07-03-2025 part 1: Grief, Growth, and Grace: Walking with God in a Broken World

Section One

The show opens with its usual joyful energy, sound effects, and devotional humor. David sets the theme with a challenging question: Do we have faith in the Lord that great things are coming? He urges listeners to consider whether their Christian walk reflects confidence in God’s plans or anxious waiting for the next bad thing. Through a light-hearted but serious tone, he reminds listeners that God pulled them from destruction, placed them on solid ground, and deserves their full trust. The segment includes a caller, Sergio, who affirms God's mercy by reflecting on Scripture and shares his appreciation for the show’s influence on his spiritual journey.

Section Two

David responds to Sergio’s comments by exploring the idea of God’s grief over humanity’s rebellion, especially as mentioned in Genesis and Judges. He draws parallels between divine sorrow and the disappointment a parent might feel toward an ungrateful child. But he also emphasizes that such grief is directed toward those who do not care about God at all. For true believers, conviction is proof of the Holy Spirit's presence. David shares a personal story about his friend Ron, who feared blaspheming the Holy Spirit, and he reassures listeners that this fear itself is evidence of salvation. Only Christians care about grieving God—non-believers simply don’t.

Section Three

The final section deepens the theme of spiritual sensitivity. David teaches that transformation into Christ’s image is an ongoing, step-by-step process, supported by Scriptures like 2 Corinthians 3:17 and Philippians 1:6. He encourages listeners to stay soft-hearted despite the hardening effects of news, media, and the world around them. Practical advice includes cutting out media or habits that lead to spiritual stubbornness. The show closes with an uplifting call to deeper fellowship with God, an exhortation to grow in receptivity to His voice, and a prayer of repentance and renewal. With new tools like business cards and the HMIM Radio site, David reminds everyone that if God is with us, we’ve already won.

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.
