🎧 EPISODE 4 — THE RAGMAN

Some moments don’t arrive loudly.
They don’t announce themselves or demand attention.
They simply wait for us to notice.

In Episode 4 of Oak Hill, Chase Smith faces his first real test of calling—not in the youth room, but in the quiet space between fear and trust. After a painful encounter with a powerful church member, Chase turns to Pastor Reed Halvorsen for guidance, expecting correction… and receiving something very different.

As Sunday unfolds at Oak Hill, Reed leads the congregation through Scripture in an unexpected way, offering a story that reframes faith not as performance, but as exchange. Through music, shared voices, and a sermon centered on The Ragman, the church is invited into a holy moment—one that lingers long after the benediction is spoken.

But grace has a way of stirring resistance.

What begins as warmth and laughter in Sunday School quietly turns, and Chase finds himself standing in the open—questioned, exposed, and about to discover what kind of leadership Oak Hill truly practices when comfort and calling collide.

Oak Hill is a narrative podcast set in the early 1990s, exploring faith, mentorship, power, and the moments that shape who we become—long before we realize they matter.

🎧 PENDRAGON TALES — Episode 10 Description — The Great Tournament

🔥 False Coronation — “Heaven Chooses the Humble”

Crowns are not forged from gold alone.
They are forged from belief.

Belief in the man who wears them.
Belief in the land that bears them.
Belief that heaven has not turned its face away.

As Arthur marches toward the coming battle at Badon, Britain hesitates.
Fear spreads. Whispers rise. And when kingdoms grow uncertain, they do what they have always done:

They stage a spectacle…
and call it proof.

A grand tournament is announced — a celebration meant to unite the realm before war.
But beneath the banners, laughter, and polished armor lies a dangerous question:

Is Arthur truly the chosen king… or can Britain crown someone else?

Disguised and unannounced, Arthur enters a field built on ancient stones — older than Rome, older than memory — and watches as strength is mistaken for worthiness, and confidence for calling. A rival ruler moves to claim the crown in public view… until the land itself responds.

What follows is no duel of blades, but a confrontation between pride and humility, spectacle and surrender.

And at the edge of the gathering, unseen by most, a darker witness observes — silent, patient, and already moving his pieces.

This episode marks a turning point in Pendragon Tales:

• The king is tested

• The people are exposed

• And a shadow tied to a child’s laughter begins to take shape

Because crowds may choose what dazzles them…
but heaven chooses what kneels.

EPISODE 2 — The Star Over Britain

Before crowns were forged.
Before swords were raised.
Before the world knew a king was coming…
the heavens spoke first.

In the frozen hush of a broken Britain, a single white-gold star tears across the winter sky.
Warlords dismiss it.
Druids debate it.
The powerful ignore it.

But the humble — shepherds, widows, forgotten souls kneeling beside dying hearth fires — feel something stir they cannot explain.

Merlin alone understands the truth:
this light is not a warning…
it is an invitation.

Just as a star once rose over Bethlehem — not for emperors, but for seekers — so this sign in the heavens points toward a birth the proud will overlook and the lowly will recognize.
A birth that threatens kingdoms built on iron instead of virtue.
A king who will come quietly, precisely when darkness believes it has won.

This episode explores the mystery at the heart of Advent:
that hope rarely arrives with trumpets,
that heaven speaks in whispers,
and that the greatest changes in history often begin unseen.

If you’ve ever felt surrounded by cold, uncertainty, or silence —
this chapter is your reminder:
Light always knows where to find the faithful.

The star has risen.
The journey has begun.
And the world will never be the same.

Every winter ends. Every silence breaks. A king is on the way.

🎧 EPISODE 3 — THE SERMON

Some moments don’t break you.
They reveal what you believe about power.

This chapter of Oak Hill unfolds in the early 1990s—
before cell phones, before social media, before screens offered an escape.
In a world of landlines, face-to-face conversations, and handwritten notes,
conflict had to be faced head-on.

Fresh off his first youth group night, Chase Smith returns to the quiet halls of Oak Hill Community Church to retrieve a forgotten guitar—
and walks straight into his first test.

A respected church member.
A disappointed father.
A polite smile carrying sharp words.

In a brief hallway exchange, Chase is measured, questioned, and left shaken—
judged not by his calling, but by a bored teenager’s report.

The weight follows him home.
Doubt sets in.
And for the first time since arriving at Oak Hill, Chase considers walking away.

But Sunday brings something unexpected.

Pastor Reed Halvorsen takes the pulpit and opens to the parable of the prodigal son—
not as a story of rebellion and return,
but as a portrait of a Father whose love runs toward the broken, not away from them.

Through Scripture, quiet illustrations, and a message rooted in hope,
Chase is reminded of a truth deeper than criticism:
calling is not sustained by approval, but by love.

By the time the sermon ends, Chase knows something has shifted.
He is exactly where he is supposed to be.

Still, questions remain.

In a private meeting days later, Chase finally tells Reed everything—
the hallway, the words, the fear that he’s already failed.

And Reed’s response—
the one Chase is bracing himself for—
will change everything.

If you’ve ever feared that power would outweigh calling…
if you’ve ever wondered whether obedience is worth the cost…
this chapter is for you.

This is the test.
This is the tension.
This is Oak Hill.

🎧 EPISODE 2 — PANIC

Some stories are carved in stone.
Others are written quietly—
in late-night conversations,
in creaking pews,
in small sanctuaries where the carpet is old
but the grace is new every morning.

Oak Hill tells the story of a young man named Chase Smith, wandering through the ashes of a broken plan in the early 1990s. Before Cell phones, Social Media, and the internet.

Fresh out of college, broke, disillusioned, and feeling abandoned by his own calling, Chase stumbles into Oak Hill Community Church—a tiny A-frame tucked into the quiet town of Redwood Glen.

Chase Smith has been at Oak Hill for four days… and panic is already setting in.
His first youth group meeting is just days away, and there’s only one problem:

He has absolutely no idea what he’s doing.

In desperation, Chase turns to Pastor Reed Halvorsen—the man whose confidence, creativity, and calm leadership seem almost effortless. Surely Reed will give him the blueprint. The formula. The step-by-step plan.

But Reed has other ideas.

In a quiet, life-shaping conversation inside his coffee-scented office, Reed hands Chase something far more frightening—and far more freeing—than instructions.

He hands him responsibility.
Ownership.
Calling.

“That’s why I hired you,” Reed says.
And with that, Chase must take his first step into ministry… without a safety net.

Episode 2 explores the nerves, the honesty, the humor, and the sacred uncertainty of building something new. And it ends with the first spark of conflict within Oak Hill’s walls—an early sign that not everyone will welcome Chase’s presence.

If you’ve ever started something you felt unprepared for, this chapter is for you.

This is the beginning.
This is the spark.
This is Oak Hill.
