The Heresy That Denied Repentance

Father Alexis Torrance & Father Josiah Trenham What happens when Christians believe repentance is impossible after serious sin? In this compelling conversation, Fr. Josiah Trenham and Fr. Alexis Torrance explore the early Church heresy of Novatianism and its rejection of mercy for apostates. Learn why the Church condemned this puritanical movement, and discover the deep meaning of Christlike repentance—repenting not just for ourselves, but for others. This episode brings to life the teachings of St. John Chrysostom, St. Paul, and the saints who stood "in the breach" for the world. 📲 Access More Orthodox Content: Patristic Nectar App: App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/patristic-nectar/id6502949324 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=patristic+nectar+app&c=apps Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VKxdB2ZCzk8evUA4V7tku?si=b679feac4ab34d63 New Book – Enduring Love: Laying Christian Foundations for Marriage Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Enduring-Love-Christian-Foundations-Marriage/dp/1735011657 Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/enduring-love-josiah-trenham/1144547044?ean=9781735011653 🙏 Support Our Ministry: Make a Donation: *Text “PNP” to 53555 to make a tax-deductible donation.* Merchandise: https://patristic-nectar.mybigcommerce.com Pray for Us 🔔 Subscribe & Share: Help spread the wisdom of the Church Fathers by liking, sharing, and subscribing! #OrthodoxChristianity #ChurchFathers #ChristianFaith #SpiritualGrowth #FaithAndWorks #Theology #EasternOrthodoxy #Catechesis #ChristianTradition #GospelTruth #ChristianDoctrine #OrthodoxTeaching #DivineWisdom #ChristianLiving #NoOtherGods #FatherJosiahTrenham #PatristicNectar
