Questions in this Episode

1. My coworker listens to demonic heavy metal music, to the extent that the bands are encouraging listeners to go to hell and embrace it. He said that he accepts and is content with the fact that he is going to hell. How would you recommend talking to this guy?

2. How important is worship in service? I live in NYC & finding a church sound in doctrine is quite a feat. I found a church with great reaching, but the worship is dreadful. I am convinced the singer's voice is a joy only to the Lord. I am visiting and trying to determine if I want to become a member of this fellowship, but the singer's screeching both depresses and aggravates me. Should I look elsewhere for fellowship, time my arrival for right before the preaching begins, or wear earplugs during the singing?

3. If Jesus is in heaven at the right hand of the Father, what work is he doing for us now?

4. Is Melchizedek a prefiguration of Christ?

5. Did God create the serpent in the God?

6. Can Christians be pro-choice?

Core Question – How Do I Choose a Church?


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.
