Summary
In this episode of Favored or Forsaken, we explore the financial empire Ramsey Solutions and examine the man behind the money, Dave Ramsey. After recent reports about working conditions at Ramsey Solutions, we ask whether it's possible to separate the teachings from the teacher and what role Christianity should play in finances. Hang on to your envelopes and buckle up as we see if there really is peace in the home of Financial Peace. (Spoiler: Also introduced in this episode is the WENAR Index… you won’t want to miss it!)

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Favoured or Forsaken. I'm your host and resident Babel Scholar |
| 0:15.3 | Erin Moon. Because the Babel-Venge episodes are mostly looking backwards, Favoured or Forsaken |
| 0:19.6 | is an episode devoted to looking to the present and future as we consider current events |
| 0:23.8 | through the religious lens to see if they are favored or forsaken. Joining me on this faith-based |
| 0:29.5 | journey is Jamie Golden and Max McCoy. How are you doing today? Don't ask it. You don't |
| 0:36.1 | want to ask why? You are feeling forsaken or events around you are forsaken this week. |
| 0:42.1 | Well here's what you do. You got to project on something. Like I was going to project on |
| 0:45.7 | we don't have air now. That's why I'm forsaken. I know it's like it's piling on us. Our egg |
| 0:50.7 | track system went out. Yeah. So you could say what you're saying about we'll bleep it out. |
| 0:54.8 | You want to do that? I'm forsaken about this because we know we're kind of feeling forsaken right |

| 1:24.1 | about someone else and we need to talk about whether they are favored. They probably don't feel |
| 1:28.0 | forsaken. Oh, I definitely don't think that they don't feel but is the perception forsaken? |
| 1:32.3 | Maybe so. Let's see. We're going to talk about David Ramsey colloquially known as Dave Ramsey. |
| 1:39.8 | That's a hot topic. It is a hot topic. Let's talk about why a little bit. So he's been in the news |
| 1:45.4 | recently. Actually, I think the last favor to forsaken we recorded this came out like hours after |
| 1:51.7 | right. Which was frustrating but also a pattern. So in December, Ramsey Solutions was just his |
