Made for Impact

In this episode, Petia Kolibova Burns explores what it truly means to “do life together” as described in Acts 2:42–47. The early believers shared meals, prayed, and supported one another daily — creating a powerful, Spirit-filled community that changed the world. Discover how this same kind of authentic connection can transform your walk with God, your relationships, and your impact today.

In this episode, Petia Kolibova Burns explores the often-overlooked verse Mark 11:11, where Jesus enters the Temple, observes everything carefully, and leaves. This quiet moment holds a profound message about patience, discernment, and trusting God’s timing. Discover why sometimes the most impactful action you can take is to pause, pray, and align with His will before moving forward.

In this thought-provoking episode, Petia brings listeners straight into her morning Bible study on Matthew 8:28–34—the story where Jesus casts demons into a herd of pigs. She explores why the demons begged for a physical host, why the townspeople reacted with fear instead of celebration, and what this moment reveals about the cost of true freedom. Through her own journey of surrender—releasing old business models and comfort zones—Petia shows how God’s power often disrupts before it restores. If God has been shaking something familiar in your life, this episode will remind you that disruption can be divine protection.

Matthew 8:28–34 — The story of Jesus casting demons into pigs and freeing two men from possession.

“Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.”

Petia shares how reading this passage mirrored her own transformation. When she chose to walk with Jesus, God dismantled the old business she had built on worldly principles and invited her to rebuild on faith. She reminds listeners that when God removes what feels safe, it’s not rejection—it’s realignment.

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your power to set us free, even when it shakes the ground beneath us. Help us to trust You more than our comfort. Reveal the areas where we’ve asked You to leave instead of inviting You to lead. Give us courage to welcome Your transformation, even when it costs us something. In Your mighty name, Jesus, amen.

In this episode, Petia invites you into a deeply honest and vulnerable conversation about purpose, calling, and the way God gently unfolds what we’re meant to do. If you’ve been wrestling with the question “What’s my purpose?” — this one is for you. It’s not about hustle, performance or having all the answers. It’s about resting in what God is already doing, recognising what He’s placed in your path, and trusting that He has written the story long before you arrived. Petia shares her own journey—shifting from business coaching to leaning into motherhood, the “aha” moments she’s been given, and how what once felt too simple is exactly the gift to step into.

“Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.” — James 4:8

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” — Matthew 7:7

In a culture of doing, performance and comparison, this conversation offers a breath of fresh faith: God doesn’t need our striving. He needs our surrender. He already knows the before, the now and the later. When we partner with Him instead of trying to manufacture everything ourselves, our path becomes clearer—even if the full picture hasn’t yet been revealed.

Petia was reflecting one morning after her Bible reading and realised: “My coaching background has given me business strategy—but it never felt right for my soul. Now that I’m pregnant and walking through motherhood again, I see what lights me up: helping other women who are walking into motherhood, non‑toxic living, holistic nutrition, podcasting…” She shares how she discovered a “common thread” among her clients: pregnant women, women planning for pregnancy, women wanting to live holistically as mamas. And how that thread felt like God saying: ‘Here. This is it.’ She also recounts how at a local church conference she connected with a company helping women with unplanned pregnancies—a clear sign that her path, calling and gifting are aligning.

In this heartfelt episode of *Made for Impact*, Petia Kolibova explores one of the most difficult yet powerful truths of faith — that sometimes God’s greatest blessings come through His ‘no.’ When prayers go unanswered and doors close, it can feel like rejection. But often, it’s divine protection and preparation for something better.

In today’s episode of Made for Impact, Petia Kolibova Burns shares a heartfelt message for every woman learning to quiet the noise of the world and tune into the steady voice of God.

In this episode of Made for Impact, Petia Kolibova dives into one of the most common questions believers face: How can I tell if it’s God speaking—or just my own thoughts?

In this new episode, I invite you to journey with me through one of the most freeing lessons I’ve learned—releasing control and trusting God completely.

As women of purpose, we often try to hold everything together—our goals, our families, our dreams—believing that if we just do more, push harder, or plan better, we’ll finally find peace. But the truth is, real peace comes when we let go and let God lead.

In this episode, I share how surrendering my need for perfection and control opened the door to deeper faith, self-love, and divine guidance. When I shifted from chasing achievements to aligning with God’s will, I began to experience a calm confidence that no worldly success could give.

Through personal stories and biblical reflections, I encourage you to stop striving and start surrendering—to allow God to direct your path, even when the outcome isn’t clear. This isn’t about giving up—it’s about gaining alignment, impact, and peace.

💡 Key Takeaways

🙏 Action Steps

In this heartfelt episode of Made for Impact, I open up about one of the most transformative chapters of my journey—healing my relationship with my mother and deepening my faith through the teachings of the Bible.

For years, I searched for peace and wholeness through new-age healing practices, crystals, and energy work. While those tools brought moments of relief, I found true, lasting transformation when I turned to God’s Word. Through Scripture, I began to see myself—and my loved ones—with new eyes, filled with compassion, patience, and grace.

As a daughter, a mother, and a believer still growing in faith, I share how the Bible has become my daily anchor. Whether it’s in moments of frustration with my little girl or in conversations that once felt heavy with my mom, God’s Word has softened my heart and reminded me what love truly looks like.

If you’ve ever wrestled with family wounds, questioned your faith, or sought peace through healing practices that left you still longing for more—this episode will meet you where you are. It’s an invitation to rediscover relationship healing, personal growth, and holistic parenting through the gentle yet powerful guidance of God’s truth.

💡 Key Takeaways

True healing begins when we invite God into our relationships.

Daily Bible teachings can transform how we love, parent, and forgive.

Resistance often precedes revelation—trust the process.

Holistic growth includes emotional, spiritual, and relational healing.

Faith isn’t about perfection; it’s about allowing grace to lead.

🙏 Action Steps

Dedicate 10 minutes each day this week to reading Scripture about love and forgiveness.

Write a letter (you don’t have to send it) to someone you’re ready to forgive.

Reflect on where God is inviting you to replace control with compassion.

Practice one act of kindness toward a family member who challenges you.

Pray for patience and peace in your parenting or family relationships.

In this powerful episode, I open my heart about what it truly means to step out of your comfort zone and trust God’s calling on your life.

It all started with a moment at the gym—one that reminded me how easily we can get attached to comfort, even when our soul is craving growth. Just like a baby eagle learning to fly, we are sometimes pushed by God into discomfort so we can discover the strength and purpose He’s placed within us.

I share how following Jesus doesn’t necessarily make life easier—but it makes it richer, fuller, and more meaningful. When you say “yes” to God’s plan, you might face challenges, resistance, or even fear—but through it all, He’s shaping you for something greater.

This episode is for the woman who’s been praying for clarity, who’s afraid to take the next step, or who’s tired of waiting for a detailed roadmap. I want to remind you: you don’t need to see the full plan to trust the path. Faith grows in the spaces where certainty ends.

💡 Key Takeaways

Growth begins where comfort ends.

Following Jesus brings meaning, not ease—and that’s a beautiful thing.

Discomfort is divine preparation for purpose.

Like the Israelites leaving Egypt, God calls us to trust even without knowing what’s next.

Faith isn’t built through clarity—it’s built through surrender.

🙏 Action Steps

Identify one area of your life where you’ve been holding on to comfort. Ask God to help you release it.

Write down a recent moment when discomfort led to unexpected growth.

Reflect on a Bible story where faith triumphed over fear—what can you learn from it?

Take one brave step this week toward the thing God’s been calling you to do.

Pray daily for the courage to trust without seeing the full plan.
