🎙️ Each week, Pastor Steve Garcia and a special guest tackle five real Bible questions submitted online — exploring Scripture with clarity, compassion, and real-life wisdom.

In this week’s episode, Pastor Steve is joined by Pastor John Peter to tackle five thought-provoking and challenging Bible questions sent in by listeners:

1️⃣ It's always been prophesized that Jesus will come again, there has been so many people over the years who have proclaimed themselves as Son of God. What if Jesus came back but we didn’t recognize him? How can one know if it is really Jesus when this world has so many false prophets?

2️⃣ I gave my life to Christ a few years ago. I love him but I failed him. Not once but 3 times. I’ve apologized but I feel immense guilt and shame even speaking to him. I asked for forgiveness and the first 2 times I felt forgiven and now I am too ashamed to even say sorry despite my guilt because I feel unworthy of it since I know better. But I love God with all of my heart. What do I do?

3️⃣ Is it a sin to tell my kids about Santa Claus?

4️⃣ How can I get over the fear of dating because of divorced parents?

5️⃣ How do I know if I am where I should be in my life?

What Does the Bible Say About Aliens? || Asking for a Friend Podcast || Pastor Steve Garcia

What’s really on your mind when it comes to faith? We all have questions—about life, the Bible, and spiritual things—that we’re not always sure we can ask. That’s why we’re launching the Asking for a Friend Podcast—a space to ask the real, raw, and sometimes surprising questions about God and get honest, biblical answers.

In this very first episode, we’re tackling questions like:

Can I get baptized even if I’m still wrestling with addiction?

Does the Bible say anything about life on other planets?

What should I do if I feel like I’ve talked to a loved one who passed away?

Why do we tell people to close their eyes when praying to receive Christ—when it should be a moment to celebrate?

Nothing is off the table. Nothing is too weird. If you’re asking, we want to talk about it.

 Got a question you’ve been holding onto? Text QUESTION to 909.281.7797 and it just might show up in a future episode.

Subscribe now, and let’s explore life’s biggest (and toughest) questions—together.
