• Host: Set Apart V welcomes the audience to the Purpose and Set Apart podcast.

• Emphasis is placed on foundational spiritual matters, not trends or surface-level topics.

• Overarching series theme: Reset, Discernment, Obedience, Healing—each concept is deeply interconnected and essential to spiritual growth.

• Being “set apart” is a calling that requires separation, obedience, and personal alignment—not just an identity, look, or social media trend.

• Many desire the title of being set apart but are unwilling to pay the cost.

• Key Scripture: Leviticus 20:6 – highlights the fact that Yahuah separates people for Himself.

• Reset means correction, not rest.

• Areas to reset: belief systems, habits, voices of influence, and what one tolerates.

• Supporting Scriptures:

  • Romans 12:2 – renewing the mind.

  • Isaiah 30:21 – hearing the right voice.

  • Lamentations 3:40 – self-examination is crucial for healing.

• Discernment is needed to avoid confusing superficial actions (like clothing, language, or claims of being chosen) with true spiritual transformation.

• Accountability and genuine life change are marks of being set apart.

• Key Scriptures:

  • Matthew 7:21,23 – mere words are insufficient.

  • Titus 1:16 – actions must align with profession.

  • Amos 3:3 – agreement and alignment are necessary.

• Obedience distinguishes the truly healed from the outwardly religious.

• Forms of obedience: partial, delayed, selective—each presents spiritual challenges.

• Foundational Scriptures:

  • 1 Samuel 15:22 – obedience over sacrifice.

  • John 14:15 – love demonstrated by keeping commandments.

  • Deuteronomy 28:1 – blessings follow obedience, not confusion.

• Insight: Healing ceases when obedience stops.

• Yahuah often initiates healing through a period of separation or isolation—meant for preparation, not punishment.

• Delayed healing happens when one continues to hold on to past harm.

• Scriptures:

  • Hosea 2:14 – Yah speaks in the wilderness.

  • James 4:7-8 – submission precedes resistance.

  • Psalm 147:3 – healing for those who come to Him.

• Listeners are encouraged to reflect on personal obedience and influences.

• Reflective questions: What has Yahuah told me to stop? What contradicting voices am I entertaining? Am I comfort-seeking or truly obedient? Am I set apart or merely informed?

• Scriptures:

  • 2 Corinthians 13:5 – examine yourself.

  • Psalm 139:23-24 – prayer for self-examination.

• Authentic reset is uncomfortable but honest, purging what’s not from Yahuah and resulting in purification and refinement.

• Being set apart is about faithfulness, not superiority.

• Final Scriptures:

  • Joshua 24:15 – choose whom to serve.

  • 1 Peter 1:15-16 – be holy in all conduct.

• Listeners are invited to comment, suggest future topics, and share the episode.

• Social media handles provided: set Apart.B on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.

• Next episode preview: “Obedience vs. Feelings and why Feelings Lie.”

• Sign-off: Anticipation for the next discussion and blessings extended to the audience.

• Reflect on the listed self-examination questions regarding obedience and influences.

• Engage with the podcast on social platforms and provide feedback or topic requests.

• Born again around 2011.

• Prior years marked by instability, rebellion, poor choices; includes arrests and trouble with the law.

• Faced consequences later (struggle with stable employment).

• Grew up as a military brat, moved frequently; eventually settled in Alexandria, Louisiana.

• Graduated from Grambling State University with a BA in Mass Communication (Radio Broadcasting).

• Experienced an abusive relationship in her mid-30s (approximate timeline).

• Left that relationship, which triggered a reassessment of her life direction.

• At that time, attended graduate school, working toward a master’s in business.

• Decided to make a major change; moved to New Orleans soon after.

• Despite leaving, still lived in a “lukewarm” state of faith—professed belief but not full submission.

• Initially attended non-denominational churches, identified as Christian.

• Values the foundation those experiences provided but acknowledges that faith without obedience remained incomplete.

• Continued engaging in unhealthy behaviors: lust, substance abuse, alcoholism, anger, violence, attention-seeking, and validation-seeking.

• Struggled with double-mindedness—wanted faith’s benefits without obedience’s costs.

• Fall 2019: Significant transformation as she “came into the truth.”

• Felt led out of conventional church (“church system”) into a period of isolation by Yahuah, coinciding with COVID-related quarantine.

• In isolation (referenced Hosea 2:14), underwent profound inner correction, discipline, and idolatry exposure.

• Misunderstood the isolation phase, attempted to come out of it on her own, leading to a return to compromised living in late 2020.

• 2018: Quit her job to care for her ailing mother.

• 2020: Mother passed away—another pivotal, breaking point.

• Grief highlighted areas where she relied on unhealthy coping instead of turning to Yahuah

• Experienced Yahuah's nearness in brokenness.

