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.

Valley of Shame | What Shame Is Really Doing to You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Shame doesn't just make you feel bad — it makes you hide. And the hiding is the real problem. Today we open the third week of Lent by naming the core challenge: the cycle of shame, isolation, and hiding that keeps us from the life God has for us.
