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 is April 10, 2026. Good Friday morning.

I hope everybody is having fantastic morning so far. Welcome to Before the Noise. My name is Chad Prather.

And if you're new joining us here, these are my devotional thoughts, and you're sitting in with me. And I'm thankful that you do. God bless you guys. If you're watching my way of Rumble, blow up that chat. Same on YouTube. If you're over there under the Google Overlords, if you're watching my Facebook or X. Glad you're here, man. If you came in here with a bad mood, fix that thing. You can stick around, but we're going to try to ask for a little attitude adjustment.

And let's get happy today. This is going to be fun. This morning is going to be fun. So we just finished our study through the book of 1st Corinthians.

And we're going to do our first Old Testament study today. But we're going to do sort of the entire book. So we're covering some ground here. I want to take you over into the book of Jonah. And this is a fun story. There's a lot to be gleaned from it. And I know you've heard the story of Jonah. Many of you still go to the

Sunday school thing, Jonah and the whale. It wasn't a whale. We're going to show you. It was a fish, but we'll break that down here in a little while. And if you think you know the story, I want you to just, let's forget everything we know about the story of Jonah. And let's have a little fun this morning. Let me see if I can engage you with a little bit of storytelling.

And let's have a little fun this morning. Let me see if I can engage you with a little bit of

storytelling. And let's just, let's take a deep dive into it, draw some application from the

Old Testament book of Jonah. But at the same time, let's have fun. Let's see if we can put a

smile on our face. It's good, man. It's a Friday morning. I think it's a good time to do that. And let's just enjoy each other. I see you guys there in the chat. God bless you, Party Fow. Steve, he is our hall monitor today. I sure if you act up, he will put you in timeout. Don't act up. Let's just be good. Okay. Let me tell you about my friends over at Rumble. They're doing an awesome thing. You've heard me talk about this. It is called Rumble Wallet, the same as they did for free speech and getting rid of the censorship. Excuse me, the censorship. They are doing this with banking. A lot of people are getting canceled for a lot of things, even with their banks. Well, Rumble has made it where you can stick your money in Rumble Wallet. You can secure it there, backed by Tethergold as well as Bitcoin. You can scan this QR code. You can go to the app store or Google Play and get Rumble Wallet. You can read more about it at wallet.com. Go over there and just check it out and see what they've got. You're like, well, can Rumble get my money?

No, not even Rumble can touch your money.

It's your money.

And so it's a safe place to put it.

They wanted to create a place where you could put that there and make a little investment out of it as well.

So check them out.

Rumble wallet.

All right, the book of Jonah.

How do we want to start this? Everybody okay? You guys good?

All right. Whether you are or not, we're going to do this, all right?

You ever notice how nobody ever thinks that they're running from God? All right? Nobody wakes up in the
