Patristic Nectar is pleased to announce a new 9-lecture series by Father Josiah entitled God&rsquo;s Gift to the West: The Life and Teaching of St. Nikolai Velimirovich. St. Nikolai- the New Serbian Chrysostom &ndash; has won the hearts of the entire Orthodox Christian world. This godly bishop was not only a great shepherd of his much-suffering Serbian people, but a Spirit-illumined theologian who spoke the word of truth into the very heart of the darkness of the 20th century. Earning doctorates in his youth in both Berne, Switzerland and Oxford, England, he went on to live through World War I and World War II, traveling throughout Europe and America lifting up his voice and prayer, and setting forth the truth in Christ for the falling West in more than 30 books and innumerable sermons and lectures in innumerable venues in churches, universities, and parliaments before falling asleep in the Lord at St. Tikhon Seminary here in America in 1956. 
Lecture titles are as follows: Lecture #1 An Overview of the Life of St. Nikolai
Lecture #2 The Prologue from Ochrid and 100 Meditations on Love
Lecture #3 The Missionary Letters
Lecture #4 War
Lecture #5 The Life of St. Sava and his Nationalism
Lecture #6 Ecumenism: Good and Bad
Lecture #7 The Orthodox Catechism
Lecture #8 Prayers by the Lake
Lecture #9 The Miracle of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ

God's Gift To The West: The Life and Teachings of St. Nikolai Velimirovich

Discover

A close examination of the therapeutic nature of the Church as a spiritual hospital providing a means for acquiring divine power and grace for the healing of diseases of soul and body.&nbsp;Topics include: &nbsp;Jesus Christ as Healer; sin as a disease; the Church as a spiritual hospital; the Spiritual Father as a physician of the soul; and the diagnosis and recommended treatment plan for six common spiritual pathologies - self-love, anger, gluttony, despondency, avarice, and pride. In this series Holy Orthodoxy is revealed for what it is at its heart: a means for acquiring divine power and grace for the healing of our diseases of soul and body, and not a barren ideology.

Healing Our Diseases: The Church as a Spiritual Hospital

July 4th

In this sermon, Father Josiah Trenham reflects on the teachings of Hebrews 9 and the role of the conscience in the Christian life. Father Josiah discusses the power of the conscience — the inner voice that distinguishes good from evil — and how sin can dull, darken, and even enslave the soul. Yet through Christ, repentance, and the study of the Gospels, the conscience can be renewed and strengthened.

This series is dedicated to one of the signature prayers of the sacred season of Great and Holy Lent, and is designed to unveil the comprehensive meaning and significance of this magnificent prayer for the spiritual life of the Christian. With extended teaching on the significance of prostrations, repentance and transformation, the nature of our fundamental vices or passions, and the acquisition of virtue, Father Maximos - with his usual economy of words and vast pedagogical repertoire - makes the listener feel as though he had never heard the prayer in his life.

Why Faith Is America’s Only Hope | Tucker Carlson

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

A presentation of the lives of eight saintly Kings of the first Christian millennium.&nbsp; By the example of these kings Christians are able to gauge what is really valuable in a political leader. Lives of Ss. Constantine the Great, Theodosios I, Justinian the Great, Alfred the Great, Boris of Bulgaria, Vladimir of Kiev, Stephen of Bulgaria, and Edward the Confessor of England are presented. These kings established a model of godly political rule for Christendom, and continue to provide a shining witness of faith in Jesus Christ. In the political realm corruption is so often the norm, but these great kings of the past demonstrate that holiness is possible even in politics.&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 5: St. Boris of Bulgaria

The Holy Sacrament of Confession is examined both theologically and with practical application to our lives.&nbsp; We learn how the confessed life is filled with the love of God and the joy of change for the better. Confession regenerates the human soul, and is the milieu in which "the rubber meets the road" in Christian transformation. The embrace of regular and heart-felt confession can open the door to God's Kingdom for us all.&nbsp; Topics covered in this series include: The meaning and institution of confession; preparation for confession and the Importance of self-examination; confession as spiritual medicine and the curative power of penance; the Father confessor; and answers to objections.

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

Intro to Orthodoxy

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”

We also have the Psalms presented by individual Psalm to facilitate your personal study and devotion of these sacred texts composed by the Holy &amp; Righteous Prophet and King David. We hope that this recording will be an aid to your study of the Psalms and enable you to become further acquainted with the wisdom, depth, and beauty of these sacred prayers.

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

PNP is pleased to present a new four-audio lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled Male and Female: Reflections on Transgenderism. These audio lectures directly address this latest iteration of the sexual revolution and the sexual anarchy unleashed by a cultural rejection of the Christian theological foundations of creation, anthropology, sexuality, and the traditional therapeutic paths of the Church. These lectures explain why Christians cannot reasonably avoid studying transgender ideology in today’s cultural climate, how this new world-view on sexuality finds itself deficient in explaining and healing our fallen human condition, and how love must compel believers to open their arms to persons seeking God from a transgender background.&nbsp;Lecture titles are:Lecture #1 Transgenderism as Social ContagionLecture #2 The Significance of Male and FemaleLecture #3 The Church’s Witness to and Pastoral Care of Transgendered PersonsLecture #4 A Basic Catechesis on Transgenderism&nbsp;

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;

The Prayer Rule

Righteous Father John of Sinai, Author of the Ladder of Divine Ascent

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

July 25th

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;
