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 before the noise.com. Let's go.

Hey guys, good morning. What is it? It's the 9th, isn't it, of April, 2026.

I laugh at myself every morning because I can't ever remember the date, or I think I know the date, and then I can question myself.

So how are you? Good morning. It is Thursday. We are headed towards a weekend, right? I never know what day it is anymore. It's too early to know what day it is. I am glad you guys are here. Welcome. If you're there on Rumble, let me see some of those dancing bananas. This is before the noise. If you're new here, My name is Chad Prather. I'm glad you sat in. Sit with us for a little while. Hang out with us if you're new here my name is chad prathar i'm glad you sat in sit with us for a

little while hang out with us if you're new here and uh let's uh let's look at the bible together you say

boring i don't think it is i think it's i think it's pretty exciting stuff man and we've

we've developed a fun little family here of working through the scripture, haven't we?

These are my devotional thoughts, and you guys sit in with me.

Someone, I did a radio interview yesterday for the shows that I'm going to be doing this weekend in Port Charlotte, Florida.

And one of my radio DJ friends, radio host friends, he asked me, he said, what is this before the noise? I'm so I'm glad you ask. You know, last year, for those of you who are new, let me just tell you what happened. Last year,

I get up in the morning and I do my devotionals and I read my Bible and I take some notes and

try to think through it and, you know, try to process how it applies to me and something we

should do. And I think it's good for us. It's been a good, good habit. Well, I felt impressed last

September, early October to just start going live on all my platforms and sharing my devotional

thoughts with whoever wanted to listen. So so that's what it turned into.

We were doing about 10 or 15 minutes, and then the guys at Rumble came along and said, you think you could do this for an hour and turn it into a full show. And I said, well, we can try. And so far, I think we've been successful by the Lord's help and His grace. And so I'm thankful that you guys are still with us. I'm not your preacher. I'm not your pastor.

I don't want to be.

I'm thankful you guys guys are still with us. I'm not your preacher. I'm not your pastor. I don't want to be. I'm thankful you guys send me your prayer request at before the noise.com, and I'm thankful that we have the opportunity to kind of share in each other's lives, even if it's digitally or we don't know each other. It's a weird world we live in that we have all these platforms to communicate with. But I'm not trying to be anybody's pastor.

I think you should be a part of a local church.

I do.

I believe you should be in a place where people can – and not just go blend into the crowd,
