The Moral Compass Chronicles
Introducing The Moral Compass Chronicles: Charting a Course Towards Moral Clarity
Imagine a life where your moral compass isn't just a vague and cliche idea, but an operating force that shapes every decision you make. Join me, Eyon Johnson, as I kick off The Moral Compass Chronicles, a podcast inspired by divine guidance and my personal journey towards living a morally driven life. This introductory episode is your gateway into a world of thoughtful reflection on individual morality and personal development. I share the origins of this audio time capsule and discuss the power of having platforms that embrace diverse voices in today's society. You'll also get a look into the much-anticipated return of "Eyon's Unpopular Opinions" and exciting plans for potential guest features in future episodes.
Drawing from my background in mediation and conflict resolution, let's explore the subjective nature of morality and the personal beliefs that steer our lives. Through a blend of biblical teachings and the pursuit of goodness, I aim to offer insights that resonate with listeners who seek meaning and guidance. Whether you're looking for inspiration or simply a fresh perspective, The Moral Compass Chronicles promises to be your companion on the journey towards a morally enriched life.

I'm grateful to finally be doing this.
Speaker 1:This is an audio time capsule and I am just a vessel. I am a vessel that has been inspired. I am a son, I'm a brother. I am now a son, I'm a brother, I am now a husband, and I have so much to say. I've got a lot to say, and people typically tell me I've heard in the past. I'll say that I can be long winded, and isn't it just an honor and a privilege to be able to live in a world just like this one, a society like the one we are in now, where technology has gotten to the place that it has gotten to, has gotten to the place that it has gotten to, and people of different walks of life, different backgrounds, different race, ethnicity, uh different, uh, types of businesses and whatever the case may be, we can all have an outlet very much like this one where we can come and just share our thoughts. You know, and I listen, man, I'm not here to really discuss anybody else's thoughts, anybody else's opinions. If you remember, um, I had and have because I will be continuing it.
Speaker 1:Many people are familiar with a segment called Eyon's Unpopular Opinions that will be making a return here on the Moral Compass Chronicles and was inspired by many different confirmations from the Lord personally and through his people. I'm reminded that there is a need in this earth for what God has placed within each and every one of us, and shout out to my sister, cherie, you know who you are, if this ever reaches you that that word inspired me greatly. There is a need in this earth, there is a need in this world for what God has placed In Eon Johnson, in Eon Johnson, and I am here to avail myself and to speak what it is God has placed within me. There's going to be a range of different ideas and different topics and different talking points. You may even see some different guests show up and man, this is this they say. The world is, is your oyster and I really, I really feel that way about what we're doing here, and it's an honor, it's a privilege. It's a privilege.
Speaker 1:I, as I mentioned, I have a lot to say, but the moral compass chronicles. What is that? What is that? Where? Where did that come from? You may ask yourself at some point?
Speaker 1:This is an audio time capsule and it is centered around the idea that there is, in fact, a morally correct way that we, as a people, ought to govern our lives. I am very much, much aware of that fact and, listen, I have no talking points right now. This is, this is what they call a pilot right when I come here and I explain who I am, what I'm about and what this is. I have no clue how long these episodes will be, these different renditions, and as I will refer to them as chronicles, right, um, but what I do know is that this is a God-inspired podcast and I am a Holy Ghost filled young man. I do look to the Lord to lead my, my every step, and that is my aim and my determination every single day.
Speaker 1:Will every single topic be Bible based? No, you know, but I want you to understand that morality is individual. It is it's, it's individually based, and every single person has their different ideas and ideals, rather, and a different set of morals that they live their lives by. Now I, now, I am very much just like you and I have a very specific set of morals and a specific view on life that I I walk with day to day. And there is a way, there is a very morally correct way that I believe I am supposed to govern my life and I believe it is up to us, it's up to all of us, to have that same mentality. Now, whatever those morals may be, that is on you, that's on you. I'm not here to tell anybody what they have to do. I mean, at the most, these are going to be my thoughts, my opinions. Some may be unpopular, some, you know, may be popular, but I want to make it clear that I do have a Bible here at all times and it's right in front of me. This is how I govern my life and it's a combination of the word of God and, quite honestly, just being a good person. I mean to be real, like you. Don't have to believe that Jesus Christ is Lord of all To be a good person, and that's a conversation for another day, another day, but there is a morally correct way for people to walk and for people to talk and for for us to treat each other. I mean, and that is really, that's really what I'm getting at here. This is the moral compass chronicles, man.
