03-30-2026 PART 1: A Living Relationship: Returning to Our First Love

Section 1

This portion of the radio show begins by highlighting the expanding reach of the ministry through multiple platforms and short-form content. What stands out, however, is not the growth itself, but the message being proclaimed: Christianity is not a system of rules or a set of traditions, but a living relationship with the living God. This relationship is made possible through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit. The emphasis is clear—anything less than this relational reality diminishes what Christianity truly is. Even the increase in viewership and engagement is framed not as a personal achievement, but as a testimony of God’s ability to reach people when the truth is presented clearly and faithfully.

Section 2

The teaching then centers on one of the most important questions ever asked: what will you do with Jesus Christ? Referencing the moment when Pilate presented Jesus to the crowd, the message underscores that every person must answer this question personally. Opinions, cultural influences, and public narratives cannot replace the authority of Scripture or the identity of Jesus as the Christ. The world may offer countless interpretations, but truth is found only in what Jesus says about Himself. Believers are reminded that their identity is rooted in a genuine relationship with Him, confirmed by the presence of the Holy Spirit. This connection creates a spiritual bond among believers, transcending background and circumstance, and affirming that they belong to the same family under God.

Section 3

The final emphasis draws from Revelation 2, where Jesus addresses the church in Ephesus and reveals a critical issue: they had left their first love. Despite their perseverance and good works, their relationship with Him had shifted. The instruction is both simple and profound—remember, repent, and return to the first works. This call is not about external performance but about restoring the heart of the relationship. Just as in any meaningful relationship, intentional acts of love and devotion matter. The reminder is that the work of ministry must never replace the Lord of the work. In the end, everything comes back to this central truth: Jesus must remain first, not just in words, but in daily life and devotion.

David Spoon

David Spoon was born and raised in a Jewish home in Detroit, Michigan. He attended a private Hebrew school called Hillel Hebrew Academy. David was bar mitzvah-ed at the age of thirteen. Not long after, he was involved in drug abuse and trafficking. After hearing the Gospel for the first time at age seventeen, David accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. A few months later, David had a dramatic experience with God. Immediately set free from years of excessive drug use, he committed himself to ministry and to furthering the Kingdom of God.

He attended Arizona Bible College, Northern Arizona University, and Life Pacific College, graduating summa-cum-laude in their Ministry and Leadership program. He also graduated with honors from Regent University with a master’s degree in Theological Studies and earned his Doctor of Ministry degree in Strategic Christian Ministry at Liberty University.

He is one of a few individuals holding ministerial ordinations from three separate denominations: Heritage Free Baptist Organization, 1981; Independent Pentecostal Ministers Association, 1985; and Vineyard Valley Association, 1988. He was also the Chaplain for the Flagstaff Police Department. In addition, David was the senior pastor of Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Flagstaff.

In addition, David started and co-hosted two different live Christian call-in radio talk shows. He hosted the very popular radio show “The David Spoon Experience” on KPRZ 1210 and a show called “To Know Him,” which aired on 88.9 on the F.M. dial-in Temecula, California at 1:00 p.m., Monday through Fridays. He was also the Director of Local Ministry for Salem Media Group in San Diego, California.

David is married to his best friend, Noelle. He has three children and seven grandchildren, plus their two dogs named Levi and Bert. On March 18th, 2019, he started “The David Spoon Experience” in Texas and is growing with his audience of awesome believers and non-believers alike.

He is the President of He Must Increase Ministry, a 501c3 ministry, and is hosting (again) the live daily radio show “The David Spoon Experience” with DJR Broadcasting in KAAM, on the 770 A.M. radio dial. The show is also on various apps and the Internet.

David is a Jewish-Christian, Bapti-Costal, Cal-Minian, Manifold Millennialist.
