Welcome! In this Introduction, I address the What & the Why of the Setting Apart Podcast; Whom it is for, and the genesis of which. From Scripture, we know that to be "holy" is to be "set-apart." The question then becomes: What does Holiness really mean? And how do we get there?
Taking a deep dive into the Biblical roots of Holiness, I kick off with 3 Bible verses, 3 paras from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), then examine a couple of quotes from a couple of Saints, pick the wisdom of some church fathers along the way, and reflect on them.
This is a big topic. But one that is fundamentally important for us to get a good foundation on ... as it relates to our Dignity & Identity as Children of God.
Looking ahead to Part 2 of the introduction, I explore how we can be "Perfected in Love;" and unpack the central theme of Baptism as it relates to how we are made set-part from above.
Happy listening!
