We have an amazing guest today. She's so much fun, has just got such a remarkable resume. Michelle, you wanna introduce?1:06 Yes. We are so excited to have her on. She is a surf and homeschool mom, podcaster. She her she has a podcast called Turning the Page, which we're gonna hear all about. She's a1:18 singer, songwriter, certified leadership coach, interior designer, wife, and Jesus lover, will you welcome Nova Paige. We are so excited to have you on the program.1:30 Oh my goodness. I I'm honored. Thank you, ladies.1:33 It's been a divine appointment because our show, is on pray dot com, and your husband, Ricky, always takes care of us and makes sure everything is going right for us. And that's how we1:45 have come to know you. And I have to say, I have watched some of your1:49 stuff and just even some of your1:49 shorts, and you're hilarious on top of everything else. I was laughing some of your shorts, and you're hilarious on top of everything else. I was laughing so hard about your shout out to all who can fold the fitted sheet2:00 and get it to look as good as a regular sheet in the closet. But, anyway, you're you're just a a hoop. So what is on your mind? What we wanna hear everything. Whatever you wanna speak about, like, what the2:12 even how you were saved, whatever you wanna talk2:14 about. Tell us how you came into a relationship with the Lord.2:19 Oh my goodness, you guys. This this story is I feel like it's remarkable because I remember being absolutely alone in my room. I had grown up in a home where,2:31 you know, Christ was talked about and, you know, learning to live it. My mom was a prayer warrior. I lived in the middle of nowhere in Canada on a farm, and I remember being by myself. I was 5 years old. My2:43 parents had taken us to church, and we were, like, people that went to church in the morning and also at night. So we were, like, really big church people. But I remember meeting Jesus, at 5 years old, and there2:55 was a kind of there's kind of a story before that where God there's a remarkable story of I had wandered away as a child, and this man had brought me back to the house. And this is a very3:07 abbreviated version, but, my mom believes it was an angel. And as a child, I remember I was on a very busy highway, and this car had rolled up, and there were white wheel wells, and there were white3:18 seats, and there was a man in a white suit, and he plopped me in the car. And I remember him bringing me home, and that's all I remember, but I remember him. And my mom didn't know where I was. Everybody was freaking3:28 out, and he brought me to the door. And my mom would look at me, and he's in a white suit, and I was all dirty, and she grabbed me, and she was just freaking out, and he was gone.3:40 The thing is, our driveway was, I think, a quarter of a mile or something down, and so you could hear gravel if cars were on it, but the man had gotten in his car, and he was gone. And so I feel like God has always said,3:52 I saved you for a purpose, and the story is from my mother's mouth and all of my siblings, because everyone was looking for me. And the lies that the enemy tried to tell me4:04 my whole life was that I was unwanted, that I was a mistake. I was a surprise to my parents, but the enemy, you know, he can get in there and just make you just kinda think what4:16 is not right and true. And the Lord recently reminded me, uh-uh. We're not going there. You I I saved you for a purpose. But at 5 years old, I was by myself in my room, and I felt like God just4:28 said you are mine, and you belong to me. And I remember just saying yes, Lord. And at that moment, I know it sounds crazy. I was only 5, but I felt like God said, you will be the wife of4:40 1 man, and I have him for you. And that's all I knew at 5. And I'm married to my Ricky. It is for 30 years. Praise God. He is a protector and a4:51 leader.4:52 Yes.4:52 Yes. Protects his family. He protects the people that he has shepherded along the years. He protected them, and he led them. Amazing. And so I'm, yeah, I'm so proud to be called5:04 his wife. And he is a genuine, servant hearted, godly leader, and I love him so much, and he has made this life so incredible. Walking alongside of5:16 him has been an incredible gift, to me and to my children, and he has fathered them well, And, to the point now where we have our son, who's 25, married, and he still wants to come5:28 home, him and his wife, to just hang with us, and I'm like, thank you, Lord. So5:32 that's good parenting.5:34 Yes. When they want to come home.5:36 They wanna come home. Like, keep your mouth shut and open up the door5:39 and Oh, and feed them. Bring you know, you could just say5:42 they will come. Oh, girl. I mean, their whole life feed them. Feed them, feed their friends Yes. And just make stuff out of nothing. I'm like, how many times have you guys done that? It's like Yep. I'm like, I have no5:54 