Questions in this Episode

1. I have children with someone outside of marriage. I am trying to get back into the faith but she is not a believer and we're not together. What should I do? I have heard from others that we should get married and from others not to try and get married and to try to find a Christian woman instead.

2. James 4:3 says, "You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions." I have been praying to God to give me a godly wife to curb my passions in light of 1 Corinthians 7:9, "But if they can not exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than burn with passion." But James 4:3 seems to imply that God won't answer my prayer because I seek to fulfill my passion. Is that right?

3. My adult children have cut me out of their life. I have cancer and am going through chemotherapy now and I am wondering how I can re-establish those relationships?

4. Did David have faith that God would protect him when he faced Goliath?

5. Does Jesus prefer a particular political wing or party?

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.
