I desire to be Orthodox. Please pray for my wife Cathy. She is against Orthodoxy. God bless you all!

After twenty years as a Protestant; I'm new to the Orthodox faith and allow me just to say that Josiah Trenham has been insurmountably helpful. Thank you for sharing his material.

Absolutely one of the best presentations I've come across. I'm so pleased YT put this in my fee, Fr Trenham always knocks it out the park. Glory to God! 🙏☦️

So glad I've discovered the Orthodox Church! ✌️

was just recently chrismated into the Holy Orthodox church a couple of weeks ago, Love listening to fr Josiah Trenham.

God has blessed Father Trenham, with a gift. Father has submitted his will to God, and God has gifted him to be the light. When we see Father Trenham, we need to acknowlege the Holy Spirit working through him. I have been inspired now, to take that baby step, comparitively. Im very humbled and tearful listening to this, because I have so much more to do. + I pray all of us can be spiritually well, in His compasionate and inexhaustable mercy+

The Church has always been the hospital for the sick. Once again Father Josiah very well done.

Wow! What can I say. I love Jesus and I love this priest. Thank God for this man's ministry.

58:00 My Protestant father, when asked how he is, will often reply, "by the grace of God, I am better than I deserve."

I’ve taken his advice on anger and it has helped tremendously! Thank you father Trenham! I like to watch this video from time to time, invaluable insight into our Orthodox Faith.

Father Trenham's ministry is exceptional and has helped many, many people both inside Orthodoxy and outside of Orthodoxy.

Amen Praise the lord ☦️🛐

THANK you St. Elias Cathedral at Ottawa of One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church for hosting this event and this recording. 🙏❤️☦️

Thank you Fr. Josiah for this powerful lecture. I have been thinking a lot about diseases that appear in the life of the saints. Saint Porphyrios wrote: The secret in illness is to struggle to acquire the grace of God. We benefit greatly from our illnesses, as long as we endure them without complaint and glorify God, asking for His mercy. When we become ill, the important thing is not that we don’t take medicines or that we go and pray to Saint Nektarios. We need also to know the other secret, namely, to struggle to acquire the grace of God. This is the secret. Grace will teach us all the other things, namely, how to abandon ourselves to Christ. That is, we ignore the illness, we do not think about it, we think about Christ, simply, imperceptibly and selflessly and God works His miracle for the good of our soul. Just as we say in the Divine Liturgy, ‘we commend all our life to Christ our God.’ But we need to wish to ignore the illness. If we don’t wish to, it’s difficult. We can’t simply say, ‘I ignore it’. And so although we think that we are ignoring it and giving no thought to it, in point of fact we have it in our mind continually and we cannot find peace within ourselves. Let me prove this to you. We say: ‘I believe that God will cure me. I won’t take any medicine. I’ll stay awake all night and I’ll pray to God about it and He will hear me.’ We pray all night long, we make entreaty, we call on and coerce God and all the saints to make us well. We go to one place and another. With all these things don’t we show that we are far from ignoring the illness? The more we insist and blackmail the saints and God to make us well, the more acutely we feel our illness. The more we strive to get rid of it, the more we feel it. And so we achieve nothing. And we have the impression that a miracle will happen, and yet, in reality, we don’t believe it, and so we do not become better. We pray and we don’t take medicine, but we don’t find any peace and no miracle happens. But you will say: ‘What do you mean that I don’t believe? Don’t you see I haven’t taken any medicine?’ And yet, at bottom, we have doubt and fear within us and we think to ourselves, ‘Will it really happen?’ Here the words of Scripture hold good: If you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘be lifted up and thrown into the sea’, it will be done. [7] When faith is real, whether you take medicine or not, the grace of God will act. And God acts through doctors and medicines. The Wisdom of Sirach says: Honour the physician with the honours due to him, according to your need of him, for the Lord created him. The Lord created medicines from the earth, and a man of sense will not despise them. And give the physician his place, for the Lord created him; let him not leave you, for there is need of him. [8] The whole secret is faith ? without doubts, gentle, simple and artless: in simplicity and artlessness of heart. [9] It is not a question of ‘will power’ or ‘mind over matter’. A fakir can display this kind of ‘will power’. It is a question of having faith that God loves us with infinite love and wants us to become His own. That is why He allows illnesses, until we surrender ourselves in trust to Him. If we love Christ, all things will change in our lives. We do not love Him in order to receive some reward such as health. Rather we love Him out of gratitude, without thinking of anything, only of the love of God. Nor should we pray with any ulterior motive and say to God: ‘Make such-and-such a person well, so that he may come close to You.’ It is not right to point out ways and means to God. How can we presume to say to God, ‘make me well’? What can we tell to Him who knows everything? We will pray, but God may not wish to listen to us. A person asked me a little while ago, ‘When will I get well?’ ‘Ah,’ I told him, ‘if you say, “When will I get well?” then you never will get well. It’s not right to entreat God about such things. You entreat anxiously for God to take the illness from you, but then the illness lays even tighter hold on you. We mustn’t ask for this. Nor should you pray about this.’ He was taken aback and said, ‘Do you mean I shouldn’t pray?’ ‘Not at all,’ I answered. ‘On the contrary, pray a great deal, but for God to forgive your sins and to give you strength to love Him and to give yourself to Him. Because the more you pray for the illness to leave you, the more it adheres to you, winds its tentacles around you and squeezes you, and becomes inseparable from you. If, of course, you feel an inner human weakness, then you may humbly entreat the Lord to take the illness from you.’