Speaker 1:There are several people that I will be working with. I have been in conversation with some different people already and I'm I'm so excited, man. I'm really looking forward to diving into specific topics on on a weekly basis. I am looking to do this weekly. I'll be honest, I don't have a schedule yet. I don't have a list of guests yet. I don't have a list of topics outlined yet.
Speaker 1:Can I tell you how I go about this? I pray, I pray, and if I, if I get an idea, I pray. If I feel a leading in a specific direction, I pray. That's that's just me. That's me and, quite honestly, this podcast, this, this set of chronicles, will not be for everybody. This conversation will not be for everybody, but for those of you that it is, for I do pray that you receive something from this. I pray that you receive something from this. I, I truly am going to give this my all, and you know what God has granted me with an opportunity here to quite honestly combine this particular aspect of what I feel is my business and my calling. He has combined this with other aspects of what I feel is my calling, my purpose and businesses that I am starting, and a long time ago and when I say a long time I mean a few years ago God he gave me these ideas and showed me how I was going to combine them and how they are intertwined.
Speaker 1:I have some certifications for mediation. I am a certified mediator to some degree. I am continuing my education in mediation, conflict resolution, excuse me and some different things. I'm even considering going back to school for psychology because I really I'm driven by helping people and when you help people in order to help people, rather, when you help people in order to help people, rather, you've got to know how, how the mind works. To some degree, you've got to know how people think you've. Quite honestly, you have to have your own set of experiences in life and I have a lot of that man.
Speaker 1:I could go on for days and thank God for this opportunity. I could literally go on for days talking about my experiences and I plan to. I could literally go on and on talking about the different experiences I have had, the different things I have been through, the things my hands have touched, the things my eyes have gazed, the things my ears have heard. I could go on and on and I will. I really intend to, but I intend to be led by God every step of the way and I'm honored. I'm honored. This is, this is a pleasure. This is a breath of fresh air. This is a long time coming, man, and I want to give a few shout outs, you know to, to a few different people. I don't really want to name drop just yet, but you know who you are, man. Let me do it that way. You know who you are and, quite honestly, the people who have helped me along this journey, these are people who are not looking for their name to be called. That's real, bro. That's real. These are people who have seen a gifting in me, who have pushed me and motivated me, and not just pushed me and motivated me, but helped me, assisted me where where it was necessary for me to get to this point, and I'm I'm truly grateful, man, I'm truly grateful, I I.
Speaker 1:Some of you have seen some of the videos that I may have started posting on instagram within the last, the last um within the last two years or so, going back to 2022, and um, just me speaking about some different things, and that was really just the surface. I was just really scratching the surface. I I was starting to get into it and, you know, creating content and letting my getting my voice out there and my face out there, and um, as we used to say, in stocks rising, shout out stocks rising man. As we used to say, in Stocks Rising, shout out Stocks Rising man. As we used to say, putting our face in the camera. I started doing that and allowing my voice to be heard. Using my voice, I'll say and, quite honestly, life got in the way.
Speaker 1:Y'all know how it is, man. You guys know how it is. We're all adults here. I'm assuming, if you're listening to this, you're an adult in some way, shape or form. You're a teenager and I don't know who needs to hear this. But just because somebody's a teenager, that doesn't mean they haven't gone through anything. You know what I'm saying. Just because somebody is not in their 20s yet, not in their 30s, 40s, 50s yet, that doesn't mean they haven't gone through some stuff, man. That doesn't mean they haven't had some experiences. Some of them have experienced stuff that we never have. Some of our teenagers have experienced some things that we have never had to and never will have to, and, yes, vice versa. But I'm highlighting them right now to to to say that we got to stop minimizing what our teens go through and our, our, our youngsters, man, we got to stop doing that.
