Hear the heart behind Live Set Apart!® directly from Founder Valerie Kote-Tawia.
The Foundation of Live Set Apart!®
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10 NIV
We exist to encourage, equip, and empower Christians to walk boldly in faith and live their God-given purpose.
Meet Valerie Kote-Tawia
Thank you for visiting my site! Live Set Apart!® is a calling the Lord placed on my heart years ago—a directive I could never ignore. Inspired by Ephesians 2:10, which reminds us that we were created to do the good works God prepared in advance for us, I founded Live Set Apart!® to equip and empower believers to confidently walk in their God-given purpose.
Through creative digital content, media, and entertainment, I aim to sow inspiration, encouragement, and practical tools into your life. Live Set Apart!® is a movement dedicated to helping believers live boldly in faith, embrace their unique gifts, and shine Christ’s light in the world.
I am a believer, encourager, writer, and teacher at heart, with experience in young adult fiction, stage plays, video productions, and podcasting. My works include the stage play Would You Be Left?, Book One of the Set Apart YA series, hosting the Live Set Apart!® podcast, and creating the Live Set Apart!® Promise Journals for Women and Men.
My mission is to produce empowering, inspirational, and transformative work that equips believers to live set apart. There’s so much more to come—be sure to stay connected so you never miss a beat!
