How can I reach someone who's skeptical of Christianity?

That's just one of the questions we'll be answering on today's edition of Core Christianity.

Well, hi there.

Happy Friday.

I'm Bill Meyer, along with Pastor Adriel Sanchez, and this is the radio program where we

answer your questions

about the Bible and the Christian life every day. Our phone lines are open right now. We'll be taking

calls for the next 25 minutes or so. Here's the number, and you might want to jot this down for

future reference. It's 833 The Core. That's 1, 833, 843-243, 2673. Now, you can also post your question on any one of our social media sites. In fact, you can watch Adriel each day in the studio live on our YouTube channel, and you can also send them a question through YouTube. And of course, we've always got an email.
