Becky JohnsonHostWe have been in a series all year long, which I'm pausing for a few weeks again, because I just have something really on my heart that I want to talk to you about that I believe God wants to do in the area of generosity.

If you've done any type of remodel in your home, or if you've done any type of construction, you're gonna run into, especially around the remodel concept, you're gonna run into load-bearing walls.

First time I encountered a load-bearing wall was when we had bought a house when we were, my wife and I were in our 20s and bought a house, and when we were in there, there was the kitchen and a wall, Then the living room, if you know my wife at all, she doesn't like compartmentalized things.

And so when you bring in a construction guy, and first thing he tells us is, that's a load-bearing wall.
And I'm like, well, why is that a problem? You can't mess with load-bearing walls.
Because load-bearing walls are the walls in a structure that are actually holding up what's above them.
The roof, the ceiling, the second floor, whatever's up there, it's holding that weight and distributing that weight to the foundation.
