    #29: What Your Life Actually Looks Like When You're Walking in Your Assignment

    Not the highlight reel. The real picture. In the final episode of the Called to This series, April Nova Scipio closes out July by painting an honest, grounded, hope-filled portrait of what your everyday life looks like when you are walking in what God called you to. This is not a vision of a perfect life. It's a picture of a purposeful one — where you know why you're doing what you're doing, where God shows up in the specific details, where the tired feels different, and where the fruit that grows is the kind that actually lasts. Drawing from Psalm 37:23-24, Galatians 6:9, and John 15:16 NLT, April speaks directly to the Christian woman who is on the edge of her yes — and needs to see what's on the other side before she takes the step. In this episode you'll learn:  — What specifically changes when you step into your God-given assignment  — Why walking in your calling doesn't mean life gets easy — but why it's still worth it  — The difference between productive fruit and lasting fruit  — How to write your calling in one sentence  — Three practical steps to carry what God confirmed this month into August This episode is the culmination of four weeks of honest conversation about calling, obedience, and assignment.

    #28: The Obedience You've Been Avoiding

    There is something God has been asking you to do. And you already know what it is. In this episode of the novaCo Podcast, April Nova Scipio gets specific — not general, not theoretical, specific — about the step of obedience most Christian women have been circling for far too long. This is week three of the Called to This series, and it is the most convicting episode yet. Drawing from James 4:17, Hebrews 11:8, and 1 Samuel 15:22 NLT, April unpacks why faithful women delay obedience, what that delay actually costs, and how to break your specific step of obedience down into something you can take action on today. She also addresses the three most common reasons we stay stuck in the space between knowing and doing — and offers the most practical application of the entire series. In this episode you'll learn:  — Why obedience is almost never as mysterious as we make it  — Three reasons we delay — and how to recognize which one is yours  — Why ready is a decision, not a feeling  — How to break your step of obedience into two to four smaller steps  — What to do this week to start moving If you have been waiting for a sign to take the step — this episode is it. 🔗 Grab the free 5 Daily Rhythms Guide: CLICK HERE 🔗 Learn more about novaCircle: https://www.thenovacompany.org/novacircle 🔗 Connect on Instagram: @aprilnovascipio The novaCo Podcast is hosted by April Nova Scipio — Christian mentor, author, speaker, and YouVersion Devotion Creator.

    #27: Why You Keep Saying Yes to the Wrong Things

    You already know the difference between what you could do and what you're called to. So why do you keep choosing the could anyway? In this episode of the novaCo Podcast, April Nova Scipio gets honest about the three root causes underneath the wrong yes — and why the most faithful, God-loving women are often the most susceptible to them. This is week two of the Called to This series, and it goes deeper than inspiration. April Nova names the real reasons Christian women stay stuck saying yes to things that are not their assignment — people pleasing, confusing their gifts with their calling, and using a full calendar of good things to avoid the one right thing God is asking for. Drawing from Galatians 1:10 and John 15:16 NLT, this episode will help you identify the pattern underneath your yeses and take one honest step toward changing it. In this episode you'll learn:  — Why the wrong yes almost always looks right on the outside  — How people pleasing disguises itself as faithfulness  — The difference between your gift and your God-given assignment  — How to examine your recent yeses and find the pattern Whether you're a Christian woman in ministry, entrepreneurship, or everyday life — this episode will give you language for something you've been feeling for a long time. 🔗 Grab the free 5 Daily Rhythms Guide: CLICK HERE 🔗 Learn more about novaCircle: https://www.thenovacompany.org/novacircle 🔗 Connect on Instagram: @aprilnovascipio The novaCo Podcast is hosted by April Nova Scipio — Christian mentor, author, speaker, and YouVersion Devotion Creator.

    #26: Could vs. Called: How to Finally Tell the Difference

    Being capable of something and being called to it are not the same thing — and most of us have been living as if they are. In this episode of the novaCo Podcast, Christian mentor April Nova Scipio opens the Called to This series by unpacking the difference between your capability and your God-given assignment. If you're a Christian woman who is faithful, busy, and productive — but something in your spirit keeps saying there has to be more than this — this episode is your starting point. April shares her own story of losing her career as a school administrator and spending 21 days fasting for direction, only to receive two words from God: Be available. Through that experience and the wisdom of Romans 12:6 NLT, she walks you through three practical discernment questions that help you identify what God actually assigned to you — not just what you're good at. In this episode, you'll learn:  — Why your gifts are not a permission slip for every open door  — Three questions that reveal the difference between could and called  — What it costs to keep living in capability instead of calling  — How to begin shifting toward the assignment God prepared for you This is episode one of a four-part July series on walking in your God-given assignment.

