Show Notes
Zach admits something right out of the gate: he doesn’t do well with passive-aggressive people—and then Mark 12 confronts us with a Jesus who can feel surprisingly aggressive.
But is Jesus being harsh, or is He being clear?
In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon step into Mark 12 and talk about the tension every believer has to learn: leaving real room for the Holy Spirit to move, without trying to manufacture what only God can do.
They unpack how the parable in this chapter exposes a subtle drift: when people start acting like they own what they were only ever entrusted to steward, they forget where they came from.
They also talk about, why we have to learn to cherish the small moments of cultivation, not just the big, unforgettable ones
We’re grateful for the big moments. We just don’t want to train people to believe God only moves in big moments.
Passage: Mark 12

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.
