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   Call to Action: * Share this episode with a friend. * Connect with Petia on Instagram @petiakolibova   Thank you for listening — remember, silence is not separation, and God is closer than your breath.

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    CTA:  Send Petia a DM @petiakolibova and share what calling God is stirring in you.  Join the Deeply Devoted Bible Study group for community, accountability, and spiritual growth.

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. * You are called to live from victory—not striving for it.   🙏 Action Steps * Read Romans 6, Isaiah 53, Colossians 2, and Revelation 1 this week. * Journal what it means for you personally that Jesus already won. * Identify one area where you’ve been living in fear instead of faith. * Declare freedom aloud over your life through Scripture. * Pray in gratitude for the gift of salvation and redemption.   **Call to Action** If this episode brought clarity for you, you’re invited to join my **free online Bible study, Deeply Devoted** — a safe, Scripture-rooted community of women growing in truth, discernment, and intimacy with Jesus.  Click here to join us: **https://bit.ly/DeeplyDevotedBIBLEstudy**  Come study with us, ask questions, and build deep Christ-centered friendships!

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.     Screenshot this episode, share it on your stories, and tag me @petiakolibova.
