Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher

• A Divine Encounter: Unveiling the Glory of the Transfiguration | #56

  Experience a divine moment that transforms everything you thought you knew about God and faith! Join Zach Dasher, Jill, and Branden as we explore Mark 9 and the powerful event of the Transfiguration, where Jesus radiates uncreated light alongside Moses and Elijah, symbolizing the Law and the Prophets. We’ll unpack the significance of God's declaration, “This is my beloved Son—listen to Him,” and how it shifts our understanding of the Kingdom of God from a distant promise to a present reality.  Together, we'll reflect on why some listeners would witness this transformational power—pointing to the Pentecost—and the way “Jesus only” reshapes our view of discipleship, mission, and sacred spaces in our lives. From the echoes of Sinai to the beauty of living as a mobile sanctuary, this episode reveals how the mountain experience prepares us for love at the cross. If you’ve struggled with performance-based faith, anxiety, or external pressures, this conversation invites you to center your life around the Person of Jesus—encouraging you to listen to Him and carry His presence into your daily world.

• Active, Not Reactive: Reed & Brighton Robertson on Seeking the Kingdom | #55

  Zach and Jill welcome family (and fan favorites) Reed & Brighton Robertson for a vulnerable, joy-filled conversation about moving from a reactive life to actively seeking the Kingdom—in marriage, parenting, community, and grief. From growing up amid Duck Dynasty fame to soldering LED panels for $14/hour, Reed opens up about identity, pressure, and how the Holy Spirit met them in the ordinary. Brighton shares candidly about losing her father, then later her niece and nephew, and how that unimaginable sorrow reshaped their faith, purpose, and pace. Together they wrestle with the “already and not yet” of the Kingdom, temple imagery, and why Jesus’ resurrection in the flesh changes how we live today. If you’re longing for direction, community, or courage to live on offense—not defense—this one’s for you. In this episode: • Family, fame, and finding identity beyond a TV moment • Seek first the Kingdom (Matthew 6) as a daily, active posture • When grief hits: hope, honesty, and the Spirit who sustains (Romans 8) • The tension of Kingdom now & Kingdom coming (Hebrews 12; Ephesians 2; 1 & 2 John) • Why bodies matter: incarnation, resurrection, and temple language • Marriage, kids, and how God uses family to sanctify our loves • Choosing intentional community over isolation

• The Confession That Shakes Hell: Seeing Clearly with Jesus (Mark 8) | #54

  In Mark 8, everything converges: blurry sight, bold confession, and a Kingdom that hell itself can’t stop. Zach Dasher and Branden unpack one of Scripture’s hinge moments—Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ—and why Jesus’ reply, “On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it,” still defines reality. From the staged healing at Bethsaida to the confrontation “Get behind me, Satan,” this episode traces how revelation becomes revolution. What happens when our vision of the Kingdom shifts from power and control to self-giving love? How does the cross redefine dominion? Drawing on weddings that became living parables of community and sacrificial love, Zach and Branden challenge the defensive posture of modern Christianity and recover the explosive confidence of a Church that storms the gates of hell.

• The God Who Provides in the Desert | #53

  Zach and Jill reflect on the feeding of the 4,000 in Mark 8, where Jesus—now among the Gentiles—reenacts the Exodus story in a new wilderness. Just as manna once fell from heaven, bread now multiplies in the hands of the Messiah, revealing that God’s presence is never barren ground. In this conversation, they explore how the abundance of bread points to the abundance of grace—showing that when God provides, He provides more than enough.

• 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?)
