What ‘Fallen Nature’ Really Means

About this sermon

Father Josiah Trenham + Bishop Irenei What does it really mean to say that humanity has a “fallen nature”? Is this just Western theological baggage — or is it deeply rooted in Orthodox tradition? In this video, we explore how the Orthodox Church understands the language of the “Fall” — not as a doctrine of total depravity, but as a profound spiritual condition described throughout the Fathers, liturgical texts, and scripture. Discover why Orthodox theology still uses terms like "fallen man," and how fasting, almsgiving, and true repentance are tools for healing, not punishment. 📲 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
