What does it mean to be set apart in a modern world, that is my topic for today. We live in a world where everyone is encouraged to do what they please, not matter the consequences. The Bible paints a different picture. One where God desires us to be holy, to be set apart, not following the things the world chases after. This episode will challenge your way of living in our modern world.
What does it mean to be beautiful in a culture that constantly shifts the standard? How can moms raise daughters to be confident in who God made them to be—without getting caught up in the world's obsession with image and appearance? In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa open up about their own girlhood experiences with beauty standards shaped by pop culture, from magazine quizzes to celebrity beauty icons. Together, they explore how those early messages still linger today—and how our daughters now face even greater pressure in the age of social media. With honesty, humor, and heartfelt faith, Rachael and Melissa reflect on the growing trend of “Get Ready With Me” videos that invite girls as young as eight to model their beauty routines for an online audience. Drawing wisdom from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay's Raising Godly Girls Minute, they confront how easily young girls begin to equate their worth with how they look, rather than who they are in Christ. Through the lens of Romans 12:2, they offer a compelling call to raise girls who are not conformed to the patterns of this world, but who are transformed by the renewing of their minds—anchored in Biblical truth and Godly confidence. Listeners will be invited into a grace-filled, practical conversation about where beauty and faith intersect. From vulnerable anecdotes about personal image struggles to actionable conversation starters for moms and daughters, this episode provides a roadmap for shaping a Christ-centered understanding of beauty. You'll hear how small moments—like bedtime chats or quiet prayers—can become holy ground for heart-deep conversations, and how even something as simple as an AHG badge can become a meaningful tool for discipleship. If you've ever wondered how to help your girl navigate a world obsessed with filters, fashion, and false standards, this episode will encourage you to pause, pray, and speak truth into her heart. Join us as we explore how to raise girls who know their worth, not by how the world sees them, but by the eyes of a loving God who calls them fearfully and wonderfully made.

Tuesday Truth!God has called us to live Holy, which means set apart. When the children of Israel was delivered out of captivity, God told them don't be like the other people as a matter of fact get rid of them, because He called them to live a certain way and knew that they would get tripped up by keeping other people around!

Acts 12:25-13:12 25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had completed their service, bringing with them John, whose other name was Mark. 13:1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off. 4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them. 6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus. 7 He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the Word of God. 8 But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10 and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

Pastor Travis Hearn brings a powerful and cinematic message to Impact Church titled “Living a Life of Sacrifice.” With raw honesty and heartfelt storytelling, he invites us into the legacy of his mother—Toni—a woman who gives up her own dreams, works four jobs, and sacrifices everything just to be present for her son. But this isn't just her story—it becomes a mirror for all of us. In this message, Pastor Travis calls you to something deeper: not just believing in Jesus, but fully belonging to Him. As he unpacks Romans 12:1, you'll be challenged to offer your life—not in part, but in full—as a living sacrifice. Worship, he says, isn't just what happens on a Sunday stage, it's what happens when your life hits the altar on Monday morning. If you've ever felt unseen, broken, or out of place, this message reminds you—you're not overlooked, you're set apart. Through the promise of Psalm 91 and the boldness of Daniel, you'll be inspired to stop conforming and start transforming. Because when you see God's mercy clearly, giving Him everything won't feel like loss—it'll feel like the only thing that makes sense.

Deuteronomy 23 outlines laws that preserve the holiness and dignity of Israel as God's chosen people. It addresses who may enter the assembly, the importance of cleanliness in the camp, respect for personal property, care for the vulnerable, and the need for purity in both physical and spiritual matters. The chapter reinforces the call for Israel to be set apart and walk in obedience, reflecting God's character. #Deuteronomy23 #SetApart #HolinessMatters #GodsStandards #PurityAndObedience #BibleWisdom #SendMeRadio #OldTestamentLaw #FaithfulLivingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

How can we be set apart and uncensored? In this enlightening conversation, Todd Coconato discusses the importance of being set apart and uncensored in the Christian faith. He shares his personal experiences, including an angelic visitation that inspired his journey towards deeper consecration. The discussion delves into the dangers of complacency within the church, the necessity of fellowship, and the steps believers can take to grow spiritually. Coconato emphasizes the significance of heart posture, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the power of speaking truth in a world that often seeks to silence it. He concludes with encouragement for listeners to pursue a deeper relationship with God and offers resources for their spiritual growth. Takeaways Being set apart requires a commitment to consecration. Complacency in faith can lead to spiritual stagnation. Fellowship with other believers is essential for growth. Prayer and studying the Word are foundational to spiritual life. Heart posture matters in our relationship with God. Expect opposition when pursuing a deeper faith. Speaking truth is vital in a censored world. God's peace can sustain us through trials. We are called to be watchmen in a spiritual battle. God desires us to walk in His perfect will.

It's a continuation of the revelations that stood out to me during my silent retreat.

