Section 1

In this final segment of the broadcast, David Spoon continues his signature mix of humor, Scripture, and spiritual encouragement. The show kicks off with trivia about Jesus’ prophecy at the temple, followed by the program's “DNA” teaching—an acronym urging listeners to Draw closer to the Lord daily, Never be ashamed of Jesus or His words, and Always be ready to serve. David passionately reinforces the importance of daily relationship with God and not caving to worldly opinions, emphasizing that critics don’t hold our eternal fate—God does. The segment is light-hearted yet anchored in spiritual seriousness, calling believers to live out their faith with boldness and consistency.

Section 2

David transitions into “This Day in History,” weaving current and historical trivia with cultural commentary. He underscores that the phrase “In God We Trust” has been part of America’s identity far longer than most think. Then, in a short but poignant devotional from Isaiah 63:7, he unpacks the concept of God’s actions being rooted in His faithful love and compassion. David emphasizes that God blesses His people not based on their greatness or merit, but because of His own character and covenant love. He shares a personal prayer model, reminding listeners to pray God’s promises while ultimately leaning on His mercy, not their own worthiness.

Section 3

Closing the show, David offers a vital teaching from 2 Corinthians 11:3, warning against being led astray from simple, sincere devotion to Christ. He revisits the earlier question posed by a listener, Sergio, tying it to the ongoing spiritual battle waged in the mind. David explains that the enemy—Satan, worldly systems, and our old self—tries to distract and complicate faith. Paul’s concern, David points out, is our minds being pulled away from the simplicity of following Jesus. David exhorts believers to resist overcomplication and emotional confusion, stand in biblical truth, and cling tightly to Christ. He ends in prayer, asking God to keep all believers rooted, protected, and faithful to the core message of salvation.

Section 1

This Friday edition of the David Spoon Experience launches with energetic encouragement, reminding listeners that even if the earth trembles, our help comes from the Lord. David outlines a trio of spiritual lessons for the hour. The first explores the “what and why” of God’s work in our lives, emphasizing that while we are unworthy, God still values us deeply and reveals His motives in His Word. The second lesson humorously touches on the overly complex ways theology can be presented—filled with big, academic words—reminding us not to overcomplicate salvation, which simply centers on God saving us. The third lesson highlights a personal turning point in David’s own faith journey when God shared His heart with him during a moment of pain, showing the intimacy and compassion of the Lord.

Section 2

The show takes a heartfelt turn when a caller named Sergio asks how to stay strong in faith when others bring up his past and question the sincerity of his walk with Christ. David responds with deep pastoral insight, explaining that many people—even those close to us—will never fully accept or acknowledge our transformation. He reminds Sergio that salvation is God’s gift, not earned or maintained by performance. Referencing biblical figures like Peter, David underscores that failure doesn't disqualify anyone from God’s love or purpose. He explains that Satan, society, and even our own inner critic will always try to drag us back into shame and doubt, but our peace and identity must be grounded in the truth of God’s Word, not in the opinions of others.

Section 3

David encourages Sergio (and all listeners) to stand firm in God's promises. He highlights the importance of silencing the lies of the enemy and walking in the new identity given to us in Christ. According to Scripture, those who call on the name of the Lord are saved—no maybe, no guessing. David stresses that our feelings do not dictate God's truth. Even when we feel unworthy or distant, God’s love and salvation remain unchanged. With vivid metaphors and scriptural clarity, David urges believers to keep truth at the front of their faith “train,” reminding everyone that the truth—not feelings—sets us free. This deeply personal and theological segment ends with a bold declaration of grace and freedom through Jesus Christ.

Section 1

The show opens with cheerful enthusiasm as David Spoon welcomes listeners into an experience filled with devotions, humor, sound effects, trivia, and biblical insight. He describes the broadcast as a place of connection, spiritual encouragement, and unexpected laughter—where the randomness of noises and news stories helps highlight the deeper truths of the Christian journey. David invites people to call, text, or email the show with praise reports or prayer requests, reminding everyone that testimony builds faith and that sharing burdens is part of loving one another. The sense of community is strong as listeners are encouraged to participate and contribute.

Section 2

David launches into a powerful devotional from 2 Peter 3:14–15, emphasizing the importance of making “every effort to be found at peace.” He explains that peace is not accidental or automatic—it must be pursued intentionally. Peace with God comes through Jesus Christ, whose death ended hostility and whose resurrection secured relationship. David warns against neglecting this truth or rushing through Scripture, stating that every verse has weight. He breaks down the layers of peace: first with God, then with oneself (letting go of shame and self-condemnation), and finally with others (extending grace and patience). True peace flows from this divine-to-personal-to-relational model.

