04-07-25 part 1: When We Believe: Faith, Hope, and Healing in Real Time

1. Miracles Begin with Belief

This episode of The David Spoon Experience opens with a raw, heartfelt call from a listener named Tyler, seeking prayer for a broken marriage and deliverance from addiction. Dr. Spoon responds not with judgment, but with compassion and bold faith. He reminds us that when life feels impossible, it’s not man who brings change—it’s God. The prayer offered is emotional and full of expectation, asking for divine intervention in a situation that only a miracle can fix. Spoon emphasizes that God doesn’t require us to have everything figured out—He asks us to believe. Even when we can’t fix it, God can.

2. Community That Lifts and Intercedes

Another caller, Susan, follows with a powerful suggestion—Teen Challenge, a Christ-centered addiction recovery ministry—and requests prayer for her upcoming speaking engagements. Spoon commends her ministry, prays over her mission, and honors her willingness to be used by God. These interactions demonstrate the core of the show: it’s not just about one person praying; it’s about believers uniting in faith to lift up each other’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). Whether it’s a miracle needed, a breakthrough longed for, or simply favor for ministry, Spoon encourages everyone listening to believe that prayer still changes things.

3. Prayer That Believes God Will

Dr. Spoon dives deeper into the theology of prayer—not only believing that God can act, but that He will. He challenges Christians to pray with mustard-seed faith, free from doubt, just as Jesus taught. Faith isn’t about being perfect or religiously polished—it’s about trusting that the God who created the universe hears us and is able to move. Too often we sabotage our own prayers with disbelief. Spoon insists: effective prayer requires confidence—not in ourselves, but in the righteousness of Jesus and the power of a God who is still in the miracle-working business.

4. Hope Is the Anchor for the Grieving

In a beautifully tender moment, Dr. Spoon acknowledges the silent pain many carry—grief, sorrow, disappointment—and reminds listeners that hope is the anchor in every storm. He references the story of Lazarus and the tears of Jesus, reminding us that the Savior feels our pain, yet still calls us to hope in Him. Hope is not pretending everything’s fine. Hope is believing that God is with us in the pain and will carry us through it. “Wash the mud off,” Spoon says—don't stay stuck in past sin or lingering sorrow. The resurrection power of Jesus offers new songs, clean starts, and faith that doesn’t flinch.

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.
