Show Notes
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 how it's a picture of how the Kingdom wins: not through force, but through cruciform love.

Church hurt can leave behind resentment, confusion, and the temptation to walk away entirely. But what does it look like to let grace have the final word?
What if Christianity is more than believing the right things and waiting to leave this world? In this episode, Zach and Brandon discuss a recurring tension: God does the work, but He also invites His people to participate. That means the Christian life is not passive, private, or disembodied. It is lived out in real time, in real places, with real people. They talk about the local church, the incarnation, the “one another” commands, and why salvation cannot be reduced to “Jesus died for my sins so one day I can get out of here.” Jesus came in the flesh. He values the physical world. He sends the Spirit. He creates a people. And He invites us into the actual life of God.
From a hilarious debate over ear hair and potential razor sponsorships to a viral vocal debut that caught the attention of Randy Travis himself, this episode of Not Yet Now kicks off with plenty of laughs. But we don't stay on the surface for long—we quickly pivot to the powerful, real-life miracles unfolding in our community.
