Lecture 4: The Father Confessor

Discover

The core character of the ideal Christian husband and his high calling from God in marriage is unveiled. The Christian ideal for husbands is discussed &ndash; the husband as leader, domestic pastor, lover, provider, and faithful friend.&nbsp; This series is helpful for young men and women who are contemplating marriage, the engaged, pastors who need pre-marital counseling material, and husbands and wives who wish to enrich their marriage and establish it as more thoroughly Christian.

The Good Husband: Five Lectures on the Christian Ideal

This short but pungent Epistle - deeply rooted in the Wisdom and Prophetic Literature of the Old Testament - presents a virulent call to righteousness in the Church, or what St. James calls the perfect law, the law of liberty. The Epistle of St. James is perhaps the earliest book of the New Testament, having been penned by St. James, the Brother of God. St. James insists that pure and undefiled religion is a working faith expressing itself in sincere trust in God through all trials and zealous deeds of justice and mercy as believers anticipate the coming of the Lord, Whose 2nd Advent is right at the door.

Works: The Offspring of Faith - An Exposition of the Epistle of St. James

In this edifying offering, Fr. Patrick Reardon makes evident his penetrating insight into the text of Holy Scripture, and presents significant practical guidance on how to pray the Scriptures and live the life of faith unto salvation. Fr. Patrick is the long-time pastor of All Saints Orthodox Church in Chicago, Ill, and an erudite priest-scholar who has published numerous articles and books, and serves as senior editor of Touchstone Magazine.

Prayer and Salvation

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new three-lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled&nbsp;War and Peace: An Orthodox Perspective on Violence.&nbsp;This series presents peace as the normative Christian ethos, the very expression of the Kingdom of God in the life of the individual, family, church, and nation. It also surveys the Church's teaching on war and the use of force, with particular emphasis on the witness of the soldier saints as a model of the Christian use of force. Lecture #1 War and Peace in the ScripturesLecture #2 Principles of Justifiable Warfare and the Use of ForceLecture #3 The Military Saints and an Ethical Evaluation of the War in Ukraine

War and Peace: The Orthodox Perspective on Violence

St. John Chrysostom writes concerning parenting: "This is not about trifles. We are discussing the governance of the world!" In this series husbands and wives can glean practical guidance from the Scriptures and the Church Fathers on how to sweeten and deepen their marital union, and mothers and fathers can hear the voice of the Goldenmouth call them to take up their parental calling as artists&nbsp;fashioning the highest art-the images of God-and as governors of their own house-cities in which they must learn to establish and enforce laws that give life for, in Chrysostom's words, "God Himself intends to live in this city." This lecture series includes two lectures dedicated to spousal relations and parenting, an audio book recording of St. John Chrysostom's famous text on child-rearing entitled On Vainglory and the Proper Upbringing of Children, and a frame-ready copy of a Prayer of Parents for Their Children (download below).

 St. Salome, the Myrrh-Bearer

This lecture provides an detailed overview of the traditional path of Orthodox Christian catechesis. In this lecture, born out of the study of patristic catechesis and the experience of instructing more than 250 catechumens, Father Josiah lays out a traditional practical step-by-step process for teaching inquirers and catechumens the Orthodox faith in such a way as to give them a solid "foundation of repentance and faith" (Heb. 6:1) that will serve them and the church for life. Included with this lecture are two attachments: 1. A Chart of the Initiatory Process, and 2. Text of the Lecture Itself.&nbsp;
The Orthodox Catechism series also provides valuable teachings for Orthodox who want to deepen the knowledge and practice of their faith, and serves as a useful resource for priests who are performing catechesis in their parish.&nbsp;&nbsp; This series offers a detailed overview of the traditional path of Orthodox Christian catechesis. An Orthodox Catechism was born out of Father Josiah&rsquo;s study of patristic catechesis and his experience of instructing more than 300 catechumens.&nbsp; Included wit

Starting Down the Royal Path: How to Become an Orthodox Christian

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;

Male & Female: Reflections on Transgenderism

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 3 - Life in the Spirit

St. John Chrysostom on What is Hidden and Revealed

Two lectures dedicated to Relationships &ndash; Human relationships in the light of Christ and patristic principles of parenting. Father Zacharias explains the means for a Christian to have all of his relationships flow from his central communion with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is this core union with Christ that scents and flavors all other human relationships for the Christian. Father Josiah speaks about family dynamics.&nbsp; He presents a vision for family life and parenting articulating patristic principles for child-rearing drawn extensively from the teaching of St. John Chrysostom. Extended question and answer sessions follow each lecture.

