07-09-2025 part 2: Praying with Purpose, Living with Heart

Section 1

This episode kicks off with David's signature energy and honesty, highlighting the unpredictable and delightful nature of the Christian journey. He revisits classic teachings, emphasizing that while the delivery might be unique, the goal remains simple: help listeners draw closer to God—even by one step. A major theme is eliminating distractions during prayer to create space for deep connection with the Creator. David encourages listeners to quiet not just the world around them but also the noise within themselves. The heart of prayer, he says, is not about a checklist of needs but about bringing our hearts before God and genuinely listening for His voice.

Section 2

David shares his own spiritual transformation, reminding us that the foundation of this ministry is personal testimony and the power of redemption through Jesus. He explains the show’s format—part Bible teaching, part real-life reflection, and plenty of listener interaction—and invites people to call, text, or email with prayer requests, praise reports, or trivia answers. Bible trivia is woven in, such as the Pharisees' attempt to trap Jesus in Mark 12:14. The segment also introduces DNA: Draw closer to God daily, Never be ashamed of Jesus or His words, and Always be ready to serve. This framework serves as spiritual “building blocks” for Christian living, underscoring intentional devotion and readiness.

Section 3

In teaching from Matthew 6, David dives into Jesus’ admonition not to worry about basic needs. He stresses that believers often approach God with “laundry lists” of wants, but God desires something deeper: our hearts. Prayer should not be a chore but a joyful time of fellowship with the One who already knows our needs. The highlight is the reminder from Isaiah 65:24 that God answers before we even speak. This truth invites listeners to trust more, stress less, and engage with God relationally rather than transactionally. The segment wraps with reminders about the show's accessibility, outreach tools like business cards and apps, and an overarching call to keep pressing forward in faith.

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.
