06-24-25 part 2: When Grace Breaks Through The Power of Kindness and Trust
Section One
The show opens with updates about upcoming speaking engagements, the expansion of the radio station’s reach through HMIMRadio.org, and the transition away from KAAM 770, which is going dark on July 6. David Spoon explains how he, Noelle, and multiple prayer teams made the decision to continue broadcasting independently through their own internet station. He highlights the station’s growing library of Christian worship, original music from listeners, and even comedic segments. Despite financial and logistical challenges, the focus remains on staying faithful to the calling and making the Word of God available to all who seek it. Listener calls, like the one from Ann, emphasize the emotional and spiritual connection built through the ministry.
Section Two
A trivia question about Ruth brings in a joyful call from Cordelia, who shares how her prayers for a specific listener were answered when they called in. This moment highlights the impact of community prayer and the joy of witnessing God’s responsiveness. The segment also revisits the show’s “DNA” principles: Draw closer to the Lord daily, Never be ashamed of Jesus or His words, and Always be ready to serve. The focus is on staying spiritually grounded through daily devotion, public boldness about faith, and a readiness to move in God’s direction whenever and however He leads. These values form the core of the spiritual identity shared with listeners.
Section Three
A new trivia question about Genesis leads to a humorous and encouraging call from Samson, who reminds the audience to have confidence in the Holy Spirit’s provision. Even in challenging times—amid transitions, technical issues, or personal trials—God knows every need and sends the answer in His perfect time. This comforting reminder is underscored by a brief but powerful prayer from Samson as he navigates traffic. David continues the show by teaching on Romans 11, emphasizing that salvation is a result of God’s kindness and not human works. He urges listeners to recognize that grace is a gift—undeserved, unearned, but freely given by a loving God.
Section Four
The message of Romans 11 is unpacked with depth and personal reflection. David shares his own struggle with feeling like he has to earn God’s love, revealing that the Lord once told him plainly, “You cannot merit My love.” This honesty bridges biblical teaching with real-life application, illustrating that God's love and salvation come not from effort but from His kindness and sovereign choice. The passage highlights that even within the Jewish community—a core part of David’s identity—only a remnant is saved, and it is by grace, not by works. This reality humbles us and invites gratitude, not pride, in our spiritual journey.
Section Five
As the show closes, David reminds listeners that while we can’t earn God’s favor, we can respond with appreciation and devotion. Using the analogy of trying to match God’s righteousness to a baby on a basketball court with five NBA stars, he stresses that we’re not in the same league as God—and that’s okay. We’re called to receive His grace, not deserve it. The prayer at the end asks God to help us stop trying to earn love and start responding in gratitude. The goal is simple: be less selfish, more selfless, and fully yield to the grace of Jesus Christ, who paid the cost for what we now freely receive.
