The Deciding Factor

Deciding Factor

Unlike our ancestors, the war we face today is spiritual. Without the visualization of a physical enemy, it can be easy to fall victim to the snares & traps that so easily beset many men today. At Deciding Factor, we are intent on being the men that God has designed us to be. This means playing offense against the spiritual forces of evil by giving young men a definitive roadmap to a life of purpose & achievement, not ease & comfort. Whether your battles manifest themselves in politics, career, finances, relationships, or personal growth, JOIN US if you want TO WIN. WE ARE THE DECIDING FACTOR!

The physical world is only 1/3 of our being. Then why do we make it our entire focus? Especially when it is actually the least important aspect of our existence. It is this undue attention on the physical world that makes our life more difficult than it needs to be. There is more pleasure to be found in this life. But we will never find it in the physical. It can only be found beyond the five senses.

Today’s episode is a little different, but it fits the theme. In life. There will be days where you don’t feel like showing up. There will also be days when you are ecstatic to show up. The most important thing, and the common denominator, is actually SHOWING UP. Without showing up, we can’t expect any results.

The Deciding Factor - Weather the Storm | with Isaiah Woodie (Mens Monday Ep. 1)
play

01/23/24 • 20 min

Welcome to the first episode of Mens Monday. This week our topic is weathering the storms that life may throw at us. In this episode, we discuss the similarities between life and being the captain of a ship. We then use principles that captains follow when weathering storms at sea to help us understand how we can better handle the storms that rage in our own life.

I believe you'll find these episodes to be very similar to what you're used to. If you enjoy these topics, please share this podcast with your friends and family. That is the best possible way to help this movement continue to grow.

In this episode, Isaiah and Cameron break down the situation in Ukraine. The Russian/Ukrainian conflict is nothing new. It has a long deep history that is worth exploring for context concerning the situation. Isaiah and Cameron dive into this history before wrapping up the episode with the stance that America should take when it comes to this conflict, and why we should take this stance.

Every one of us has to make a choice of who we will serve. The Bible makes this very clear. But what isn’t so clearly written, is the responsibility that we hold towards that service, as well as everything that we are accountable for. On today's episode we talk about what it means to serve God, what we are accountable to God for, and how we can serve God properly in every area of our life.

If Genesis 1:1 is true, and the story of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ is true, then the rest of the Bible is applicable to our life.

The fact that we are existing in a created universe, with evidence for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that can not be refuted, is testament to the importance of the Bible.

With all of that being true, it must mean that there is a greater purpose for Christians and humanity as a whole. This calling is directly tied to the divinity of Christ that was revealed through his resurrection.

Each day is a new opportunity, where everything is possible, and anything can happen. This is true of every life that exists on this earth. So then why do we allow each day to pass us by while we mindlessly live within our routines. Routines, in and of themselves, are neither positive nor negative. It is the direction in which our routines steer us that determines their worth or the lack thereof. A passive routine will lead you into a life of complacency. Living each day with no aim, no purpose, and no ambition. A cog in the machine. A pin in the wheel. Living just for the sake of getting by. Each day sinking lower and lower into the pit of inaction. But an active routine has the exact opposite result. It will lead you to the life you have dreamed of. By living each day with direction, purpose, and ambition, you will find yourself developing the machines that others are a part of. No longer a pin in the wheel, but the person in the drivers seat. Living for the sake of the next great achievement. Each day compounding your successes and growing exponentially. I believe this is the life that most of us want. So then how do we achieve it?

Modern Christianity is at odds with its traditional counterpart. Historically, Christianity held a very strict attitude against sin, and its affect on the life of a believer. Christians have been known for their abstinence towards a life of sin, and have even been criticized for their sincerity to the word of God. But that is only historically speaking. Today, the line is becoming blurred on what Christians constitute as sin, and what they are willing to tolerate or even allow. The modern church has become a friend of sin, by allowing clear contradictions to Gods word to find its way into society, as well as its congregation. Many modern Christians will tell you that they believe God doesn't care about sin as much as we have been told to believe. This line of thinking is wrong. The God of the Old Testament has not changed. It is Christians themselves that have changed. Just as Israel left God, the church is now guilty of the same. Abstaining from all appearances of evil is more important now as it has ever been.

We often find ourselves looking to history for examples of great renaissance men. Men whose interests covered a vast array of topics and whose expertise was apparent in several areas. Men who were philosophers, warriors, tradesmen, and artists. Men who could satisfy the requirements of any situation. This caliber of man seems to be mostly lost to history. With the stark contrasts of white and blue collar life being used to divide men into separate camps that demonize the other side. The sleazy businessmen never seeking to understand the values of hard-working tradesmen, likewise the uneducated worker rejecting the virtues of sophistication. It’s a tale as old as time itself, but no longer should it last. Why do we accept this division? Should we not seek the good in all things and implement what is helpful? Certainly nobody would disagree with improvement. Why then do we refuse to participate in it?

As the 2024 election season is ramping up, Babylon is roaring. But all of this chaos was designed, or at least allowed.

Winston Churchill's famous "Never let a good crisis go to waste" is the mantra of the Kingdom of Babylon. As the world descends into crisis, Babylon rises like a phoenix from the ashes. With 4 BILLION people going to the polls to decide their leadership this year, now is the perfect opportunity for Babylon to make its checkmate move to work its way into the drivers seat. How will we respond?
