Made for Impact

Have you ever felt that quiet stirring inside — the kind that whispers, “Something is shifting… something is changing… something is coming?” Not in an anxious way, but in a holy, gentle, almost mysterious way.   Maybe nothing in your life looks different on the outside. But inside… you feel the nudge. The restlessness. The sense that God is preparing you for something new — even if you can’t articulate it yet.   In this episode, Petia shares a deeply personal story of sensing God’s shift in a quiet moment after putting her daughter to sleep — and the surprising peace mixed with restlessness that followed. If you've ever felt like your comfort is shrinking, doors are closing, or desires are changing, this episode will bring clarity, comfort, and biblical grounding.   Inside this episode, we explore: Holy discomfort and why God often removes comfort we’ve outgrown How closed doors are divine protection and redirection Why new desires often signal the Holy Spirit’s guidance The purpose behind delays, pauses, and “waiting seasons” Why shifting relationships can be evidence of a new calling The role of surrender in stepping into your next season How God’s peace can guide you even in the unknown   Scriptures referenced:  Ecclesiastes 3:1  1 Kings 17  Revelation 3:7  Philippians 2:13  Isaiah 26:3    You’ll walk away feeling seen, encouraged, and reminded that you are not lost — you are being led.     Send Petia a DM on Instagram @petiakolibova and share which of the seven signs you are experiencing.  Join the free Deeply Devoted Bible Study group to walk in community with other faith-led women.  

In this episode, Petia explores why believers sometimes don’t feel God emotionally and why this does NOT mean God is distant. She shares encouragement, Scripture, and seven biblical ways we often sense God that have nothing to do with feelings.   Key Points: Feelings are not the measure of God’s presence. Exhaustion and motherhood deeply affect emotional sensitivity. God’s presence is constant even when our awareness is low. Silence is often God deepening spiritual maturity. Practical steps to reconnect with God gently.   7 Ways We Sense God (Even Without Feelings): A verse becomes alive. Peace that doesn’t make sense. Strength you didn’t have before. Desire to pray, even weakly. Gentle conviction or redirection. Moments of comfort — music, words, quiet. Perseverance that comes from the Holy Spirit.   Scriptures Included: Psalm 42:5 James 4:8   Call to Action: Share this episode with a friend.

Have you ever felt the deep desire to serve God, but had no idea where to begin? Maybe you’ve prayed, “Lord, I want to follow You… but I don’t know my calling,” and felt unsure, unqualified, or unclear about your next steps.   In this heartfelt episode, Petia opens up about her early walk with Jesus — a time of longing to honor God while feeling uncertain about what He was asking her to do. Through her story, you’ll discover that calling isn’t something you chase. It’s something God reveals gradually, gently, and faithfully as you walk with Him.   Inside this episode, we explore: Why your God-given design gives clues to your calling How calling is *seasonal* and shifts as your life shifts The power of stewarding what God has already placed in your hands Why small, imperfect steps of obedience create clarity How God confirms your calling through peace, Scripture, and aligned opportunities   This episode is designed to bring you peace, clarity, and the reassurance that you cannot “miss” your calling — because God is the one who shapes it and reveals it.   Scriptures referenced:  Psalm 139  Luke 16:10  1 Corinthians 14:33    CTA:  Send Petia a DM @petiakolibova and share what calling God is stirring in you.  Join the Deeply Devoted Bible Study group for community, accountability, and spiritual growth.

In this new episode, I dive into the life-altering truth of Jesus’s victory over Satan through His sacrifice on the cross—and what that truly means for you and me today.     This is more than theology. This is about freedom, redemption, spiritual authority, and living from victory instead of fear. Together, we explore why Jesus’s death was not just symbolic—it was necessary. Through Scriptures like Romans 6:23, Isaiah 53:6, Colossians 2:15, and Revelation 1:18, I walk you through how the cross dismantled the power of sin, stripped Satan of his authority, and restored our direct relationship with God.     So many believers still live under condemnation, guilt, and fear… even though Jesus already paid the full price. In this episode, I lovingly remind you that you were never meant to live bound—you were meant to live free, redeemed, and confident in Christ’s victory.     If you’ve ever wondered: Why did Jesus have to die? What really happened in the spiritual realm on the cross? Does Satan still have power today? What does this mean for my everyday struggles?     This episode will strengthen your faith, ground you in biblical truth, and awaken your identity as a woman who walks in divine authority.     This is not just a teaching. This is a remembrance of who you are because of what He did.   💡 Key Takeaways Jesus’s sacrifice fulfilled the penalty of sin once and for all. Satan’s power of accusation and fear was stripped at the cross. Salvation is a gift of grace, not something we earn. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ. The resurrection sealed the ultimate spiritual victory. You are called to live from victory—not striving for it.   🙏 Action Steps Read Romans 6, Isaiah 53, Colossians 2, and Revelation 1 this week. Journal what it means for you personally that Jesus already won. Identify one area where you’ve been living in fear instead of faith. Declare freedom aloud over your life through Scripture. Pray in gratitude for the gift of salvation and redemption.   **Call to Action** If this episode brought clarity for you, you’re invited to join my **free online Bible study, Deeply Devoted** — a safe, Scripture-rooted community of women growing in truth, discernment, and intimacy with Jesus.  Click here to join us: **https://bit.ly/DeeplyDevotedBIBLEstudy**  Come study with us, ask questions, and build deep Christ-centered friendships!