food, Lord. Multiply the food. My friend Tracy and I talked about this. Like, oh, it's like, you know, make 5 you you know, make it all happen, God. Yep. So, Yeah. So we have our 25 year old son. My beautiful6:05 daughter-in-law, Bronwyn, is also gonna be 25 this year. And then I have a daughter, Shiloh, who's 12, and she's my little surfer girl. And you guys said, you know, to share kind of what's on my heart, but, man, I have6:16 really been pressing into, my identity, into trusting God. And it it that sounds so like, okay. Yes. Our identity. But you know? Because I think so many people6:28 we're talking about this, and sometimes, I know I have felt like, I thought we've gone through this, Lord. I thought I knew who I was and you. But as he tunes us like, he's tuning my ear to his voice. And,6:41 this past weekend, my daughter was in a surf competition, and she had was in on Saturday, she was in a category, and she actually got an interference, and there's a whole6:53 thing about that. God kind of spoke to me, but she was in second place and swiftly moved to fifth, and so she was out of the competition because she got an interference. But God used that interference to help her focus7:04 for the next day, and she went in just beautifully. But that morning, I woke up, and I felt like the Holy Spirit said, okay, Noah. You haven't made room. And I'm like, for what, Jesus?7:16 And he's like, you haven't made room in Shiloh's room for a big trophy. And so he said, I want you go to her room after she's in the car, and I want you to take the lamp that is on her dresser, and I want7:28 you to move it to her bedside table, And I want you to shift everything so that there's 2 spots on her dressers on her dresser. And I'm like, okay, Lord. This feels a little little like, really? Is this your really your7:40 voice? And I'm like, okay. I'll do it. So I did it, And I placed I've placed 2 open spaces, and I just said, I'm just gonna trust you, Lord. And then God said, but I want you to take a step further. I don't want you7:52 to tell Shiloh, but I want you to tell Ricky because this is a part of you trusting my voice and being unashamed to say it was me. I'm like, okay, Lord. So,8:04 my husband, my I told him, and he's like, awesome. Let's go. And so we, you know, prayed her all the way through. And she's a little minister. She's praying for her friends along the way, and it's a very highly8:13 competitive day and situation. But, she went into 1 of her heats, and she only caught 1 wave. And you they they they score you on 2 waves. If you're a surfer, you know this, and you guys don't need to know all8:24 the fine details, but she only got 1 wave. And I was like, hey. I guess I don't hear your voice, God. She's out of the competition. Well, come to find out, she made it through her heat with 1 wave. She got an8:35 8.8, and other people score that didn't get like, their 2 waves didn't make an 8.8, and she got through on 1 wave. Wow. It was8:47 so incredible, and and even then, you know, we talked with her, and she's like, I know what I gotta do now. So that girl had 8 heats, and if you know what heats are, they're 15 minute long, and you go and you paddle and8:58 you battle and you get out there and catch waves and you perform. And, by the end of the day, you know, she had they were doing awards, and she had made it to the finals in 2 categories. In the first category, I thought9:09 she did really well, and she actually ended up placing fourth, which was incredible. But then I thought, well, in this other category, I guess I guess I maybe I heard your voice, but it won't be 1 of the big trophies9:18 because if she didn't get enough, then she and they announced it, and she had gotten, second place, which was phenomenal. She's 12 years old, and she's in U 14 and U 16. And I just thought,9:30 Lord, why do I ever doubt you? And, you know, it wasn't really about her trophies and her winning because we win and lose and all the things all the time and characters being built. But he the Lord is like, I9:42 want you to remember this because I'm going to tell you things in the future, and when you hear my voice, how I speak to you, you come out of a sleepful9:55 resting place, and I speak to you very gently, but I'm very direct with you. And I want you to pay attention to that in the future. And I know for people listening, if sometimes we think, oh, I don't know. Is that God's10:05 voice? Is that is that God's voice? I think God's voice when I hear it, I I I I feel that peace. But going through and walking through this with him,10:18 it just made my ears tune up a little bit. And, you know, for anybody listening,10:25 I10:25 don't know. I hope that encourages you to just keep listening and tuning your ear10:30 to you. His The voice of Jesus. Know his voice. And we're gonna take a quick break. We will be right back. Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle.10:39 Hello, everyone.

