07-24-2025 PART 1: Hope That’s Real, Faith That’s Refined, and a God Who Reigns

Section 1:

In the latter part of the show, Dr. Dave shares a profound moment of vulnerability following the previous day’s broadcast. He had openly confessed his own struggles, questioning whether people in spiritual leadership are supposed to experience such turmoil. What he sensed from the Lord in response was tender and affirming: “That’s how My children are.” This divine reassurance reminded him that God isn’t expecting robotic perfection but honest, faith-filled pursuit. Dave’s openness then gives way to a call for believers to be authentic in their walk and consistent in offering hope. He insists that God still uses us—even in our weakest states—to bring life and truth to others. The faith journey may involve uncertainty, but it must always circle back to God’s unshakable faithfulness.

Section 2:

With a sense of spiritual clarity, Dave emphasizes the reality that many people around us feel lost—some spiritually, others emotionally. This becomes a plea for Christians to be a beacon of hope. He recalls countless personal moments where he’s been unsure of what God was doing, yet he’s also seen how every difficulty eventually turned into a tool for ministry. From relational breakups to betrayals and confusion, all of it became raw material for helping others. God didn’t just rescue Dave from hardship—He repurposed it for kingdom impact. Christians are urged to recognize that the Lord doesn’t allow anything to happen pointlessly. He makes all things work together for good, even when that good is not immediately visible. What might feel like chaos today can become the platform for testimony tomorrow.

Section 3:

As the show closes, Dave shares how worship music on the radio—specifically a Lenny LeBlanc song—became a vessel for God’s presence, ministering strength just before another on-air battle. It was as if God charged him up to withstand the technical or spiritual resistance that awaited. That moment becomes symbolic of a greater truth: nothing is more important than partnering with God for His purposes. Dave calls listeners to reevaluate their priorities, reminding them that what matters is seeking the kingdom first. Earthly pursuits will fade, but kingdom investments remain eternal. Whether Jesus returns soon or later, our task is the same: be ready, be faithful, and stay in divine partnership with the King.

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.
