Presentation of the Holy Theotokos - Storytime and Music with Presbyteras Catherine and Gigi

Bishop Irenei explains the true meaning of "anathema" in the Orthodox Church. Far from being a curse, the anathemas proclaimed on the Sunday of Orthodoxy are pastoral warnings, pointing out the boundaries of the Christian faith and lifting souls to God’s mercy. In this teaching, Bishop Irenei shows how the Rite of Orthodoxy reflects both love and truth, guiding us back to Christ and His Church.

The Beatitudes, or the blessings, pronounced by our Lord Jesus Christ upon His faithful followers constitute the opening salvo in our Savior&rsquo;s most famous teaching,&nbsp;The Sermon on the Mount. In this series each beatitude is unveiled revealing the universal character of an authentic Christian. Those who inculcate these sacred dispositions manifest the face of Jesus Christ to the world. By incarnating the qualities of Jesus Christ our Savior, that is, poverty of spirit, mourning, gentleness, hunger and thirst for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and the joyful acceptance of persecution - believers become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.&nbsp;

The Beatitudes

Digital Audio - A broad introduction to Orthodox Christianity designed to expose the catechumen to the contours of Orthodox faith and life, aid priests in preparing catechumens to be received into the Church as well as edify Orthodox individuals seeking a better understanding of their faith.&nbsp;
For those seeking to become Orthodox, Catechism is a process of full-orbed Christian formation in which the Orthodox Christian life is inculcated in the learner through participation in divine services, prayer, study, community assimilation, and practice. At the heart of the catechetical process are the catechetical lectures delivered to the catechumens by the priest or the catechist.&nbsp; It is toward this goal of providing a usable introduction to Holy Orthodoxy that the sixteen lectures entitled An Orthodox Catechism have been developed by Father Josiah. This series has been utilized by Father Josiah in parish practice over the course of almost two decades to prepare more than 400 catechumens for reception into the Orthodox Church.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Not having an official Orthodox Catechism in the English language, many parishes and pastors scramble to put together a basic catechism that will adequately expose the inquirer and catechumen to the contours of Orthodox faith and life.&nbsp; It is hoped that this series will aid priests and parishes in preparing catechumens to be received into the Church, as well as edify Orthodox individuals seeking a better understanding of their faith.
These sixteen lectures are presented to catechumens in two parts. Part One: God, Man, Church is traditionally delivered over the eight weeks leading to the Feast of the Nativity of Christ. Part Two: The Holy Mysteries is delivered over the eight weeks leading up to Pasha, when catechumens are being prepared for reception into the Church on Great and Holy Saturday.

Lecture 5: The Theology of St. Maximos: Part 1 The Ambigua

Patristic Nectar is pleased to announce a new 9-lecture series by Father Josiah entitled God&rsquo;s Gift to the West: The Life and Teaching of St. Nikolai Velimirovich. St. Nikolai- the New Serbian Chrysostom &ndash; has won the hearts of the entire Orthodox Christian world. This godly bishop was not only a great shepherd of his much-suffering Serbian people, but a Spirit-illumined theologian who spoke the word of truth into the very heart of the darkness of the 20th century. Earning doctorates in his youth in both Berne, Switzerland and Oxford, England, he went on to live through World War I and World War II, traveling throughout Europe and America lifting up his voice and prayer, and setting forth the truth in Christ for the falling West in more than 30 books and innumerable sermons and lectures in innumerable venues in churches, universities, and parliaments before falling asleep in the Lord at St. Tikhon Seminary here in America in 1956. 
Lecture titles are as follows: Lecture #1 An Overview of the Life of St. Nikolai
Lecture #2 The Prologue from Ochrid and 100 Meditations on Love
Lecture #3 The Missionary Letters
Lecture #4 War
Lecture #5 The Life of St. Sava and his Nationalism
Lecture #6 Ecumenism: Good and Bad
Lecture #7 The Orthodox Catechism
Lecture #8 Prayers by the Lake
Lecture #9 The Miracle of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ

The mysteries of the Holy Liturgy are explained with patristic commentary; the 25 foundational principles of traditional Christian worship derived from the Holy Scripture are outlined; and the unbroken traditions of the Church are explored.

