Questions in this Episode

1. What Does 1 Corinthians 6:3 mean when it says that we will "judge angels"?

2. My wife and I are at the age where we are preparing our wills and we are struggling as to where to draw the line in the sand between God's sovereignty over life and death and the state legally allowing itself to choose when we die. We have considered Ecclesiastes 8:8, Job 30:23, and other scriptures and would appreciate your Biblical advice on this matter.

3. Does Proverbs 26:4-5 teach that we should avoid or confront fools?

4. What does Revelation 13:15 mean?

5. Can a Christian pay tithe through service rather than through giving financially?

Core Question – How Do I Live the Christian Life?


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.
