When Should Christian Parents DISINHERIT a Child?! | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Episode description as stored
Should Christian parents ever remove a child from their will? And is an inheritance something children are entitled to—or something parents are responsible to steward before God?
In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastor Josh reacts to a viral Dave Ramsey conversation with a Christian mother wrestling with whether to leave an inheritance to her adult children. From there, he tackles the deeper biblical questions behind the controversy: stewardship, generational resentment, school choices, socialism, and what parents should do when their children walk away from the values and faith they were raised to embrace.
This isn't about creating a one-size-fits-all rule. It's about learning to think biblically about money, family, responsibility, grace, and the legacy we leave behind.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Whether children are biblically entitled to an inheritance
How stewardship should shape the way Christians think about wealth
Why Christian parents should think carefully about education and discipleship
How Pastor Josh evaluates socialism from a biblical worldview
Why inheritance decisions shouldn't be driven by anger or revenge
How grace and generosity factor into decisions about a rebellious child
How Josh and Jana are approaching inheritance in their own family
Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.