Orthodox Worship and the Divine Liturgy

If you desire to understand more deeply the inspired guidance of the Church concerning personal prayer, and want to strengthen your own prayer discipline by learning to more faithfully keep a prayer rule, or kanona, these lectures that explore the discipline of classical Orthodox Christian personal prayer will delight you. These edifying presentations examine the content and order of the prayer rule, giving special emphasis to the prayers of repentance, the rule of prostrations, the giving of thanks, the use of the Jesus Prayer, and spiritual reading.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Prayer Rule

The book of Jonah is a text that is found amongst the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament, and is much beloved by believers not only for its Christological typology in which it sets forth the death, burial, plundering of Hades, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ but also because it is simply packed full of spiritual themes like obedience, repentance, sinful nationalism, God's call to mission, the enlightenment of the nations, brokenness, rebellion and grace, the love of enemies, and much, much more.&nbsp;

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new five-lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled: The Nicene Creed: An Introduction. The Nicene Creed is the singular and universal statement of faith of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. It possesses complete authority in the Orthodox Church and is recited in every Divine Liturgy, and daily in the prayers of the faithful. In these lectures, the Christian faith is summarized, and the content of the Creed itself is examined so that the “faith once delivered to the saints” can be known, embraced, and lived.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lecture #1 The History and Use of the Nicene Creed&nbsp;Lecture #2 The Almighty God&nbsp;Lecture #3 Jesus Christ, the Son of God&nbsp;Lecture #4 The Holy Spirit&nbsp;Lecture #5 The One Church&nbsp;&nbsp;

PNP is pleased to present a new four-audio lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled Male and Female: Reflections on Transgenderism. These audio lectures directly address this latest iteration of the sexual revolution and the sexual anarchy unleashed by a cultural rejection of the Christian theological foundations of creation, anthropology, sexuality, and the traditional therapeutic paths of the Church. These lectures explain why Christians cannot reasonably avoid studying transgender ideology in today’s cultural climate, how this new world-view on sexuality finds itself deficient in explaining and healing our fallen human condition, and how love must compel believers to open their arms to persons seeking God from a transgender background.&nbsp;Lecture titles are:Lecture #1 Transgenderism as Social ContagionLecture #2 The Significance of Male and FemaleLecture #3 The Church’s Witness to and Pastoral Care of Transgendered PersonsLecture #4 A Basic Catechesis on Transgenderism&nbsp;

Patristic Nectar is pleased to present a new six lecture series by Father Josiah entitled The Supremacy of Christ: An Exposition of St. Paul&rsquo;s Epistle to the Hebrews. The Epistle to the Hebrews was written to 1st century Jewish Christians suffering persecution for their Christian faith. Pressured and tempted to abandon Christ and return to their previous religion St. Paul sets forth the supreme glory of Jesus Christ above the prophets, the angels, Moses, Joshua, Aaron and the entire Old Covenant religious system. St. Paul exhorted these believers, and through them multiple successive generations of Christian believers to not neglect so great a salvation but hold fast to Jesus Christ: the same yesterday, today and forever.
Lecture #1 Jesus is better than the Prophets and the Angels
Lecture #2&nbsp; Jesus is better than Moses and Joshua

Introduction to the series The Sacred Canons: An Introduction to Ecclesiastical LawPatristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new four-lecture series entitled The Sacred Canons: An Introduction to Ecclesiastical Law by Father Josiah Trenham. The Holy Canons of the Orthodox Church are a part of the sacred deposit of the Christian faith, an essential expression of Holy Tradition given by the Lord Christ to His Church together with other portions of Apostolic Tradition like the Holy Scriptures, the Nicene Creed, the Lives of the Saints, the teachings of the Holy Fathers, the sacred arts, liturgical hymnody, and more. The collection of the canons is called the Pedalion, or in English, the Rudder. The Canons function in the Body of Christ as a rudder functions in a ship- guiding the vessel on its proper course and steering her into the green pastures of God’s providential blessing. In these lectures, you may obtain an overview of the Apostolic Canons, the Canons of the Ecumenical Councils and the Local Councils approved by the Ecumenical Councils, the Canons of the Holy Fathers (with special attention shown to the 92 Canons of St. Basil, the Great), as well as a concluding lecture surveying the canonical teaching on marriage.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lecture 1: The Importance of the Prayer Rule

Lecture 3: "Woman, behold thy Son, behold thy mother."

