Raise your hand if you would like more set apart time for Yahuah… Would you like more time to focus and meditate on who He is? Do you sometimes feel defeated and distracted and wish you had more time to focus on His Word? Just a few weeks ago, I sent out a survey to my my email subscribers, and I asked them what they found was lacking most in their worship experience and their personal devotional life. Two things came up over and over again in their responses.
The first thing that people mentioned was lacking the most in their devotional life was set apart music. The second thing was set apart time. Set-apart Music, and Set-apart time. Two things we need a lot more of. If you agree with those sentiments and wish you could have more of either or both, leave a comment at the bottom of this blog post. I’m sure that you are not alone.
Many of you lead very busy lives. With work, school, family, or all of the above and more, it can seem like there is always SO MUCH going on. Praise Yah for the Shabbat, but apart from that special day, do you feel like you have everything you need to continue growing on our spiritual journey from day to day? Or do you just wish you could have some more time to sit down, recharge, and refocus.
A wise person once said to me, time management is a fallacy. You can’t manage time, you can only manage what you choose to do with it. There will always be 24 hrs in a day- you can’t add any more no matter how hard you try. So how much of that time will you choose to spend with Yahuah?
If you’re struggling to keep everything in balance, sometimes it can help to have support. Yahuah Acoustics Vol.1 is FINALLY here. I recorded this set apart acoustic music for you so that you can get access to music and motivation any time you need some encouragement.
If you’re stressed at work, taking a 5 min break to listen to the music on this recording can help to bring you back to the place of peace where you need to be. Or if you need to unwind after a stressful day and you can’t find the words to pray, this recording will help you do that. This music is a tool that you can easily fit into your schedule, anytime, and anywhere you choose. The end result is that this music will bring your heart back to a place of worship.
If you’re an email subscriber and you’ve been waiting for this, you know exactly what to expect. Yahuah Acoustics Vol.1 is 20 mins of acoustic set apart music to help you focus on Yahuah and keep your mind stayed on Him. Many of the lyrics come straight from the scriptures, and as you go through your day, those lyrics will come right back to the top of your mind so you can live them out through your heart.

Guess what? I have good news. I’m VERY close to finishing the long-awaited recording that many of you have been asking me about! It’s entitled “Yahuah Acoustics. Vol.1.” This recording has been an ongoing work in progress for over 4 months now. There have been many ups and downs behind the scenes, but Yahuah is good. Finally all the pieces have come together and the project will be released in early December, 2014. That’s in just a few weeks! Wanna see a sneak peek of the cover photo? It’s pictured on the left.
This recording will be entirely focused on the music and the message that Yahuah has given to encourage and inspire YOU. The songs you already know and love from the setapartheart.com blog will finally be available for you to enjoy off-line, wherever you are, whenever you want to – instead of just on YouTube.
HOWEVER, I do need your help. Before everything is finalized, I’d like to make sure that your needs and desires are taken care of. I feel like I’ve gotten to know a lot of you through email correspondence and social media, but truly, most of us have never met face to face, and I don’t want to make assumptions.
So This is where YOU come in. Please take a few minutes to answer the super- short survey below. There are only three questions (YAY!) Feel free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing…. Thanks in advance for your participation.
SUPER SHORT SURVEY: YOUR MUSIC. YOUR JOURNEY.
The survey has been removed. thank you to those who participated!

I will be reading every single response to better understand your needs and your music preferences. If you’re excited about the release coming out in just a few weeks, feel free to leave a comment on the blog below!

Hi, it’s me Hadarah…. I’ve been putting off doing this blog post for quite a while… but it’s time.
There is much MORE to understand about faith and spirituality than what Christians, Jews, or any other organized religion is currently teaching. I’ve posted a video below to share some of the reasons why I no longer consider myself a Christian. If you’re not in the mood for reading today, just skip to the video below and you can watch that instead.
Disclaimer Nothing that I say in this video is spoken with the intent to defame or blame any particular individual person or religious group. I am simply telling my story in an effort to encourage those of you who may be on a similar journey, and to clarify the answers for those of you who have questions about what I believe. Since I started posting music videos here on the blog, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my beliefs. This video is simply my way of sharing more of what I believe with all of you.
I have been a Seventh-day Adventist Christian for my entire life up until maybe about a year ago and a half ago. If you know anything about the SDA Church, you know that they claim to be a peculiar people because they worship on the Seventh day Sabbath and they don’t subsscribe to many of the beliefs that most popular Christian Churches believe today. The SDA church teaches a lot of truth, A LOT of truth. But there is still much MORE truth in the scriptures that even the SDA Church will not discuss.
I personally had to step outside of this social club that we call church in order to see and understand that there is indeed more truth. In the video below I would like to share with you just a couple of points that touch on why I am no longer a Christian. I don’t claim to have everything in my spiritual life sorted out, but I do feel solid about the points that I will be sharing with you today. Most of these points apply to Christianity as a whole, but some will also apply to the SDA Church. See the video below.
If you’re not able to watch the video above right now, this is, in short, what I believe:
- I believe in the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation
- I believe that there should not be a devision between the old and new “testament”
- I believe that the covenant Yahuah made with His people is everlasting and that His promises are still true
- I do NOT believe that the Christian Church has replaced the nation of Israel.
- I believe that Christianity blows love and grace out of proportion.
- I believe that grace and mercy can not exist without the law.
- I believe that The Scriptures is a book about Hebrew People
- I believe that Deuteronomy 28 especially verse 64-68, gives us a clear understanding of who the Hebrews are today
- I believe that Israel is comprised of the natural born seed and those who choose to be grafted in
- I believe that Yahuah and His only brought-forth Son Yahusha should be called by their true set apart names, not by the titles Lord, God, or the mistranslated name of Jesus.
- I believe the concept of the Trinity doesn’t even scratch the surface of who our Creator really is.
- I believe that Christmas, Easter, and Halloween are days that Yahuah’s covenant keeping people should take no part in.
- I believe that we should be learning how to celebrate Yahuah’s Feast Days and that just like the 7th day Sabbath they are a mark or sign of the covenant that Yahuah has made with His people.
This is not by any means an exhaustive list of what I believe. But I do hope it helps to clarify for those who want to know. And mostly I pray it’s an encouragement for those of you who are on a journey too. If you have questions feel free to leave a comment! If you’re curious about how this journey started, I tell that story on my about page. Sending much love.
-Hadarah Batyah.

Hi there, I’m Hadarah Batyah. I sincerely believe that in order to have a spiritual walk that is authentic and true, the Word of Yahuah must be written on the inside of our hearts. That's why I write scripture songs and set apart music. Although I don’t have everything in my spiritual life all figured out, I know that Yahuah gave me the gift of music to serve Him and encourage your heart. I pray you'll be inspired by what you see on this blog. If you're curious and wanna know more- I tell it all on the
