The Arena Podcast is the flagship of Patristic Nectar Publications and contains the Sunday Sermons and other theological reflections by Father Josiah Trenham delivered from the ambon of St. Andrew Church in Riverside, California, and begun in 2010. Currently, there are more than 600 sermons and lectures covering ten years worth of preaching through the liturgical calendar.

The Arena

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

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

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;

The Castrati and Sex-Reassignment Surgeries

Explore the life of the Holy Prophet and King David, a man with a &ldquo;heart for God.&rdquo;&nbsp; Through his life we learn how to live with godly devotion, true repentance, and discover the prophecy regarding the true Son of David, King of Kings, Jesus Christ the Lord. Christians are indebted to no one in the Old Testament more than to the Holy Prophet and King, David. He alone, amongst all the believers in the ancient covenant, is described by the Lord as having a &ldquo;heart for God.&rdquo; David&rsquo;s sin, in infamy 2nd only to that of Adam, has been meditated upon by believers, as has David&rsquo;s deep repentance - which has provided an image for countless penitents to imitate over the centuries in order to find peace with God. In this series, the entire life of King David from his early rise as a humble shepherd, to his years in hiding from Saul, to the magnificent covenant that God cut with him which provided the prism through which believers have come to understand He Who is the ultimate Son of David, the true King of Kings who reigns on David&rsquo;s throne at the right hand of the Father; the one&rsquo;s whose heart is gentle and perfect: Jesus Christ the Lord.

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new 5-part lecture series entitled Yielded to God: The Life and Teaching of St. Seraphim of Sarov. The significance of the life of St. Seraphim upon contemporary Orthodox Christianity is so great that it is difficult to fully grasp. Though he was a humble Russian monk born in 1759 his influence has spread to become central and definitive in all the world-wide Orthodox Church. The life of the saints is a tapestry of a life wholly crucified to self and fully yielded to the will of God. His teaching on the purpose of Christian life as the acquisition of the Holy Spirit, and his great intimacy with the Most Pure Mother of God have captured the hearts of God-lovers and provided inspiration for spiritual acquisition for almost two centuries.&nbsp;Lecture #1 Yielded to God: An Overview of the Life of St. SeraphimLecture #2 Acquiring the Holy Spirit: The Purpose of the Christian LifeLecture #3 St. Seraphim and the Mother of GodLecture #4 Marriage, Monasticism, and the Saint’s Diveyevo NunsLecture #5 Spiritual Counsels

No Iconography, No Christianity - Sunday of Orthodoxy 2018

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.

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;

Lecture 4: The Funeral Service

In this series Father Josiah explains the great significance of corporate evening prayer in the Jewish and Christian traditions - Vespers.&nbsp; He surveys the structure and meaning of the text of the Vespers service, sets forth an understanding of the sublime Lenten service known to Orthodox Christians as the Presanctified Liturgy, and explains how the entire drama of redemption in Jesus Christ is unveiled in the flow of every Vespers service. Since we believe what we pray, and pray what we believe the acquisition of an understanding of the Vespers service itself is greatly nourishing to a strong confession of traditional Christian faith.

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”

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;

The Good Husband: Five Lectures on the Christian Ideal

Our Holy Father Hilary, Bishop of Arles

Our Holy Father Hilary, Bishop of Arles

This short but pungent Epistle - deeply rooted in the Wisdom and Prophetic Literature of the Old Testament - presents a virulent call to righteousness in the Church, or what St. James calls the perfect law, the law of liberty. The Epistle of St. James is perhaps the earliest book of the New Testament, having been penned by St. James, the Brother of God. St. James insists that pure and undefiled religion is a working faith expressing itself in sincere trust in God through all trials and zealous deeds of justice and mercy as believers anticipate the coming of the Lord, Whose 2nd Advent is right at the door.

Works: The Offspring of Faith - An Exposition of the Epistle of St. James

The Holy Apostle Peter, the Rock, in these two magnificent pastoral letters provides inspired counsel to believers who were facing peril and imminent persecution. St. Peter himself would soon be crucified for his faith. These epistles address not just a 1st century milieu but also a 21st century one in which many of the same trials face believers. St. Peter reminds believers of their true identity in Christ, the certainty of their glorious future inheritance, the glory of suffering for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord, and the need to defend the faith against heresy and the outbreak of immorality. &nbsp;&nbsp;Note:&nbsp;&nbsp;Please forgive a brief change in quality in a portion of the live recording of Lecture 7.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

These audio texts have been professionally recorded, and are offered free.

Please remember us in your prayers, Fr Josiah

In this urgent reflection, Father Josiah Trenham explains how America’s financial policies and cultural norms violate the Eighth Commandment: Thou shalt not steal. From petty theft and elder abuse to trillion-dollar deficits and stolen futures, this video challenges viewers to repent, live within their means, and obey God’s law in both personal and national life.