Tune in to hear: • Why success isn't just something you achieve—it's who you are and who you were created to be. • How to stop apologizing for being set apart and boldly step into your purpose. • How to retrain your body and heart to feel at home in confidence, joy, and prosperity. You were never meant to blend in. You were called to stand out. Not because you're better—but because you're called. Run your race—rooted in Christ and confident in your calling. It's time to practice the feeling of success and live from your true identity. It's time for you to truly prosper.

Deuteronomy is Moses' final address to Israel before they enter the Promised Land. Chapter 7 continues his instructions, emphasizing God's covenant faithfulness and Israel's responsibility to remain holy and separate from the surrounding nations. This chapter feels like a father's final counsel to his children: “Don't forget who you are. Don't mix with the ways of the world. You are chosen.” Summary and Breakdown 1. The Lord Goes Before You (Verses 1–2) “When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations…” (v.1) Moses reminds the people: it is God who drives out the nations, not their strength. These nations were “greater and mightier,” but God has sovereignly chosen to displace them. The list of seven nations symbolizes completeness of conquest—God's full action to give His people space to flourish in the land of promise. Reflection: Victory belongs to the Lord. Often, what seems bigger than us is not bigger than God. He goes ahead of His people to prepare the way. 2. No Compromise, No Covenants (Verses 2–5) God commands: •Do not make treaties. •Do not intermarry. •Tear down their altars, smash sacred stones, cut down Asherah poles, and burn idols. This is not about ethnicity but spiritual purity. Intermarriage risked leading Israel into idolatry. God's desire is that they remain fully loyal to Him. Reflection: God calls His people to live distinct lives, not blending into the surrounding culture where it leads to compromise. Holiness is separation unto God, not isolation from people. 3. Chosen Because of Love (Verses 6–8) “The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you…” (v.7–8) Here is the heart of the covenant: God's love and faithfulness to His promise. Israel's election is an act of divine grace, not human merit. Reflection: We are chosen not because of our qualifications, but because of God's unchanging love. His grace is the foundation of our identity. 4. Blessings for Obedience (Verses 9–15) “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love…” (v.9) God's blessings include: •Multiplication of children and livestock •Prosperity in the land •Victory over enemies •Health and protection from diseases God ties obedience to covenant blessings—not as a transaction, but as a relationship. Obedience aligns Israel with the life God desires for them. Reflection: Obedience brings us into alignment with the fullness of life God desires. It is not about earning love but walking in the benefits of relationship. 5. Assurance of Victory (Verses 16–24) Moses reassures: do not fear the nations, no matter how powerful they seem. God will fight for them and deliver them into Israel's hands “little by little.” “Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.” (v.21) The “little by little” progression teaches patience and preparation. Sudden victory might leave the land unmanageable. Reflection: Victory in life is often progressive. God prepares us step by step, not all at once. Trust His timing. 6. Remove Every Snare (Verses 25–26) Moses warns against bringing anything detestable into their homes. Destruction is complete because idols are not neutral—they ensnare hearts. “Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction.” (v.26) Reflection: We must be vigilant about what we allow into our lives and homes. What seems small can be a doorway to compromise. Key Themes of Deuteronomy 7 •God's Sovereignty: He goes before His people, fights their battles, and secures their inheritance. •Covenant Love: God's choosing of Israel is an act of steadfast love, not human achievement. •Holiness and Separation: God calls His people to live distinctly, reflecting His holiness. •Victory Through Obedience: Walking in God's ways leads to flourishing and protection. •Diligence Against Compromise: Removing every idol and snare preserves covenant faithfulness. ⸻ Life Application Deuteronomy 7 is not just for ancient Israel; it speaks today - Remember that we are set apart for God's purposes. Do not fear challenges, for God fights for His people. Be vigilant against compromise in the small things. Trust God's timing in your journey. Celebrate God's choosing love—it is not earned but freely given. ⸻ Closing Prayer “Lord, thank You for Your faithful love and for choosing us to be Your people. Teach us to walk in holiness, trust in Your timing, and remove every snare from our lives. Help us to honor You in all we do, as we remember that victory belongs to You. Amen.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

How has Set Apart to Serve shaped how we think about full-time service in the church? The Rev. Dr. James Baneck (Executive Director, Pastoral Education, Set Apart to Serve) joins Andy and Sarah during Sharathon 2025 for our Set Apart to Serve series to discuss full-time church work, what he has been learning about how the church understands church work and formation, who he has been meeting as he makes visits for Set Apart to Serve, and how he has been seeing great partnerships continue to raise up future church workers. Learn more about Sharathon 2025 and give now at kfuo.org/sharathon. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation. To learn more about Set Apart to Serve, visit lcms.org/set-apart-to-serve. Have a topic you'd like to hear about on The Coffee Hour?

Fr. Mike points out how blessing something sets it apart for the purposes of God, and it is no longer meant for ordinary uses. So when we are filled with the spirit of God, our daily task becomes extraordinary, because it is consecrated to God. Today's readings are Exodus 30-31, Leviticus 22, and Psalm 115.
