07-04-2025 part 3: Decisions, Dinners, and Divine Delight: Trusting God in the Everyday

7/4/2025
Section 1 The episode begins with an important insight from Luke 5, where Peter says, “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” This moment captures the heart of trusting God beyond our natural reasoning. Despite a night of failure, Peter chooses to act on Jesus’ word, making the “big D” decision—faith over logic. The broadcast ties this to our walk, reminding listeners that obedience often requires moving past visible outcomes and trusting God simply because He said so. This becomes a foundation for spiritual growth, progress, and peace in the Christian life. Section 2 As the show continues, the host creatively unpacks Old Testament Sabbath laws from Exodus 16, focusing on personal agency in day-to-day decisions. With humor and clarity, he teaches that God values our freedom within faith, highlighting how the Israelites were given the choice to bake or boil their manna. This lighthearted take—"It’s your car, pick the color"—emphasizes that God doesn’t micromanage every dinner choice or car purchase. While divine guidance is real, believers aren't meant to live in robotic dependence. Instead, we are trusted with choices and held accountable in wisdom and stewardship. Section 3 The final lessons celebrate both God’s justice and affection. In Zechariah 2, the Lord declares that anyone who touches His people touches the apple of His eye. This powerful truth reassures believers that they are deeply treasured and fiercely protected. The segment is punctuated by a mix of trivia questions, listener calls, and jokes, all blended into a joyous, God-honoring July 4th broadcast. As the show concludes, the focus returns to gratitude—both for America’s freedoms and for God's unwavering faithfulness. Through prayer and praise, listeners are encouraged to step into the weekend with confidence in God’s covering and guidance.

07-04-2025 part 2: The Friday Freedom Factor: Forgiveness, Focus, and the Father’s Heart

7/4/2025
Section 1 This episode of the David Spoon Experience embraces the unique freedom that Friday offers, allowing flexibility for spontaneous spiritual insights. The show opens with a message on forgiveness, urging listeners to stop waiting for others to make the first move and instead follow Jesus’ lead by releasing bitterness. The idea that forgiveness is proactive—especially when we’re holding a grudge—is a core biblical truth. Drawing from Mark 11:25, the message emphasizes that we must forgive while praying if we want God to forgive us. The host uses humor and relatable imagery (like taking our sticky notes back from the altar) to underscore how often we claim to forgive, only to emotionally reclaim the offense later. We are called to let go, repeatedly if needed, and ask for God’s help to do so. Section 2 The next spiritual reflection is titled “Riddle Me This,” drawing on Jesus’ question in John 1:38, “What are you looking for?” It challenges listeners to examine their motives in seeking Jesus—are we seeking Him for what He gives or for who He is? The lesson teaches that real discipleship involves surrender, not self-help, and that true life is found not in seeking self-realization but in surrendering to Christ. Jesus calls followers to take up their cross daily, not just to improve their lives. This countercultural view flips the script on many modern spiritual teachings and calls for a deeper reflection on purpose and allegiance. Section 3 The final major teaching dives into God’s view of His children and His fierce protection over them. The host encourages believers with the truth that the Lord holds a picture of His people in His heart, filled with compassion, comfort, and commitment. It’s also clear that the Lord takes it personally when others mistreat His children—He defends them like a loving Father. In addition to these teachings, the show includes trivia questions (like identifying Elijah as the one who turns hearts in Malachi 4:6 and Timothy as the recipient of Paul’s pastoral instruction), musical tributes to Independence Day, and humorous commentary about radio hiccups. Despite tech issues, the show remains joy-filled and spiritually grounded, encouraging listeners to keep pressing forward with faith, freedom, and forgiveness.

07-04-2025 part 1: Living for the Coming Kingdom: The Call to Holiness in the Face of Eternity

7/4/2025
Section 1 The show kicks off with vibrant energy and familiar elements: devotional reflections (the “DDDDD’s”), humorous sound effects, and biblical trivia. The overarching tone is joyful and reflective, inviting listeners to share what God has been teaching them over the week. This segment emphasizes the importance of community—encouraging listeners to call or text the show to connect, share testimonies, offer praise reports, or submit prayer requests. The host underscores that loving one another, in joy and sorrow, is central to the Christian life. He also reminds the audience that God's rebukes are sometimes blessings meant to redirect us lovingly. The broadcast is framed around gratitude for the country and an earnest prayer for national righteousness and divine guidance for leadership. Section 2 The main scriptural focus centers on 2 Peter 3:10–13, where the apostle Peter speaks of the Day of the Lord coming like a thief, bringing cosmic upheaval and divine judgment. This impending event should prompt Christians not to panic or become disengaged, but instead to live lives marked by holiness and godliness. The host humorously critiques past movements that anticipated Christ’s return with odd behaviors—like retreating to mountaintops—while making it clear that Peter offers a much more grounded directive: be holy, reflect God, and stay active in faithful living. The “thief” imagery isn't a scare tactic but a call to readiness, highlighting the surprise and certainty of Christ's return. Section 3 Peter’s message crescendos with a vision of a new heaven and new earth, where righteousness dwells. The host explains this as more than a reset—it’s a complete divine renewal of existence. Instead of clinging to this world, believers should be eagerly anticipating the next, keeping their hearts set on eternity. He rebukes the common phrase “too heavenly minded to be any earthly good,” arguing that true heavenly-mindedness produces real-world holiness. The closing prayer ties it all together, asking God to help believers reflect Christ while waiting eagerly for the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises. The trivia answer—Benjamin as Jacob’s youngest son—serves as a lighthearted conclusion to a message that is otherwise deeply weighty and spiritually stirring.

