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.
