10-06-2025 PART 2: Faith in Action and the Power of Prayer

Section 1

Following the discussion on spiritual DNA, the broadcast flows into a warm, real-time exchange between David and a listener named Joya. She begins by expressing deep concern and compassion, asking how David is coping after the recent car accident, his head injury, and the loss of his brother—the very man who led him to Christ. David replies with gratitude and honesty, admitting that he’s a bit drained but thankful for God’s sustaining grace. He mentions the help of a new social media assistant who has already boosted engagement and shares that he’s praying for renewed strength, both physically and emotionally. Joya, who is a nurse, compassionately encourages him to rest and explains how overwork can lead to adrenal fatigue, reminding him of the importance of sleep, vitamins, and proper care.

Section 2

Joya then turns to praise and testimony, describing how she and her twin sister, Cordelia, have been listening to the show for six years and how much David’s ministry has blessed their lives. She recounts a powerful experience hearing Lee Strobel speak on “The Case for Heaven,” where he discussed both heaven and hell and emphasized the truth of the gospel. Joya excitedly shares that she invited her husband, Stan (“Stan the Man”), to attend, though he declined. Still, she refuses to give up on his spiritual journey. She rejoices that his health has dramatically improved after a near-death crisis, giving God glory for the turnaround. Her passion for evangelism shows as she talks about sharing ministry cards and brochures everywhere—from gift baskets to dental offices—wanting others to hear the truth through the program she loves.

Section 3

David responds with gratitude and prayer, lifting up Joya, Cordelia, Stan, and others such as Rosalind and Robert. He prays that God would open Stan’s heart in the perfect way and timing—just as He once used a single statement from David’s brother to touch his heart for salvation. The prayer is heartfelt, asking for divine favor, healing, refreshment, and encouragement for all who listen and participate in the ministry family. As the call concludes, Joya joyfully confirms the trivia answer (“Paul”), and David gently clarifies it was technically “Saul” at that time. He closes by reflecting on Barnabas—a model of faithfulness who restored and reconciled others, including John Mark, who later wrote a gospel. The final thought rings clear: true ministry is about bringing people back in, strengthening them, and keeping love and grace at the center of all service to the Lord.

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.