Section 3

The final teaching focuses on God’s incredible patience, which David describes as central to salvation. If God were not patient with us, none of us would be saved. This patience is not just theological—it’s deeply practical. Believers are called to consider God's patience before reacting, judging, or giving up. David illustrates this through personal anecdotes, even comparing divine patience to how we deal with a barking dog—sometimes irritating, but never beyond compassion. He urges listeners to extend the most peace and patience to those closest to them, who often receive the least. The message concludes with heartfelt prayer, thanking God for His unshakable peace and enduring grace.

Section 1:

The show begins with a delightful mix of humor and heartfelt conversation, including homemade desserts and fellowship talk. A caller expresses appreciation for the show’s move to an online platform and emphasizes how important it is to stay connected. Dr. Dave reminds listeners how to access the broadcast via HMIMRadio.org or the main website, hemustincrease.org. The tone is warm and personal, filled with gratitude, encouragement, and community support. As the ministry continues adapting to its new format, Dave updates listeners about minor reception issues and growing pains, but also highlights the blessing of being 10 minutes from the studio now.

Section 2:

Next, the trivia segment adds lightness with a simple question: does the Lord’s Prayer ask for daily or weekly bread? (Answer: daily.) A faithful caller, Roger, answers correctly and shares his struggles and testimonies. Despite health issues and life challenges—including losing his job and being told he wouldn’t survive long—Roger has endured for 15 years through God’s provision. His humility, humor, and spiritual maturity shine through as he discusses trusting in God’s promises and praying for the show’s future. The prayer over Roger and his wife is deeply moving, reinforcing that Christian community strengthens and uplifts each other in real time.

Section 3:

Dr. Dave returns to 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12, emphasizing Paul’s prayer that God would “powerfully fulfill every good desire and work of faith.” The teaching reminds listeners that these aren’t prayers for selfish gain, but for spiritually aligned desires—those that bring glory to Jesus. God’s answers, when they come, are full and unmistakable, never partial or vague. The fulfillment is always by grace, not merit, and always points to God’s greatness. Dr. Dave challenges believers to pursue desires and actions rooted in faith, trusting that if God says yes, nothing in the universe can stop it. He closes with prayer and a humorous appeal for donations—reminding us that real ministry runs on faith, grace, and a little financial help from listeners who care.

Section 1:

This segment begins with a practical encouragement drawn from Colossians 3—whatever we do, we should do it enthusiastically, as unto the Lord. Dr. Dave recounts a simple but impactful piece of advice from a former colleague: “If you can’t get out of it, get into it.” This launches the theme of embracing life’s responsibilities with a right heart and a kingdom mindset. Whether it's a tedious task or a service opportunity, our attitude should reflect our desire to honor God, knowing that He alone offers the true eternal reward. This devotional thought lays a foundation for what it means to walk in wholehearted devotion, not with drudgery but with divine purpose.

Section 2:

Transitioning into Expository Thursday, Dr. Dave unpacks 2 Thessalonians 1:11. Paul’s prayer for believers—that God would count them worthy of His calling and fulfill every good desire and work of faith—sets the tone. Dr. Dave emphasizes this worthiness is not salvific but devotional, a call to align our pursuits with God’s purposes. What’s more, God doesn’t respond half-heartedly. When He answers, He answers completely and powerfully. The teaching highlights the grace-driven nature of God's responses—not based on how great we are, but on how great He is. Believers are reminded that all goodness in their lives flows from His grace, not their performance.

Section 3:

The show flows into a lighthearted yet deeply spiritual rhythm, balancing humor, praise reports, prayer requests, trivia, and updates. Dr. Dave reaffirms that this is not “professional” radio—just honest, real, and relational content. Multiple ways to connect are offered (phone, text, email), and a trivia question engages listeners: Whose temptations did Jesus resist in the wilderness? (Answer: the devil.) Don, a loyal listener, calls in and shares both fellowship and joy upon learning the show continues via online radio. Dr. Dave then walks him (and the audience) through all the ways to stay connected—via website, app, Alexa, and Roku. Their interaction is warm, encouraging, and filled with spiritual reminders that the Lord’s plans are often prepared years in advance and fulfilled in surprising ways.

Section 1:

The show opens with its usual upbeat and humorous introduction, reinforcing the blend of spiritual reflection and lighthearted fun that characterizes the David Spoon Experience. Sound effects, trivia, and interactive components set the tone for a biblically grounded yet relaxed format. Dr. Dave sets the spiritual focus for the day by posing a foundational question to the audience: “Do you have faith that great things are coming from the Lord?” He elaborates on the essential truth that faith pleases God and that a hopeful expectation of God’s goodness reflects a heart aligned with heaven. Through this, listeners are encouraged to engage by sharing testimonies, praise reports, or prayer requests—via call, text, or email.

