ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if the greatest act of persuasion in 2025 is this: persuade yourself to go to church?

In Episode 117 of Daily Persuasion, titled "Persuade Yourself to Go to Church ft. Right Brain Versus Left Brain," bestselling ghostwriter and persuasion expert Joshua Lisec lays out a bold, countercultural thesis: that true spiritual renewal—and personal transformation—begins with engaging both sides of your brain, not just your beliefs.

This episode isn't just about religion. It's about a deeper understanding of persuasion psychology, inspired by the neuroscience behind left brain vs right brain function. Drawing from the seminal book The Master and His Emissary, Lisec explores how centuries of overreliance on the left hemisphere—logic, data, facts, and structure—have caused modern civilization to neglect the right hemisphere, which governs intuition, vibes, instinct, and mysticism.

The result? Churches that appeal only to the intellect—or only to emotion—fail to engage the whole person.

But what if the solution lies in a proper blending of right and left hemisphere experiences?

Lisec dives into how the most persuasive techniques in religion are those that unify reason and ritual. Facts and faith. Natural law and transcendent mystery. Using real-world persuasion examples from the spiritual habits of Gen Z becoming religious, he explains why more young people are going back to church, and why they're not flocking to megachurches with fog machines and guitar solos—but to Catholic and Orthodox churches, which offer both theological grounding and mystical awe.

This is not just about doctrine. It's about the full human experience.

Lisec explains how a church that blends left brain vs right brain elements—offering both structure and intuition, order and vibes, clarity and mysticism—is not only more appealing, but more persuasive. In short, it speaks to the entire brain. It persuades you, not by argument alone, but by engagement with all aspects of your human nature.

In this Daily Persuasion episode, you’ll discover:
• Why persuade yourself is the new frontier of persuasion techniques
• How to use persuasion psychology to create personal transformation
• What modern churches get wrong—and how traditional liturgy activates right-hemisphere awe
• Why examples of persuasion in advertising mimic religious experiences (and how churches can reclaim them)
• The role of vibes, instinct, and mysticism in reconnecting with what matters

Lisec doesn’t just talk theory—he gives practical, persuasive techniques to shift your own behavior. You’ll learn how to persuade someone to do something, starting with yourself. Especially when that “something” is going back to church, despite modern culture’s push toward secularism, cynicism, and screens.

For anyone who feels that modern life is missing something—some sacred, unnamable presence—Lisec offers a clear path: Go to church. Not just any church, but one that engages the full spectrum of human consciousness. One that doesn’t reduce faith to facts, or mysticism to mere emotion, but integrates both in a transformative spiritual experience.

This episode is especially timely as we watch Gen Z becoming religious, not because of dogma, but because their souls hunger for something more. Something that persuasion psychology can’t quite measure—but that their instinct knows is real.

Lisec argues that the real art of persuasion in 2025 isn’t about clickbait headlines or viral videos—it’s about rediscovering rituals that resonate. Practices that appeal to both hemispheres of the brain. And perhaps most importantly, communities rooted in beauty, order, and transcendence.

If you've ever felt a pull toward the sacred, but didn’t know what to do about it…

If you've sensed that something was missing from modern life…

If you're curious about the why behind going back to church…

Then this is the episode for you.
