151: If Jesus Gave a TED Talk: Communication and Neuroscience, with Author Charles Stone

How do you communicate in a way that people will remember? What can we learn from the intersection between biblical truth and neuroscience about how we retain information?

Today I’m joined by author Charles Stone, and we talk about his latest book If Jesus Gave a TED Talk: Eight Neuroscience Principles the Master Teacher Used to Persuade His Audience.

We talk about: 

• The eight components of a memorable talk that lead to healthy learning
• What we can learn from the teaching and storytelling of Jesus that can help us grow as communicators
• How the brain continues to change and grow even as we get older
• Specific ways communicators can ensure that their message is one that people will remember and retain

If you want people to not only remember your message but take action on it, this episode will give you powerful ideas to help you improve as a communicator.
