Our Compromised Military

In these profound reflections Fr. Joseph presents an Orthodox understanding of salvation as much more than words, concepts and religious ideas but rather as a transformative and organic union with Jesus Christ and illumination by Divine Light.&nbsp;&nbsp;Father Joseph has been the pastor of Holy Cross Orthodox Church in Yakima, WA for more than 30 years, and is an Archpriest and deeply respected spiritual father of the Antiochian Archdiocese. He has been married to Khouriya Sophia for more than 50 years, and is the father of many children and grandchildren.

The Beheading of the Holy and Glorious Prophet, Forerunner, and Baptist John

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!

Car ownership is now the second most costly portion of modern life after housing.&nbsp; This series explores how we might transform this seemingly lost time into opportunities for spiritual reflection and growth in Orthodox praxis and Godly virtue.&nbsp;

3. The Early High Christology of the New Testament (Part 2).

An exposition of St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians. This sacred letter reveals the world-conquering mystery of Christian faith. Here St. Paul unveils the orientation of his entire life when he says, "For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Of all St. Paul's letters in the New Testament, Philippians is the most personal. The Great Apostle had a very dear relationship with this local church, and the theme of Christian joy radiates in each of the four chapters. This is deeply intriguing since St. Paul wrote this joyful letter of thanksgiving while he was in prison! Each of the chapters contains some of the most sublime teachings of the Gospel, including in chapter 2 the most detailed Apostolic teaching on the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ found in the entire New Testament. These lectures are presented with the sincere hope that a more thorough study of this Pauline letter will fill believers with the joy which St. Paul models and of which he speaks.
