06-25-25 PART 3: Fear Ends Where Faith Begins Escaping the Grip of Darkness

Section One

The message begins with a discussion of the state of humanity before the flood, referencing Genesis 6:5–8, where the wickedness of man was so complete that every thought was continuously evil. David Spoon reacts with both shock and humor, imagining the self-centered nature of mankind at the time—likening them to the “mine, mine, mine” birds from Finding Nemo. It was this complete moral decay that grieved God’s heart and led to the decision to judge the world while extending grace to Noah. The commentary moves into a serious tone, reflecting on how rejecting the Word of God ultimately leads to self-destruction and separation from Him. The conversation with a caller named Fred affirms that Hell was not created for people, but for the devil and his angels, and choosing to reject Jesus Christ leads to permanent separation from God.

Section Two

Fred’s powerful call ends with gratitude and support, prompting David to explain the financial pressures of running both the KAAM slot and the new internet station. He emphasizes the importance of voluntary, cheerful giving from the heart—not out of guilt. He recalls turning down an enormous inheritance in 1980 to remain faithful to his calling and warns against being bought by the world. His message is clear: following Jesus means surrendering worldly riches for eternal rewards. Scripture like Luke 6:38 is quoted to encourage those who want to give, but David reinforces that prayer and support are just as valuable. The tone balances serious commitment to ministry with heartfelt, honest humor, encouraging listeners to be joyful partners in faith.

Section Three

The teaching concludes with a deep dive into overcoming fear. David draws from 2 Timothy 1:7, Psalm 23:4, Hebrews 13:6, and Psalm 34:4, highlighting that fear is not from God but from human frailty and spiritual attack. He teaches that reverence for God is healthy, but tormenting fear is not, and that the key to freedom is seeking God wholeheartedly. By staying connected to the Lord, we receive power, love, and a sound mind—what the Greek calls sōphronismos, or safe thinking. David acknowledges that he prays daily for help to filter thoughts properly and urges listeners to do the same. In a closing prayer, he asks God to help us abandon anxiety, embrace truth, and live in the fearless love made possible through Jesus Christ.

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.
