- identify some of the barriers to feeling ready,
- show you where those barriers come from, and
- then, once you see the source, I’ll show you how to make a plan to address them so you can get on with your dream.

264 || [Solo] 3 Truths to Help You Make Decisions about Your Dream || Merritt Onsa
Do you keep trying to make a decision about some aspect of your dream but just can't seem to choose?
Maybe the end goal feels too far out of reach so it’s difficult to define what your dream could look like right now. Or there are so many directions you could go to get started that all those possibilities are paralyzing.
It’s like going to the grocery store without a shopping list. When you can choose anything, it’s more difficult to decide on one thing. Having all the options available to you isn’t necessarily better than just having a few. If you could just narrow it down, you’ll put yourself in a better position to make decisions more quickly and get on with implementing them.
If only.
If decision-making stirs up fear and worries like “What if I make the wrong choice?” or “How can I know I’m walking in God’s plan for my life?” this episode will help you see your tendency to avoid making decisions. And it will help you see the three gifts that are available to you that will help you look at decision-making in a new way.
In this episode you will learn:
- The connection between a secure identity and your ability to make decisions,
- About the lie of indecision and how it’s keeping you stuck, and
- How to start asking better questions to narrow down the options you are considering.
Give it a listen, then sign up for my free workshop on March 24th to help you Get Out of Your Head & Find Momentum for Your Dream.