Relationships: Human Relationships in the Light of Christ & Patristic Principles of Parenting

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;

Part 1 / Lecture 2: The Human Being

Patristic Nectar is pleased to present a new six-lecture series by Father Josiah entitled&nbsp;The Seven Signs of Jesus. St. John the Apostle and Theologian, Jesus&rsquo; beloved disciple, wrote his magnificent Gospel in an exceedingly unique way in which he highlighted seven great sign-miracles of Christ in order that the readers might &ldquo;believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing find life in His Name.&rdquo; (Jn. 20:31) In this series Fr. Josiah exposits the first half of the Gospel &ndash; Chs. 1-12 &ndash; where St. John sets forth these amazing miracles, and explains what the sign or message of each miracle is.

On the Brink of Death

Lecture 2: Glorious Procreation - Fertility and the Mystery of Multiplying the Image of God

The principles of spiritual life expressed in the lives and sayings of the Desert Saints continue to inspire devotion to the Holy Trinity today.&nbsp; It is hoped that this series will not only be edifying, but will inspire further study in the Evergetinos &ndash; a collection of writings on their lives and sayings. The Desert Fathers hold a foundational place in the Church's understanding of the authentic Christian life. The Desert Fathers and Mothers are the world's "true evangelicals"...those whose lives were completely formed by the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ. The contours of their lives demonstrate the freedom that Jesus Christ gives to His followers who take Him at His word and submit all to His cause. In the recesses of the Egyptian desert these saints possessed life, and that abundantly. From the Gospel explosion, which was St. Antony's life written by St. Athanasios the Great, through several hundred years of Saints populating the deserts of Egypt, Syria, Palestine, and even Persia, Gaul, Britain and Ireland the Desert Fathers have provided a touchstone by which all future generations are able to measure Christian virtue. The principles of spiritual life expressed in their lives and sayings continue to inspire devotion to the Holy Trinity today.

Patristic Nectar is pleased to present a new 8 lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled The Ecumenical Councils: Guarding the Christian Faith. The Orthodox Catholic Faith is a revelation from the Holy Trinity that upholds the entire universe. Throughout the history of the Church the true faith has been attacked by heresies, what St. Paul calls, the &ldquo;doctrines of demons.&rdquo; The Holy Church has definitively rejected these heresies and affirmed the true faith through her ecumenical councils. The dogmatic definitions and the canon laws of the ecumenical councils are understood to be inspired by God and expressive of His will for mankind. As such they are foundational sources of the doctrine and practice of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.&nbsp;

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new 9-part lecture series entitled My Life in Christ: The Life and Teaching of St. John of Kronstadt. This series consists of two parts. The first consists of four thematic lectures given in 2022 by Fr. Josiah to the St. John Chrysostom Catechetical School in Riverside, Ca. The second part of this series is five talks given by His Grace, Bishop Basil of Wichita, at a men’s retreat in Kansas in 2008. St. John of Kronstadt, the Wonder-Worker, served God in Russia during the second half of the 19th century and fell asleep in Christ in 1908. His life, miracles, and teaching have been cherished by believers as God’s love gift to the Church and to the world on the cusp of the 20th century, the most violent century in the history of humanity.&nbsp;These lectures and discussions reveal the beauty of a life lived supremely in and for Jesus Christ the Lord.

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.

The Greatest Man

Theological Lectures covers a wide variety of topics for the Orthodox Christian life. Each lecture series discusses a specific topic over the course of multiple lectures, providing a deep understanding of the topic.

Theological Lectures

Lecture 1 - The History and Use of the Nicene Creed

Righteous Father Nilos of Sinai

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

This five-lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham is designed to ignite the waning fires of patriotic love in the hearts of believers. In these lectures the student will glean the Scriptural teaching on the nature of allegiance to the state, as well as survey the historic exceptionalism and present degradation of the American nation. The series concludes with a lecture designed to answer the question: How Then Shall We Now Live in a Post-Christian Society?&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.

Why Faith Is America’s Only Hope | Tucker Carlson

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;

Part 1 / Lecture 1: The True God

A review of the far reaching subjects associated with the remembrance of death, aging, burial and praying for the reposed that is both spiritually edifying and practical.&nbsp;The lectures are devoted to the remembrance of death, the significance of aging, the meaning of the funeral service and burial, the tradition of Christian cemeteries and memorial customs, and the ancient and universal practice of praying for the repose of the departed. Besides examining these much-neglected topics, Father Josiah provides two step-by-step guides: one guide elucidating the steps a family ought take from the time of a beloved one's repose until burial. Father also posits additional guidance elucidating the steps a family can take to express love for and to assist the soul of a departed loved one in the forty days immediately following his or her repose.

