Questions in this Episode

1. Is it ok for married Christians to decide not to have kids?

2. Is a Christian who attends Sunday service faithfully but does not attend midweek small groups or other church activities throughout the week considered "forsaking the fellowship of the saints"? As a business owner, my business requires a lot of my time and members from our church are telling my wife and I that we are forsaking the fellowship of the saints because we do not attend other church activities outside of Sunday morning Bible study and the main service. Their position seems very legalistic to me. Could you bring clarity to the situation for me?

3. What does 2 Thessalonias 2:11 mean?

4. Is it too late to be saved on our deathbed?

5. How should you respond when someone says that they've forgiven you but continue to bring up past sins again and again?

6. Could you please unpack Mathew 13:38-39? Are the people mentioned here the Sons of Perdition?

Core Question – Can I Lose My Salvation?


In a world filled with complex and often unsettling questions, Core Christianity offers a grounded space for thoughtful exploration. Hosted by Pastor Adriel Sanchez, this podcast directly engages with the difficult inquiries people are actually asking about faith, life, and scripture. Each episode is built on the conviction that honest questions deserve thoughtful, biblical answers. Sanchez doesn’t just aim to demonstrate the truth of Christian teaching; he delves into why these ancient beliefs remain profoundly good and beautiful for modern life. Listening feels like having a compassionate and knowledgeable guide, one who helps untangle theological knots with clarity and grace. This isn't about superficial platitudes, but about rediscovering the foundational, historic truths that have sustained believers for centuries. Through these conversations, the Core Christianity podcast seeks to provide more than just information-it aims to impart a genuine sense of comfort from the gospel message, fostering both confidence and practical wisdom for everyday living. It’s for anyone, whether long-time believer or curious skeptic, who wants to understand the heart of Christian faith beyond the cultural noise.
