#3: Why Identity Must Come Before Intention
Before you set new goals, refine your plans, or map out what’s next, there’s a more important foundation to revisit:
Who are you becoming?
In this episode of The novaCo Podcast, April Nova Scipio explores why identity must always come before intention—and how many women unknowingly exhaust themselves by building from goals instead of grounding their lives in who God says they are.
When identity leads, intention becomes lighter.
When identity is settled, rhythms become sustainable.
This episode invites you to slow down and realign, reminding you that God establishes who you are before He reveals what you’re called to do.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- Why intention without identity often leads to striving and burnout
- How faith-first identity reshapes goals, decisions, and priorities
- The difference between living from identity and living from expectation
- How clarity and peace flow naturally when identity is rooted in Christ
Key Scriptures (NLT):
- Ephesians 2:10
- Matthew 6:33
- Romans 12:2
- 2 Corinthians 3:17
- Psalm 37:5
