Section 1

The show resumes with Shel, a listener recovering from surgery, joyfully testifying that he’s on the road to healing. Dr. Dave offers warm encouragement, reminding Shel to be patient with his body and trust God’s timing through the process. Their conversation reflects deep brotherhood and spiritual camaraderie, anchored in the idea that everything has a season and purpose. Dave reinforces that even in recovery and hardship, there is divine design, and God's master plan is always in motion. This portion sets a tone of gratitude, resilience, and real-life faith in action.

Section 2

Shel’s praise report is followed by a broader encouragement from Dr. Dave to all listeners. He emphasizes the irreplaceable value of fellowship, especially in their internet-based broadcast community, which continues to thrive despite technical and financial challenges. The connection between host and audience goes beyond teaching—it includes uplifting one another through shared victories, prayer, and testimony. The program continues with engaging Bible trivia, followed by an insightful explanation of how God uses answered prayers not just to meet needs, but as a form of fruit-bearing in believers’ lives, reflecting their relationship with Him.

Section 3

In the final segment, Dave pivots from trivia to a deep spiritual reflection on envy, selfishness, and the maturing process of the believer. He candidly shares how, in earlier years, he struggled to rejoice in others’ blessings without comparing himself. Over time, however, the Lord taught him that genuine Christlikeness means celebrating others’ victories and desiring their good. This heartfelt monologue crescendos into a sincere prayer for a clean heart, a renewed spirit, and the compassion of Jesus. It ends with a powerful invitation for all believers to be less self-centered and more Christ-centered—authentically loving one another with the heart of Jesus.

Section 1

This hour of the broadcast kicks off with a vibrant reflection on Genesis 18, where Abraham has a mysterious and sacred encounter with three visitors near the oak grove. Dr. Dave highlights the peculiarity of Abraham addressing the three as one, hinting at a possible theophany or even an early image of the Trinity. Abraham’s reaction—running to greet them, offering rest, water, and food—reflects a profound respect and hospitality. Dave notes that Abraham is extending human comforts to divine visitors, suggesting there’s meaning even in what seems unnecessary, emphasizing God's willingness to engage with humanity in tangible, relational ways.

Section 2

The tone shifts from biblical analysis to heartfelt interaction with the audience. Dr. Dave invites listeners to share how they are doing amid the pressures of life and spiritual warfare, urging them to reach out with prayer requests or praise reports. A recurring theme is community connection: whether through calls, texts, or emails, he wants believers to support and encourage one another. Then, a caller named Joanne shares a beautiful testimony about a car key she lost for months that miraculously turned up—saving her $400 and reinforcing God's care in small but meaningful ways. Dave applauds this as a legitimate and powerful demonstration of God’s loving involvement in everyday needs.

Section 3

The show continues with trivia and another listener call, this time from Shel, who recently underwent surgery. Shel joyfully reports feeling well post-op, leading Dave to celebrate with a personal story and gratitude to God. These listener contributions reinforce the show’s mission: to highlight God’s faithfulness, both in monumental ways and minor details. Dave wraps up this section by emphasizing answered prayer as a form of spiritual fruit and connecting it to biblical joy and relationship with the Lord. Through shared stories, Scripture, and sincere laughter, the broadcast radiates a sense of faith-filled family walking through life together.

Section 1

The broadcast opens with Dr. Dave’s signature mix of playful humor and spiritual encouragement, setting a tone that blends light-hearted entertainment with serious devotion. He acknowledges the format of the show—sound effects, trivia, goofy news—and how all of it is wrapped around an earnest exploration of faith and prayer. Dave emphasizes that his audience includes people who genuinely believe in the power of prayer and the active presence of God's kingdom on earth. He extends a heartfelt invitation for listeners to share prayer requests, praise reports, or spiritual insights, underscoring the show's core mission of community, intercession, and encouragement in Christ.

Section 2

The next portion of the show turns toward corporate and personal responsibility before God. Using the book of Malachi as a launching point, Dave explores a warning issued to the priests—Israel’s spiritual leaders—who had strayed from honoring God. He draws a powerful comparison to modern Christian leadership, stressing that following a leader is valid only when that leader follows Christ. The message is strong: leaders who veer off course not only mislead others but risk divine correction. Dave issues a warning grounded in Scripture, noting that even blessings can be turned into curses when people misuse them or ignore God’s commands. He emphasizes that the Word of God, not public opinion or personal emotion, is the true plumb line for righteousness.

Section 3

As the show continues, Dave reflects on how all believers, knowingly or not, influence others and thus carry a degree of spiritual leadership. He critiques a common media narrative that reduces lifelong faithful servants of Christ—like John MacArthur—to secular headlines, instead of honoring their proclamation of Jesus. The discussion crescendos with a reminder of Jesus' example: the greatest leaders are the greatest servants. Dave closes in earnest prayer, asking the Lord for grace to lead humbly, point others to Jesus, and heed divine warnings. The message is clear—there's only one true superstar in heaven, and it’s not us. It's Jesus.

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.
