Three lecture series are recommended to you from Patristic Nectar Publications that cover core and basic catechetical preparation.

Intro to Orthodoxy

January 14: Leave-taking of Holy Theophany and the Venerable Fathers Massacred at Sinai and Raithu

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.

An Orthodox Catechism

Homily | Conquering The Demon of Noon Day - St. John of Sanai - 4th Sunday of Great Lent (March 30, 2025)

Lecture 1- Jesus Christ the Healer

Lecture 5 - The American Originals Pt. 1 and the Life of St. Raphael Bishop of Brooklyn

Patristic Nectar Publications is blessed to present a new seven lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled The Seven Last Words of Jesus from the Cross. At the very culmination of our Savior’s earthly ministry, having reached the pinnacle of His life-giving kenosis, the Lord Jesus Christ uttered seven final sayings. Each one of these “last words” abounds in deep spiritual meaning that have nourished the Christian people for the last 2000 years. These lectures are offered as a feast for the soul.&nbsp;Lecture #1 “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do”Lecture #2“Today thou shalt be with Me in Paradise”Lecture #3 “Woman, behold thy Son, behold thy mother”Lecture #4 “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?”Lecture #5 “I Thirst”Lecture #6 “It is consummated”Lecture #7 “Into Thy Hands I commend My spirit”

The Seven Last Words of Jesus from the Cross

Part 1 / Lecture 1: The True God

Lecture #1 - Orthodox Church Membership

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;

Demonology: Understanding & Winning the Spiritual Battle

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

If you desire to understand more deeply the inspired guidance of the Church concerning personal prayer, and want to strengthen your own prayer discipline by learning to more faithfully keep a prayer rule, or kanona, these lectures that explore the discipline of classical Orthodox Christian personal prayer will delight you. These edifying presentations examine the content and order of the prayer rule, giving special emphasis to the prayers of repentance, the rule of prostrations, the giving of thanks, the use of the Jesus Prayer, and spiritual reading.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Palm Sunday with Fr. Jason (John 12:1-18)

The sacred psalter has long been the central prayer book of the Church, and the heart of Her liturgical services. Here we have a collection of commonly sung Psalms performed by chanters of St. Andrew Orthodox Church, Riverside, California. Each psalm is given a brief theological introduction by Fr. Josiah Trenham. We hope that this recording will provide pleasure to your ears, and enable you to more actively participate in the holy services, while manifesting to you the depth and wisdom of these sacred prayers.

Is the Church a Human Institution?

Holy Martyrs Timothy and Maura

The Holy Fathers teach us that the Bible is the most important reading any Christian can and must do. In fact, St. John Chrysostom writes that our ignorance of the Holy Scriptures is the great cause of our sorrows in life. "Get...the New Testament, the Apostolic Epistles, the Acts, the Gospels, for your constant teachers. If grief befalls you, dive into them as into a chest of medicines...take them completely into yourself; keep them in your mind. This is the cause of all evils, our ignorance of Holy Scripture. We go into battle without weapons, and how are we to come off safe?" (Hom. 9, Commentary on Colossians). PNP is pleased to offer numerous edifying expositions of the sacred books of both the Old and New Testaments all designed to nourish the souls of the spiritually thirsty, to communicate grace, and to enlighten the minds and hearts of believers.

Scripture

Father Josiah provides an exposition of the Sermon on the Mount - the most commonly known and quoted portion of the entire Holy Bible.&nbsp; Its phraseology is deeply embedded into the everyday usage of the English language. It is the sermon par excellence of our Master Teacher, Jesus Christ, and is the manifesto of His Kingdom. Its teaching is fundamental to Christian faith and practice, and ought be burned into the heart of all believers.

The Letter of Jude is perhaps the least known and studied book of the 27 books that constitute the New Testament. Written by the Holy Apostle Jude it is dedicated to calling the faithful of the Church to contend eagerly for the faith against the influence of false teachers. St. Jude issues a stentorian call for Christians to go deep, to maturely appropriate their own faith, and to fight for its integrity in their own lives and in the lives of their own parishes.&nbsp; Jude aggressively unmasks the satanic character of the false teachers of his time who abused the grace of God and promoted licentiousness. His call to Orthodox faith and holiness holds great relevance for Christians in the 21st century.

Contend for the Faith: An Exposition of Jude

Join us at our Artist's Corner for guided art projects with stories of great saints! Listen to the life of St Mary of Egypt and draw a lion with our artist in today's video. 

April 1st is the Nameday of St Mary of Egypt. The Wednesday before the Fifth Sunday of Lent is marked by special prayers and hymns that highlight Saint Mary of Egypt's repentance and ascetic struggles. This midweek observance helps believers reflect on her steadfast commitment to God and prepares them to fully engage with her commemoration on Sunday. 

Saint Mary’s life teaches that transformation is possible through humility and reliance on God. Her commemoration during Lent inspires Orthodox Christians to complete their spiritual journey with hope and courage as they approach the celebration of Pascha, the Resurrection of Christ! 

Saint Mary and Saint Zosimas remind us to trust in God’s forgiveness and strive for holiness. May their story inspire us to live with faith and humility.

Lecture 4: The Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts

These lectures expound the place of good works in the salvation of the Christian, the nature of virtues and vices, and the traditional means for cultivating virtue in the Christian life. St. John of Damascus in his text On the Virtues and the Vices in the Philokalia writes that &ldquo;Every man is said to be made in the likeness of God as regards his&hellip;imitation of God through virtues and godlike actions.&rdquo; The study and cultivation of virtue is the quest both to love God and also to become a true human being.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Good Deeds: Cultivating a Life of Virtue

Lecture 1: The Kingdom of God and Its Subjects

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

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new 8 lecture series entitled:&nbsp;The Original Church: Lectures on the Acts of the Apostles&nbsp;by Father Josiah Trenham. The Acts was written by the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke, as the 2nd&nbsp;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:&nbsp;Lecture #1 The Meaning of the Acts&nbsp;Lecture #2 Pentecost&nbsp;Lecture #3 Spiritual Life&nbsp;Lecture #4 Fellowship&nbsp;Lecture #5 Martyrdom&nbsp;Lecture #6 Conversion&nbsp;Lecture #7 Defending the Faith: The Jerusalem Council&nbsp;Lecture #8 The Missionary Journeys of St. Paul&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

Lecture 2 - The Miracle of Pentecost

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;

The Master Teacher, Jesus Christ our Lord, employed a wide variety of pedagogical styles in order to educate His disciples. Chiefly in His instructional repertoire was the telling of parables. In this five-lecture series Father Josiah Trenham expounds the eight parables found in Chapter 13 of St. Matthew&rsquo;s Gospel, otherwise known as Jesus&rsquo; Parabolic Discourse, and reveals the mysteries of God&rsquo;s Kingdom in the human heart.&nbsp;We have some 40 different parables recorded in the Holy Gospels. Jesus used these parables both to confound insincere and shallow disciples, and to deeply reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven to His faithful and authentic followers.&nbsp;
