In this powerful conversation, Ruslan sits down with Father Josiah Trenham, a prominent Eastern Orthodox priest, author, and YouTuber, for an in-depth dialogue about sacred architecture, spiritual formation, and reclaiming the culture for Christ.Father Josiah shares the incredible story of how his Riverside parish began in a hot, windowless warehouse next to a train track—and how, through faith, grit, and community, it became a breathtaking church modeled after a 13th-century Greek structure. They explore why Orthodox churches are lavishly built, the deep symbolism behind facing east in worship, and why believers literally spit west when renouncing Satan.The discussion expands into critiques of modern universities and hospitals, the rise of secularism, and how Christians have slowly retreated from institutions they once built—from Ivy League schools to popular art and culture. Father Josiah argues that this retreat stems from cold hearts more than just cultural pressure, urging believers to reorient their lives around God's kingdom, not escape the world but transform it.Whether you're curious about Orthodox tradition, hungry for spiritual depth, or wrestling with how to live out your faith in a secular age—this episode will challenge, inspire, and reawaken your vision.

The influence of fathers cannot be understated. Throughout our society and even within the church, we see the devastating effects of fatherlessness as well as passive fathering. Most fathers truly desire to be the very best father they can be. There are many opinions about what a good father is or does. However, we should look at our Heavenly Father and the relationship He has with His Son to gain some insight and encouragement. Let's all take a deliberate look at our Heavenly Father today.

The Wisdom of Sirach or Ecclesiasticus, as the book is known in the Western or Latin tradition, is a choice composition from the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament.  Written in the 2nd century BC in Hebrew and translated into Greek by the author's grandson in Alexandria, Egypt, this majestic portion of Holy Scripture combines the rich aphorisms of traditional Hebrew sapiential literature with the concerns and background of 2nd-century Hellenic culture. Jesus, the Son of Sirach, was highly prized by the Church Fathers from the earliest days of the Church. In these five lectures, Father Josiah hones in on the themes of learning and seeking wisdom, humility, work, wealth, almsgiving, friendship, social life, wives, women, medicine and physicians, youth and aging, and wise speech and the power of words. In these topical lectures, practical substance is given to the practice of the fear of God in a wide array of human activity so that the servant of God pleases the Lord and lives thoroughly and thoughtfully before Him.

The Wisdom of Sirach or Ecclesiasticus, as the book is known in the Western or Latin tradition, is a choice composition from the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament.  Written in the 2nd century BC in Hebrew and translated into Greek by the author's grandson in Alexandria, Egypt, this majestic portion of Holy Scripture combines the rich aphorisms of traditional Hebrew sapiential literature with the concerns and background of 2nd-century Hellenic culture. Jesus, the Son of Sirach, was highly prized by the Church Fathers from the earliest days of the Church. In these five lectures, Father Josiah hones in on the themes of learning and seeking wisdom, humility, work, wealth, almsgiving, friendship, social life, wives, women, medicine and physicians, youth and aging, and wise speech and the power of words. In these topical lectures, practical substance is given to the practice of the fear of God in a wide array of human activity so that the servant of God pleases the Lord and lives thoroughly and thoughtfully before Him.

[Evangelicals, on this episode, we aren't laughing at you.  The guest is too nice to do this and I'd be too much a hypocrite]We released Eastern Orthodox Part 1 with former "rock stars (Luxury) gone Orthodox Priests" because I had no idea what the heck it meant to be orthodox and had to know.  Little did I know, the episode would influence my brother (former co-host and current producer of this show) to fully convert to the best paradigm of faith he's ever worshipped in, perfectly suited to how he's wired up.  He's all in, I'm happy for him.   -- Joey But there's more to the story.  The Orthodox church is THE REAL church?  My brother claims there's one true church and the implications would say that most of us aren't in it.  Father Josiah Trenham Ph.d, comes on to discuss this very question.  He also explains the importance of church buildings, “the invisible church doctrine” of evangelicals, how the functionality evangelicals ascribe to the “sinner's prayer” is heresy, how Pentecostals aren't Pentecostal enough and how prayer is the goal of life.  The question is posed here also, “If the true church is infallible, why did most of its adherents take part in the American slavery?”At top of episode, me and some friends talk moral dilemmas and pacifism. FATHER JOSIAH TRENHAM is a native Southern Californian. He was ordained to the Holy Priesthood in 1993, and was awarded the Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Durham, England, in 2004. He has served as pastor of St. Andrew Orthodox Church in Riverside, Ca. since 1998.  Father Josiah was married in 1988, and has ten children.Robbie MadisonWeb / Instagram / Music Hayne is on Classmates.com.  Join us as a Patron!

In this four-part lecture series, Father Josiah presents an exposition of St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians. Of all St. Paul's letters in the New Testament, Philippians is the most personal. The Great Apostle had a very dear relationship with this local church, and the theme of Christian joy radiates in each of the four chapters. This is deeply intriguing since St. Paul wrote this joyful letter of thanksgiving while he was in prison! In this sacred letter is revealed the world-conquering mystery of Christian faith. Here St. Paul unveils the orientation of his entire life when he says, "For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Each of the chapters contains some of the most sublime teachings of the Gospel, including in chapter 2 the most detailed apostolic teaching on the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ found in the entire New Testament. These lectures are presented with the sincere hope that a more thorough study of this Pauline letter will fill believers with the joy which St. Paul models and of which he speaks.

Please enjoy our newest offering, a ten part lecture series by Father Josiah entitled A Heart for God: Lessons from the Life of the Holy King and Prophet David 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 “heart for God.” David's sin, in infamy 2nd only to that of Adam, has been meditated upon by believers, as has David's deep repentance—which has provided an image for countless penitents to imitate over the centuries in order to find peace with God. In these ten lectures Father Josiah surveys 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's throne at the right hand of the Father; the one's whose heart is gentle and perfect: Jesus Christ the Lord. All ten lectures are available for download for $20 (or individually for $3 each)…lecture 1 is free for download. Lecture # 1 The Rise of a Humble Shepherd Lecture # 2 Killing Giants: David and Goliath Lecture # 3 Hunted: David and Saul Lecture # 4 Soul Friendship: David and Jonathan Lecture # 5 Davidic Covenant and Coronation Lecture # 6 The Wars of the King Lecture # 7 Sin and Repentance Lecture # 8 Suffering in Family and Kingdom Lecture # 9 The Sweet Psalmist of Israel Lecture # 10 The Last Days of the King To download the remaining lectures, please visit our website at http://www.patristicnectar.org
