06-05-25 part 1: When Doing Right Costs Something

Section One

The segment opens with a heartfelt prayer for loved ones: Aunt Deb needing rest, Billy suffering possible injury, and Joshua, a son seeking God’s will in a major transaction. Dr. Spoon lifts them up, reminding listeners that God’s compassion is fresh every morning and that Jesus Himself told the disciples to rest. The prayer reflects a profound trust in God’s mercy, healing, and providence, setting the emotional and spiritual tone for what follows—a deeply personal and impactful story about obedience, integrity, and spiritual partnership with God.

Section Two

Dr. Spoon then recounts a real-time testimony from someone close to him who faced a financial ethical dilemma. The person could have covered up the truth to gain a large financial benefit, but felt convicted and sought counsel. With encouragement to honor God above all, they decided to be honest—even at a cost. In a surprising twist, the company responded with unexpected grace, choosing to pay the person anyway. The moral? When we act in integrity, trusting God above the system, He sometimes rewrites the outcome to honor our obedience and glorify His own Name.

Section Three

This story becomes a springboard into a broader teaching: God sees every choice we make, and we are in constant partnership with Him. Dr. Spoon cautions that while salvation isn’t at stake, how we live and what we choose matters to God. He pleads for believers to live “squeaky clean” before the Lord—not in perfection, but in confession. Using 1 John 1:9, he highlights the cleansing that comes from honest repentance. Just like a good car wash removes all the buildup, so does confession remove spiritual grime. The challenge is simple: don’t let unconfessed sin clog your connection with God.

Section Four

he takeaway is deeply pastoral: if God nudges your conscience, respond. Don’t justify or hide—acknowledge, confess, and be cleansed. Dr. Spoon likens the conscience to the best preacher—clear, relentless, and Spirit-guided. He wraps the message with the story’s joyful end: the caller, now spiritually invigorated, testifies to the overwhelming peace and joy that followed obedience. The final exhortation is as firm as it is freeing: this is between you and God. Not the media, not culture, not even the church. You will face God, and your life—clean or cluttered—will speak for itself.

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.