• Final relationship ended about two and a half years ago (approx. mid-2023).

• Deep conviction post-relationship led to genuine repentance.

• Renounced various destructive behaviors and false identities.

• Experienced tangible transformation—physically, emotionally, spiritually—visible to herself and others.

• Emphasizes the transformation came not from religion, but from truth and submission to Yahuah’s Word.

• No longer identifies with Christianity as a religion, but reaffirms love for the Elohim of the Bible, Yahuah, and gratitude for Yahusha Hamashiach.

• Distinguishes between religious practice and genuine obedience; says religion without obedience leads to bondage.

• Stresses importance of daily renewal and ongoing struggle toward righteousness.

• Proverbs 13:15 (“the way of the transgressor is hard”)

• Romans 10:17 (“faith comes by hearing…”)

• John 8:34 (“whoever commits sin is a servant of sin”)

• Hosea 2:14 (allure into the wilderness)

• 2 Corinthians 5:17 (new creation in Messiah)

• Other various references about obedience and transformation

• The podcast emphasizes that righteousness in Scripture is not only about abstaining from wrongdoing but also about speaking up and acting when evil or injustice occurs.

• Silence or failure to confront wrongs, especially when clarity and authority are present, is addressed as a recurring biblical pattern.

• Multiple Scriptural references are drawn upon to highlight this theme:

  • Leviticus: Remaining silent when witnessing wrongdoing results in bearing iniquity.

  • James: Knowing the good to do but refusing to act is considered sin.

  • Proverbs: The concept that silence can cover violence, making inaction complicit in harm.

• The episode draws examples from various biblical stories:

  • Joseph and Reuben (Jasher, Chapter 43): Reuben, the firstborn who had the authority and intention to save Joseph, was absent during Joseph’s sale, leading to his inability to prevent the injustice. His remorse and grief did not remove his responsibility.

  • Adam’s Silence, Israel’s Ignorance, Leaders’ Negligence, and the Crowd’s Complicity: Multiple stories where harm prevailed not just due to active perpetrators, but because those who knew better remained silent or inactive.

  • The pattern is shown to contribute to the longevity and survival of evil and injustice throughout humanity.

• Speaking up and standing against wrong may require social risk, loss of popularity, or personal discomfort.

• Righteousness, as outlined in Scripture and reinforced by personal upbringing, demands courage to act and speak, regardless of the cost.

• The notion that “neutrality doesn’t exist when clarity has already been given”—silence always sides with one party, usually the oppressor.

• Set Apart V shares a personal lesson from her grandmother, aligning with the biblical principle: Always stand for what is right and speak up, no matter who’s involved or how uncomfortable it is.

• The aim is not to incite finger-pointing, but to prompt listeners to assess their own alignment and examine how they respond when righteousness demands courage.

• The episode concludes with encouragement to connect Scripture with real-life situations, remaining rooted, discerning, and “set apart”.

• Scripture: Genesis (Story of Joseph), Jasher 43, Leviticus, James, Proverbs

• Modern application: Encourages listeners to see these patterns as relevant for today’s world and their own lives.

• Podcast episode date: December 24, 2025

• Reflect on situations in your own life where your silence could be interpreted as complicity.

• Consider ways to courageously stand up and speak out when you witness wrongdoing.

• Engage with the podcast community with suggestions for future topics or sharing how the message has challenged or resonated with you.

If you have thoughts or suggestions, Set Apart V invites you to comment on future topics and feedback. The central message: Scripture is alive and relevant, and righteousness will always require courageous action.

• Set Apart V critiques the prevalent double standards in online culture, noting that people often claim to support truth and principles until someone they favor is in the wrong.

• Loyalty to individuals often supersedes objective judgment, leading to silence or justification when “favorites” do wrong, and condemnation when “outsiders” do the same.

• The term "man" is clarified as referring to all of humanity, not just males.

• Reliance on human judgment is seen as dangerous because people are prone to compromise principles, protect those they like, and punish those they don't, regardless of true righteousness.

• Set Apart V expresses concern about how easily people are led astray, following trends or popular opinion without critical thought.

• Blindly following crowds is equated with walking a path leading to destruction.

• Citing spiritual teachings, Set Apart V urges listeners to set aside emotions in moments of conflict and to practice discernment, waiting for divine instruction ("Yahuah’s instruction") before reacting.

• Fleshly, impulsive responses are viewed as playing into the enemy’s (Satan’s) hands.

• Several Proverbs are quoted as guiding principles:

  • Proverbs 18:5: Against partiality towards the wicked or condemnation of the righteous.

  • Proverbs 27:5-6: Favors open correction over hidden loyalty.

  • Proverbs 17:15: Equates justifying the wicked and condemning the righteous with abomination.

  • Proverbs 18:13: Warns against answering matters before understanding them.

