Show Notes
Jackie and Cynthia survived one of the most devastating floods in recent memory. When Hurricane Helene tore through Western North Carolina, their home was destroyed, and they were swept away in raging floodwaters with only a mattress and their little dog, Romeo, keeping them alive.
For three days they waited in the wreckage, praying for rescue and wondering if they would ever make it home.
What happened next changed their lives forever.
In this powerful conversation, Jackie and Cynthia share their incredible survival story, the kindness of strangers who stepped in to help, and how losing everything ultimately led them to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
This is a story of faith, perseverance, and hope in the middle of unimaginable loss.

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.
