Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher

I have been praying for a steady resource that teaches through the lens of our relationship with God and how we view him, and this is a good one! Looking forward to spending lots of prayerful hours listening to this Christ-centered wisdom, growing in my God-given identity for his glory.

I listen to unashamed a good bit and heard Zach sub for a corona stricken Jase for a few episodes. Liked what I heard from him there and decided to give NYN a listen. You guys use a lot of big words that are foreign to me but after a few rewinds I was able to keep up. I like how you used your uncle Phil seeing the beach. For me it gave an idea of how we can’t even begin to imagine eternity with Christ along with a couple other things. Great example and I really learned a lot from you 2 talking.

Awesome!!! Great honest real conversations with Christ as the center of it. I am hooked.

I could relate so much to Zach’s testimony. A couple years ago someone I loved walked away from their faith after a tragic life event. This person washing their hands of their faith and declaring their unbelief so passionately caused me to head down a path of question fundamental things about God; why did he create me? He doesn’t need me? He is perfectly content in Himself and the trinity. I serve in full time ministry as the head of a Christian school. I hid my “spiritual crisis” for at least a year. Not that i didn’t believe. I was riddled with doubt. When I finally reached out to my pastor the response was - you bring Him Glory. In my heart I knew this. I grew up in the church. I’ve been a Christian since I was 6. I’m in my 50’s now and prior to this I have always felt the hand of God on my life. His presence was so near. I had walked through rough circumstances and always leaned in to God. I sat with this answer for a time, but in my heart I knew the scriptures depict a God that does not need me to bring Him glory. I reached out to more pastors that I trusted, and knew they were men of the word. I got answers like - “you won’t fully know this side of heaven”. It wasn’t until I started listening to the unashamed podcast that I felt my head, heart and soul start to compel my doubt. When this podcast was introduced I was hopeful. Your theological conversations have been like a healing balm for my soul. I’ve been desperate, clinging to - “Lord, help my unbelief” You’ve presented the Gospel, the character of God and the Kingdom in a manner that has moved me from “blind” faith, to “reasonable” faith. Thank you. Please don’t dumb it down. I have to listen over and over with Bible in hand, grappling, but I look forward to it each week.
