Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher

Truth isn’t just an idea—it’s a person. We’ll explore how the church has often avoided the hard conversations about truth and why stepping into those discussions is vital for our lives and society.Through the beauty of creation and the authority of Scripture, we’ll see how God reveals Himself and invites us to know Him—not with blind faith, but with a faith that is tangible, real, and life-changing. Together, we’ll wrestle with the complexities of God, the implications of truth in a world that often rejects it, and how experiencing love connects us to His divine revelation.If you’re longing for conversations that challenge, inspire, and draw you closer to the heart of God, this podcast is for you. Let’s rediscover the power of truth—together.In This Epidsode:On Fairy Stores by J. R. R.

Zach Dasher is joined by Brandon Hudson to welcome you into a life in God's kingdom. Humans are beings who desire. But what is desire? How does it shape us, and how are our desires shaped? Are some Christian beliefs just Buddhism by another name? Was C.S. Lewis right that our desires aren’t too strong but too weak? Why is suppressing desire unsustainable? What happens when we kick the demons out? Can our yearnings be redeemed and reoriented? God wants so much more for us. How can we begin to cultivate an imagination for transforming our desires and our lives? In this episode:1 Peter 2:9Isaiah 43:21John 17:3The Buddhist Mood in Evangelicalism by Aaron M.
