Questions in this Episode

1. If Jesus is God, was his crucifixion a form of self-murder or suicide?

2. I am wondering how do I honor my parents when I have strong disagreements with my parents about their beliefs in conspiracy theories about the vaccine, political views that are more estreeme, as well as prosperity gospel-type beliefs. How do I honor them while disagreeing very strongly on these issues?

3. If God is all powerful, why does he allow evil and suffering?

4. Mary seems to put her faith in Jesus. Don't Catholics put their faith in Mary? The basis of Christianity is to put our faith in Jesus, and during Jesus's first miracle it seemed that she put her faith in her son as well. I don't understand how Catholics can call themselves Christians if they put their faith in her. Can you explain that?

5. Could you please explain Jesus's statement, "I never knew you," in the parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 7?

Core Question - How Can Christianity Be True if God Allows Evil and Suffering?


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.
