ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if the loudest voices in the pro-life movement were failing at persuasion — not because of their beliefs, but because of their techniques?

In Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec Ep. 290: “Pro-Life Persuasion Fails ft. Bronze Age Pervert”, Lisec takes on one of the most controversial topics in modern political discourse: why so many Pro-Life Persuasion Fails come not from hostile opponents, but from within the movement itself. Using his trademark insight into persuasion psychology, Lisec dissects the recent viral exchange between a Catholic priest and Lila Rose of Live Action, whose claims about male celibacy sparked a wave of commentary from conservative women influencers.

This episode isn’t just a critique of Lila Rose Live Action talking points — it’s a deep dive into the broader pattern of evangelical hypocrisy, marriage obedience double standards, and the growing influence of the “womanfluencer” class. Lisec asks, what is a womanfluencer, really? And why do so many womanfluencers push a brand of Christian feminism that subtly flips traditional gender roles, using religion as a lever for power over men?

Drawing on persuasion techniques from political history, Lisec compares these modern debates to historical case studies — including Francisco Franco history and the role of secular leaders in advancing religious causes more effectively than religious institutions themselves. He shows how Franco, despite being a secular military leader, defended Catholic interests during Spain’s civil conflict, just as modern secular figures like Donald J. Trump have arguably achieved more for pro-life causes than explicitly religious politicians.

Throughout the episode, Lisec explains why Pro-Life Persuasion Fails happen when messaging ignores core persuasion psychology principles. He highlights persuasion examples from history, politics, and even marketing to illustrate how not to alienate potential allies. The problem? Many leaders in the religious right seem more concerned with ideological purity and power than with results — a classic error in the techniques of persuasion in writing and speech alike.

This leads to one of Lisec’s key arguments: persuasion is about results, not self-righteous posturing. Whether you’re figuring out how to persuade someone to do something in a personal conversation or crafting a national campaign, the same persuasive techniques apply. Lisec points out examples of persuasion in advertising that work precisely because they appeal to shared goals and values, rather than creating loyalty tests no one can pass.

And then there’s the wildcard: Bronze Age Pervert. An online figure whose mix of satire, critique, and unapologetic messaging has influenced segments of the new right for years, Bronze Age Pervert argues the religious right is “cooked” — incapable of leading the future of the conservative movement. Lisec doesn’t agree with everything BAP says, but he acknowledges that persuasion examples from secular right-wing figures show an adaptability missing in many explicitly religious movements.

In breaking down this debate, Lisec covers:
• The psychology behind womanfluencers and their growing influence on Christian discourse.
• Why evangelical hypocrisy around marriage obedience undermines pro-life messaging.
• How persuasion techniques from secular history can succeed where religious moralizing fails.
• The real answer to what is a womanfluencer and why it matters for the cultural conversation.
• The lessons Francisco Franco history offers for modern political strategy.

By the end of Daily Persuasion Ep. 290, you’ll see why Pro-Life Persuasion Fails are often preventable — and how the right combination of persuasion psychology, persuasive techniques, and audience awareness can change the game. Whether you agree with Lisec or not, this episode will challenge your assumptions, sharpen your techniques of persuasion in writing and speaking, and leave you rethinking the entire pro-life communication strategy.

If you want to understand why so many movements talk past the people they need to persuade — and how to fix it — this is the episode to watch.
