What Jesus Really Meant By "Repent"

About this sermon

Father Alexis Torrance & Father Josiah Trenham What did Jesus really mean when He said “Repent”? Discover the deeper meaning of the Greek word metanoite and why repentance isn’t a one-time act—but a lifelong transformation. In this video, we explore the threefold path of repentance as taught by the ascetic fathers, including Saint Mark the Ascetic and Saint Isaac the Syrian. Learn how repentance is not just confession of sin, but a total reorientation of the mind and heart toward Christ. 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. 📲 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