PNP is pleased to present Volumes 1 - 4 of the Philokalia for our listeners' edification. The Philokalia is the Church's treasure of sacred texts from the 4th-15th century dedicated to inner asceticism and prayer. These texts on the spiritual life - penned by masters of prayer and vigil - have guided our Christian forebears in that highest of all human endeavors - communion with the Living God by prayer. These audio texts have been professionally recorded, and are offered free.

Please remember us in your prayers, Fr Josiah

The lantern procession tradition on St. Martin's Day, celebrated on November 12, is a cherished tradition honoring St. Martin of Tours (397 AD). 

In Germany, children make lanterns and parade through the streets, singing songs. The lanterns shining in the dark are often interpreted as symbolizing the light of Christ, a particularly appropriate image for the beginning of the Nativity Fast (November 15th). St Martin is a beloved Saint celebrated throughout the world and is known for his merciful compassion on the needy. St. Martin's Day is celebrated on November 12th in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

PNP is pleased to present a new six-lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled Demonology: Understanding and Winning the Spiritual Battle. The study of the Church&rsquo;s demonology is a part of basic catechism and Christian instruction. The Scriptures are replete with teaching on the dark powers. Additionally, it is impossible to appreciate the magnitude of the saving deeds of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, without understanding how He, and He alone, has conquered Satan and destroyed his works. Lastly, Christians are called to fight and win in the spiritual war, and for this reason, it is essential that believers understand their enemies and their tactics. Toward this end, Father Josiah presents in these lectures in-depth studies of the Scriptures, Divine Services, and pedagogy of great saints and teachers on the subject of Satan and spiritual battle.&nbsp;
Lecture titles include:&nbsp;
Lecture #1 Jesus and Satan&nbsp;
Lecture #2 Demonology in the Baptismal Rite and the Divine Liturgy&nbsp;
Lecture #3 Gaining Mastery of Satan: The Life of St. Anthony the Great&nbsp;
Lecture #4 How to Win the Spiritual Battle according to St. John of the Ladder&nbsp;
Lecture #5 Engaging the Unseen Warfare: Fr. Lorenzo Scupoli and St. Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain&nbsp;
Lecture #6 C. S. Lewis&rsquo; Screwtape Letters and Demonic Warfare in the 21st Century Falling West&nbsp;

The Death of a Loved One

In this reflection, Father Josiah Trenham speaks on the Gospel of Matthew 18:23–35, warning against the “damnable gap” that forms when we receive God’s mercy but refuse to show mercy to others. Drawing on the parable of the unforgiving servant and the example of St. Dionysius of Zakynthos, Father Josiah exhorts us to let God’s grace shape our relationships and daily life.

The lives and teaching of these seven great elders from Romania, Greece, England and America are majestic love gifts from the reigning Christ to His Flock on earth, and their radiant witness serves as a clear guide for all who wish to enter into the Kingdom of God.&nbsp;

The Three Types of Christians

Jesus Heals the 10 Lepers

December 10th

Father Josiah Trenham + Bishop Irenei

What does true repentance really mean? In this powerful conversation, Bishop Irenei and Father Josiah explore repentance not as guilt or fear, but as healing, transformation, and the very essence of becoming truly human. Drawing on the wisdom of the Church Fathers, Saint Ephrem the Syrian, and the Orthodox tradition, they reveal how repentance is not a moment—but a lifelong journey of growth, joy, and communion with God.

What True Repentance Really Means (And Why It Changes Everything)

Bishop Irenei reads from Saint Nikolai Velimirovich’s "Prayers by the Lake" and reflects on the true meaning of Christian hope — not expectation or optimism, but the steady certainty of the Lord’s coming.

Jesus Calls Zacchaeus

Bishop Irenei of London & Western Europe (ROCOR)

In this powerful reflection, Bishop Irenei responds to a question from a faithful Orthodox Christian in Mexico, explaining the true meaning of ecumenism, the difference between Orthodox unity and modern ecumenical efforts, and why Orthodox Christians cannot accept a diluted vision of the Church. This video dives deep into the teachings of the Ecumenical Councils, the meaning of “One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church,” and how Orthodox theology views dialogue, truth, and ecclesial identity.
