Episode Description:

The Mountain Top Experience Podcast - Ep. 57. - You Gotta Have a Bible in One Hand and a Cup of Cold Water in the Other with Dale Twigg

What does it look like to faithfully preach the Word while compassionately serving people where they hurt the most?

In this episode of The Mountain Top Experience Podcast, the hosts welcomes Dale Twigg, a graduate of Westminster Theological Seminary, author, poet, musician, hospice chaplain, and missionary. Dale's life has been shaped by a simple but profound conviction. Biblical truth and practical compassion belong together. As he says, "You gotta have a Bible in one hand and a cup of cold water in the other."

The conversation explores how years of serving both the dying and the desperately poor have shaped Dale's understanding of ministry. Hospice care continually reminds him that every life has eternal value, while missionary work keeps him grounded in the realities of human need around the world. Together, those callings have given him a unique perspective on faith, suffering, hope, and what it means to truly love people in Christ's name.

Dale also shares the remarkable story of God's call on his life, a testimony that reveals how the Lord prepares and directs those He chooses for His service. Along the way, he reflects on poetry, music, and the role of creativity in expressing the hope found in Jesus Christ.

As a special part of this episode, Dale reads his moving poem "The Farmer's Lament" from his book DESERT DREAMS: of Faith, Hope, and Love. The collection brings together original poems, songs, and thoughtful quotations that explore the enduring themes of faith, hope, and love while pointing readers to the peace found in Jesus Christ.

Whether you're involved in ministry, caring for a loved one, wrestling with God's calling, or simply looking for encouragement, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder that truth and compassion were never meant to be separated.