Section 2:

The show then transitions into a heartfelt live call from a listener named Shel. Shel shares a powerful testimony about answered prayer, recounting how God miraculously reduced a burdensome bill and opened unexpected doors of provision. Shel expresses the peace and joy he’s found in trusting God fully, noting that joy—unlike fleeting happiness—is rooted in the confident assurance of God's faithfulness. Dr. Dave celebrates this moment, reminding the audience that Jesus Himself said answered prayer brings fullness of joy. Their conversation emphasizes the deep spiritual truth that sharing testimonies glorifies God, encourages others, and strengthens faith. The interaction culminates with a sincere and faith-filled prayer for Shel’s upcoming surgery.

Section 3:

In the final portion, Dr. Dave resumes his ongoing teaching from Revelation chapter 5. He revisits the dramatic and emotional scene where John the Apostle weeps because no one is worthy to open the scroll—until an elder points to the Lion of Judah, who appears as a slain Lamb. Dr. Dave urges listeners to slow down when reading Scripture and to absorb the weight of humanity’s need for redemption and the cost Jesus bore. He highlights how the contrast between what John hears (a lion) and what he sees (a lamb) is a critical interpretive key. The lion-lamb imagery encapsulates Jesus' dual role: His first coming in humility and His return in power. With passion and reverence, Dr. Dave concludes by encouraging listeners to behold the drama of redemption with fresh eyes and to let it shape their walk with God.

Section 1

David shares a touching story from his pastoral ministry in Flagstaff, Arizona, highlighting God's intimate provision. Facing a Christmas without gifts for his children, he prayed for a miracle and shortly afterward received a letter from England containing a personal gift—an offering sent days before he ever prayed. This underscores the truth from Isaiah 65:24: "Before they call, I will answer." David connects this to the biblical story of the coin in the fish's mouth and invites listeners to trust in God's foreknowledge and timely provision. The testimony powerfully illustrates how God prepares blessings even before we articulate our needs.

Section 2

The message turns to the nature of prayer, emphasizing Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:7 about avoiding babbling like pagans. David reminds us that true prayer is not about word count but heart connection. He observes that our American discomfort with silence often spills into our devotional time, making us feel the need to "fill the air." But God doesn't require our words to understand us. Sometimes prayer is simply stillness, as seen in Psalm 46:10: “Be still and know that I am God.” Examples like Hannah and Nehemiah show how unspoken prayers can be profoundly effective. The key takeaway: God's desire isn't for polished speech but for present hearts.

Section 3

Bringing the teaching full circle, David reaffirms that access to God's presence is the ultimate gift. Unlike the Old Testament priest who could only enter God's presence once a year, believers now have 24/7 access through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:19–22). David urges listeners not to waste that gift, encouraging moments of quiet communion as simple but powerful acts of devotion. Reading Psalm 73 and Philippians 3, he stresses that everything in life pales in comparison to knowing Christ. The closing prayer asks for grace to shift from laundry-list praying to heartfelt fellowship, with the affirmation that if we desire God above all, that’s a prayer He will surely honor.

Section 1

This episode kicks off with David's signature energy and honesty, highlighting the unpredictable and delightful nature of the Christian journey. He revisits classic teachings, emphasizing that while the delivery might be unique, the goal remains simple: help listeners draw closer to God—even by one step. A major theme is eliminating distractions during prayer to create space for deep connection with the Creator. David encourages listeners to quiet not just the world around them but also the noise within themselves. The heart of prayer, he says, is not about a checklist of needs but about bringing our hearts before God and genuinely listening for His voice.

Section 2

David shares his own spiritual transformation, reminding us that the foundation of this ministry is personal testimony and the power of redemption through Jesus. He explains the show’s format—part Bible teaching, part real-life reflection, and plenty of listener interaction—and invites people to call, text, or email with prayer requests, praise reports, or trivia answers. Bible trivia is woven in, such as the Pharisees' attempt to trap Jesus in Mark 12:14. The segment also introduces DNA: Draw closer to God daily, Never be ashamed of Jesus or His words, and Always be ready to serve. This framework serves as spiritual “building blocks” for Christian living, underscoring intentional devotion and readiness.

Section 3

In teaching from Matthew 6, David dives into Jesus’ admonition not to worry about basic needs. He stresses that believers often approach God with “laundry lists” of wants, but God desires something deeper: our hearts. Prayer should not be a chore but a joyful time of fellowship with the One who already knows our needs. The highlight is the reminder from Isaiah 65:24 that God answers before we even speak. This truth invites listeners to trust more, stress less, and engage with God relationally rather than transactionally. The segment wraps with reminders about the show's accessibility, outreach tools like business cards and apps, and an overarching call to keep pressing forward in faith.