Thank you and God bless !!!

It's been probably 6 or so years since I last attended Vespers Saturday evening mass at St. Andrew's in Riverside CA and it's been a very rocky road with many changes in elevation along the journey. One constant is that I feel the pull back to the church. I have spent countless hours academically studying Orthodox Christianity and more sinning. My bottom fell out last November and it's been a struggle to pull myself up from the mud and Meijer. Still at 2/3rds mass mentally/spiritually and much less physically and in space. After all that I still do not know how one goes about being officially baptized in the church. Perhaps someone will give me some direction on this.

Heavenly Physician

We definitely want more, and that is absolutely fine

May God 💖💙💚grant me just a scootch more patience@ I:00:00 ⚠️blessed Father may finally lay out The Divine prescriptions for our various passions. ☦️thank you for this Video 💯

I had a good dream about going to hospital church and I went to hospital church

everything is possible..illness is treat..

Protestant being drawn to orthodoxy

I have a question: The clergy always cling to community, church, etc... yet the saints mostly lived alone...and church rules changed throughout the years (they got watered down). So why can one not be saved if he dislikes large groups? I've been to fhe church a few times during liturgy and honestly it was annoying: People crowded like sardines, a priest singing decently, that's ok, and children screaming and causing a fuss... I'm a believer and yet I can't stand being in such an environment. If the world will be like this one only God all in all, why can't I just continue living like now - a minor, non-extreme recluse. I'm totally fine with having a few close people and ignoring others..

Greetings from the Protestant galaxy.

A pity, I don't live nearby, I would ask him questions...

Why Jesus is the last Adam and the first born? How this goes together, i can't comprehend. The first born is more suitable.

I am interested... that after watching, and hearing everything is possible after F. Seraphim Rose... his F. Josiah lectures/files come forth... Should i trust his words? Please comment!

Part ii?

My friend will be baptized next weekend into Christian Ortodox Faith. Please pray for her and send her blessings:)) Also: Does this Reverand have own channel?

@56:30 I try not to say good anymore.

Where can we watch these weekly liturgy?

Hello.

Pls translate in malayalam

Last Adam

Anyone found a source for the claim about Aubrey de Grey saying "so many women, so little time"?

“If everyone is nice and kind to you all your life you will go to hell” WOW!!! 🤯🤯

The sign of the cross appears to be done "backward" to the long standing Catholic church's sign which this appears to be a copy cat of.

This is a doctrine taught in many church's... nowhere in scriptures is it written. This is like the doctrine of the Christmas god. (Trinity )Babylonian god Tammuz born Dec 25th. To us there is but one God the Father ( Yahuah) and one Lord Jesus Christ.Yahshua ( Hebrew name) has no birthday and you won't either when you meet Him. We are soldiers equipped to pull the sin sick out of this sin sick world.You can not serve Yahshua and still be sin sick ( practicing sin) We are in a spiritual battle not a spiritual hospital. Yahshua said I didn't come for the well..but the sick...well who's the well???? It is well with my soul.

This is not my friend.

No Orthodox.

Holy priest you may by now came to orthodox Church priest was shot in France. Same thing I again want to tell priests catholic including orthodox that how sexual desire is sinful. Where priest went against 6th commandments. Therefore sex is one of the biggest evil act makes humanbeing to be criminal.

The anti gay has to stop. It is lazy and dumb.

This man might sort of be evil.
