12-23-2025 PART 2: Goodness, Peace, and Joy in the Kingdom of God

Section 1

The call-ins and shared testimonies highlight what the kingdom of God truly looks like when it is lived out among His people. Simple conversations, encouragement, prayer, and genuine care become powerful expressions of faith. The beauty of these moments is not found in polish or performance, but in sincerity and connection. Whether it is Shel reflecting on the humility of Christ’s coming or the joy stirred by children portraying the birth of the Savior, the emphasis rests on God entering our world in the most vulnerable and loving way possible. These shared moments remind us that Christianity is not meant to be isolated or theoretical. It is lived in community, in listening, in rejoicing together, and in allowing God to touch hearts in ordinary yet profound ways.

Section 2

The testimonies surrounding Ashley and Rosalyn underscore the strength and compassion found in prayerful unity. In both situations, the outcomes brought relief, hope, and renewed trust in God’s mercy. These are not abstract victories; they are deeply personal reminders that the Lord is attentive and kind. The joy expressed is not denial of difficulty, but confidence that God is present and active in the midst of it. When prayers are answered with stability, healing, or peace, the proper response is gratitude and continued dependence on the Lord. These moments reinforce why believers gather, pray, and share burdens together, because the kingdom of God is revealed through goodness, care, and steadfast faith.

Section 3

Romans 14:17 brings clarity to the heart of the message: the kingdom of God is not about external matters, but about goodness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. This truth reframes how believers serve Christ and one another. Living with this attitude pleases God and reflects spiritual maturity that allows for differences without division. Christianity is not about forcing uniformity, but about walking in love, humility, and grace. When believers choose peace over conflict, joy over bitterness, and goodness over judgment, they embody the very nature of Christ. This is the sustaining power of faith, especially during seasons like Christmas, where the reminder is clear: without Christ, the meaning is lost, but with Him, everything is filled with purpose, strength, and hope.

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.
