In episode 100, Zach, Jill, and Brandon reflect on Psalm 100, the freedom of being the sheep of a good Shepherd, and the long game of faithfulness. Sometimes you don’t see the fruit right away. Sometimes you may not see it this side of eternity. But the faithful witness keeps showing up again and again, trusting that the steadfast love of the Father endures forever and His faithfulness is to all generations. After 100 episodes, Not Yet Now is taking a little season—a break, a breather—to reimagine what comes next. We’re not going away. Thank you for sticking with us.

What has dominion over you?

Zach and Jill look at the story of the golden calf in Deuteronomy and what it reveals about idolatry, sin, and our tendency to let created things take control of our lives. From addiction and image to control, success, and self-preservation, idols rarely stay things we simply enjoy—they eventually begin to rule us.

But the answer isn’t simply trying harder. In Christ, we’re invited back into communion with God, where the things that once controlled us can be put to death and redeemed life can begin again.

The best time to start may have been years ago. The second best time is right now.

Grace After Church Hurt: Forgiveness, Faithfulness, and a Lifetime of Formation | #98 Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

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?

Zach sits down with his dad to look back on a life shaped by legalism, ministry, failure, forgiveness, and decades of being formed by the Word of God. Their story is a reminder that spiritual growth doesn’t happen all at once—and that God can keep reshaping us through every season of life.

Even after disappointment. Even after hurt. Even after years have passed.

Jesus Didn’t Save You Into Isolation: The Local Church and Real Participation | #97 Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

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.

Unless the Lord Builds the House: Finding Purpose in the Toil | #96 Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

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.

In this episode, we share the incredible story of the "Mattress Sisters" and how a chance encounter at a Kentucky Fried Chicken led to a divine provision that left us speechless. These stories of survival and grace set the stage for a deeper look at what it truly means to build a life that lasts.

We dive into Psalm 127 to unpack the difference between "anxious toil" and building a legacy under the guidance of the Lord. Whether you feel like your past has been a mess or you’re simply looking to pass down something meaningful to the next generation, this conversation is for you. We discuss why it’s never too late to start building the right way and how to shift your focus from chasing "shiny toys" to cultivating a life of generational faithfulness.

If you’re ready to stop laboring in vain and start building a home that the Lord is proud to dwell in, pull up a chair and join us.

God Uses Weak People: Paul, the Cross, and Life in the Spirit | #95 Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

What do you do when you feel too weak, insecure, or inadequate to keep going? In this episode, Zach and Jill sit down after a heavy week and talk honestly about what it feels like to serve, teach, lead, parent, and follow Jesus when you don’t feel strong. Instead of pretending, they turn to Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, where the power of the gospel is located not in eloquence, strategy, charisma, or human wisdom, but in Christ crucified. Paul says the word of the cross looks like foolishness to the world, but to those being saved, it is the power of God. The Jews demanded signs. The Greeks sought wisdom. But Paul preached Christ crucified: the power of God and the wisdom of God.

The Pathway To The Legacy Life: Confession, the Spirit, and a Clean Heart | #94 Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

What do you do when you realize your heart has drifted? After discussing Solomon’s failure to finish strong, Zach and Jill continue the conversation with the pathway back: confession. Solomon’s legacy shows how devastating it can be when a heart turns away from the Lord. The kings after him repeat the same tragic pattern, doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord, and the temple Solomon built eventually ends in destruction. But the grace of God is that He still brings the true King through the remnant, the Lion of Judah, and Christ becomes the cornerstone of a new temple. So how do we participate in that life now? Through confession.

Finishing Strong: Solomon’s Warning for Families, Leaders, and Churches Jul 28, 2026

Show 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.

Stop Preserving What Needs to Die: The Resurrection Power We Keep Postponing | #92 Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

In Mark 16, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome go to the tomb with spices to anoint Jesus’ body. They love Him. They are faithful. They show up when others have scattered. But they are still expecting a corpse. Their question is simple: “Who will roll away the stone?” And when they arrive, the stone has already been moved. In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon talk about why the resurrection is not only a future hope or an apologetic argument, it is power for life right now. Jesus didn’t just die so we could be forgiven and wait for heaven. He rose so that resurrection life could begin breaking into the present through the Holy Spirit.

Christian Nationalism? The Bible, America, and How They Go Together | #91 Jul 14, 2026

Show notes

What does Scripture have to do with politics, culture, America, and how we live in public?

In this episode, Zach and Brandon pause before finishing the Gospel of Mark to discuss a timely and complicated question: How should Christians think about authority, culture, Christian nationalism, and the public witness of the church? The conversation begins with the authority of Scripture, and what happens when God’s Word confronts our assumptions, preferences, or cultural moment. From there, they unpack why Western civilization cannot be understood apart from the Bible, how Christian ideas shaped movements like abolition and public education, and why phrases like “Christian nationalism” often need careful definition before they can be meaningfully discussed.
