Lecture #1 The First Convert

🌱 Saint Emilia is a beautiful example of Christian motherhood. One can see the great virtue in her life, primarily through her children—the fruits of her labor and faith. As a mother, I find it inspiring that others are striving to raise Saints and, even more so, those who have succeeded at this monumental task!

🌱 It has been my desire to add fruit-bearing trees to our home each year, so I am using St Emilia as my inspiration, someone whose life produced so much good fruit. As we remember her each year, we can be re-inspired to produce good fruit through the spiritual effort in our lives. Of course, it takes YEARS to produce good fruit. So we must continue to tend to the garden, and when we fail, get up quickly and continue the task at hand.

🌱 As we add more fruit-bearing plants/trees to our property, we reclaim Eden, a glimmer of paradise. I hope to encourage parents to see their vocation as creating for themselves a little church and a slice of paradise in their own homes and in their children's hearts.

 Our Newest  Lecture Series:
The Original Church: Lectures on the Acts of the Apostles by Father Josiah Trenham. 

The Acts was written by the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke, as the 2nd part of his great literary masterpiece setting forth the Life of Jesus Christ in his Gospel, and then in the Acts showing forth the new Christian life made possible by the Lord’s great and saving deeds and the descent of the Holy Spirit. Here in these sacred pages we discover what St. Paul calls “new creation in Christ.”

Here we discover what is the birth-right of Christians – that is the continuous miracle of church life. Lecture titles are as follows: 

Lecture #1 The Meaning of the Acts 

Lecture #2 Pentecost 

Lecture #3 Spiritual Life 

Lecture #4 Fellowship 

Lecture #5 Martyrdom 

Lecture #6 Conversion 

Lecture #7 Defending the Faith: The Jerusalem Council 

Lecture #8 The Missionary Journeys of St. Paul

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
