The NorthWord

St. Johns `s Fort Smith, The Anglican Family, and Fr. Aaron Solberg

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.

    The Source of the Shine — Transfiguration Sunday

    Send a text What happens after the mountain? On this Transfiguration Sunday — the last Sunday of Epiphany before we enter Lent — Father Aaron preaches from Matthew 17:1-9 on the moment Jesus is revealed in blinding light before Peter, James, and John. Peter wants to stay. Jesus says it's time to go back down. And that tension is the whole story of the Christian life. The mountain gives you vision. The valley is where that vision becomes real. As we step into 40 days of Lent, this episode challenges you to ask: are you world-grounded or Christ-grounded? And what will you GRIP, GIVE UP, and GIVE OUT this season?  Support the show

    MONDAY: The Private Hobby Problem