We're here with Nova Paige, and she has a podcast called Turning the Page. Nova, tell us how that11:51 got started.11:54 Oh my goodness. You know, I had been involved in some other podcasts in the past. My husband and I had been in ministry for many years, and my sweet brother had moved to Nashville in the middle of all the 2012:06 20 between 20 20 and 20 85, he he ended up moving there, and he got connected with some some people, from heartland journal dot com. That's where you can find, Turning the Page. Actually, you can find it12:18 everywhere, but Turning the Page podcast. It's it's a little it's a little tip of the hat to my last name, which is Nova Page. It's like a page in a book. And I really you know, I12:30 love the name of your show, Grace Grace, because it just it's like there there's just this idea that we God gives puts grace gives us grace, and we can turn the page. We can do the next right thing. We can12:42 hear his voice. We can keep going. Our story's always being written. And so I I love story. I love seeing the resilience in people's lives, and I love digging it out of their soul.12:54 And I I I just I love story, and I am probably a bit of a romantic, but I I am an artist. And so when Heartland approached me through my brother, I really prayed hard about it because I13:06 I, you know, I don't wanna do thing I wanna do things that I know God has asked me and called me to do, and I'm in a very busy season of my life. I'm still raising a little girl. Her her sport is incredibly13:17 competitive. I still do songwriting, and I'm still, you know, doing, you know, different things. And so I wanted to make sure if I if I did that, I I would do it with all my heart. And so it I it's been a huge privilege13:29 to, just share the stories of resilience. And, you know, sometimes I have people who are wildly in love with Jesus and people that are figuring it out, but just giving voice to13:41 to people and their stories and, giving them hope to just keep going. Sometimes we think we're the only 1. You know? And we're not.13:49 All the time. We think that. It's very true. And so, I know you had, a very amazing, singing career, for a while, and I've watched some of your14:01 videos with that too. You have a beautiful voice.14:03 Oh, thank you.14:04 So, I know when you met Ricky, you know, and he that's a cool story too. Why don't why don't you talk about that and then talk about, you know, your singing and why you changed that. Like, you know, you're not really14:16 you kind of left that behind a little bit. You're still songwriting, but talk about how you met your husband, because that's a really cool story.14:23 Yeah. I I I'll try to encapsulate it, very, very quickly, but, I was actually I was visiting my brother. My brother has just entered in and out of my life all the time. And, actually, as children, we didn't get along14:35 so well, and then, God just kind of, you know, changed all that. But I was visiting my brother with my parents, and, actually, my boyfriend at the time, and we I was going to see my brother. And so14:47 I remember seeing Ricky, and I had a lot of trouble. It was not a great relationship, but I remember seeing Ricky very far away, and I noticed how he was just like I called him the Energizer Bunny because he would just14:59 bounce around, and I noticed he would hold doors open for everyone, and it wasn't just for cute girls, and he just had the joy of the Lord in him, and I saw it, and I felt like15:10 the Lord spoke to me and said, again, he said, That's your husband. And I'm like, What? Because I'm like, I'm dating, and the Lord's like, man, I already told you. I already told15:22 you. Well, I you know what, ladies? I went back I ended up getting a scholarship to that college. I ended up becoming friends with Ricky, and I was like, this is so awkward. Is he really my I don't even know what's going15:32 on, and he was dating somebody else. He had we were all friends, and she was they ended up breaking up, and and, you know, he we were friends for a long time, and then he finally, 115:44 day, just said, I think that this is going somewhere, and I would love to be, you know, someone who pursues a a definite relationship with you into marriage. I want you to be my girlfriend. But we kinda15:56 