Questions in this Episode

1. I have been going to a non-denominational church but I was raised as a Roman Catholic. I am struggling between idolizing Jesus and Mary and on the other hand just being devoted to the Word. What should I do?

2. I am a single woman who has never been married but I have always longed to be married. I love the Lord with all my heart. I am going to be 63 in a couple weeks, is it wrong that I am not content in my singleness? As I get older this desire is only growing.

3. Does Galatians 2:20 refer to baptism, or something more spiritual?

4. In what ways can a congregation support their pastor, particularly in these times that we are currently living in?

5. In a previous episode Adriel said that there is no indication in the Bible that Satan hears us. But in Acts 16:18, Paul spoke to the slave girl who was possessed by an evil spirit and Paul commanded that spirit to leave and it departed. And in Mark 16, Jesus said that he has given us authority to cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. Christians do have an authority to cast out demons, so we can speak to the devil to cast him, right?

6. Luke knew that crucifixion was a Roman form of execution by placing someone on a cross. So why would Luke refer to it as Jesus being hung on a tree in Acts 5:30; 10:39?

Core Question – How Do I Live the Christian Life?


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.
