Questions in this Episode

1. I am a trustee at my church and the leaders here are encouraging me to get ordained, but that idea makes me uncomfortable. What should I do?

2. I have always felt that I have had a strong walk with God since childhood, but recently I find myself struggling with ideas of eternal judgment and even some of the ways doctrines and spiritual things are put so bluntly. Instead of receiving God's word without question I find myself having to examine it, which makes me think God may see this as a lack of faith. Can you help me with this?

3. What did Jesus do between age 12 and 30?

4. Does the New Testament negate the Old Testament?

5. Our grandson is Muslim and he is coming to live with my husband and I. How do we be hospitable while not being ashamed of Jesus's name?

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.
