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.

The Mountain Top Experience Podcast - Ep. 56. - 99 Songs About Jesus with Yvonne Hartman

How do you write ninety-nine songs about Jesus without running out of things to say?

In this episode of The Mountain Top Experience Podcast, hosts Kevin, Carlos, and Dave welcome singer, songwriter, recording artist, and worship leader Yvonne Hartman for an encouraging conversation about faith, music, and the creative journey God has led her on.

Yvonne shares how she came to know Jesus Christ and how that relationship eventually grew into a ministry of writing and performing Contemporary Christian music. She also offers thoughtful insight into her philosophy of leading worship, explaining how authentic worship points people to Christ rather than to the person on the platform.

The conversation then turns to songwriting as Yvonne describes her unique collaborative writing process and the remarkable story behind completing 99 Songs About Jesus—a project born from a desire to honor Christ through music.

As a special bonus, Yvonne performs her 99th song about Jesus live during the episode, giving listeners an intimate glimpse into the heart behind her music and ministry.

Whether you're a worship leader, songwriter, musician, or simply someone who enjoys hearing how God works through ordinary lives, this episode will encourage your faith and remind you that every song has a story—and every story can point to Jesus.
