Description:

Hosts Kevin, Carlos, and Dave sit down with Freddie Nole, founder of Meeting At The Door and a man who spent 49 years behind bars before finding freedom, purpose, and a new calling.

• Freddie's journey from incarceration to transformation
• How faith sustained him through 49 years inside
• The birth of Meeting At The Door and its work across Pennsylvania
• Why "faith without works ain't nothin'" is more than a slogan — it's a way of life

The Mountain Top Experience Podcast - Ep. 28. - Restoring Dignity and Leaving Hope: The Digniway

Description:

Hosts Carlos, Kevin, and Dave welcome Lisberry Almanzar, founder of DigniWay, in an inspiring conversation about faith, community, and transformation in one of America's most challenged cities.

In this episode, Lisberry shares her personal testimony and how it shaped the mission behind DigniWay — a nonprofit based in Reading, Pennsylvania, one of the poorest cities in the country. Through dignity-first solutions in education, care, advocacy, hygiene support, and safe spaces, DigniWay seeks not just to meet needs, but to restore hope, human dignity, and opportunity.

Carlos, Kevin, and Dave explore with Lisberry:

• Her journey from vision to action — how her faith and life experiences led her to start DigniWay

• Real stories from the front lines in Reading: the people she serves, the obstacles she faces, and the miracles along the way

• The philosophy of "dignity-first" — how DigniWay seeks to treat people with respect rather than charity alone

• Challenges of operating a community nonprofit in a place facing high rates of poverty, addiction, housing instability, and broken systems

• How listeners can get involved, support, or replicate aspects of DigniWay's model in their own communities

If you're passionate about justice, compassion, and Christian faith lived out in action, you'll find this conversation deeply moving and motivating.

The Mountain Top Experience Podcast - Ep. 27 - A City Comes Together with David and Yoli WIlliams

Episode Description:

In this powerful episode, hosts Kevin, Carlos, and Dave sit down with Pastors David and Yoli Williams to hear an incredible story of God's grace and redemption. Pastor Yoli shares her miraculous testimony of deliverance from drugs and healing from mental illness when she encountered Jesus alone in her rehab room—a moment that forever changed her life.

Out of that transformation, Pastor Yoli founded Ashes to Beauty Ministry in Reading, Pennsylvania, where she reaches out to those on the margins—people living on the streets, the homeless and hungry, addicts, and those who feel they have nothing left to live for. Alongside her husband, Pastor David, she also co-leads A City Comes Together, a celebration of unity in the family of God.

Mark your calendars: On October 5, 2025, from 1:00–4:00 pm at Reading City Park, churches from across the area will gather for worship, prayer, and communion. Worship leaders, praise bands, and prayer warriors from multiple congregations will come together to lift high the name of Jesus. The event is completely free, open to all, and will culminate in a shared communion service.
