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 Friday. It's the 5th of June. How's everybody doing, man?

Welcome to Before the Noise. I'm in a silly mood this morning, and I'll tell you why i hear at a minute uh some of you might think less of me i don't care you've followed me long enough you know that i don't have a much of a filter uh listen welcome to before the noise my name is jad braithers if you're new here these are our bible studies we do monday through friday and i'm glad you guys are here i see you there in the Rumble chat blow up the chat on YouTube and Rumble dance and bananas American flags thumbs up party valve steves I don't care what you pop in there just make some tell me where you're from tell me where you are and tell me where you're listening to Terry tell me where you're watching if you're watching on Facebook or X God bless you guys I'm glad that we have these platforms I was laughing because David, our producer, David Medina, over in Oregon, he produces the thumbnails for these every the night before the show.

And I never know what he's going to come back with, or I should say I never know what AI is going to come back with. I'm calling David out. I'm like, you got to quit using AI for this stuff. But this, I have no idea why Jesus and this guy in today's thumbnail are admiring their giant, this giant heart of sin that he's holding in his hands, which was like something completely different. But I won't get into that. But I'm sitting here, party foul Steve and I were just talking to each other. We were laughing at it because like the other day when Jesus was walking on the water, David put one out that said, how to hear God. I said, there's nothing in this study about how to hear God. But here we are. You guys are surviving. Hey, it's all in good fun. We're laughing about it and we like to give David a hard time because he worked hard over there in Oregon trying to uh trying to keep that

place straight but oh AI man AI we're trying to do what we can to avoid as much AI as possible

that we get to see day after day. And I thank you that we can wake up and just be renewed with

laughter, with joy, Lord, with a sense of peace and healing and hope. Lord, we thank you for the promises of God that are in our life. And we just pray that you would speak to us in our time together and through the scripture today, Lord, we want to hear you. So help us to do that in Jesus' name. Amen. All right. So I see you guys there in the chat.
