During a recent episode of “The Ramsey Show,” a listener named Dennis from Florida challenged personal finance expert Dave Ramsey on a controversial statement he made about adult children supporting their parents financially.

Ramsey had previously said that children are not morally or ethically obligated to take care of their parents, and Dennis questioned how that aligns with the Bible’s 1 Timothy 5:8, which says, “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