Speaker 1:But let me not, let me not get too ahead of myself. I was talking about the fact that life, life, life was life in bro, life was life and it still is, and I don't even mean that in a bad way, like I, legitimately I moved into my first apartment back in um, 2021 or 2022, whatever, whatever it was Um or 2023. I, I'm I don't know the dates are losing me right now Um or 2023, I I'm I don't know the dates are losing me right now, but I was there for a year, moved out of that apartment into what will be my first house with my wife, um, and I kind of got ahead of myself there. I was supposed to like outline everything, to then mention hey guys, I got married to like yo, I'm married, bro, I'm a husband now, and anybody who's married, you know. You know all of the steps that lead up to that point, all of the things that have to happen in order for you to become a husband to my brother.
Speaker 1:Shout out to my brothers. Shout out to my dogs who are married man. One of my brothers, fabian, just got met. Shout out to Fabian Ralph, one of my closest friends and closest brothers just got married Last month or October. Of my closest friends and closest brothers just got married last month or October. I can't really. I got married in September, so I believe I'm not sure if it was September or October or November for Fabian, but shout out to you, bro, my dog just got married. You know I could go down the list of my brothers that are married too. I won't, like said, I don't really want to start name dropping, but you guys know the married people that. Shout out to the ladies, my married sisters. You guys know everything that it takes to to get to the point where you are now a husband and you are now a wife. I don't have any children yet, but I'm headed down that road, I'm headed down that path. You know what I'm saying. I'm on that path, and so yo, a lot has taken place, bro, and I am just so excited, I'm so excited to dive into life with you all, to life with you all.
Speaker 1:This is the moral compass chronicles. Shout out to my wife for helping me choose the name and come up with the name. I got a pretty tough graphic thumbnail that I cooked it up with the help of my wife, with the help and the insight of my brother, my mom. Shout out to my mom man, I might dedicate a whole entire episode, maybe several, to my mom, because I could really talk for days about who this woman is. You want to know where the moral compass chronicles comes from. It comes from her, comes from it comes from her. That that, yes, I like I mentioned the word of god is how I govern my life. It it's, it's the rule book I follow. It's, it's how I I know whether or not I'm living up to the standard that has been set for me. But it was really my mom that showed me how to be a good person, and God rest my father's soul and my dad. He had his struggles, but I learned a lot from him as well.
Speaker 1:And man, oh man, I am just, I'm ecstatic. My heart is full right now. My heart is full man, because everything that I have been through, everything, like I was mentioning before, everything I've seen, everything, I've heard everything, I've done everything that has happened to me it has led me to this point To me. It has led me to this point and I am in a place and I have been in this specific place for a few years now where all I want to do is help people. I've been helping people my whole life, walking people through stuff, mediating between people, coaching people up, and it's not because I have all my stuff together, but it's because God has placed something within me that I am finally learning how to cultivate. I'm finally getting to a place where I have allowed everything that I have been through to mold me, as God continues to mold me, as these things have broken me, as God has had to break me, as he's had to do his work in me so that he can do his work through me. That's one of my prayers almost every day Lord do a work in me so you can do a work through me. And that is where I am, that is where we are. So stay tuned, man. Stay tuned.

Speaker 1:I don't have I don't have any kids yet, but I always say I got sons everywhere. I had a young man tell me the other day that he looks at me like a father figure because he doesn't have one. And that's, that's not a joke, that's real life, bro, and that is an honor. What that tells me is that there is a lot that God has placed in me and there is a task and a duty to uphold I have. I have a duty to uphold as a brother, as a father figure, as a husband and as a child of God. So I love you guys, man. I love you guys, the ones who, the ones who are gonna tap in with me here.
