The 06-11-25 part 1: The Best-Laid Plans and the Unseen Hand

Section One

The show begins with an invitation to actively bless others. Whether through prayer, encouragement, or small gestures of kindness, the call is to be intentional. A personal testimony is shared about receiving an uplifting email that arrived just when it was needed most. This moment underscores how even the smallest action can have a significant spiritual impact. The reminder is simple but powerful: we don’t always realize the weight of our words, and we shouldn’t waste the chance to build someone up when prompted by the Spirit.

Section Two

A caller named Sergio brings attention to a passage from Judges 1 about Israel’s inability to overcome chariots of iron. The conversation focuses on how God had already granted them the land, but their lack of faith prevented victory. It wasn’t the strength of the enemy but the weakness of Israel’s trust that caused failure. This biblical moment is connected to our own lives—God may call us to take steps of faith that seem overwhelming, but He expects obedience over comfort. Delayed obedience is still disobedience.

Section Three

There is a shift in tone as David opens up about the behind-the-scenes struggle of continuing the ministry during a period of transition. With his co-host absent and technical demands increasing, the broadcast is running on a leaner setup. David asks for grace from his listeners and emphasizes the importance of ongoing prayer and support. He speaks honestly about the weight of the responsibility and the need for community support—not just financial, but emotional and spiritual as well.

Section Four

The message closes with encouragement from Jeremiah 31:13, focusing on God's promise to turn mourning into joy. It’s a reminder that God redeems seasons of sorrow and uses them to strengthen His people. Even when burdens feel too heavy, the assurance of God's eventual restoration provides hope. The audience is encouraged to cling to that promise and remain faithful, trusting that God is present in every tear and will bring purpose out of pain in due time.

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.
