Questions in this Episode

1. I would like to know what you believe about what happens to us after we die. It is my understanding that our bodies are buried and then our souls are asleep until Christ comes again.

2. Does God exist outside of space and time?

3. What is the Abrahamic covenant mentioned in Genesis 17? What aspect of the Abrahamic covenant is everlasting? Why don't Christians practice circumcision if the Abrahamic covenant is everlasting? Is it because the Hebrew word for 'everlasting' can mean 'long time' rather than 'forever'? Or is there another reason?

4. I am having a difficult time living with my elderly mother. She is very cruel and this makes it hard for me to obey the 5th commandment. What should I do?

5. What are the parts of a human person? Can you expound upon the differences between body, soul, and spirit?

6. Is the Lord's Supper simply a remembrance of what Christ has accomplished or is it efficacious in some way that aids in our sanctification?

Core Question – How Do I Live the Christian Life?

Core Christianity: Finding Yourself in God's Story by Michael Horton


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.
