• Evil, Loss, and the Unshakable Kingdom: Responding to the Tragedy of Charlie Kirk | #47

  We pause our regular rhythm to process the heartbreaking murder of Charlie Kirk. With raw honesty and deep sorrow, we reflect on the weight of evil, the fragility of life, and the hope we cling to in Christ’s victory over sin and death. Together we wrestle with the “not yet” of ongoing pain and injustice, while holding fast to the “now” reality that Jesus is King and His kingdom cannot be shaken. Our hearts are with Erica, their children, and the entire family as we mourn, pray, and look to the cross where justice, love, and hope converge.

• 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.

• Two Banquets, Two Kingdoms: Mark 6 and the Clash Between Mission and Pride | #45

  Two banquets. Two kingdoms. Two radically different outcomes. In Mark 6, Jesus sends His disciples out with nothing but His authority—calling them to rely completely on God’s provision—while Herod throws a feast that spirals into manipulation, pride, and ultimately the death of John the Baptist. Zach and Jill Dasher unpack this powerful contrast, showing how one kingdom leads to life and mission, while the other ends in corruption and death. Along the way, they trace connections to the Old Testament priesthood, the staff of Moses, and the call for believers today to live as God’s temple, empowered by His Spirit and set apart for His purposes.

  Dumpster diving for unexpected treasures—you never know what you’ll find! In this episode, we dive into Mark 6:1-6, exploring Jesus’ rejection by His own people and what it teaches us about faith, doubt, and belonging.

These conversations remind us that faith isn’t just a transaction—it’s a relational, transformational journey with God, who is our ultimate prize. Tune in for powerful insights, surprising stories, and a fresh take on life, faith, and miracles.