    #25: Do Something That Delights You — Reclaiming Rest, Play & Personal Joy

    When did you last do something just because it made you happy? Not because it was productive. Not because someone needed you to. Just because it brought you joy? If you had to think about it — this episode is for you. This is the series finale of The Reset — Permission to Take a Deep Breath, and we are ending on the best possible note: joy. In this episode we talk about: • Why purpose-driven women slowly forget how to play — and what that costs them • Why delight is a spiritual practice, not a reward you have to earn • How God built rest, beauty, and joy into the very fabric of creation — and what that means for you • Simple, permission-giving ways to reclaim personal joy this summer: try a new recipe, read for pleasure, move in a way that feels like freedom, make something, rest without guilt • What happens to your assignment when you are a whole, joyful woman Key scriptures: Nehemiah 8:10 · Psalm 37:4 · Genesis 2:2–3 · Proverbs 17:22 This episode includes a declaration, journal prompts, a closing prayer, and a full series celebration — because you showed up for yourself this month and that deserves to be honored.

    #24: Investing in the People Who Matter — Resetting How You Show Up in Relationships

    When we've been grinding, the people closest to us often get what's left. The tired version. The distracted version. The version that's physically present but mentally somewhere else. This isn't because we love them less. It's because we've been running on empty — and you cannot give what you do not have. This is week four of The Reset series, and we're talking about relationships. Not as an obligation to add to your list — but as one of the most important places your reset needs to reach. In this episode we talk about: • What exhaustion and overwhelm actually do to your closest relationships • The difference between being present and just being there • Why true presence has become one of the rarest gifts you can give someone • Simple, practical ways to reinvest in your spouse, children, friends, and family this week • The kind of relationships God designed us for — and what it looks like to pursue them Key scriptures: Ecclesiastes 4:9 · Proverbs 3:27 · 1 Peter 1:22 · Proverbs 27:17 This episode includes a declaration, journal prompts, and a closing prayer for your relationships and the people God placed in your life. Also in this episode — a direct announcement about something opening July 1st for women who are ready to stop doing this alone. Stay until the end.

    #23: Your Home Should Restore You — Resetting the Rhythms of Your Space

    When you walk through your front door at the end of the day — do you exhale? Or do you hold your breath? Your home is either filling you up or draining you. Most of us haven't stopped long enough to notice which one it is. And in a reset month, that's worth paying attention to. This is week three of The Reset series, and we're getting practical about your space — the environment you come home to every single day. In this episode we talk about: • Why a chaotic environment creates a chaotic inner life — the connection between your space and your peace • Simple daily home rhythms that reduce the mental load (without overhauling everything) • The difference between a clean house and a restoring home • How to create intentional spaces that feel like a deep breath when you enter them • The one space you can reset this week Key scriptures: Proverbs 17:1 · 1 Corinthians 14:33 · Proverbs 31:27 · Colossians 2:7 This is not about a perfect house. It's about a peaceful one. This episode includes a declaration, journal prompts, and a closing prayer over your home and your space.

    #22: Hearing God Again — What to Do When His Voice Feels Distant

    She loves God. She shows up. She reads, she prays, she tries. But somewhere in the busyness and the noise, His voice has gone quiet — or at least it feels that way. If you've been in a season where God feels distant, this episode is not a rebuke. It's an invitation. The fact that you're longing to hear Him more clearly is not a sign of weak faith — it's a sign of hunger. And God honors hunger. This is week two of The Reset series, and we're going deeper into the soul. In this episode we talk about: • Why God's voice can feel distant — and it's not always sin • The difference between hearing and listening • How to create space for God to speak again • The FAITH Method — a simple five-step daily practice that transforms the way you encounter God in scripture • The one step that changed everything: pausing after prayer and writing what God says back Key scriptures: John 10:27 · Psalm 46:10 · 1 Samuel 3:9 This episode includes a full walkthrough of the FAITH Method (F — Focus, A — Ask, I — Integrate, T — Talk, H — Hear), a declaration, journal prompts, and a closing prayer. The free guide mentioned in this episode — 5 Daily Rhythms That Changed Everything — includes the FAITH Method written out step by step. Grab it by CLICKING HERE.