Beautiful soul, I am so excited to be back with you after a short but deeply transformative pause. In this powerful, I’m inviting you into an intimate conversation about something I once resisted… and now fully embrace: the divine dance between masculine and feminine energy within the Bible — and what it means for us as modern women walking in faith.     For years, I equated the Bible with pure masculine structure, discipline, and devotion. As someone who naturally leads with softness, intuition, and emotional depth, I struggled to see myself in it. But God… oh, He is so tender, patient, and intentional. Through His Word, He showed me the breathtaking strength of feminine faith — and the necessity of both energies working together in harmony.     In this episode, I share: ✨ My personal journey from new age practices into an unshakable relationship with God and Jesus ✨ How the Bible beautifully honors women — from Mary to Mary Magdalene, and beyond ✨ Why feminine spirituality is not only biblical, but essential ✨ How my resistance turned into revelation (and how yours can too) ✨ What balancing masculine and feminine looks like in real, everyday faith ✨ An open invitation to join me weekly as we study Scripture and grow deeper together in community     If you’ve ever felt torn between intuition and structure… softness and strength… divine feminine and biblical truth… this episode will feel like a homecoming.      This conversation is your reminder that you were created with intention, with purpose, and with a sacred balance only God could design. And as you root yourself in Him, your impact can’t help but grow.     Press play to reignite your faith, reconnect with your divine identity, and step boldly into the woman God handcrafted you to be.     Screenshot this episode, share it on your stories, and tag me @petiakolibova. 

In today’s episode, Petia Kolibova Burns shares a powerful teaching from her weekly Deeply Devoted Bible study.  If you’ve ever heard the phrase “ask and it is given” used in New Age spirituality or manifestation, this episode brings clarity, freedom, and biblical truth.   Petia explains the difference between the New Age definition—which centers on self, the universe, and personal attraction—and what Jesus actually meant when He taught about asking, seeking, and knocking.   You’ll learn why Jesus’ teaching is safer, deeper, and rooted in the Father’s goodness… not in self-reliance.  This short episode will help you shift your prayer life from striving to surrender, from manifesting to abiding.   ---   **Key Points Covered:**  - Why “ask and it is given” has been misused in manifestation culture  - Jesus’ original meaning in Matthew 7:7–11  - How abiding in Jesus transforms your desires (John 15:7)  - Why some prayers aren’t answered the way we expect  - How God protects us through His “no,” “wait,” or redirection  - A powerful prayer to help you stay aligned with God’s will    ---   **Scriptures Mentioned:**  - Matthew 7:7–11  - John 15:7  - James 4:3    ---   **Join the Deeply Devoted Bible Study:**  If you want a community of women who love God and want to grow in the Word together, DM Petia on Instagram: **@petiakolibova**   ---     Screenshot this episode, share it on your stories, and tag me @petiakolibova.  Let me know: what part of this message spoke to you most today?

It’s not just about holiness—it’s about intimacy, identity, and walking daily with the presence of God within you. Learn how to live from a place of reverence and empowerment, not striving and performance.     Key Takeaways God’s presence no longer dwells in buildings—it lives in you (1 Corinthians 6:19–20 NLT).

In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode, I open up about one of life’s most difficult questions: Why do bad things happen to good people? As I record this, I’m navigating my own moment of vulnerability—battling a cough and mild fever while reflecting on what it means to stay faithful when life doesn’t feel fair.     Through a tender conversation with my visiting mom, I explore the tension between human suffering and divine love, and how faith can sustain us even when the answers aren’t clear. So often, we fall into the trap of believing that illness or hardship is a form of punishment from God—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I share how I’ve learned to see these moments not as evidence of God’s absence, but as reminders of His presence.     We live in a broken world, yes—but God’s love never breaks.If you’ve ever questioned why pain touches those who do good, or felt disappointed by unanswered prayers, this episode will remind you of one powerful truth: you never walk alone. Even in hardship, grace is moving, healing is unfolding, and love is holding you.       💡 Key Takeaways God does not send illness as punishment; we live in a broken world, but not without His love.   Faith isn’t the absence of struggle—it’s the presence of divine strength through it.   Hardship does not define your worth or your spiritual standing.   Vulnerability and faith can coexist beautifully.   We never walk alone—God’s presence is constant, even in pain.       🙏 Action Steps Reflect on a recent hardship and ask: “Where did I feel God’s presence, even subtly?”   Read Psalm 34:18 and meditate on how God draws near to the brokenhearted.   Offer yourself grace when you feel weary; healing takes both time and faith.   Reach out to someone going through a challenge and remind them they’re not alone.   Pray for renewed strength and perspective to see God’s love in your current season.     💌 **Connect with Petia:**  Follow [@madeforimpact_podcast](https://www.instagram.com/madeforimpact_podcast) on Instagram and share your biggest takeaway from today’s episode.  Visit [www.petiakolibova.com](https://www.petiakolibova.com) for coaching, resources, and encouragement.
