Should I switch churches if I don't like contemporary worship?

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

Hi, it's 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, and you can call us for the next 25 minutes or so.

Here's the number.

It's 833-the-core.

That's 1-833-843-243-2673.

You can also watch us live on Instagram and YouTube today, and of course you can always email us at Questions at Core Christianity.com.

So, Adriel, why are there balloons in the studio today?

Yeah, if you're watching us on YouTube, there are gold and silver balloons throughout the studio. Today is my 50th birthday. I'm just

joking. Not really. Well, today is an exciting day because today is the first day we're offering

here at Core Christianity, a book that I just wrote with New Growth Press called Praying with Jesus. And so super-duper

excited about this. My first book, and more than anything, just hope that it is an

encouragement for many people in their relationship with the Lord, especially with cultivating

a stronger prayer life. I know that that's something

that many Christians wrestle with and want to grow in. I've always said, you've never talked to a

believer who says, oh, you know, that's one area of my life where it's just, you know, we're good

to go. I pray like I feel like I should. I think every one of us feels like, yeah, I could, I could definitely

grow in my prayer life. And so I hope that this is just one, one resource that encourages people

to grow in their prayer lives. And so yeah, praying with Jesus, getting to the heart of the Lord's

prayer. And Bill, I think your copy is in the mail. So, thank you. Appreciate that. You know, the,

the fact is, if you go to the core Christianity website, you know what a prolific writer, Pastor Adriel, is. Lots of great articles and Bible studies that he's written or co-written. And we're so excited about this new book. We're going to be offering that book later on in the program. So stick around for that. Once again, it's called praying with Jesus, getting to the heart of the Lord's Prayer. How about that applause one more time? We're really happy for you. It's great. Thanks. Cool to be. I'm feeling the love here. I mean, with all the balloons, especially, I'm feeling the love. And so super grateful for the team here. That's cool.
