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

Intro to Orthodoxy

Discover

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

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

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

Conference Q&A Panels

Orthodox Christians read the Book of Job each year during Holy Week as they prepare to experience the Saving Passion of Jesus Christ the Lord. The Much-Suffering Prophet Job is a supreme example of the “innocent sufferer” whose intercessions healed men and whose patient endurance of inexplicable suffering was resolved by the unfolding of God’s marvelous providence. In this five lecture series entitled Job: Lessons in Faith, Wisdom and Suffering, Father Josiah surveys all 42 chapters of this beloved staple of the Old Testament Wisdom literature. Here the Christian believer learns of the limits of proverbial wisdom, and the necessity to embrace a spirit of submissive silence in the presence of and before the face of Almighty God. The five lectures included in the series are: Job’s Suffering and Patience Job’s Bitter Complaint The Inadequate Explanations of Job’s Friends The Monologues of Elihu and Job The Appearance of God and the Repentence of Job ​To purchase this series please visit our website at www.patristicnectar.org.

Join Father Josiah Trenham in this profound reflection on No Other Gods, exploring the essential connection between faith, obedience, and the commandments of Christ. As many are rediscovering the depth of Orthodox Christianity in a secular age, this talk emphasizes the necessity of not only understanding Christian doctrine but also living it—translating belief into action through fidelity to God's commandments.

Drawing from Scripture and the Church Fathers, Father Josiah discusses how true spiritual transformation requires both intellectual assent and practical obedience, guiding believers toward union with Christ.

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;

Introduction to the series The Sacred Canons: An Introduction to Ecclesiastical LawPatristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new four-lecture series entitled The Sacred Canons: An Introduction to Ecclesiastical Law by Father Josiah Trenham. The Holy Canons of the Orthodox Church are a part of the sacred deposit of the Christian faith, an essential expression of Holy Tradition given by the Lord Christ to His Church together with other portions of Apostolic Tradition like the Holy Scriptures, the Nicene Creed, the Lives of the Saints, the teachings of the Holy Fathers, the sacred arts, liturgical hymnody, and more. The collection of the canons is called the Pedalion, or in English, the Rudder. The Canons function in the Body of Christ as a rudder functions in a ship- guiding the vessel on its proper course and steering her into the green pastures of God’s providential blessing. In these lectures, you may obtain an overview of the Apostolic Canons, the Canons of the Ecumenical Councils and the Local Councils approved by the Ecumenical Councils, the Canons of the Holy Fathers (with special attention shown to the 92 Canons of St. Basil, the Great), as well as a concluding lecture surveying the canonical teaching on marriage.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lecture #1 - Four Mediations on Art and the Church

In an age unmoored and adrift from any solid and unchanging vision for marriage itself, these lectures prove timely and are designed to root deeply within listeners a patristic vision for marriage. It is this expansive and glorious vision, articulated in the Scriptures and by the Church Fathers, that is to inspire the practical and every-day outworking of Christian marriage and family life. The God-ordained purposes of marriage are fixed, and for God-fearing Christians keep marriage from becoming a wax-nose manipulated and deformed by debased cultures and secular elites.

Holy Martyr Photini the Samaritan Woman

Have you ever heard of St. Phanourios, the patron saint of lost things?  St Phanourios is known in the Orthodox Church as a saint who helps people find lost or stolen items. We ask St. Phanourios to help us find whatever we lost, and when we find it, we bake a cake and share it with friends and loved ones to give thanks. This special tradition comes from Greece and the special olive oil citrus cake is called “Phanouropita!” You can also bake this cake on his feast day, August 27th. In this episode, we are baking phanouropita donuts, which is ideal for sharing with others, an important element in the tradition!

You can read more about this tradition and find the recipe on my blog: https://www.asceticlifeofmotherhood.com/blog/phanouropita-donuts

Ingredients
1-1/4 cups vegetable oil (or substitute for oil of choice)

2-1/2 cups sugar

1-1/4 cups warm water

Grated rind of 1 orange 

1/2 cup orange juice (fresh orange juice is best)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

3 tsp baking powder

4 cups white flour

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Sift flour, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a large bowl and set aside.

Using a whisk, combine oil and sugar until blended.

Add the warm water, orange rind, orange juice, and walnuts and mix well.

Slowly add the flour mixture and combine until smooth.

Add raisins and walnuts (if adding).

Pour batter into well-greased donut pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

<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>
<div style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Lecture titles are:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</div>

The Golden Age?

Lecture #3 - The Humility of the Holy Prophet and God-Seer Moses

Join us for the Spring Conference at St. Andrew Orthodox Church, Riverside, CA, March 21-23, 2025. Focus on repentance with Bishop Irenaeus and Father Alexis Torrance. *Register at*  www.conference.patristicnectar.org.

In this video, Father Josiah explores the significance of speech and the impact of words in building relationships, particularly in marriage. Drawing from the teachings of St. John Chrysostom, we reflect on how husbands can use language to uplift their wives and strengthen their bond. The video also highlights God's use of terms of endearment throughout scripture and how we can incorporate these into our own lives.

Homily | The Humble Throne of Christ - Palm Sunday (April 13, 2025)

These lectures examine in detail the pervasive influence of the digital revolution in all aspects of contemporary life. The meaning of both the form and content of the technologies in our unique information age is revealed, and a paradigm for utilizing technology in a humanizing and soul-profiting way is set forth.

Have you ever wanted to learn more about Lent and the different ways you can cultivate your own Lenten journey with your own family? 

Great Lent is a special gift that the Church gives us in order to help us re-focus our lives on Christ.  The Church has set aside 40 days as a special time of repentance and calls us to a long and sustained spiritual effort.  It is comparable to a school of repentance in which every Christian can go yearly in order to deepen their faith, re-evaluate, and, if possible, to change their lives. It’s a wonderful journey to the very source of the Orthodox faith; a rediscovery of the Christian way of life. As we recognize this significant shift in our liturgical calendar, I wanted to provide resources and ideas to help you cultivate a lenten environment in your homes and with your families and share our favorite breakfast smoothie recipe!

Berry Smoothie 

Makes 1 smoothie!

Handful of spinach
1/2 banana
2 tbsp peanut butter 
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp hemp hearts
1 tbsp flaxseed
3/4 cup frozen berries
3/4 cup water (or coconut water)

Blend and serve immediately.

Lent: Tips for Orthodox Families

Lecture #1 - The Humility of God

Father Josiah Trenham examines sports betting and gambling through the lens of Christian ethics, exploring their connection to greed and the distortion of stewardship. Drawing from Church teaching, he discusses how these practices undermine spiritual well-being and foster a culture of exploitation. Is gambling merely entertainment, or does it lead to deeper moral and societal consequences? Watch to gain a thoughtful, theological perspective.
