“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
-- Maya Angelou

Influence isn’t new.
Long before Instagram and TikTok, the Bible understood how voices, rituals, and stories could shape a people.
In Re’eh, Moses warns of dazzling prophets, seductive neighbors, and cultural pressures — not to scare, but to teach discernment.
This week we explore:
Why influence works — from parasocial bonds to storytelling and scarcity.
How Moses framed blessings and curses as moral gravity, not just rules.
What modern psychology (Cialdini, Milgram, Asch) confirms about persuasion and conformity.
Four practical tools leaders can use today to filter noise, anchor values, and build healthy influence.
Influence is unavoidable. The question isn’t if you’ll be influenced — it’s by whom, and to what end.
Happy Learning!
