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.

Hmm, good morning, guys. This is Thursday. It's May 21st, right?

I think it is. Welcome to Before the Noise. Let's do a quick sound check and make sure you guys can hear me,

because I can see you there in the live chat. If you're on Rumble, if you're on YouTube,

Facebook X, all of the places. Thank you for being here. Can you guys hear me okay? Give me a thumbs up or a dance a banana or something there in the live chat. I'll give it just a second to make sure we're good. Party file. Steve told me that I'm good. He's our hall monitor this morning out in California and and he says we're all good, gave me a thumbs up earlier. I'm in the hotel room. I'm in the middle of nowhere, West Tennessee, headed to Arkansas on my way to start a weekend of shows tonight at the Looney Bin in Little Rock. So I'm glad we have this opportunity to get together from the hotel room. I speak a little bit quieter when I'm in the hotel room because I don't know who's through the wall. People might like to sleep in, you know what I mean? But we don't want to miss our time together. So if you're new here, this is before the noise. These are my devotional thoughts. We work our way through the Bible, through the scriptures. And these are my devotional thoughts. and you guys just sit in with me. So I'm sorry that I don't have a fantastic cell signal here, or I should say a Wi-Fi signal.

It's not great. And I'm trying to take everything off of the Wi-Fi that I can so we can come through as good as

possible. So if it goes crazy, it, uh, if it goes crazy,

then, you know, we'll just cut it short. But we're in March chapter five. And I want us to

continue where we were. Jesus has just calmed the storm. We studied that yesterday. And, uh,

now Jesus is about to get off the boat. We're going to see what happens when he gets off the boat. Oh, and by the way, we kind of get spoiled when we're in the studio, right? And we have the sound and we have everything's kind of clear. But I don't want to miss these. So it might be a little bit less quality when you're doing the hotel room and out on the road,

but I don't want to miss these. Consistency matters. That's how we stay accountable, right?

So anyway, I hope you guys can enjoy it with me. And also, a number of people ask me questions

because I mentioned the other day saying pray because we might be able to put the show on different

networks. That doesn't mean we're taking it off of these networks we're just expanding to other networks

which is going to be a great opportunity for before the noise we believe we're praying about it

so anyway where are we at we're mark chapter five they came to the other side of the sea

that's jesus and his disciples they came to the country of of the sea. That's Jesus and his disciples.

They came to the country of the garrisons,

and when Jesus had stepped out of the boat,

there immediately met him out of the tombs,

a man with an unclean spirit.
