Questions in this Episode

1. My son was baptized this past summer. One of his friends is reaching out to him and trying to talk to him about the World Missions Society Religion and is persuading him about this new religion about "God the mother." I was doing bible study with my son and he invited his friend to join us and he continued to undermine me and what I was saying about God and the Bible. What passages can I share with my son?

2. What does it mean when Jesus calls us to abide in him? What does this look like in regards to being in the Word and in prayer?

3. I have an apologetic question for you: Surely you've encountered folks who say that it's foolish to believe the Bible. One of the big arguments they make is that the Bible, being thousands of years old, was written for people thousands of years ago. Applying it to the 21st century is putting it out of context and that some of it simply isn't relevant anymore. How do you respond to these people?

4. Is God pleased by the good-deeds of non-believers?

5. My church has made the policy that a couple living together cannot get married in the church until they live apart first. My friend believes Jesus would be welcoming and allow people to get married even if they are living together. What do you think?

Core Question - What's the Difference Between Justification and Sanctification?


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.
