When God Leads You Into the Wilderness: Faith, Provision & Unexpected Prayers Answered

Have you ever felt like you’re in a wilderness season—lost, in between, unsure of who you’re becoming? In this deeply vulnerable episode, I open up about what it really looks like to walk by faith when the answers are unclear, the provision feels small, and the prayers are answered in unexpected ways. From leaving the New Age behind and stepping fully into my Christian faith… to surrendering control of my business… to sharing the private story of how God answered our prayers for another baby—you’re getting a behind-the-scenes moment most people don’t know. Whether you’re in a spiritual dry season, feeling stuck in your business, or praying for a breakthrough—this episode will remind you that God is faithful in the daily, not just the dramatic. What You’ll Hear: 🌵 What it means to be in a “wilderness season” (and how to know if you're in one) 🔙 Why I kept looking back at my past business success—and how God called me to stop 🍼 How a prophecy at church led to an answered prayer the very next day 🤰🏽 Why I’m sharing my 11-week pregnancy now—even after loss 🙌 What daily provision looks like when you’re living by faith 💡 Encouragement if your prayers are being answered differently than expected ✨ Scripture Highlight: “Don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” — Matthew 6:34 (NLT) 🔗 Let’s Connect: Ready to pivot your business with faith?

Hi, my love. In today’s raw and reflective episode, I invite you into a personal moment of revelation that came—of all places—in the shower. As a wife, mama, and business mentor, I often hold a lot. And sometimes, I just don’t want to deal with one more thing… especially bills! But this episode isn’t just about finances. It’s about the deeper truth many of us carry as women of faith: a longing to be rescued. Whether you were raised Christian, Catholic, atheist, or something else, I believe this desire points to something profound—the reality that we were made to be saved… and already have been. You’ll hear me unpack: - What money dates and mental exhaustion revealed about my old “rescuer” patterns - Why I used to subconsciously wait for a man to save me - How New Age archetypes like "maiden vs. queen" left me searching for answers - The truth of our built-in longing for The Savior, not just a savior - How to release guilt, shame, or avoidance and step into honest conversation with Jesus - The empowering reminder that you are already loved, chosen, and saved This is for the woman who's tired of holding it all… and ready to surrender to the One who already did it all. 🎧 Listen in if you're ready to stop searching for a rescuer—and start living like you’ve already been rescued.     Resources & Links: 📩 Email Petia: [email protected] 📱 DM on Instagram: @petiakolibova     If this episode blessed you: Share it with a friend who needs encouragement Leave a written review so other faith-led women can find this show Subscribe so you never miss a moment of impact

Welcome back, my love, to Made for Impact. In today’s raw and real solo episode, I’m opening up about something I’ve been sitting with lately—what I call “the sticky middle.” It’s that in-between season where you’re no longer who you used to be, but not quite yet where you’re going… or who God is calling you to become. Whether you're pivoting in your business, stepping deeper into motherhood, or redefining your identity through faith, this episode is for you. I’m sharing: ✨ What it feels like to leave behind an old identity (even one that was successful) ✨ The personal wrestle between hustle and Holy Spirit–led surrender ✨ Why I’m following new nudges, including a surprise announcement about a natural fertility certification ✨ How to keep moving forward even when you don’t have the full picture ✨ Why God works with movement, not perfection This isn’t about the highlight reel. It’s about the sacred process—the pause, the pivot, the pruning. So if you're in the sticky middle too—unsure, slow, messy, but still showing up—this one’s for you. I pray it encourages you to keep walking, one faithful step at a time.

In this raw and heartfelt episode, Petia Kolibova Burns opens up about a powerful spiritual shift that happened at church. She reflects on the difference between conditional faith—faith that says 'only if'—and the deeper, unshakable faith that says 'even if.' Petia shares stories from her life and from others who have experienced loss, disappointment, and unfulfilled desires, yet chose to trust God’s plan anyway. If you’ve ever found yourself asking God for proof before you believe, this episode is a powerful invitation to surrender your expectations and walk boldly in faith, no matter the outcome.     In this episode we'll learn: True faith is not based on conditions—it’s built on trust even when outcomes don’t align with our desires. New Age manifestation often focuses on self, while biblical faith surrenders control to God. We often say 'only if' when approaching God—Petia encourages replacing that with 'even if'. Our trust in God should not depend on our circumstances or what we receive. Powerful testimony of a husband who lost his wife but continued to walk faithfully in God’s promises.   Ask yourself these questions: What are you putting in front of God right now? Where in your life are you saying ‘only if’ instead of ‘even if’? What would it look like to trust God without needing a sign or a condition? Can you write down your list of 'only ifs' and place God in front of them today?   You are made for impact. Your voice, your testimony, and your faith journey are powerful. Keep sharing, keep believing, and keep showing up even if things don’t go your way. God sees your heart, and He honors your trust.
