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.

And good morning, everybody. It is Wednesday. It is almost at December. It's January the 7th.

I actually posted a prayer yesterday on Facebook.

And about 10 minutes after I posted that, because, you you know I put the date on there when I

tell people to pray with me or to join me and I in the back of my head I thought I think I put

December 6th on there and I went back and sure enough I had so you know the internet is ruthless

if you make a mistake because you're not allowed to be human on the Internet. But I almost said December there. Happy January 7th, 2026. Welcome to Before the Noise. My name is Chan Prather. If you're new here, these are my devotional thoughts. And you guys sit in with me. If you're on Rumble, let me see those dancing bananas. If you're on Rumble,

you know exactly what I'm talking about there in the live chat. If you're over there on

YouTube, welcome as well as Facebook and X. I'm just glad you guys are watching wherever you can.

Please go to where podcasts are offered and that's where the audio only is. And I know once

you guys have watched this, you may not

care that much about listening to it again, but I assure you over the course of an hour, there's a

lot of things that get said. I have to go back and listen to it because sometimes I'm not even

sure what all I said. But you might glean some more stuff. But when you listen to it where

a podcaster offered, it actually drives the

algorithm higher there and it gives, pushes us higher in the rankings, which means the algorithm

is more kind to us and those platforms are more apt to promote us and to push us out there

and recommend us to other and new listeners.

So please go leave us a rating and review, but listen to it as well, particularly on Apple Podcasts.

We broke back into the 200s yesterday in our category.

We're actually number 200.