• Social media is critiqued for rewarding outrage, reaction, and division rather than discipline, understanding, or truth.

• Those who stand firm on morality are often shunned, while wrongdoing is justified or ignored due to personal popularity or relationships.

• Set Apart V urges listeners to maintain consistent judgment and resist compromising truth for the sake of popularity or social approval.

• True love involves correction and edification, not justifying wrongdoing or condemning the just.

• Listeners are encouraged to “stay discerning, stay anchored, and wait on Yahuah before you move.”

Action Items & Takeaways:

• Practice discernment and resist impulsive reactions, especially online.

• Do not excuse wrongdoing due to personal loyalty.

• Uphold truth and righteousness consistently, even if it results in loss of support or approval.

• Seek spiritual guidance before responding to conflicts or controversies.

• Understand a situation thoroughly before passing judgment or reacting.

• Key biblical verses referenced: Proverbs 18:5, Proverbs 27:5-6, Proverbs 17:15, Proverbs 18:13.

• The episode emphasizes the urgency of the current season as a time of spiritual shifting.

• Set Apart Vee urges listeners to awaken spiritually, turn away from worldly distractions, and return wholeheartedly to Yahuwah (Yah).

• Repentance, obedience, and embracing the "narrow road" are presented as essential steps, especially while the "door of mercy" is still open.

• Listeners are warned against blending into the world, compromising values, or moving half-awake spiritually.

• Worldly distractions, traditions, entertainment, "churchianity," and even cultural or religious norms are distinguished from the true narrow path described in Scripture.

• The message refers to Matthew 7:13-14 (entering the narrow gate) and Matthew 12:50 (doing the Father's will as true family).

• Followers are encouraged not to compromise their obedience for the sake of pleasing others.

• Multiple scriptures are cited to highlight the believer’s identity:

  • Deuteronomy 14:2 (peculiar people)

  • 1 Peter 2:9 (royal priesthood)

  • Leviticus 20:26 (set apart nation)

• Emphasis is placed on being separate and holy, as instructed in 2 Corinthians 6:17.

• The episode notes increasing wickedness and deception, referencing Matthew 24:12 (love growing cold because of lawlessness).

• Listeners are urged not to follow spiritual trends or teachings that neglect repentance, obedience, holiness, and truth.

• Sin is addressed directly, especially lust (1 Corinthians 7:9), and a warning is given against assuming there is unlimited time to repent (Luke 13:25-27).

• Set Apart Vee provides reflective questions to help listeners examine their hearts:

  • What have I justified that Yahuwah has called sin?

  • What habits or relationships hinder obedience?

  • What am I holding onto out of pride, fear, or comfort?

• Psalm 139:23-24 is invoked as a prayer for Yahuwah to search and expose anything wicked within.

• Listeners are encouraged to let Yahuwah reveal, heal, and restore areas of compromise.

• The promise is given that what Yah exposes, He intends to heal, and what is surrendered will be replaced with righteousness.

• A prayer of repentance is offered, asking for honesty, cleansing, strength, and the courage to surrender anything displeasing to Yahuwah.

• The audience is encouraged to continually seek Yah and let Him show what needs to be changed in their lives.

• Matthew 7:13-14: The narrow gate.

• Matthew 12:50: Doing the will of the Father defines true family.

• Deuteronomy 14:2: Peculiar people.

• 1 Peter 2:9: Royal priesthood.

• Leviticus 20:26: Set apart nation.

• 2 Corinthians 6:17: Come out and be separate.

• Matthew 24:12: Lawlessness and love growing cold.

• 1 Corinthians 7:9: Better to marry than to burn with lust.

• Luke 13:25-27: The danger of waiting until the door is shut.

• Psalm 139:23-24: Prayer for searching and cleansing the heart.

• Reflect honestly on spiritual state and lay aside anything that dishonors Yahuwah.

• Regularly ask, “Abba, what is in my life that dishonors you and is not of you?”

• Choose repentance and obedience now, not in a distant future.

• Share the message with others who may benefit.

• Maintain a posture of humility, readiness, and spiritual submission throughout the week.

• Set Apart V reflects on Proverbs 10:19: "In a multitude of words, there wanteth not sin, but he that refraineth his lips is wise."

• Excessive talking—venting, debating, over-explaining, defending—often leads to sin as it gives more space for fleshly impulses to overpower spiritual self-control.

• Wisdom is shown by restraint; silence is advocated as a protective, wise response rather than weakness.

2. Spiritual and Practical Benefits of Restraint

• Silence serves as self-control and spiritual armor, helping to guard one’s spirit.

• Holding one’s peace can prevent:

  • Entering into unwanted spiritual agreements through careless words.

  • Saying things that can’t be taken back.

  • Sowing negative seeds that will yield unwanted results in the future.

• Sometimes saying nothing is the most powerful, wise action to take.

