Questions in this Episode

1. My husband and I divorced years ago but have reconciled and are together again. Do we have to be legally married once again or is our reconciliation good enough?

2. Is paedocommunion biblical, and should more Christians practice it?

3. Is the saying, "God helps those who help themselves" biblical?

4. How can the average believer be greater than John the Baptist?

5. Before the Holy Spirit revealed to me biblical theology and good teaching, I was into prosperity churches. At that time I went to an event and I had pain in my back. The speaker touched me and I felt like I blacked out and fell down. But my pain was gone after I woke up. Is this sorcery? What do you think?

Core Question - Why Do You Talk About the Difference Between Law and Gospel?


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.
