Success Quote by Luis Palau

Palau’s line borrows the diction of adrenaline to sell devotion: “the most thrilling thing” isn’t sex, money, or fame, but conversion. That swap is the whole rhetorical gambit. He’s not merely praising evangelism; he’s reframing it as an experience economy, where spiritual labor delivers an immediate psychic payoff. “Win someone” quietly reveals the mechanics: souls are framed as prizes, persuasion as victory. The verb smuggles competition into piety, making the act feel decisive, measurable, and personally validating.

The phrase “and it’s contagious” does double work. On the surface it’s celebratory, a warm image of faith spreading by contact. Underneath, it normalizes replication as the proof of authenticity: a faith that doesn’t reproduce is implicitly defective. Contagion also shifts responsibility. If conversion spreads like a virus, the evangelist becomes less an aggressor than a carrier of good news, relieving the moral tension of trying to change someone else’s life. Then comes the clincher: “Once you do it, you don’t want to stop.” The point isn’t only the convert’s transformation; it’s the evangelist’s habit formation. Conversion becomes a reinforcing loop of purpose, community approval, and personal intensity.

Context matters: Palau was a mass evangelist, shaped by crusade-style Christianity where public decisions and visible “results” are the currency. The title tag, “Feast of the Holy Innocents,” adds an unsettling halo: a day commemorating vulnerable lives turned into a backdrop for recruitment talk. It hints at a tradition that sanctifies urgency, where saving souls is imagined as rescue before the world can do its worst.
