Dear Catch Community,
As our three-week journey through “I’m Younger than That Now” nears its end, let’s reflect on the profound transformation we are undergoing. Bob Dylan’s words, “Ah, but I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now,” encapsulate our collective experience of shedding old perspectives and embracing newfound freedom.
Earlier in our lives we might have been confident, even opinionated, about what’s right and wrong. But the complexities of the world have unveiled many shades of gray, challenging our former certainties. Rather than growing older, we’ve become “younger” in thought, finding liberation in what we don’t know.
During these weeks, we’ve critically examined our past selves, exposing prejudices, sentimental romanticism, and self-centeredness. Instead of pointing fingers outward, we’ve turned the spotlight inward, fostering a humility that allows us to question our own beliefs.
Let’s distance ourselves from the divisive politics that surround us. What if we step away from the current definition others have imposed on us? It’s time to stop taking ourselves so seriously, acknowledging that we may not have all the answers.
The world’s issues are complex, and perhaps our thinking and expressions have been too simplistic. It’s time to inject a sense of playfulness into our writing, music, and interactions. Embrace a more lighthearted approach, allowing room for exploration and discovery.
As we close this chapter this weekend, let’s remember Dylan’s words: “I’m younger than that now.” It’s an invitation to infuse our lives with a renewed spirit, to be open to growth and change, and to approach the world with a youthful curiosity. Together, let’s ignite change, not only in ourselves but also in the way we engage with the world.
Join us in making the final push to complete our fundraising campaign. Your support has been the catalyst for this transformative journey, and your contribution will fuel the continued impact of the Catch Ministry.

John, I know that politics are very important for Believers, and there is a balance as
we navigate the current scene. But let’s also be aware, that even though a patriot
stance has its problems, we can be sympathetic because of what’s coming down.
Your own ministry will be at risk of being online, if the communists in our government have their way. As Christians, we stand in the way of their takeover in this country. We can say, “The Lord’s in charge”, but we will face the consequences if in the next election conservatism is removed from public discourse. Just a thought. Jim
Dear Pastor John I about stood up & cheered over this, you wrote: “It’s time to stop taking ourselves so seriously, acknowledging that we may not have all the answers.” Amen!!!
