Questions in this Episode

1. I want to exercise through yoga but I know that some people think any practice of yoga is an act of worship to other gods. What do you think?

2. I feel completely condemned and that God has given up on me. What should I do, how do I know that I have surrendered my life to the Lord?

3. I know that in the Psalms it says that we should give thanks to the Lord, and I know that this isn't just good advice, but I often feel uncomfortable giving thanks in prayer because I honestly don't feel very thankful. Is this a form of paying lip service and going through the motions or should we practice giving thanks even if we don't feel like it?

4. Is Jeremiah 29:11 only a promise to the nation of Israel or does it apply to us as well?

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.
