07-29-2026 PART 3: Advancing God's Work Without Fear

Section 1

Using Nehemiah's rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls as the foundation, Dr. Dave reminds believers that every work God initiates will encounter resistance. Nehemiah refused to be discouraged by ridicule because he understood that success comes from the Lord, not from human effort alone. Every endeavor—whether in ministry, family, or daily Christian living—must be pursued as a partnership with God, trusting Him to accomplish what He has called His people to do despite opposition.

Section 2

God's work deserves wholehearted commitment, constant prayer, and unwavering dependence upon Him. As the people rebuilt Jerusalem's walls, they labored with all their hearts while seeking the Lord in the face of threats and discouragement. Dr. Dave emphasizes that believers should never approach God's calling halfheartedly but should pray continually, refuse to surrender to fear, and persevere with confidence that the Lord strengthens those who faithfully rely on Him.

Section 3

Fixing our eyes on Jesus is the key to pressing forward when challenges arise. Drawing from Hebrews and the example of Christ's complete surrender to the Father's will, Dr. Dave encourages listeners to pursue God's purposes with courage rather than comfort. Whether in ministry or personal life, the goal is not an easier path but faithful obedience. If even one more person comes to know Christ or grows closer to Him, every sacrifice, every obstacle, and every act of perseverance is eternally worthwhile.

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.
