Are you feeling the tension between the world we see today and the promises of God?
In this conversation, Joseph Labun breaks down the profound concept of “the now, not yet kingdom”—the reality that God’s reign has been inaugurated through Christ, yet remains to be fully consummated. If you’ve ever wondered why life still feels messy, why suffering persists, or why God doesn’t always answer our “why” questions immediately, this is for you.
Throughout the discussion, Joseph explores the “already, but not yet” framework, providing a vital lens for understanding the Christian life. By looking at the experiences of biblical figures like Abraham, Moses, and Job, as well as the disciples’ own confusion regarding Jesus’ ministry, Joseph highlights how we are invited to trust God even when we don’t have all the answers.
This isn’t about having a perfect, pain-free life; it’s about learning to sit in the frustration of the “in-between” while maintaining a deep, intimate relationship with a Father who wipes every tear. Joseph challenges us to embrace suffering not as an endpoint, but as a space where we can wrestle with God, release our need for control, and ultimately find peace in His character.
