Questions in this Episode

1. Recently in my Bible study we have been talking about how Jesus had fulfilled the law. But we are wondering about how in the Psalms we are to "meditate on the law day and night." What is the difference between what David is saying and what Jesus has said?

2. Do you have to be considered "Catholic" or "Christian" in order to go to heaven, or can you not claim a type of religion and just believe in Jesus?

3. What makes a church mainline or evangelical? What is the difference?

4. Can a cheating spouse maintain a "friendly" relationship with the person they cheated with?

5. When did the doctrine of the trinity become a core belief of Christianity?

6. Am I being too nit-picky if I am having a hard time with my Bible study leader because they think we can lose our salvation?

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.