3. Wisdom in Conversation

• Not all conversations, accusations, or arguments require a response, explanation, or participation.

• Wisdom involves:

  • Not wasting words on those unwilling to hear the truth.

  • Avoiding unnecessary conflicts or foolish debates.

  • Guarding the tongue to keep the heart pure.

• Letting silence and spiritual sensitivity (The Ruach) guide one's speech.

• Lending is presented as more than a financial transaction; it is described as a "spiritual agreement" or a covenant.

• Lending links the lender to the borrower's choices, character, habits, and even spiritual state.

• The lender's peace and household can become affected by the borrower's decisions and consequences.

• The act of lending is not only about help but about sharing outcomes and destinies, especially in the context of personal relationships.

• The message draws heavily on Proverbs, particularly:

  • Proverbs 6: Warns against becoming "surety" for someone, equating this with tying one's fate and finances to the other’s destiny.

  • Proverbs 13:20: "He who walks with the wise will be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed," interpreted as extending to financial companionship.

• Lending to those who are irresponsible, rebellious, or dishonorable ties the lender's resources to the borrower’s spiritual and practical state.

• Lending to someone with poor judgment or in spiritual turmoil can lead to personal disturbances, such as loss of peace, financial instability, and emotional or spiritual heaviness.

• Proverbs 6:2 emphasizes being "snared with the words of thy mouth," signifying the binding nature of agreements and their repercussions.

• Proverbs chapters 1–5 underscore the importance of discretion, which involves:

  • Not letting compassion override wisdom

  • Not letting familiarity override discernment

  • Not letting emotions override obedience

• Discretion is portrayed as a key kingdom value and protective principle, not just a religious or superficial rule.

• Set Apart V emphasizes that this perspective is about "kingdom awareness" and financial discernment, not mere "surface level church talk."

• There is a stress on understanding covenant principles, spiritual transfer, and the weight of agreements in a spiritual context.

1. Obedience before understanding — John 7:17

> “If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine…”

Revelation comes after obedience

This verse literally teaches:
If you obey → THEN you’ll understand.
Obedience opens revelation.

2. Forgiveness as a spiritual assignment — Matthew 6:14

“If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”

3. Yahuah looks at the heart — 1 Samuel 16:7

“Yahuah looks on the heart.”

4. Obedience proves love — John 14:15

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

5. Following Him when it makes no sense — Proverbs 3:5–6

“Lean not unto your own understanding… and He shall direct your paths.”

6. He weighs the intentions — Proverbs 16:2

“Yahuah weighs the spirits.”

7. Forgiveness breaks spiritual yokes — Isaiah 58:6

“To loose the bands of wickedness… and break every yoke.”

8. Psalm 119:100–102 — Obedience produces understanding
“I understand more than the ancients…
I have kept Your precepts.”

David says the reason he has revelation and understanding is because he obeys.

9. Proverbs 1:23 — Obedience unlocks the Ruach’s revelation

“Turn at My reproof; behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you, I will make My words known unto you.”

“Turn” = obey.
THEN He pours out His Spirit.
THEN He reveals His words.

10. Psalm 19:7–11 — Obedience brings reward

“Moreover by them (His commandments) is Your servant warned: and in keeping them there is great reward.”

Not small reward — great reward.
Obedience → reward.

11. Deuteronomy 29:29 — Revelation belongs to the obedient

“The secret things belong unto Yahuah…
but those things which are revealed belong to us who keep all the words of this Torah…”

Revelation is given to the obedient.

12. Deuteronomy 28:1–2 — Obedience brings blessings (rewards)

“If you diligently obey… all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you…”
Obedience → reward.

13. Psalm 25:14 — Obedience gives access to His secrets

“The secret of Yahuah is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant.”

Fear = obedience.
He reveals secrets to the obedient.

14. James 1:25 — Obedience brings blessing

“He that looks into the perfect law…
and continues in it… this man shall be blessed in his deed.”

Obey → reward.

14. Proverbs 3:1–2 — Obedience brings favor and long life

“Keep My commandments… for length of days, long life, and peace shall they add to you.”

Obey → reward.

John 7:17 — obedience brings revelation
Psalm 19:11 — obedience brings reward

Together they prove the whole principle:
Obedience unlocks revelation AND reward.

• Fearing Yahuwah is about connection, not fearfulness. It’s the means by which one receives spiritual nourishment and resilience.
• Listeners are encouraged to spend time with Proverbs 3 during the week, reflecting on where they may be relying on personal understanding rather than divine wisdom.

• Encouragement to reconnect with Yahuwah as the source, metaphorically described as “the cord” or lifeline.
• Appreciation expressed for the audience, with a call to remain “grounded and obedient” and to “stay set apart.”
• Closing greeting: “Shalom.”
