Do you find it hard having conversations about controversial things?

The discussion turns to the freedom only found in Christ.In this episode:2 Corinthians 3:15-18For the Life of the World by Alexander Shmemann

Zach Dasher and Brandon Hudson plumb the depths of who God truly is and what it means to be a human being in a relationship with the triune God. They examine the difference between knowing about God and knowing him, where that knowledge leads, and how we know that God doesn’t call us to a numb and mundane existence but to abundance and life. Understanding what God was doing before Creation paints a perfect picture of who he is and his infinite capacity for love, joy, and peace. We are made in his image, and there is so much more to life with God.In this episode:The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. TozerThe Great Divorce by C.S. LewisDelighting in the Trinity by Michael ReevesThe Confessions of St. Augustine

Explore how our view of God influences our imagination and daily life. Is the physical world inherently evil? Discover the significance of embracing God’s presence and creating a holistic Christian worldview that values creation. The hosts dive into the complexities of engaging faith with politics and culture, emphasizing the importance of integration. Unpack the gospel of sin management versus a life rooted in God's love, and reimagine the afterlife as a community of growth and deep relationships. Understand eternal life as a present experience reflecting Christ's mission.

In this engaging conversation, Jill Dasher, an author and Zach Dasher's wife, shares insights from her journey of faith and resilience. They discuss the emotional aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the profound questions they faced about God’s presence in hardship. Jill reveals where she found unexpected comfort, while Zach confronts his struggles with cynicism, emphasizing sincerity as a remedy. Together, they highlight the transformative power of genuine love in fostering spiritual growth and community connections.

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.

Are you searching for something real in a culture with ever-shifting realities? I’m Zach Dasher, and I’m letting you in on a conversation about everything from culture, technology, and politics to morality, church failures, and how we can know what’s true and what’s not. How do we participate in a kingdom that’s already here but also to come? How do we live in the here and now of God’s love, power, and presence at the same time as we fix our eyes on the hope that awaits us? We don’t have all the answers, but we invite you to discover them with us on Not Yet Now.Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/not-yet-now-with-zach-dasher/id1770712976Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5AfQIyrbRtYuQNN9kIqFw1iHeart: https://iheart.com/podcast/238399575/Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dasherzach?sub_confirmation=1
