Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Are you searching for something real in a culture with ever-shifting realities? I’m Zach Dasher, and I’m letting you in on a conversation about everything from culture, technology, and politics to morality, church failures, and how we can know what’s true and what’s not. How do we participate in a kingdom that’s already here but also to come? How do we live in the here and now of God’s love, power, and presence at the same time as we fix our eyes on the hope that awaits us? We don’t have all the answers, but we invite you to discover them with us on Not Yet Now.

Zach Dasher and Brandon Hudson plumb the depths of who God truly is and what it means to be a human being in a relationship with the triune God. They examine the difference between knowing about God and knowing him, where that knowledge leads, and how we know that God doesn’t call us to a numb and mundane existence but to abundance and life. Understanding what God was doing before Creation paints a perfect picture of who he is and his infinite capacity for love, joy, and peace. We are made in his image, and there is so much more to life with God. In this episode: The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis Delighting in the Trinity by Michael Reeves The Confessions of St. Augustine

Zach Dasher is joined by his wife, author Jill Dasher, to share a window into the spiritual conversations they’ve been having since she first fell in love with him at their college laundromat. Still reeling from the devastation of Hurricane Helene, Zach and Jill pull back the curtain on the raw feelings they experienced, the questions they had for God, and how they’ve seen God’s Kingdom moving in unexpected places. Jill reveals where she found extraordinary comfort in the wake of the storm. Zach shares his struggles with cynicism that stood in the way of sharing Jesus for years. Cynicism is one of the greatest enemies of developing an imagination for the Kingdom, but sincerity is the greatest antidote. When others witness the genuine love of Christ, that's when we see revival. In this episode: 1 Peter 3:15 1 Corinthians 2:9 John 13:35 2 Corinthians 3:8 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 2 Corinthians 3:1-6 John 10:10 John 6:51 The Bible Recap: https://www.thebiblerecap.com

Zach Dasher is joined by Brandon Hudson to welcome you into a life in God's kingdom. Humans are beings who desire. But what is desire? How does it shape us, and how are our desires shaped? Are some Christian beliefs just Buddhism by another name? Was C.S. Lewis right that our desires aren’t too strong but too weak? Why is suppressing desire unsustainable? What happens when we kick the demons out? Can our yearnings be redeemed and reoriented? God wants so much more for us. How can we begin to cultivate an imagination for transforming our desires and our lives?  In this episode: 1 Peter 2:9 Isaiah 43:21 John 17:3 The Buddhist Mood in Evangelicalism by Aaron M.

What does a life in God’s presence look like? Zach Dasher and Brandon Hudson explore how our view of God affects everything about our imagination and how we move through this world. Is it biblical to separate oneself from the physical world? What is God’s intention for our physical bodies? Is the material world inherently evil? How does a failure to pursue God’s presence lead to a fragmented human experience? How can we belong to the Kingdom of God and live in America? Is it wrong to engage with politics and culture? How does the gospel of sin management lead to a distorted view of God? And what’s really at the core of who God is? In this episode: 1 Corinthians 2:1-10 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 Romans 12:1 Hebrews 12:28 Ephesians 3:20 James 2:17 1 Corinthians 2:9-13 Romans 4:20 Romans 12:21  John 4:8 2 Corinthians 3:18 Philippians 1:21 Love Thy Body by Nancy Pearcey The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W.

Do you find it hard having conversations about controversial things? With the holiday season upon us, Zach and Jill Dasher and Brandon Hudson discuss how to have important conversations without dividing the family. Zach has a dream about Elon Musk and asks why Joe Rogan and the alternative media have been so influential. The discussion turns to the freedom only found in Christ. In this episode: 2 Corinthians 3:15-18 For the Life of the World by Alexander Shmemann

Truth isn’t just an idea—it’s a person. We’ll explore how the church has often avoided the hard conversations about truth and why stepping into those discussions is vital for our lives and society. Through the beauty of creation and the authority of Scripture, we’ll see how God reveals Himself and invites us to know Him—not with blind faith, but with a faith that is tangible, real, and life-changing. Together, we’ll wrestle with the complexities of God, the implications of truth in a world that often rejects it, and how experiencing love connects us to His divine revelation. If you’re longing for conversations that challenge, inspire, and draw you closer to the heart of God, this podcast is for you. Let’s rediscover the power of truth—together. In This Epidsode: On Fairy Stores by J. R. R. Tolkien Romans 1:18-20 Romans 2:14-16 2 Peter 1:16-19 Psalm 1:1-2 1 Peter 1:3 Letters By A Modern Mystic by Frank C. Laubach

How do we know what we know? What are the implications of truth in a postmodern world? Zach and Brandon dive into the fascinating world of epistemology — the study of knowledge and truth. They tackle pressing topics like threats to the kingdom of God, the influence of naturalism on our understanding of reality, and the ongoing tension between subjective and objective truth. With a focus on aligning what is real, this discussion sheds light on the consequences of living in a divided truth and offers insights for navigating today’s complex intellectual landscape.

In this episode, Zach Dasher sits down with Jordan and Venessa Hall to share their incredible journey to discovering the beauty of life in Christ. From the high-tech hustle of Silicon Valley to the remote corners of Ecuador and the tranquil mountains of North Carolina, the Halls embarked on a relentless quest for a utopian way of life. Their search led them through every philosophy under the sun, from Eastern spirituality to the mind-altering world of psychedelics, yet each path left them unfulfilled. Finally, exhausted from striving, they found the answer they had been seeking in communion with God. Their story is a compelling testament to the transformative power of surrendering to Christ and discovering life in His Kingdom. Don’t miss this powerful conversation about searching, surrender, and the abundant life found in Jesus. In this episode: Revelation 12:11 Acts 17:24-28 Romans 2:6-7

The Dasher kids join Zach and Jill to share some memories, tell family stories, and get to the bottom of who the real culprit is behind the family’s tardiness! The conversation turns to what truly transforms everything — Emmanuel, God with us. The family shares what this truth means to them, reflecting on how the power of God's presence fills their lives with joy that far exceeds the excitement of gifts.  To wrap up the episode, enjoy a touching performance of "Carolina Christmas," a special song written by Zach’s oldest children. Prepare to laugh, reflect, and sing along with the family as they celebrate the true spirit of the season.