knew very early on that we were meant to be. And, you know, I I again, like, I heard God speak very clearly, but what the the most amazing part was my mother.16:09 She was so she was so in tune, but she had Ricky had gone up to her, and everybody called my parents well, my last name was Clawson. They call and my brother was The Claw. Don't ask, but everybody called my16:21 parents, Mompa, Claw, Mompa, Claw, and so he went up to he goes, Hey, Mompa, Claw, and she said, Nova. A shudder kind of went down my body, and and the Lord told me that was gonna be my son, And she never16:33 told me until after I was engaged.16:36 Wow. Wow. Yeah.16:38 That took some restraint.16:39 And that's how she you know that they're gonna approve. You know?16:44 And they my parents are are both with the Lord. My mom passed away 2 years ago, and she was an incredible warrior. And my my my sweet dad passed away 5 years prior to her. But, man, my16:55 mom was an amazing woman, and they they were they loved my Ricky. They they loved him so much, and they were so thankful, to the Lord for, such an17:07 incredibly godly man. Just never yeah.17:11 It sounds like they passed the torch to17:13 you. Yeah.17:14 You know? Exactly. They it sounds like they were real intercessors and tuned in.17:19 Yeah. Especially my mom. I mean, she would pray for turkeys to move in the barn, and I promise you, they thousands of turkeys, she would just she would sing over them, and they would just move where they needed to move,17:29 and that was17:29 my mom.17:29 Oh my goodness.17:30 Yeah. She was powerful.17:32 That's that's that's everything faith, isn't it? You know, things you don't even think to pray about. And, you know, just to pray about everything like that is amazing. Turkey faith. No, but we're gonna take a quick17:43 break. We're gonna come right back. Stay right there. You're watching Grace Grace with Nina and Michelle.17:47 Hello, everyone. I'm excited to announce the next generation of energy drinks, Rev 7. It has no sugar and no caffeine. Instead, Rev 7 uses go b h17:59 b.

I drink Rev 7 every day, and I absolutely love it, and so will you.18:48 Welcome back to Grace. Grace, we're here with Nova Paige. And like we said in the introduction, she's a podcaster, singer, songwriter, leadership coach. She's been through so manySeasons of Change and Faith 18:59 seasons. So tell us, Nova, there have been a lot of different changes in your life. Tell us about that.19:09 The seasons.19:11 Well, yeah. I mean, it's interesting because I as a child, I remember thinking, I'm a singer. That's all I do. That's what I that's all I know. And I I remember even I couldn't you guys, I could19:23 not speak out loud. I was I could sing my little face off, but if you asked me to even say anything before I sang say anything before I sang, I would, like, cry. I'd be so nervous. I was so19:34 afraid to open my mouth, so fearful that someone would think I was not enough and not perfect enough. And God really, through my life,19:46 has changed me, healed me, allowed me to, move into different seasons. I I got my singing voice young, and then I got my voice to share my heart and speak19:58 truthfully. And, you know, I thought like I said, I I I'm a singer. That's what I do. Whereas I was an a singing actress. I could do that. And God was like, but that's not who you can do those things,20:10 but who you who you are is just a little it's different than that. Like, I saved you, and I called you to be this bodybuilder, like a a bodybuilder for the kingdom.20:21 Like, you're building, you're sowing into people's lives. And so, you know, I have done a lot. I've done a lot of music in the Christian music industry, in the secular industry. I, you know, I have you know, this week, I20:33 have, you know, working with a songwriter and, you know, singing, but, and I was a worship leader and pastor for a long time when my husband and I were in full time ministry. And, you know, I think life is ever changing,20:45 and I I would tell my son all the time, life is maintenance, bro. Like, you just there's a lot of maintenance. You gotta20:52 make your bed. You gotta do20:53 the next thing. And life like, to bring the ocean back into it. Listen, the the tides come in. The sand changes. You make sandcastles. They