Show Notes
After a much-needed sabbatical, Zach and Jill return to the Not Yet Now podcast reflecting on rest, family rhythms, and what it means to unplug from the “matrix.” From there, the conversation moves deep into Mark 10:32–45—a passage that radically redefines power, glory, and greatness in the Kingdom of God. As Jesus walks resolutely toward His own suffering and death, James and John ask for seats of honor in His glory. What follows is a stunning collision between the kingdom of man and the kingdom of God. Zach and Jill explore how humanity’s instinct for power and position clashes with Jesus’ vision of dominion through service, authority through sacrifice, and glory through the cross. This episode wrestles honestly with ambition, leadership, discipleship, and the deep longing to live a life that matters—while exposing the lie that fulfillment is found in control or status. Instead, Jesus offers a different way: the cruciform life, where greatness is found in serving, and true dominion looks nothing like domination. A rich, pastoral, and deeply theological conversation about power, suffering, glory, and what it really means to follow Jesus in the way of the Kingdom.

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.
