In this reflection, Father Josiah Trenham explores the spiritual danger of remembering wrongs and how holding onto past offenses destroys peace, humility, and joy. Drawing on The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John of Sinai, he explains practical steps for overcoming resentment and cultivating the Beatitudes—especially poverty of spirit.

Theophany and Cultural Darkness

The Procession of the Precious Cross

The Procession of the Precious Cross

In an age unmoored and adrift from any solid and unchanging vision for marriage itself, these lectures prove timely and are designed to root deeply within listeners a patristic vision for marriage. It is this expansive and glorious vision, articulated in the Scriptures and by the Church Fathers, that is to inspire the practical and every-day outworking of Christian marriage and family life. The God-ordained purposes of marriage are fixed, and for God-fearing Christians keep marriage from becoming a wax-nose manipulated and deformed by debased cultures and secular elites.

Introducing a brand new series on PNP Kids! 

Get ready to embark on a delicious journey into the heart of Orthodox Christian traditions! Our newest content contributor Khouria Destinie Winn  is bringing the warmth of family feasts, time-honored recipes, and rich traditions right to your screens! From mouthwatering dishes to festive celebrations, join us as we explore the flavors that unite generations! 

INGREDIENTS 
3 CUPS HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM
1 QUART ICE-COLD WATER
SALT TO TASTE (OPTIONAL)

EQUIPMENT
-STAND MIXER WITH WHISK ATTACHMENT OR HAND-HELD MIXER
-SPATULA
-TOWEL OR SPLASH GUARD 
-MESH STRAINER (OPTIONAL)


1. Add the whisk attachment to your stand mixer. Add heavy cream to the mixing bowl.  Start the mixer on the slowest setting, gradually raising the speed to the fastest setting. Keep a dish towel on hand to cover the bowl if the cream splashes out. 
2. The cream will go through three stages: soft peaks, then stiff peaks, and finally the butter solids will separate from the buttermilk. Once you see the butter solids separate, stop the stand mixer and pour out the buttermilk. (The buttermilk can be reserved for other uses.)
3. Transfer the butter to a fine mesh sieve set over a large bowl. Using a spatula, press the butter into the sieve to remove any excess buttermilk. (The less buttermilk that remains in the butter, the longer the butter may last.)

4. Clean the stand mixer bowl, then return the butter to it. Add 1/4 cup of ice-cold water to the bowl then whip the butter again for around 10 seconds to “wash” the butter and get rid of any excess buttermilk. Once the water becomes cloudy pour it out and repeat the process until the water remains clear.

5 Pour out any water remaining in the bowl. Replace the whisk accessory with the flat beater. Add any ingredients you want to flavor the butter to the bowl and beat until they are just combined. Finished butter can be formed into a log or put into a small bowl. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. 

Blessed Feast!

Pentecost with Father Jason

Have you ever heard of St. Phanourios, the patron saint of lost things?  St Phanourios is known in the Orthodox Church as a saint who helps people find lost or stolen items. We ask St. Phanourios to help us find whatever we lost, and when we find it, we bake a cake and share it with friends and loved ones to give thanks. This special tradition comes from Greece and the special olive oil citrus cake is called “Phanouropita!” You can also bake this cake on his feast day, August 27th. In this episode, we are baking phanouropita donuts, which is ideal for sharing with others, an important element in the tradition!

You can read more about this tradition and find the recipe on my blog: https://www.asceticlifeofmotherhood.com/blog/phanouropita-donuts

Ingredients
1-1/4 cups vegetable oil (or substitute for oil of choice)

2-1/2 cups sugar

1-1/4 cups warm water

Grated rind of 1 orange 

1/2 cup orange juice (fresh orange juice is best)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

3 tsp baking powder

4 cups white flour

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Sift flour, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a large bowl and set aside.

Using a whisk, combine oil and sugar until blended.

Add the warm water, orange rind, orange juice, and walnuts and mix well.

Slowly add the flour mixture and combine until smooth.

Add raisins and walnuts (if adding).

Pour batter into well-greased donut pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. 

Cool on a wire rack.

Top with powdered sugar.

In this reflection, Father Josiah Trenham explores the Christian virtue of temperance in the midst of violence. How can we respond to hostility, injustice, and the temptations of anger with restraint rooted in Christ? Drawing on Scripture, Patristic wisdom, and pastoral experience, Fr. Josiah offers a compelling vision of self-control and holiness.

Based on the counsel of his bishop and the writings of St. Nikolai of Ohrid, this reflection reminds all Christians that the strength of the Church begins in the priest’s heart turned heavenward.

Struggling with lust is one of the most common battles Christians face. In this talk, Bishop Irenei of London explains how lust is a distortion of the heart’s God-given power to love and give. Rather than only resisting temptation, the Orthodox approach emphasizes redirecting the heart outward — through service, sacrifice, and acts of love.

The study of the Church’s demonology is a part of basic catechism and Christian instruction. The Scriptures are replete with teachings about 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.

Intellectualism and Martyrdom

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new five-lecture series by His Grace, Irenei, Bishop of London and Western Europe for the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, entitled ORIGINS: Creationism, Evolution and an Orthodox Theology of Creation. Well-known patristics scholar and respected arch-pastor Bishop Irenei labors in this series to help believers approach the theology of creation from the presuppositions of the Church instead of through the prisms of evolution and creationism. By an intensive examination of the foundational texts of Genesis, together with numerous sources from the Church Fathers, Bishop Irenei enables us to perceive the Church’s own theological priorities and emphases when addressing the subject of creation. Lecture titles include:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lecture #1 The Lamb Slain Before the Foundation of the World: Moving Beyond Creationism and Evolution&nbsp;Lecture #2 The Order of Salvation: The Creation of the Cosmos as the Beginning of the Church in Genesis&nbsp;Lecture #3 The Fashioning of Man: The Pinnacle of Creation&nbsp;Lecture #4 Creation and Its Consequences: The Sanctity of Life and Ecology&nbsp;Lecture #5 Review with Q and A&nbsp;&nbsp;

Our Newest Lecture Series:
Demonology: Understanding & Winning the Spiritual Battle

Click Here: https://patristicnectar.org/bookstore_220620_11222221112

The study of the Church’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. 

Lecture titles include: 

Lecture #1 Jesus and Satan 

Lecture #2 Demonology in the Baptismal Rite and the Divine Liturgy 

Lecture #3 Gaining Mastery of Satan: The Life of St. Anthony the Great 

Lecture #4 How to Win the Spiritual Battle according to St. John of the Ladder 

Lecture #5 Engaging the Unseen Warfare: Fr. Lorenzo Scupoli and St. Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain 

Lecture #6 C. S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters and Demonic Warfare in the 21st Century Falling West

World Without God & Prayer | Kids Q&A With Priests

Bishop Irenei addresses common misunderstandings about the authority of Scripture, the Ecumenical Councils, and the Orthodox rejection of papal infallibility. He explains how the Church understands the inerrancy of the Bible, the role of the Councils, and why true authority is always found within the living life of the Church.
