Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher

Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher

Welcome to Not Yet Now, a podcast where we explore the tension of living in the "already, not yet" reality of God's kingdom. Together, we'll dive into how Christ's reign is breaking into our world today, even as we long for its complete fulfillment. Join us as we reflect on how this dynamic shapes our culture, our lives, and our calling to live in the light of the kingdom that is both here and still to come.

What do you do when you feel too weak, insecure, or inadequate to keep going? In this episode, Zach and Jill sit down after a heavy week and talk honestly about what it feels like to serve, teach, lead, parent, and follow Jesus when you don’t feel strong. Instead of pretending, they turn to Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, where the power of the gospel is located not in eloquence, strategy, charisma, or human wi...

What do you do when you realize your heart has drifted? After discussing Solomon’s failure to finish strong, Zach and Jill continue the conversation with the pathway back: confession. Solomon’s legacy shows how devastating it can be when a heart turns away from the Lord. The kings after him repeat the same tragic pattern, doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord, and the temple Solomon built eventually ends in destru...

How does someone who built the temple of God end up building high places for false gods? In this episode, Zach and Jill sit down for a shorter conversation about finishing strong, family legacy, and the sobering warning of Solomon’s life. Solomon began with wisdom, humility, power, and purpose. He was chosen to build the house of the Lord, a place where God’s presence would dwell among His people. But lat...

In Mark 16, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome go to the tomb with spices to anoint Jesus’ body. They love Him. They are faithful. They show up when others have scattered. But they are still expecting a corpse. Their question is simple: “Who will roll away the stone?” And when they arrive, the stone has already been moved. In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon talk abo...

What does Scripture have to do with politics, culture, America, and how we live in public? In this episode, Zach and Brandon pause before finishing the Gospel of Mark to discuss a timely and complicated question: How should Christians think about authority, culture, Christian nationalism, and the public witness of the church? The conversation begins with the authority of Scripture, and what happens when God’s Word confr...

Ashley joins the podcast for the first time, and the conversation turns toward something many people know too well: church hurt. But instead of using that phrase as a blanket accusation against the whole body of Christ, Zach, Jill, Brandon, and Ashley discuss what it really means to be hurt by broken people inside the church, and how Jesus can still heal what people damaged. They share pieces of their own stories: c...

We talk often about the death and resurrection of Jesus, but what about His burial? In this episode, Zach and Jill discuss why Jesus' burial is not just an “in-between” moment. It is part of the gospel itself: death, burial, and resurrection. Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council who was looking for the Kingdom of God, takes courage and asks Pilate for the body of Jesus. And the women, Mary Magdalene...

In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon discuss why the cross is bigger than a one-time transaction. In Mark 15:21–39, Jesus is led to Golgotha, mocked by the crowd, crucified between two criminals, and abandoned in darkness. He cries out the opening line of Psalm 22: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” And then, when He breathes His last, the curtain of the temple is torn from top to bottom. ...

Jackie and Cynthia survived one of the most devastating floods in recent memory. When Hurricane Helene tore through Western North Carolina, their home was destroyed, and they were swept away in raging floodwaters with only a mattress and their little dog, Romeo, keeping them alive. For three days they waited in the wreckage, praying for rescue and wondering if they would ever make it home. What happened next changed their lives f...

In Mark 15:1–20, Jesus stands before Pilate, accused, mocked, and handed over. Pilate knows what’s happening, but still caves because he wishes to satisfy the crowd. In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon discuss Barabbas going free, Jesus being mocked, and how envy and people-pleasing build rival kingdoms that always end in death. Mark 15 is a chasm where the “kingdom collision” becomes unavoidable, and h...

In Mark 14:66–72, Peter denies Jesus three times, not in front of a king or a soldier, but in front of a servant girl. The denials escalate, the fear takes over, and when the rooster crows, Peter collapses and weeps bitterly. In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon break down why Peter’s denial exposes how fragile human willpower really is, and why the hope isn’t Peter’s resolve, it’s Jesus ...

In Mark 14:53–65, Zach, Jill and Brandon break down when Jesus stood before the high priest and the full council. Witnesses can’t keep their stories straight. They twist His words about the temple. And Jesus stays silent, until this question: "Are You The Christ?" Jesus answers, “I am.” And then He ties together the deepest threads of Scripture, Daniel 7’s Son of Man, Psalm 110’s “right han...

Right after the Lord’s Supper and Gethsemane, the betrayal happens and it’s bigger than most people imagine. In Mark 14:43–52, Judas arrives with a crowd carrying swords and clubs. His “sign” isn’t a weapon, it’s a kiss. Peter responds as the kingdoms of this world do: he draws his sword. And then, when things get real, everyone runs. In this episode, Zach and Jill unpack how both betr...

Max and Annabel are in town, and it’s wedding week! In this conversation, Zach and Jill sit down with them to talk about what it actually feels like to step into a lifelong covenant at 19 and 20, why modern culture discourages marriage, and why they believe covenant is still one of the most beautiful, grounding gifts God gave humanity. It’s funny, honest, and deeply hopeful: especially for young couples trying to ...

A break from the usual, Zach and Jill sit down with two of their longtime mentors and friends, Mac and Mary Owens (Global Directors of Celebrate Recovery). It’s a raw, powerful conversation about the cost of secrecy, the freedom of confession, and how God can take the darkest parts of a story and turn them into the DNA of a movement that blesses generations. If you’re stuck in the shame cycle, hiding, or convinced you&...

Today Zach & Jill visit one of the most human, and most holy, moments in the Gospel of Mark. In Mark 14:26–42, Jesus leaves the table, returns to the Mount of Olives, and enters Gethsemane. He tells the disciples they will all fall away. Peter insists he never will. And then Jesus does the unthinkable: He falls to the ground and prays for the cup to pass, while choosing the Father’s will anyway.

Brandon’s back, just in time for one of the most important meals in Scripture where Jesus sits down with the disciples for Passover. Zach, Jill, and Brandon discuss why meals are everywhere in the Bible (from Eden to Exodus to the King’s table), and why communion isn’t just a “symbol” or a routine, it’s a weekly entrance into the story that forms our loves, confronts our pride, and binds us to on...

Mark 14 opens with a dark cloud: the leaders are plotting in secret, Judas is looking for an opportunity, and Jesus is days away from the cross. But right in the middle of it, a woman walks into a dinner and does something that looks reckless—an act that ends up becoming one of the most prophetic in the entire Gospel. In this episode, Zach and Jill walk through Mark 14 and show why this isn’t just “sentimenta...

Jill has almost no voice, and Brandon is out. Zach and Jill finish Mark 13 with one of the most discussed moments in the Gospels. They read Mark 13:24–37 and ask the big question: Is Jesus describing a future headline event, or is He pulling from Old Testament “apocalyptic” language and pointing to something the disciples would recognize—especially through Daniel 7? They pull the discussion to the ultim...

Mark 13 has been turned into a hotbed for end-times debates for decades—but Jesus’ warning is far more grounded, far more urgent, and far more hopeful than most people realize. In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon continue through Mark 13:14–23 and tackle one of the most debated sections in Scripture—not as an end-times scavenger hunt, but in the immediate context of Jesus’ warning about ...
