07-11-2025 PART 3: Simplicity, Salvation, and Standing Firm

Section 1

In this final segment of the broadcast, David Spoon continues his signature mix of humor, Scripture, and spiritual encouragement. The show kicks off with trivia about Jesus’ prophecy at the temple, followed by the program's “DNA” teaching—an acronym urging listeners to Draw closer to the Lord daily, Never be ashamed of Jesus or His words, and Always be ready to serve. David passionately reinforces the importance of daily relationship with God and not caving to worldly opinions, emphasizing that critics don’t hold our eternal fate—God does. The segment is light-hearted yet anchored in spiritual seriousness, calling believers to live out their faith with boldness and consistency.

Section 2

David transitions into “This Day in History,” weaving current and historical trivia with cultural commentary. He underscores that the phrase “In God We Trust” has been part of America’s identity far longer than most think. Then, in a short but poignant devotional from Isaiah 63:7, he unpacks the concept of God’s actions being rooted in His faithful love and compassion. David emphasizes that God blesses His people not based on their greatness or merit, but because of His own character and covenant love. He shares a personal prayer model, reminding listeners to pray God’s promises while ultimately leaning on His mercy, not their own worthiness.

Section 3

Closing the show, David offers a vital teaching from 2 Corinthians 11:3, warning against being led astray from simple, sincere devotion to Christ. He revisits the earlier question posed by a listener, Sergio, tying it to the ongoing spiritual battle waged in the mind. David explains that the enemy—Satan, worldly systems, and our old self—tries to distract and complicate faith. Paul’s concern, David points out, is our minds being pulled away from the simplicity of following Jesus. David exhorts believers to resist overcomplication and emotional confusion, stand in biblical truth, and cling tightly to Christ. He ends in prayer, asking God to keep all believers rooted, protected, and faithful to the core message of salvation.

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.
