Hey guys, welcome to Before the Noise, the place where we slow down before the chaos kicks in every weekday.

Join us for more at BeforeThe Noise.com. Let's go.

Hey, guys, good morning. It is Wednesday, April Fool's Day or whatever. First of April,

2026. Wow, man, that's crazy to say out loud, isn't it sometimes when you think about it?

2026. I hope everybody's doing well

good morning good morning I see you there in the live chat good morning those of you there in

rumble blow that chat up hey guys wherever you're watching don't forget to hit like or share it

we're going to head into these spring and summer months our numbers are probably going to go down

a little bit simply because people have other things to do and And we want to keep getting the word out there. I'm having a blast doing these things. I'm always thinking about new and better, maybe more efficient ways to do it. I'll say another word about that just to get my thoughts out in a second. But if you're watching on YouTube or over on Facebook or X, thank you. If you're listening by way of podcasts, God bless you guys, man.

refocus them, or healed them, or there was just trauma and grief and tragedy. I don't know what's going on, but God's using it is all I can say. So grab a copy of this book. You can do it before the noise. You can go to bornformeaning.com. There's all the places. You can get it on Amazon. It's not hard to find. So anyway, I'll throw that out there. We're going to go into 1 Corinthians
