<p>The book of Jonah is a text that is found amongst the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament, and is much beloved by believers not only for its Christological typology in which it sets forth the death, burial, plundering of Hades, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ but also because it is simply packed full of spiritual themes like obedience, repentance, sinful nationalism, God's call to mission, the enlightenment of the nations, brokenness, rebellion and grace, the love of enemies, and much, much more.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>

Healing Our Diseases: The Church as a Spiritual Hospital

<p>The 150 Psalms of the Psalter are presented here, divided into twenty sections of roughly equal length, known as Kathisma that can be read or chanted in one sitting or session.</p>

Holy and Glorious Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian

<p style="text-align: justify;">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;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">PNP is pleased to present a new six-lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham entitled </span><em><span data-contrast="auto">Demonology: Understanding and Winning the Spiritual Battle. </span></em><span data-contrast="auto">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.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}">&nbsp;</span></p>

<div style="text-align: left;">PNP is pleased to present a new ten-part lecture series entitled&nbsp;<em>Theological Foundations: God, Man and the World in Genesis 1-3.&nbsp;</em>The opening chapters of the Holy Bible provide the fundamental elements of the Christian worldview.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">There we learn about the One True God, the human being fashioned in God's image, and God's meaning-infused creation. These texts, which have always formed a central element in the Church's catechetical ministry, present the most important of Christian convictions. These chapters are particularly relevant today as secularism has suppressed these essential truths from the western mind, and priests can no longer assume that these basic theological affirmations are believed by those coming to the Church or raised in the Church.&nbsp; These lectures are presented as an aid in the formation of catechumens and as an effort to set forth the transcendent beauty of the glory of God, of the human being, and of God's magnificent world.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div>

Homily | Mothers (May 4, 2025)

1. The Quest for the Historical Jesus.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Fr. Josiah exposits the Book of Revelation verse by verse in order to give the reader insight into both the original meaning of the text to its 1st century audience and a practical application of its message to the Church today. The Revelation of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian completes the New Testament Canon. It is both an end and a beginning, as it unveils to the Church both the cataclysmic conclusion of this falling age, and the ushering in of the New Heavens and New Earth where righteousness dwells forever. The Revelation, or the Apocalypse, as it is traditionally known, is a unique genre of literature among the 27 books of the New Testament known as "apocalyptic." In 22 sacred chapters St. John reveals the zeal of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ to maintain the purity of His Church, and to lead Her victoriously into His eternal Kingdom. Under numerous symbols and images, as well as dramatic and confrontational historical depictions, the nature of the war in heaven and on earth is revealed between the Church of Jesus Christ and Her enemies: the dragon, the beast, the false prophet, the harlot and those in alliance with evil. The message of the Lord to His much-suffering Church of the 1st century and today is this: Be faithful to the end, for the Lord is coming quickly to reward those who hold fast to His Name.</p>
