Questions in this Episode

1. If Jesus is God, why doesn't he know the time of his return?

2. How do you know if you really want Jesus and it's not just your emotions? I am dealing with thoughts saying, "I don't want to follow Jesus or repent." Is that my heart or my flesh? Is it me being a sinner and being lost? I don't see any fruit in my life and feel unstable in my Christian walk. I believe I have a lot of head knowledge but am not sure what to do.

3. Does John 1:1 say that Jesus is God or A god?

4. How do I know if God is answering my prayers?

5. Why does the prophet Ezekiel refer to god as the "Son of Man"?

Core Question – Who Are the Prophets?


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.
