We explore how mindset and emotion shape action and why the most effective sermons start by answering one question: why do they need to know this. Brian shares a practical WHY acrostic, a powerful story from Christmas services, and a framework to turn truth into transformation.

• mindset plus emotion equals action
• positive and negative mindsets as motivators
• speak to the heart to drive memory and decisions
• the game changer question: why do they need to know this
• Michael Jr. illustration of purpose powering delivery
• the WHY acrostic: What truth, High stakes, Your burden
• stakes for you, community, and world to anchor urgency
• crafting burden-driven applications that prompt action

Have you ever wondered what separates good sermons from truly transformative ones? The answer isn't found in seminary textbooks or public speaking courses.

A simple yet profound quote revolutionized my entire approach to preaching: "You can preach a good sermon without loving your people, but you will never preach a great sermon without loving them." This insight was like putting on glasses I didn't know I needed, bringing everything into sharp focus. While technical skills matter—proper interpretation, effective delivery, perfect timing—they're merely beautiful wrapping on an empty box when love is absent.
