Fire Over the Narrow Gate - Round 1 (Episodes 1-2)
Cliff Francisque for Caleb Montgomery
Living in solitude out in the mountains near a large city, Caleb is a middle aged-older man with a history of tragedy. Devout Christian, humbled, rough around the edges, gentle, kind, charitable, mildly fearful, courageous when he needs to be, a modern prophet. Carries the weight of his wife’s untimely death, but doesn’t let it embitter him. When in doubt, leans on scripture. Maintains a personal relationship with Christ. Warns gently, acts swiftly. (m) - Willing to accept all American accents, as long as the emotional tone of the character is met. If doing an accent, make it subtle please. I'd like it if the accent compliments the character and doesn't become the character's identity.

I don’t expect everyone to understand, when I give a sermon. The point isn’t that everyone understands, just those willing to listen. Not everyone listens, you know? It’s easy to just wait for your turn to speak, holding onto that thought you had the moment you ended your last sentence, clinging to that idea you’re afraid you’ll forget the moment the other person is done speaking, all while grinning enthusiastically, pretending you’ve digested every word that has been said. In a way, it’s like a person is lying, don’t you think? But when we listen, truly take in the substance of what’s being said, allowing ourselves to absorb every word… then we’re truly being honest. That’s who my sermons are for, that’s who I want to reach… The honest.
(In sermon) "And Jesus answered and said to them, 'take heed that no man deceive you! For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ!'" that is, that they represent the truth, because Jesus also says about himself in John, "I am the way and the Truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me."
(Cautiously) It's ok, I come in peace.... I'm not armed. This is my property, I just want to know what you're doing here and.... (notices injury, increases concern) what happened to you?
