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. Happy, happy, happy, happy Tuesday. I can't talk.

Happy Tuesday. March 24th, 2026. Welcome to Before the Noise.

If you're new here, my name is Chad Prather. I'm glad you guys are here. Let me see you in

the live chat there on Rumble. If you're over on YouTube, participate, please. Say something to us. We'd love to hear from you. Put some of those dancing bananas. Partyfow steves got the party foul steves dancing around in there. All kind of stuff going on. If you're watching by way of X or Facebook welcome. This is my Bible study devotion I do every morning. You guys sit in with me.

And I'm thankful for you. I'll be honest with you, a couple of things. I'm exhausted. Didn't sleep so well last night. Been a couple of nights like that, though. A lot going on and just encourage you to pray for me. I got the surgery coming up next week. It's taken a long time to get to that way further

than it should have been, but you know, God's in control. So we will not have a before the noise

next Wednesday, and there's a possibility there won't be one on Thursday. It just depends on

I've had this surgery before. We'll see how I feel on Thursday. So it's up in the air.

You guys will have to read your Bibles without me next week. But definitely on Wednesday,

there will be no before the noise and the possibility on Thursday. We'll just see how it goes.

I'm going to focus on healing up a little bit. I was laughing. Producer David shot me a text a minute ago. I'm a hard person to work for because I always push back immediately if I see a thumbnail or a title or something that just comes along. I'm like, no, I don't like that. And then I talk myself into being okay with it. And so I frustrate David and PartyFile Steve and all those guys all the time because we're picky around here. And so I was just laughing about a text message that came in in regard to ad sponsors. But hey, I love you guys. I'm glad you're here. I hope you're awake enough. We can do this if you're out on the West Coast. God bless you for getting up. Do me a favor. Do me a favor before we step into this.

We're working our way through the book of First Corinthians. We're going to go into

1 Corinthians 7. If you know anything about 1 Corinthians 7, we're going to talk about sex today.

You're like, uh-oh, tuning out. Some of you tuning in. We're going to talk about sex today.

It's a very biblical concept, and We're going to talk about sex today. It's a very biblical concept,

and we're going to talk about it. Christianity and sex, particularly there's an overarching theme of contentment. I'll show you how all that ties together in a little bit here in 1st Corinthians 7.

But I need you guys to do me a favor. Just get in the habit of every afternoon,

every evening, going over to where podcasts are offered, get your grandchildren to teach you where

those are. Go to where podcasts are offered and listen to before the noise. Listen to it back,

not focused on the video, just on the audio of it, and see what you missed, okay? Leave us a rating

and review if you get an opportunity.
