Petrina Pacheco Turns Personal Testimony Into New Christian Radio Single “God Moves”

Christian artist Petrina Pacheco is bringing a powerful message of faith to the airwaves with the release of her new single "God Moves," now impacting Christian radio. The uplifting Christian AC and Praise & Worship track blends scripture-inspired lyrics with a joyful musical arrangement, offering listeners a reminder that even the smallest faith can lead to extraordinary transformation.

Written by Petrina Pacheco and her son Treyvin Pacheco and produced by Chris Springer, the song carries a deeply personal story. Petrina says the inspiration for "God Moves" came through a vivid dream in which she heard both the melody and lyrics while clapping along to the rhythm. When she woke up, the music was still playing in her mind, prompting her to quickly record the idea on her phone before the moment faded.

What began as a dream soon turned into a meaningful family collaboration. Treyvin, a talented 15-year-old pianist, developed the musical arrangement around the melody his mother had captured. He also suggested including a spoken message within the song to highlight its biblical foundation. Petrina wrote the spoken portion, while her husband James Pacheco recorded the narration, making the track a special project shared by the entire family.

The message behind "God Moves" reflects Petrina's own powerful journey of faith. Raised in Kiln, Mississippi, she grew up in a church-going family where her parents modeled strong Christian values. However, as she grew older and began making her own choices, faith became less of a priority. During that season, she found herself trapped in a toxic and abusive relationship that lasted several years.

After leaving the relationship at the age of 28, Petrina continued to struggle with emotional pain and addiction as she tried to cope with the trauma she had experienced. Her life took a dramatic turn when she attended a church service at the age of 33. In that moment, she says she experienced a powerful encounter with God that set her free from addiction and gave her a renewed sense of purpose and peace.

Since that life-changing experience, Petrina and her husband have dedicated themselves to ministry and outreach, working to help others who are struggling with addiction, brokenness, and spiritual searching. Through both music and ministry, Petrina now shares the message that transformation and healing are possible through faith.

That message is woven throughout the lyrics of "God Moves." The song intentionally incorporates scripture, including references to the biblical promise that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains and the reminder that all things are possible for those who believe. The chorus captures the heart of the message with the declaration: "When you have faith, God moves. When you have love, God moves."

For Petrina, the mission behind the song goes beyond simply releasing new music. She believes that while some people may never open a Bible, they may still hear a song on the radio. By placing scripture directly into the lyrics, "God Moves" allows listeners to hear and remember God's Word through music.

With its joyful sound and message of hope, the song stands as both a testimony and an invitation-encouraging listeners to trust that when faith is present, God is always at work.
