Fire & Fragrance South Africa Podcast

This week, Ailea Gibson leans into storytelling and walks us through The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis, unpacking the quiet danger of spiritual dullness. We talk about how drifting from God rarely feels dramatic — it’s slow, subtle, and easy to miss. Through Lewis’ imagery, we’re reminded what it means to stay awake, hold onto truth, and resist the fog that makes us forget.

In this episode, Caleb Cox explores the life of Aaron and what it means to be called a holy priesthood through 1 Peter 2:4. From miracles and priestly garments to the failure of the golden calf, Aaron’s story holds both glory and weakness in tension. Yet after his greatest failure, he was still anointed by God as leader. This episode reminds us that God’s calling over your life is not cancelled by your worst moment.

In this episode, we unpack Luke 10 and the parable of the Good Samaritan, showing that being a neighbour is something you become. In a world where your identity means safety and belonging, Jesus redefines 'neighbour' as the one who draws near to suffering.

To be human is to be on a quest. Whether we realise it or not, our lives are always moving toward what we love. Our desires shape our direction, and our worship quietly forms who we are becoming.
In this episode, we explore the truth that we are primarily loving beings — not just thinking ones. What you love will shape you. Jesus invites us into true humanity through the Great Commandment: to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength — not as pressure, but as freedom.

This week, Caleb Cox unpacks 1 John 4 through four key themes: God’s nature as love, the non-negotiable call to love one another, how Jesus makes the invisible God visible, and how the cross frees us from fear while deepening our reverence.
