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.

The Mountain Top Experience Podcast - Ep. 25 - From Gridiron to Glory: The Barry Perez Story

Episode Description:
On this episode of The Mountain Top Experience Podcast, hosts Kevin, Carlos, and Dave sit down with rapper, musician, preacher, and youth pastor Jay Thomas. An independent Christian hip-hop artist from York, Pennsylvania, Jay has built a reputation for his dynamic sound that fuses raw street energy with powerful messages of faith, hope, and victory in Christ.

Together, the group dives into Jay’s story—how faith pulled him from destructive paths, shaped his music, and fuels his ministry. Jay shares about his singles like “Amen” and “Victory,” his work with artists such as Shakayla Mitchell and 4TK, and his passion for building up his community.

A recurring theme throughout this conversation is the reminder that faith is not passive—faith is an action word. From stepping into new opportunities, to trusting God in uncertainty, to using his platform to uplift others, Jay embodies a faith that moves.

Whether you’re a hip-hop fan, a believer seeking encouragement, or someone wrestling with how to live out your faith in the real world, this episode will inspire you to put belief into motion.
