1. In the Old Testament, sometimes the word "everlasting" is used to describe laws given to Israel. Therefore, some Messianic Jews say we should keep these laws. Why is the word "everlasting" used to describe these ordinances?

2. Is the 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth literal, or is this describing the church age?

3. I am a part of a church where the pastor came out and said that he had an affair. Is there a biblical method on how to proceed? If he comes back to pastoring how long should he wait before he re-enters the ministry?

4. Must I be formally ordained in order to pastor a church or plant a church?

5. The Bible says that Jesus is a the right hand of the Father, so does that mean that there are two different gods?

6. Should communion, the Lord's Supper, be open to anyone visiting the church or should it be closed for members only?

7. I had a pastor say we shouldn't label ourselves as sinners but saint. What are your thoughts on this?

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.
