Questions in this Episode

1. Was Jesus actually born on Christmas Day? I have heard theories that he was born sometime in October.

2. Do you know that Christmas song, "Mary did you know?" I know some people make fun of that song, but I thought that that question was pretty good. In Luke 1 it doesn't quite seem to allude to the fact that Mary knew her son was going to bear the sin of his people. So, did she know or was it a surprise to her?

3. Is it ok to tell my kids that Santa is real?

4. Does the Bible command or forbid us to celebrate traditions like Christmas? I have heard both views from various churches. I know Catholics are big on celebrating Christmas and I have heard some protestant groups and even Jehovah's Witnesses say that we shouldn't.

Core Christianity: Finding Yourself in God's Story by Dr. Michael Horton

 


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.
