1. How should we interact with those who are undergoing church discipline or who have been excommunicated?

2. Which Mary was it that washed Jesus's feet in Luke 7? Was it Mary Magdalene or the Mary of Martha and Lazarus?

3. I have heard a lot of folks say that Easter actually has pagan origins and that its not biblical. What would you say in response to the folks who make these claims and what evidence or proof texts would you use?

4. There is a longer ending to Mark 16 that in some bibles say they are not in the original manuscripts. How should we think about these?

5. Was Jael justified in killing Sisera in Judges 4?

The Unfolding Word: The Story of the Bible from Creation to New Creation by Zach Keele


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.
