3-19-25 part 2: From Past Pains to New Promises: A Journey of Faith Back to the Future

Letting Go of the Past for a New Beginning

Dr. David Spoon opens this segment of "The David Spoon Experience" on KAAM 770 with a heartfelt revisit to Isaiah 43:18-19, urging listeners to "forget the former things" and embrace God’s new work. Drawing from the story of Mark, who overcame abandonment and failure to write the Gospel of Mark under Peter’s guidance, Spoon illustrates how dwelling on past pain—like his own experiences of family rejection—hinders growth. He emphasizes that God uses even our wounds to minister to others, transforming scars into tools of grace. This call to move forward, rooted in scripture, sets the tone for a message of renewal and purpose, encouraging listeners to live in the present by faith and look to the future with hope.

Faith Over Fear: God’s Ever-Present Newness

Spoon weaves personal anecdotes—like moving to Texas sight-unseen with no job, trusting Jesus alone—with biblical truths to reinforce that God is always doing something new, as seen in Revelation 21:5 and 2 Corinthians 5:17. He challenges the notion of a dull Christian life, asserting that boredom signals a religious rut, not a vibrant relationship with the "King of Kings." Through trivia (e.g., Hebrews 4:12’s "two-edged sword" and 1 Samuel 3’s Eli as Samuel’s mistaken voice), he keeps the mood light while driving home a serious point: God’s way-making nature ensures every day holds adventure for those walking with Him. Listeners are urged to shed the past’s shackles—echoing Lot’s wife and the adulterous woman’s redemption—and step into God’s dynamic now.

Confronting Falsehood and Standing Firm

The tone shifts as Spoon passionately addresses a recent claim by "Reverend" Oliver White on the Sean Hannity show, who declared Jesus was wrong about marriage and unaware of modern realities. With righteous indignation, Spoon labels White a false teacher, unfit to represent Christ, especially for denying Jesus’ living presence. He extends this critique to public figures who shift biblical convictions for family convenience, arguing such compromises betray Christian integrity. Grounded in his own ministry credentials—seven church plants and three ordinations—Spoon defends scriptural authority with unapologetic clarity, rallying listeners to uphold truth amid a culture where Christian respect has waned, as foretold in Matthew 24.

In the Beginning, God: A Life-Changing Truth

Closing with a transformative simplicity, Spoon offers Genesis 1:1—"In the beginning, God"—as a daily anchor to release past burdens and embrace God’s promise of newness. He reflects on Jesus calling Mary by name post-resurrection, a personal summons mirrored in every believer’s life, marking their shift from darkness to light. Through humor (restaurant-themed one-liners), history (National Chocolate Caramel Day), and trivia (John 10:4’s shepherd), he keeps the show lively, yet lands on a profound note: God’s greatness ensures great things ahead. Listeners are invited to rise seven times like the righteous, grab God’s hand, and walk forward, assured that the Shepherd’s voice they know will never let them go.

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.
