I don't know, Jon. Better ask at the Pappas Patristic Institute.

I contacted the Institute. No livestreaming, but lectures will be recorded and offered free on YouTube at a later date.

The patristic writers of old did not attend seminaries,

did not receive denominational credentials, did not submit to modern ordination pipelines, and did not operate under institutional gatekeeping.

They were persecuted, exiled, hunted, Spirit‑taught,

Scripture‑saturated, and burning with revelation. Their authority came from encounter, not endorsement.

There is nothing wrong with study, history, theology,

patristics, conferences, or academic work.

But none of these can produce calling, unction,

revelation, spiritual authority, discernment, or

apostolic weight.

Those come from YAHWEH alone.
