The nature of spiritual direction and eldership in the Church is unfolded through an examination of the lives of influential elders who have served Christ and who are either still living or have reposed in the Lord within the last 50 years. 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;

Lecture 4

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 Publications is pleased to present a new 6-part lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled Family Life: Following Jesus Christ in Your Home. In these lectures, Father Josiah expounds upon the many ways in which the sacred presence of Jesus Christ at the heart of the family is able to infuse the daily routines of family life with the scent of heaven and turn the family home into a domestic church. In these eminently practical lectures Father draws from his and Presbytera Catherine&rsquo;s more than 30 years of family struggle -&nbsp; the many ways that the love of God can be intertwined with nourishing marriage, raising children, governing a kitchen, bridal chamber, and household, and contributing positively to a neighborhood and the local community. &nbsp;&nbsp;
 Lecture titles are:
Lecture #1 How Jesus Christ Changes Our Marriages
Lecture #2 The Symbiosis of Marriage and Monasticism
Lecture #3 The Impact of a Christian Family on the Neighborhood and Society
Lecture #4 Food, Sex, and Possessions in the Christian Family
Lecture #5 Common Family Troubles and Solution Paths
Lecture #6 Ministering to One Another in the Home

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.
