God, You Did It Before—You Can Do It Again: How Scripture Anchors Us in New Seasons

In this episode of Made for Impact, Petia shares a heartfelt message inspired by a recent Deeply Devoted Bible Study—created for women who desire more than a checklist faith and long for a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.

Petia reflects on how many women read the Bible out of obligation rather than desire, and why true transformation happens when we approach Scripture as a way to walk with God, not just learn about Him. This episode invites you to pause and ask yourself: What season am I praying God to move me into?

You’ll hear a powerful testimony from Melanie Cox, a sister in Christ whose life is a living reminder that God is still a God of miracles. After being told by doctors she would never have children, Melanie prayed with bold faith—standing on the truth that if God did it for Mary, Elizabeth, and Hannah, He could do it for her too. Today, she is the mother of five.

This episode will encourage you to stop striving for clarity and instead stand on Scripture, trusting that if God has done it before, He can—and will—do it again.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

• Why Bible reading shouldn’t feel like a spiritual checklist
• How to discern when God is shifting you into a new season
• The power of grounding your prayers in Scripture
• How to pray boldly by remembering what God has already done
• Why testimonies strengthen faith—yours and others
• A simple, practical way to personalize Scripture in your prayer life

Scripture Highlight

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you.” — James 4:8 (NLT)

Simple Action Step

Write down the season you’re praying God to move you into.
Then find Scripture where God has already done something similar.

Pray it boldly and personally:
“God, You did it for Esther. You can do it for me.”

Is God Moving You Into a New Season? 7 Biblical Signs You’re Being Redirected

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.

When You Don’t Feel God: Why Silence Doesn’t Mean Separation

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):

1. A verse becomes alive.
2. Peace that doesn’t make sense.
3. Strength you didn’t have before.
4. Desire to pray, even weakly.
5. Gentle conviction or redirection.
6. Moments of comfort — music, words, quiet.
7. Perseverance that comes from the Holy Spirit.

 

Scriptures Included:

• Psalm 42:5
• James 4:8

When You Want to Follow God But Don’t Know Your Calling: 5 Clarity Steps for Christian Women

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

The Cross, the Victory & the Defeat of Darkness

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.

Why Jesus Was the Ultimate Advocate for Women

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.

What Jesus Really Meant by “Ask and It Is Given” (Not Manifestation!)

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.

New Age ‘Light’ vs. God’s Light: How to Know the Difference

In this powerful episode, Petia shares how Jesus opened her eyes after years in the New Age movement. Through Luke 11:33–36, she unpacks what true light really means, how to guard your heart from deception, and how to let God fill every dark corner of your soul with His truth.
