Pastor Calming the Scared

Pastor Bryan Catherman’s neighbors were crying March 18, afraid the 5.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Salt Lake City, Utah, a few hours earlier signaled the end of the world. The earthquake had no deaths and caused little structural damage. However, this pushed some people to tears believing the world was ending. “Some of my neighbors — not all of my neighbors — but some of my neighbors were very afraid,” said Catherman, who pastors Redeeming Life Church in the eclectic Rose Park community near the quake’s epicenter. “I was dealing with some neighbors, adult neighbors, that were just in tears, crying, ‘This is the end. There’s going to be another one; we’re not going to make it. It gave me lots of opportunity to speak into hope found in Christ.” People are out there right now fearing that their life is coming to an end. Covid-19 has given us Christians a chance to go out and calm people talking about how our faith in God is what is keeping us calm.
