The Mountain Top Experience Podcast - Ep. 61 - A City Comes Together With Frank Grill

A Special Episode of The Mountain Top Experience Podcast

What can happen when churches come out from behind their walls and stand together as one body to share Jesus with their city?

In this special episode of The Mountain Top Experience, Frank Grill joins Dave and Carlos in the studio to share his heart for A City Comes Together, an outdoor gathering bringing churches from across Berks County into the heart of Reading for an afternoon of worship, prayer, and sharing the hope of Jesus.

Frank, Dave, and Carlos are all part of the organizing committee for the event, which will feature Christian rappers, worship teams from area churches, and prayer teams ready to minister to people throughout the afternoon.

A City Comes Together will be held Sunday, October 4, beginning at 2:00 PM, in the field next to Ashes to Beauty on Front Street in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Frank also wrote and performed an original song for the event, "One City, One Body, One King." Stay with us through the end of the episode for the debut of the studio version.

One city. One body. One King.

Come worship. Come pray. Come share Jesus. Come be part of a city coming together.

The Mountain Top Experience Podcast - Ep. 61 - A Holy Ghost Interruption With Author Angie Clayton

Grief Series, Part 3

How do you help someone who is grieving when you don't know what to say or what to do?

In the third episode of The Mountain Top Experience Grief Series, Kevin, Carlos, and Dave sit down with author Angie Clayton for a conversation about grief, compassion, and learning how to walk alongside people who are hurting.

Angie is the author of Peering into the Tunnel: An Outsider's Look into Grief, a practical guide built around real stories and helpful suggestions for serving those who grieve. Rather than approaching grief only from the perspective of the person experiencing loss, Angie helps friends, family members, pastors, and others understand how their words, presence, and actions can help—or sometimes hurt—someone walking through grief.

Along the way, the conversation takes an unexpected turn—a "Holy Ghost interruption"—that reminds us that ministry doesn't always follow the outline we planned.

Join Kevin, Carlos, Dave, and Angie for an honest and practical conversation about showing up, listening well, and loving people through some of the hardest seasons of their lives.

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.
