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.

A good morning. Happy Monday, morning, everybody. It is March 16th.

2026. Hope everyone is doing fantastic. Hope everyone is doing well. I hope you had a great weekend.

Welcome to Before the Noise. These are my

devotional thoughts. My name is Chad Prather. If you are new here, and you guys are sitting in with me.

So I'm thankful that you are. We're just working our way through the scripture. It's a good thing to do in the

mornings. Good thing to do. Start your day,

just kind of getting yourself aligned, re-centered. We pray a little bit. I'm going to pray for you in a

minute and ask you to pray for me. And we're working our way through the scripture. Today we're

going to begin a little study in the book of 1st Corinthians and try to move through it as best we possibly can. We've worked

through a number of books of the Bible in recent weeks. And I'm thankful that you've been a part of it.

So if you're there in the Rumble chat, you know what to do, blow up those with those dancing bananas

that are there. I see you guys in the chat. If you're over there on YouTube, welcome to you guys watching on Facebook, watching on X. Looks like we're firing on all cylinders. Hopefully you guys can hear me. If you can hear me and you can see me, give me those dancing bananas. If you're listening by way of podcast, you'll only welcome to you guys as well. Make sure you leave us a rating and review and i'm thankful

that we have this opportunity together um hope everybody is just do it absolutely fantastic on a

monday morning it is raining cats and dogs here at the little cabin in the woods it is storming

but we need the rain apparently a coal front's coming through. I spent the weekend, you don't care about this, but I spent the weekend putting a lot of new shrubs in the ground just in time for it to turn 20 degrees. They're going to be fine. They're going to be fine. Good morning, everybody. Partyfile Steve is our hall monitor. He's there in the chat both on youtube and on rumbles so

don't get out of line he'll put you in time out we're not here to argue we're not here to debate we're

not here to get into all the nonsense that's for another time we're here to just kind of focus on the

scripture if you're not here for that we ask you kindly to leave be go go do something else it's a big

internet you can find something that can entertain your folly.

In the meantime, we're going to enjoy our own, our own little folly of just wallowing in the word on before the noise. All right, we're in, we're in 1 Corinthians chapter 1. If you have your Bible, you can turn over there to it. We're just going to just work our way through it. I'm going to see where we wind up on this. Okay, before we get into it, may I pray for us? Let me do that. Father, in Jesus
