07-14-2025 PART 1: Warning, Leadership, and the True Target

Section 1

The broadcast opens with Dr. Dave’s signature mix of playful humor and spiritual encouragement, setting a tone that blends light-hearted entertainment with serious devotion. He acknowledges the format of the show—sound effects, trivia, goofy news—and how all of it is wrapped around an earnest exploration of faith and prayer. Dave emphasizes that his audience includes people who genuinely believe in the power of prayer and the active presence of God's kingdom on earth. He extends a heartfelt invitation for listeners to share prayer requests, praise reports, or spiritual insights, underscoring the show's core mission of community, intercession, and encouragement in Christ.

Section 2

The next portion of the show turns toward corporate and personal responsibility before God. Using the book of Malachi as a launching point, Dave explores a warning issued to the priests—Israel’s spiritual leaders—who had strayed from honoring God. He draws a powerful comparison to modern Christian leadership, stressing that following a leader is valid only when that leader follows Christ. The message is strong: leaders who veer off course not only mislead others but risk divine correction. Dave issues a warning grounded in Scripture, noting that even blessings can be turned into curses when people misuse them or ignore God’s commands. He emphasizes that the Word of God, not public opinion or personal emotion, is the true plumb line for righteousness.

Section 3

As the show continues, Dave reflects on how all believers, knowingly or not, influence others and thus carry a degree of spiritual leadership. He critiques a common media narrative that reduces lifelong faithful servants of Christ—like John MacArthur—to secular headlines, instead of honoring their proclamation of Jesus. The discussion crescendos with a reminder of Jesus' example: the greatest leaders are the greatest servants. Dave closes in earnest prayer, asking the Lord for grace to lead humbly, point others to Jesus, and heed divine warnings. The message is clear—there's only one true superstar in heaven, and it’s not us. It's Jesus.

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.
