06-23-25 part 2: When Faith Falters and God Still Shows Up

Section One

The show kicks off with technical efforts, a new number announcement, and an ID for 770 KAAM. From there, it dives into a spiritual theme central to the program’s DNA: Draw closer to the Lord daily, Never be ashamed of Jesus and His words, and Always be ready to share your faith. The host stresses the importance of remembering what Christians are made of spiritually, especially in times of uncertainty or trial. He encourages believers not to be swayed by the endless stream of changing news but to root themselves in the unchanging nature of their faith and identity in Christ.

Section Two

The Genesis teaching resumes with the story of Abraham receiving God’s promise about Sarah bearing a child. Abraham’s response of “Sure” is explored with both humor and empathy, acknowledging how even great people of faith have moments of hesitation or doubt. This leads to a reflection on Galatians, where believers are reminded they are Abraham’s descendants through faith. The lesson is clear: moments of internal doubt are normal, and they do not disqualify anyone from faithfulness. The comparison between Mary’s faith-filled question and Zechariah’s doubt-filled denial further distinguishes how we approach God with uncertainty.

Section Three

The show continues with a discussion on the sovereignty of God and how He doesn’t require our approval or suggestions to carry out His plans. The host admits to moments of faltering faith—particularly when praying for provision—and likens this to the disciples in the storm wondering if Jesus would let them drown. The reminder is powerful: Jesus isn’t asleep. He is risen, reigning, and attentive. There is comfort in knowing God accomplishes His will on His timeline, and our role is to trust Him rather than try to control or predict the outcome.

Section Four

The program then transitions to interaction with listeners through trivia and call-ins, lightened with humor and joy, including a “Cool Whip” sound clip and reflections on listener submissions like original songs. A caller shares about a family loss, and the host prays for wisdom and compassion. He highlights the importance of being a godly representative in difficult family dynamics without being judgmental. This segment blends laughter, connection, and spiritual encouragement, reinforcing the show’s theme of genuine Christian community and support.

Section Five

In closing, the host revisits Abraham’s attempt to redirect God’s plan, pointing out how we often try to offer alternatives to divine promises. God responds firmly but mercifully, clarifying that His covenant would be with Isaac, not Ishmael. This becomes a clear warning against manipulating God or assuming we know better. The host confesses his own struggles with trying to control ministry outcomes and leads listeners in a prayer of repentance. He closes with a call to prayer, not money, asking for spiritual support as the show moves forward—trusting God, not leaning on human manipulation, to fulfill His purposes.

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.
