Set Apart & Called

In this episode, we explore how Jesus honors broken and repentant hearts while confronting religious pride. Through Luke 7, John 8, Psalm 51, and Romans 12, we contrast humility with condemnation and examine how renewed minds shape the way believers respond to sinners who come to Christ.And for clickable linksLuke 7:36–50 → https://www.bible.com/bible/111/luk.7.36-50.NIVJohn 8:1–11 → https://www.bible.com/bible/111/jhn.8.1-11.NIVPsalm 51 → https://www.bible.com/bible/111/psa.51.NIVRomans 12:1–3 → https://www.bible.com/bible/111/rom.12.1-3.NIV

We all know the story of the prodigal son, or at least we think we do.But what if the real question isn’t who left…It’s who you’ve become in the story.In this episode, we go beyond the surface and uncover the heart behind the prodigal son parable, not just the one who ran, but the one who stayed and still drifted.This conversation isn’t about rebellion.It’s about pride, shame, independence, religion, and the quiet ways we distance ourselves from God, even while staying close.Jesus didn’t tell this story to expose sinners.He told it to reveal hearts.Whether you’ve walked away from God, stayed in the house but grown resentful, or are battling condemnation, this episode is an invitation to come home, not to a place, but to the Father.No performance.No perfection.Just restoration.

My Life Fell Apart… Then the Holy Spirit CameIn today’s episode, I’m opening up about the season of my life where everything collapsed, emotionally, mentally, spiritually.I was alone in a foreign country, heartbroken, lost in depression, drowning in anxiety, and searching for love and identity in all the wrong places. I wasn’t seeking God… but He was already seeking me.And then, in the middle of my wilderness, the Holy Spirit showed up.One ordinary day, while “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” was playing, I felt a presence that completely shattered the darkness I was living in. That moment became the turning point, the moment Jesus began pulling me back to Him.In this episode, I walk you through:• how I drifted away• how heartbreak and isolation broke me• how the Holy Spirit met me unexpectedly• how Jesus healed the wounds I tried to hide• how God used scripture to reveal my callingThis testimony is raw, honest, and real, and I pray that as you listen, you feel the same presence that found me when I least deserved it.Welcome to “Set Apart & Called”… this is where the journey begins.
