The Beatitudes, or the blessings, pronounced by our Lord Jesus Christ upon His faithful followers constitute the opening salvo in our Savior&rsquo;s most famous teaching,&nbsp;The Sermon on the Mount. In this series each beatitude is unveiled revealing the universal character of an authentic Christian. Those who inculcate these sacred dispositions manifest the face of Jesus Christ to the world. By incarnating the qualities of Jesus Christ our Savior, that is, poverty of spirit, mourning, gentleness, hunger and thirst for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and the joyful acceptance of persecution - believers become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.&nbsp;

Why Faith Is America’s Only Hope | Tucker Carlson

A review of the earliest post-New Testament Christian literature providing inspiring examples of Christian devotion and the ethos of the Christian generations immediately following the Apostolic period.&nbsp; These writings are replete with inspiring examples of Christian devotion and provide a valuable window into both the significant personalities and the spiritual and theological ethos of the Christian generations immediately following the Apostolic period. These texts are also of great apologetic value in the contemporary pluralistic milieu in which Orthodox Christians dwell in the West.

The Apostolic Fathers

Bishop Irenei addresses common misunderstandings about the authority of Scripture, the Ecumenical Councils, and the Orthodox rejection of papal infallibility. He explains how the Church understands the inerrancy of the Bible, the role of the Councils, and why true authority is always found within the living life of the Church.

The Greatest Man

January 1: Circumcision of our Lord Jesus Christ

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;

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;

In this thought-provoking video, Father Josiah Trenham addresses the claim that Scripture alone is sufficient for Christian faith, without the need for the Church. He examines the dangers of isolating the Bible from Church tradition and teaches why both are essential for a complete and authentic Christian life. Discover why the Church and Scripture must work together to preserve true faith and practice.

The 2 Births of Jesus

Righteous Father Silouan the Athonite

Righteous Father Silouan the Athonite

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.

Lecture 1: Shackled by Anger-The Contemporary Oppression

Lecture 1: Shackled by Anger-The Contemporary Oppression

Lecture 1 - Learning and Humility

This five-lecture series by Father Josiah Trenham is designed to ignite the waning fires of patriotic love in the hearts of believers. In these lectures the student will glean the Scriptural teaching on the nature of allegiance to the state, as well as survey the historic exceptionalism and present degradation of the American nation. The series concludes with a lecture designed to answer the question: How Then Shall We Now Live in a Post-Christian Society?&nbsp;

Patriotism: The Duty of a Christian to His Nation

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 Sermon: An Exposition of the Jesus' Sermon on the Mount

Soul Cleansing: The Mystery of Confession is a five lecture series in which the Holy Sacrament of Confession is examined from many angles: theological and practical. The five lectures are entitled: The Meaning and Institution of Confession; Preparation for Confession: The Importance of Self-Examination; Spiritual Medicine: The Curative Power of Penance; The Father Confessor; and Answers to Objections. Confession regenerates the human soul, and is the milieu in which "the rubber meets the road" in Christian transformation. The confessed life is a life that is filled with the love of God, and the joy of change for the better. The embrace of regular and heart-felt confession can open the door to God's Kingdom for us all.

An Address on Vainglory and the Proper Upbringing of Children

An Address on Vainglory and the Proper Upbringing of Children

A discourse on the important subjects surrounding the nature of Holy Scripture and its relationship to the Church of Christ. Subjects addressed include the miracle of inspiration, the nature of Scripture as the words of the Word - the very speech of the Holy Trinity; the inspired process and criteria of the canonization of Scripture; the Bible as a locus of spiritual experience, a Theophany and spiritual medicine against the passions; how the Scriptures are utilized in the liturgy and the Christian home; and how to avoid the false dichotomies between the Church and the Bible, Truth, and Jesus Christ.

The Bible and the Church

These edifying lectures offer a wealth of practical understanding and counsel designed to provide a pathway forward to joy for those bogged down by anxiety and depression.&nbsp;As anxiety and depression abound at epidemic levels in our society these lectures are timely and encouraging. The speaker, Dr Enke, is deeply committed to a therapeutic practice that flows out of her Orthodox Christian faith and abides in the teachings of the Holy Fathers.&nbsp; Dr. Enke is a therapist with extensive experience in treating depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD.

Do You Have a Right to Communion?

Part 2 / Lecture 5: The Mystery of the Holy Priesthood

Track 11 - Ps. 44 A Good Word 

St. Raphael (Hawaweeny) was the first Orthodox bishop ever consecrated in America. He came to this land in 1895 and poured out his apostolic life as a missionary bishop, establishing more than thirty parishes, gathering the lost sheep in America, and preaching the Gospel. He reposed in 1915, and was glorified as a saint by the church in 2000. He is a mighty patron of Orthodox Christianity in America, and this magnificent Akolouthia is chanted by one of his most devoted servants in America.

Akolouthia of St. Raphael, Bishop of Brooklyn

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.

Sacred Psalmody

Dr. Cohlmia, the chanter for this hymnody.&nbsp; He is a board-certified ophthalmologist in Wichita, Kansas (1997-present), and has been a faithful member of the Antiochian Orthodox Church since birth. Dr. Cohlmia was born in Beirut, Lebanon and emigrated to the United States at the age of 15 where he obtained his collegiate and doctoral education. He is the Protopsaltis of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America (2006-present). He also serves on the Archdiocesan Department of Liturgics and translation, aiding in the translation of the Arabic and Greek Typika in order to arrange the English as well as the bilingual (English-Arabic) weekly and festal liturgical notes.

The Byzantine Hymnody of the Great Feast of the Holy Dormition of the Theotokos chanted in English and Arabic

Holy counsel on why a Christian should trust God in every detail of his or her life, and how to do it even in the midst of terrible suffering. This is the first time this treatise is available in the English language.

On Providence

Lecture #4 - Who Do People Say That I Am? 

In this reflection, Father Josiah Trenham explores the spiritual danger of remembering wrongs and how holding onto past offenses destroys peace, humility, and joy. Drawing on The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John of Sinai, he explains practical steps for overcoming resentment and cultivating the Beatitudes—especially poverty of spirit.
