06-16-25 part 1: Give God the Best, Not the Leftovers

Section One

The show kicks off with energy, humor, and a call to faith-centered community. Listeners are encouraged to participate through calls, texts, or emails—not just to interact, but to share praise reports, prayer requests, or anything God has put on their hearts. The invitation to contribute is rooted in mutual encouragement and giving glory to God. Even though the technical sound elements may be in flux, the core remains: glorifying Jesus, honoring the Father, and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead. The show’s tone reminds us that excellence in faith is not about flawless execution but about genuine surrender to God’s purposes.

Section Two

The passage from Malachi becomes the spiritual centerpiece of this segment. God confronts His people for dishonoring Him with defiled sacrifices—offerings that were not their best, but what they could spare. This rebuke is timeless: God deserves our best, not our leftovers. Whether it’s time, attention, energy, or devotion, what we offer reflects our view of His worth. A blind or broken animal would be insulting to a human leader—how much more to the King of the Universe? The takeaway is clear: God is not pleased with scraps of devotion. He is our Father and our Master, and He deserves our first and finest.

Section Three

The teaching is both challenging and freeing. It invites listeners to examine what they truly give God. Are we offering Him excellence, or convenience? David compares this to relationships, like how a weak effort would be obvious to a loved one—and even more so to the Lord. The message is not about guilt but awareness. Giving God our best isn’t about perfection but about heart-centered intentionality. The wrap-up includes a trivia question and encouragement to press on despite technical hurdles. The emphasis stays rooted in spiritual growth and the centrality of loving God fully—heart, soul, mind, and strength.

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.
