Even If Faith – Trusting God’s Plan When Life Doesn’t Go Your Way

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.

From Isolation to Connection – The Power of Christian Community

In this powerful episode, Petia shares the deeply personal story of attending a Christian retreat for married couples that reshaped her understanding of connection, community, and faith. For years, she believed she didn’t need anyone. Isolation felt safer. But through a transformative weekend of prayer, worship, vulnerability, and shared purpose, Petia experienced the healing that only comes from stepping into God-designed community. This episode is an invitation for anyone who’s felt alone, unseen, or skeptical of church to rediscover the beauty of doing life together.

 

Today we talked about:

• We were never meant to walk alone—God designed us for community.
• Isolation often masks unhealed wounds and old beliefs that keep us stuck.
• Christian retreats and spiritual communities can offer deep healing and connection.
• Transformation happens when we are vulnerable and open our hearts to others.
• Faith isn’t just personal—it’s communal, and God moves powerfully in groups gathered in His name.

 

Reflection Questions:

• Have you ever convinced yourself you were fine alone? What was that protecting you from?
• What would it look like to allow others into your faith journey?
• Where in your life is God inviting you to step into community instead of isolation?
• How can you create or join a space where vulnerability, prayer, and faith can thrive?

 

 

You don’t have to do it all on your own. God has placed people in your path to walk with you, uplift you, and help you grow. Whether through church, retreats, or Spirit-led friendships, community is a gift—and one you deserve.
