Shalom! The Setting Apart Podcast is about us being true to who and what we are: we are made set-apart from above – to live out the fullness of Christian life deeply and wholeheartedly. And on it you will find all things from my personal journey looking through the lens of faith – as I open up my vulnerability so that, by the Grace of God, my brokenness may be healed. You should listen because we are not perfect, but we can be Perfected in Love. In your 'desert' moment, may you find comfort in the camaraderie the show provides – with a deposit of nourishment & enlightenment to egg you on in yours; or simply an encouraging voice to let you know that: “Hey, you know what? You are not alone!” Let’s do this together.

S02E16 Fear and Burial (Tobit Ch.14 - Finale)
In this Season Finale, I unpack 2 key questions revolving Life and Death for Christians from Tobit Ch.14:
1) What does the “fear of the Lord” mean to you today? In what ways is it a virtue, and how does it fulfil the New Covenant?
2) What is the significance of a "proper burial?” What is the purpose of a funeral? How does the deceased and the living benefit from it? And what expressions of Hope should be evident at a funeral for Christians?
The Bible I am reading from is the New American Bible or the NAB online version taken from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops or the USCCB website: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/tobit/14. For the Book of Tobit, I also refer to the online version of the Douay-Rheims Bible – which is a translation from the Latin Vulgate, whereas the NAB is translated from the Septuagint or the Greek version.

S02E15 How to move forward when tested? (Tobit Ch.13)
In this episode, to address the question, "How to move forward when tested?" I reflect on some key questions from the Book of Tobit:
Can a sin, and hence its punishment, be passed down from one generation to another? How does "original sin" transmit to us from Adam & Eve? How should we move forward wth suffering?How do we minister those who are suffering?

S02E13 Are We Blind? (Tobit Ch.11)
In this episode, the two themes/ideas that struck me the most from reading Tobit Chapter 11 are: 1) Reaction of the father, and 2) Tobit's blindness. The Suscipe Prayer from St Ignatius Loyola is the closing prayer.

S02E12 Worrying over nothing? (Tobit Ch.10)
In this episode, Tobiah is finally making his way home. Meanwhile, his parents are worried and getting more anxious by the day not knowing why the delay. Here are some of my reflections:
1) Recall the times when you were caught between your faith and blindness, just like Tobit in Ch.10? How were the matters resolved?
2) How deep is your faith that God provides for our needs?
3) What does Jesus mean in Mt 6:24, "No one can serve two masters." Is Jesus denying the reality of our human needs?
4) How is Marriage the image of God's love?
... More reflection questions in the Show Notes below.

S02 E11 Money, Money, Money!!!
In Ch.9 of this episode, we shall see that Tobiah’s “faith” in Raphael has deepened into “trust.” We also get to unpack some of the richness in signs & symbols in the Book of Tobit: 1) What does the marriage of Tobiah & Sarah symbolize? 2) What does the money in Ch.9 symbolize? 3) What is the significance of the seal on the moneybags in verse 5 of Tb 9?
