Finishing Strong: Solomon’s Warning for Families, Leaders, and Churches
Not Yet Now with Zach DasherShow Notes
How does someone who built the temple of God end up building high places for false gods? In this episode, Zach and Jill sit down for a shorter conversation about finishing strong, family legacy, and the sobering warning of Solomon’s life. Solomon began with wisdom, humility, power, and purpose. He was chosen to build the house of the Lord, a place where God’s presence would dwell among His people. But later in life, his affections shift. He clings to the wrong loves, partners with foreign gods, and the man who built the exalted house of the Lord eventually builds high places for idols.

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.
