1. I work with first responders and sometimes they have to respond to tragic calls. There is not always a chaplain to help the community members, so what passages in scripture would you recommend first responders to share with people in those scenarios?

2. In John 6:52-53, Jesus says talks about eating his flesh and drinking his blood. This doesn't seem to be a metaphor, so why don't you accept Jesus's words here that this is "truly" my flesh and blood as his real presence in the eucharist?

3. What are your thoughts about Christians working with their gay neighbors, how should we approach this?

4. When I read all the evidences of fruit that Christians are supposed to have, I know I lack in them, so it causes me to worry if I'm saved. Should we examine the fruit in our lives this way?

5. Are Christians allowed to drink alcohol?

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.
