Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher

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.

    Reflections by the Fire: A Year of Not Yet Now | #52

    One year in—52 episodes—and I’m honestly grateful you’re here. This little show has become a place where I (Zach) get to slow down, reflect, and share what’s been stirring in my heart—something I don’t always get to do elsewhere. When we walked in to record our anniversary episode, Jill had us gathered by the fireplace for a quick photo, and it hit me: this hasn’t just been content; it’s been community. From the guys who showed up early to church and said, “We watch Not Yet Now,” to the young man who drove from Nashville and told me, “Christ didn’t come to get us out of hell; He came to get the hell out of us,” you’ve reminded us why these conversations matter. In this episode, we look back on how the past year has shaped us—how a line from a friend’s wedding made us rethink what it means to “help each other get to heaven,” and how a simple family reset around Matthew 6:33 reminded us that seeking the Kingdom now changes the way we love each other right here, today. We trace Isaiah 35 into Mark 7, seeing that Jesus’ healings weren’t just proofs—they were previews of a world being made new. It’s part theology, part laughter, part honest reflection—a year of learning out loud. We’ve sighed, questioned, laughed, and marveled at what God is doing among us. If these conversations have helped you see Scripture—and your place in it—a little clearer, that’s the win. Here’s to more courage, more grace, and more of His Kingdom showing up right where we live. (And yes… Mark 8 is on deck. Can He do it again?)

    From Dogs to Daughters: A Story of Grace in Mark 7 | #51

    What if the most jarring word from Jesus—“dogs”—is actually the doorway to healing and an unshakable Kingdom? In this week’s Not Yet Now episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon start with lighthearted banter about matching outfits, mountain weather, and upcoming weddings—but quickly turn to Mark 7 and one of the most uncomfortable passages in the Gospels: Jesus’ interaction with the Syrophoenician woman. As the team unpacks the text, they trace how Mark intentionally moves from food laws to the tearing down of ethnic and cultural walls. Jesus’ shocking words to this woman—calling her a “dog”—weren’t meant to demean but to reveal, exposing the reality of separation so that grace could bridge the divide. Her humble, desperate reply becomes a living picture of faith: “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the table.” From there, the conversation widens into modern implications—how we engage a culture that often feels like “enemy territory,” how to see others through the lens of the Imago Dei, and how Jesus exposes us not to shame us, but to redeem us. The crew explores the freedom that comes when we stop defending ourselves and start receiving grace. They remind listeners that the Church is never under threat, that the Kingdom of God cannot be shaken, and that humility—not hostility—is the posture of those who have tasted the bread of life. It’s a deeply honest conversation about pride, exposure, redemption, and the transforming reality that Jesus reveals to heal, not to humiliate.

    Green Pastures in a Desolate Place The Kingdom in the Wilderness: Mark 6 Explained | #46

    A wilderness, five thousand hungry people, and a Shepherd who provides. In this episode of Not Yet Now, Zach, Jill, and Brandon dive into Mark 6 and the miraculous feeding of the five thousand. More than a story about multiplying bread and fish, this moment reveals the heart of God, the mission of Jesus, and the abundance of the Kingdom breaking into a desolate place. Why does Jesus lead his disciples into the wilderness, a place of scarcity, only to meet them there with overflowing provision? What does this miracle reveal about His compassion, His teaching, and His role as the Good Shepherd? And how does it connect to the Exodus, Ezekiel 34, Psalm 23, and the greater story of God dwelling with His people? The conversation explores: • The “desolate place” as wilderness language, echoing Israel’s journey. • Jesus fulfilling Old Testament prophecies as the true Shepherd of His people. • The abundance of God’s Kingdom breaking through scarcity. • The importance of Jesus’ teaching before the miracle of provision. • How eschatology—our view of the end—shapes how we live in the present. • Why the desert becomes Eden when the King is present. The feeding of the five thousand is not just about physical bread; it’s about the Shepherd who restores, provides, and brings rest to His people. In Christ, scarcity becomes abundance, wilderness becomes green pasture, and every desolate place overflows with life.
