The NorthWord
NorthWord is a daily Christian podcast from St. John's Fort Smith in collaboration with the Anglican Family. Hosted by Father Aaron from Fort Smith, Northwest Territories.
Here's how it works: Every Sunday we release the full sermon preached that morning. Then Monday through Saturday, you get 3-5 minute daily reflections based on that sermon - one thought you can actually use each day. Every Wednesday we explore the rhythm of Jesus' life and how his followers have lived it out for 2,000 years.
Whether you're Pentecostal, Orthodox, Baptist, Catholic, or just curious about faith - this is for you. Ancient faith. Real life. No fluff.
The Word. The North. Your Week.

WEDNESDAY: Forty Days and What They Mean
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We're in the first full week of Lent - forty days that mirror Jesus' time in the wilderness. This Wednesday we explore why the number forty shows up everywhere in Scripture and what it means that the Church puts Jesus in the desert at the very beginning of our Lenten journey.