Homily | Detachment and Discernment - The Rich Young Ruler in Matthew 19 (Aug 31, 2025)

"Before reading any of the works in the Philokalia, it will be helpful to read the following two items. The first is St. Nikodemos' outstanding summary of all the principle doctrines and practices that the reader will encounter on the traditional path of entry into the Philokalia. The second is his Introduction to the Philokalia which was omitted by the English translators." - Father Maximos Constas (excerpt from PDF attached)

Lecture 2:  Contributing to the Salvation of Your Spouse

The Holy Sacrament of Confession is examined both theologically and with practical application to our lives.&nbsp; We learn how the confessed life is filled with the love of God and the joy of change for the better. Confession regenerates the human soul, and is the milieu in which "the rubber meets the road" in Christian transformation. The embrace of regular and heart-felt confession can open the door to God's Kingdom for us all.&nbsp; Topics covered in this series include: The meaning and institution of confession; preparation for confession and the Importance of self-examination; confession as spiritual medicine and the curative power of penance; the Father confessor; and answers to objections.

Soul Cleansing: The Mystery of Confession

Father Alexis Torrance & Father Josiah Trenham

What did Jesus really mean when He said “Repent”? Discover the deeper meaning of the Greek word metanoite and why repentance isn’t a one-time act—but a lifelong transformation. In this video, we explore the threefold path of repentance as taught by the ascetic fathers, including Saint Mark the Ascetic and Saint Isaac the Syrian. Learn how repentance is not just confession of sin, but a total reorientation of the mind and heart toward Christ.

Drawing from Scripture and the Church Fathers, Father Josiah discusses how true spiritual transformation requires both intellectual assent and practical obedience, guiding believers toward union with Christ.

What Jesus Really Meant By "Repent"

<div style="text-align: left;">PNP is pleased to present a new ten-part lecture series entitled&nbsp;Theological Foundations: God, Man and the World in Genesis 1-3.&nbsp;The opening chapters of the Holy Bible provide the fundamental elements of the Christian worldview.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">There we learn about the One True God, the human being fashioned in God's image, and God's meaning-infused creation. These texts, which have always formed a central element in the Church's catechetical ministry, present the most important of Christian convictions. These chapters are particularly relevant today as secularism has suppressed these essential truths from the western mind, and priests can no longer assume that these basic theological affirmations are believed by those coming to the Church or raised in the Church.&nbsp; These lectures are presented as an aid in the formation of catechumens and as an effort to set forth the transcendent beauty of the glory of God, of the human being, and of God's magnificent world.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div>

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;

<div>Patristic Nectar is pleased to present a new seven-lecture series by Father Josiah&nbsp;entitled&nbsp;New Saints and Elders: The Miracle of Modern Holiness.&nbsp;The miracle of&nbsp;Pentecost is sustained in every generation of believers, and the fruit of the Holy Spirit is&nbsp;manifest in the budding of saints from the soil of the Church. Each saint is a love-gift&nbsp;from the Lord, a model of discipleship, and a sign-post marking the way to Paradise for&nbsp;all who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Every generation of Christians&nbsp;particularly&nbsp;cherish contemporary saints who have fashioned lives of faithfulness to God in the same&nbsp;context and culture in which they live and move.</div>

New Saints and Elders: The Miracle of Modern Holiness

St. John of Sinai in his Ladder of Divine Ascent writes that the lives of the Saints arouse us to emulation of their courage, and lead us to the virtue of humility and compunction. Contemporary Saints are particularly important since they acquired their love for God and holiness in the midst of our current milieu, and demonstrate that spiritual acquisition is possible even in our own troubled times.

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present an eleven-lecture series by the late Father Thomas Hopko entitled The Holy Trinity. Father Hopko served the Orthodox Church in America as a pastor, and many more years as a Professor of Dogmatic Theology, and then as Dean of St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. He is revered for his zealous and forthright preaching and has exercised a wide influence over the Orthodox Church in the United States and abroad through his seminary teaching and innumerable parish&nbsp;retreats, his lectures on Ancient Faith Radio, and his many books and publications. These lectures were delivered in February of 2001 to the clergy of the Western Region (eventually the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West) of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. In these lectures, Father Hopko opens to all the dogmatic teachings of the Orthodox Church on One God, His Only-Begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Here Fr. Thomas shares how Christian life is a sharing in the Divine Life itself, and much more. This March 18th, 2024 will be the 9th anniversary of Father Hopko's repose. May his memory be eternal.&nbsp;
