And I think that helped people understand what a computer was much more than if he had just told you. It makes people much more productive in whatever they want to do. So use stories, metaphors, parables to get your points across, and you'll do so much more powerfully. Okay, number four, show, don't tell.

His healings, miracles, and his example were more important than just his straight teachings were. That's why the four gospels give an account of his life and not just of his teachings. And I think that's true. The way that you live out the things that you teach is much more important than what you teach in a sort of abstract sense.

And then the fifth thing, and this kind of goes into every point that was before, but you is, is belief. You have to believe in something so strongly to the point that you're willing to die for it. That absolute conviction and belief. There was plenty of chances for Jesus not to die. And if he had done that, then there would not be 3 billion Christians in the world.

And it wouldn't have started this whole movement. And so if you're someone who is looking to start a movement, Just don't try and fake it. You really have to commit to those things that you really do believe in. Otherwise, you're just not going to have the legs of something like Christianity or of the many other movements that people really do believe in sincerely and are willing to die for.

Okay, my end notes. So I should mention my religious background, I guess. So I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That's people typically know us as Mormons. So I'm kind of in an interesting position here because no one likes us. Atheists think we're ridiculous. Christians don't accept us as Christians.

If you want to know more about what this religion is, you can go listen to the Brigham Young episodes where I explain a little bit about the start of our religion. But everyone thinks I'm a heretic, which is why I just tried to stick to what is in the gospel. I don't think I said anything controversial in terms of my interpretation of the gospels.

I'm sure someone's going to yell at me for this episode. A lot of people will probably yell at me. Of course, you just can't talk about Jesus without incurring strong emotions.

But hopefully, you know, my status as an outsider kind of affords me an opportunity to look at things a little more objectively than someone who is a mainstream Christian or a mainstream atheist who's critical of the biblical account. Okay, so some other things to talk about. One thing I've been mentioning a lot in recent episodes is that charisma comes from the eyes, from the gaze.

So from great leaders, people always talk about the way they stare and the way they gaze. And so I found this really interesting passage from Paul Johnson, quote, on the other hand, we know certain things about his visual personality, which struck eyewitnesses. And so we're recorded in the gospels. Jesus was very observant.

It is notable how many times he is described as looking, looking upon, looking around, looking up. The last is mentioned three times. His habit of penetrating observation punctuates the narrative. He looked around before speaking, and he lifted up his eyes on his disciples. And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter.
