04-22-25 part 2: From Rejection to Rejoicing: Mercy in Every Moment

1. Cast Your Cares, Don’t Carry Them

Dr. Spoon opens this segment with heartfelt encouragement and prayer for a listener named Ann, emphasizing 1 Peter 5:7—“Cast your cares on Him, because He cares for you.” Stress and anxiety, he reminds us, do more harm than good, especially when they’re carried alone. In the Spirit-led prayer, he doesn’t just ask God to fix Ann’s situation—he first asks for God to calm her heart. The storm inside must be addressed before the storm outside is resolved. It’s a beautiful reminder that peace isn’t found in circumstances—it’s found in surrender.

2. Fellowship over Formality

Dr. Spoon draws a clear distinction: this isn’t just a show—it’s a fellowship. Though it airs on KAAM 770, it's rooted in real connections between real people praying, encouraging, and growing together. It’s not a church with sacraments, but it is a gathering of believers. With calls, texts, and prayer requests for people like Ann, Will, and Joy Ann, it becomes clear: the David Spoon Experience isn’t about building a brand—it’s about building one another. The church may have pews, but the Spirit has airwaves.

3. Rejection’s Redemptive Ripple

As the show moves into Romans 9, Dr. Spoon explores how Israel’s rejection of the Gospel opened the door for the Gentiles. It wasn’t an accident—it was a divine opportunity. But God has never and will never forsake the Jewish people. He has always preserved a remnant. Dr. Spoon passionately teaches that if Israel’s rejection meant blessing for the world, imagine what their acceptance will mean. He challenges listeners to recognize their spiritual debt to the Jewish people and to expect a coming wave of salvation among them—one that may ignite revival across the globe.

4. Grace That Sustains, Mercy That Invites

Closing with the ultimate anchor, Dr. Spoon reflects on Hebrews 4:16, reminding us to come boldly before the throne of grace—not because we deserve it, but because Jesus made a way. God’s mercy sustains us through all our “bonehead” moves and daily battles. Whether you're walking through heartache, hardship, or healing, His grace is enough. You don’t earn it—you receive it. And you can rejoice not because everything is perfect, but because your eternity is. As Dr. Spoon joyfully concludes: “Thanks, Lord. Couldn’t do it without You.”

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.
