1. When God says in Genesis 1, "let us make man in our image," who is the "us" that is being referred to here?

2. If someone has ignored God their entire life and then are later diagnosed with dementia, is it too late for them to follow the Lord?

3. If Jesus said "this is my body" and "this is my blood", then why do we say the bread and wine are representations and symbols? Is salvation at stake if we misunderstand or misuse the Lord's Supper?

4. I carry a lot of bitterness from past pains and it creates anger which I seem to carry into all my relationships. How do I forgive and reconcile with people who are not aware or who don't acknowledge the pain they have caused me?

5. Why do pastors focus more on the writings of Paul in the Bible rather than the Gospels?

6. Is there a difference at the resurrection for those who were buried or cremated?

7 THINGS EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT REPENTANCE


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.