go away. Like, things come in and come out and for21:05 us to stay focused on the again, back to the voice of God. And and it it doesn't like, change isn't failure. We have to be able to say, no. I'm malleable. I21:17 can change. I can move and shift because God is with me. He's never left me. He's never left me. He's by my side, and he remains, and I remain in him. And if I do, I'm gonna bear some good fruit21:29 no matter what I'm doing, if I know who I am, then, anything that I'm doing is is because I know who I am, and I'm working out in that gifted area21:41 of my life. And so I I have done a lot of things. I was been I had an interior design business, for 6 years with my best friend. She moved away, and we're like,21:50 you know what? It's not21:51 as much fun if we're not doing it together. And so at that time, God had called me to homeschool my daughter, and so I became this homeschool mom, podcaster, and, you know, part time singer, this and that. And and I22:02 guess I I'm kind of 1 of those girls who has always just done, a few different things at a time, and, and I know how to pace myself at this point and say no22:14 and yes to the right things. And so I I feel really grateful for that, but I always to people that are listening, like, life also isn't over for you. If you've tried 1 thing and it's not, you know, what you22:25 feel called to or you don't feel like you're great, then do something different. Ask the Lord. Lord, what what's next?22:33 What do22:33 you want me to do next? So The kingdom of heaven22:36 is always advancing, and so so God doesn't call us to just stay in 1 place. And, know, Michelle and I say the same thing, like, we we never thought ever we would have a TV show that was never even22:48 a blip on our radar and here we are in our eleventh season. So God is always doing things that you eye has not seen, right? Ear has not heard. He has such amazing plans, but knowing, like you said, how23:00 to hear his voice, how to know kind of when he says run, run, go with it. You know it's from the Lord. And if it's not, if you think you've missed it, take a step back, you know, ask him again, and then go out again23:12 and and try different things. Like you're saying, what's what you know,23:16 why not? And and think about it. Like it says, call to me and I will tell you things you do not know. And and and so many of us are going, what do I do next? Yeah. Call to the Lord. Right?23:28 And hear his voice like what you're saying, Nova.23:31 Yeah. It's amazing because he's always got something new. He's never done with us as we're here. You know, of course, worship. Go tell everybody about him in whatever capacity or way or whatever, you know,23:43 ministry is everywhere. It can be an interior design, which I I have A hundred percent.23:48 Yeah. So anything, it can23:49 can be on the surf. You know, wherever we are, you know, it's not some always some far off place where we have to go visit and do do a mission trip, which is amazing too. But who's sitting next to you, you know,24:00 somewhere? And so it's every you know, it's all for the great commission and for the for God's glory. Everything we do is for his glory. So it's amazing.24:10 We certainly have enjoyed having you today and love your heart and That's your preciousness. Message about hearing from the Lord. I I love when there's a practical application. You know,24:22 you just listen and you obeyed and you did it. And will you pray for our viewers right now, Nova?24:28 I would love I would love to. Jesus, we love you. Father, we adore you. And Holy Spirit, we rely on you. We thank you for your still, small voice. We thank you24:40 that you live for us, that you died for us, but you also lived for us and live for us and through us. And, God, I24:52 pray for those today that are hurting, those that feel lost, those that feel like it's maybe too late or something has passed them by. God, would25:04 You just surround them? Would You just be present with them? As they reach out to You, would you hear their cry and answer them? Jesus, thank you25:16 for saving me. Thank you for Nina and Michelle and the work that you have done in them and through them, and thank you for the ministry that you've called them to. Thank you for their voices, Lord.
