| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody, welcome to Your Move, where we help you make better decisions and live with fewer regrets. |
| 0:05.8 | I'm Andy Stanley and I'll be your guide. Quick question, have you ever lied to someone so they won't think you're a liar? |
| 0:11.9 | Isn't that strange? Sometimes we would rather look good than actually be good. And that's not good. So we're going to talk about it right here on your move. |
| 0:31.0 | Today we actually begin a brand new series entitled Your Integrity Our World, Your Integrity, Our World, |
| 0:35.4 | and I will explain the title in just a minute. And next week, I'm going to give you our official definition for integrity for this series. |
| 0:38.7 | But to just get us started, we kind of know what integrity is, right? |
| 0:41.5 | I mean, integrity is the resolve and really the courage, as we're going to discover, |

You probably are with this phrase structural integrity, structural integrity. Structural integrity is a building science phrase, and here's the technical definition, the ability of a structure to withstand its intended load |

| 1:35.3 | And unfortunately, we have seen what happens |
| 1:37.3 | when a structure is cracked and is fatigued |
| 1:40.3 | and is not able to bear the load it was supposed to bear. We've seen the devastation when |
| 1:45.6 | structural integrity is compromised. And what we've discovered and what you know and what you've |
| 1:50.4 | seen throughout your life in some capacity is that the damage isn't isolated. The damage isn't |
| 1:56.0 | isolated to the compromised beam or the compromised column, is it? The entire structure is affected because, because when a load |
| 2:05.2 | bearing structure fails, the load is transferred. When a load bearing structure fails, the load |
