The Mountain Top Experience Podcast - Ep. 60 - Show Up and Shut Up with Randy Doaty

Grief can leave us searching for the right words when sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply show up.

In the second episode of our series on grief, The Mountain Top Experience Podcast leaves the studio for our first-ever episode recorded live with an audience. Hosts Carlos DeJesus, Kevin Ostromecki, and Dave Johnson are joined by Randy Doaty for a panel discussion recorded under the Tent Revival Tent at Laurel Mountain Ministries.

Randy initially received grief ministry training through GriefShare and now provides grief training at Morning Star Fellowship. Drawing from that experience, Randy joins Carlos, Kevin, and Dave for an open conversation about grief, loss, and how we walk alongside people who are hurting.

Sometimes helping isn't about having an answer, explaining the loss, or finding the perfect thing to say. Sometimes it's knowing when to show up and shut up.

A note about the audio: This episode was recorded live through the PA system rather than in our podcast studio, so the sound is different from our regular studio episodes. It captures our first experience recording The Mountain Top Experience with a live audience under the Tent Revival Tent.

The Mountain Top Experience Podcast - Ep. 59. - Retiring Into a Ministry of Support with Sharon Cramer

Retirement didn't mean stepping away from ministry for Sharon Cramer. It meant discovering a new way to serve.

Sharon joins hosts Kevin Ostromecki and Dave Johnson to share her testimony of retiring to care for her husband, Bill, through cancer and later Lewy body dementia, which eventually led to his death. She talks candidly about caregiving, losing Bill, walking through her own grief, and the recovery that followed and how her sorrow moved her closer to God.

Out of those experiences grew a ministry of support for others. Today, Sharon serves as a lay minister at New Ridge Fellowship, where she leads the church's GriefShare program and provides continued support after participants complete the program.

Sharon's story is a testimony of how God can use our own experiences of loss and healing to prepare us to walk alongside others when they need someone who understands.

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.

Learn more about Yvonne Hartman, her music, ministry, concert schedule, and resources at YvonneHartman.com. Her ministry is dedicated to sharing the Gospel through original Contemporary Christian music that inspires hope, faith, and spiritual growth.

The Mountain Top Experience Podcast – Episode 53 - You Can't Overcome Fear Until You Overcome Fear with Johnny Jernigan

Fear keeps many people from stepping into God's calling. Yet every believer who follows Christ eventually discovers the same truth: you can't overcome fear until you overcome fear.

In this episode of The Mountain Top Experience Podcast, hosts Carlos DeJesus, Kevin Ostromecki, and David Johnson sit down with evangelist Johnny Jernigan, featured speaker for the Pennsylvania Miracle Tent Revival on June 18, 19, and 20 at Laurel Mountain Ministries.

Johnny shares his powerful conversion story and the journey that led him into evangelistic ministry. Along the way, he opens up about the challenges, fears, and faith-filled decisions that shaped his calling and taught him to trust God beyond his comfort zone.

The conversation also looks back at Johnny's previous visit to the Mountain and the remarkable services held under the revival tent. Together they remember lives that were changed, people who came to Christ, testimonies of healing, and dozens who followed the Lord in baptism.

Whether you're facing fear, sensing God's call, or simply need encouragement to take the next step of faith, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to move forward in obedience.

Join us for an honest and uplifting discussion about faith, courage, revival, and the God who still changes lives.
