More About Krista

Krista Pettiford is an author, preacher, Bible teacher, and speaker who helps women understand God’s times and seasons so they can recognize what God is doing, trust His timing, and partner with Him as He unfolds His plans, purposes, and promises over time.

Through Scripture-rooted teaching, personal testimony, and practical wisdom, Krista helps women discern their season, strengthen their faith, and live with greater confidence in God’s leading. Her message is centered on the belief that God unfolds His plans, purposes, and promises season by season, and that every season carries an assignment, an opportunity for growth, and a purpose in His greater plan.

Krista is especially passionate about helping women recognize that a season is more than a period of time. A season is time spent with a person, in a place, or doing a thing that marks our lives and adds chapters to our story. Through this lens, she teaches women how to discern what God may be doing in their current season and how to steward that season well.

With warmth, transparency, and wisdom shaped through years of walking with God through seasons of waiting, transition, disappointment, growth, and new beginnings, Krista brings a compassionate and relatable voice to women seeking to trust God more deeply and move forward with faith. She understands what it feels like when life does not unfold as expected and encourages women to remain anchored in God’s truth, trust His timing, and embrace the season they are in while looking forward with hope.

Krista is the founder of the Called Conference, the Called Collective, and Krista Pettiford Ministries. With nearly two decades of leadership in women’s and prayer ministries, a degree in Biblical Studies, and devotional content that has reached thousands through YouVersion, YouTube, speaking events, and online resources, she has spent years encouraging women through biblical teaching, discipleship, and prayer.

Krista is also the author of Brave Change: Navigating Unexpected Seasons in Midlife with Faith, Courage, and Grace (InterVarsity Press, releasing January 2027), a book that encourages women to trust God through life’s unexpected transitions and discover His faithfulness in every season.

Above all, Krista desires to remind women that no season is wasted in God’s hands. Every season has beauty, blessings, purpose, and lessons, and every season has an assignment. God is faithfully unfolding His plans, purposes, and promises through every chapter of their story.
