Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher
Welcome to Not Yet Now, a podcast where we explore the tension of living in the "already, not yet" reality of God's kingdom. Together, we'll dive into how Christ's reign is breaking into our world today, even as we long for its complete fulfillment. Join us as we reflect on how this dynamic shapes our culture, our lives, and our calling to live in the light of the kingdom that is both here and still to come.

We explore how the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus are not separate from the coming of the kingdom but are the very means...