07-03-2025 part 3: When the Winds Obey and the Heart Overflows

7/3/2025
Section One Part Three begins with a trivia question from Matthew 8:27: “Even the winds and the what obey Him?” A caller, Joy-Ann, answers correctly—“waves”—and shares a moving testimony about God’s restoration in her life. Her story, tied to Jeremiah 29:10–14, reflects how the Lord returned her to the very street she once left behind, symbolizing His faithfulness. David responds with deep encouragement and a prayer of praise, rejoicing over how God brings full-circle healing and purpose. The atmosphere becomes a picture of community, gratitude, and shared worship—illustrating that testimonies strengthen others and bring glory to God. Section Two David transitions to ministry updates, explaining the station’s mission to operate more like the New Testament model: freely giving as they have freely received. He emphasizes their goal of spreading the Gospel and supporting other ministries without demanding payment. He acknowledges technical challenges, fundraising needs, and the broken tiles—literal and symbolic—but insists on moving forward. With clarity and conviction, he urges listeners to remember that just because something is hard doesn’t mean it’s not God. Obedience means staying the course until God says otherwise. With humor, honesty, and a bit of improvisation, he keeps the tone grounded and hopeful. Section Three The final segment is deeply personal. David shares his journey to KAAM, recounting a pivotal moment when God said, “I am with you more than you are with Me.” That encounter shifted his vision from running a business to pursuing ministry full-time. From that day, the show’s purpose became singular: glorify God and bless others. He recalls the challenges, triumphs, and people who helped along the way—from Pastor Ray’s push to get back on radio, to board members and studio staff. With tears and resolve, David affirms his calling and prays for all who’ve walked the journey. The message is clear: the ministry isn’t over—it’s moving forward.

07-03-2025 part 2: No Half-Mast Miracles: Faith, Humility, and Fullness in Christ

7/3/2025
Section One Part Two opens with the theme of Expository Thursday, as David explores 2 Thessalonians 1:11. Paul’s prayer for believers is that God would count them worthy of their calling and powerfully fulfill their every good desire and work of faith. David emphasizes this is not a salvation statement but a devotional one. He encourages listeners to grasp the depth of Paul’s confidence: that God does not operate in half-measures. When God fulfills a desire or brings about a work of faith, it is powerful, clear, and unmistakably divine. David insists the only thing blocking us from seeing it is our own doubt—not God’s limitations. Section Two The conversation shifts into practical encouragement, with phone calls from listeners like Roger and JD, both of whom contribute spiritually rich reflections. David walks Roger through a tech issue with grace, then affirms his faith statement that “faith without works is dead.” JD shares a praise report about a career decision requiring humility, which leads David into a discussion about how pride often blocks us from spiritual growth. Through these exchanges, David reinforces that being moldable before God—like showing up humbly, willing to change—is key to victorious Christian living. Show up, yield, and let the Lord work. Section Three David finishes by reiterating the importance of drawing closer to the Lord daily and never being ashamed of Jesus or His words. He reminds listeners that their faith should be active and surrendered, modeled after Jesus’ own prayer in Gethsemane. Praise reports and prayer requests are invited as a way of glorifying God and strengthening one another. The final devotional moment reflects on Romans 3:27, teaching that no one can boast before God because salvation is not based on works, but on faith. Our righteousness comes from Jesus alone—no good deed can erase the stain of sin, but Christ’s righteousness imputed to us makes us clean.

07-03-2025 part 1: Grief, Growth, and Grace: Walking with God in a Broken World

7/3/2025
Section One The show opens with its usual joyful energy, sound effects, and devotional humor. David sets the theme with a challenging question: Do we have faith in the Lord that great things are coming? He urges listeners to consider whether their Christian walk reflects confidence in God’s plans or anxious waiting for the next bad thing. Through a light-hearted but serious tone, he reminds listeners that God pulled them from destruction, placed them on solid ground, and deserves their full trust. The segment includes a caller, Sergio, who affirms God's mercy by reflecting on Scripture and shares his appreciation for the show’s influence on his spiritual journey. Section Two David responds to Sergio’s comments by exploring the idea of God’s grief over humanity’s rebellion, especially as mentioned in Genesis and Judges. He draws parallels between divine sorrow and the disappointment a parent might feel toward an ungrateful child. But he also emphasizes that such grief is directed toward those who do not care about God at all. For true believers, conviction is proof of the Holy Spirit's presence. David shares a personal story about his friend Ron, who feared blaspheming the Holy Spirit, and he reassures listeners that this fear itself is evidence of salvation. Only Christians care about grieving God—non-believers simply don’t. Section Three The final section deepens the theme of spiritual sensitivity. David teaches that transformation into Christ’s image is an ongoing, step-by-step process, supported by Scriptures like 2 Corinthians 3:17 and Philippians 1:6. He encourages listeners to stay soft-hearted despite the hardening effects of news, media, and the world around them. Practical advice includes cutting out media or habits that lead to spiritual stubbornness. The show closes with an uplifting call to deeper fellowship with God, an exhortation to grow in receptivity to His voice, and a prayer of repentance and renewal. With new tools like business cards and the HMIM Radio site, David reminds everyone that if God is with us, we’ve already won.

07-02-2025 part 3: The Pursuit That Satisfies

7/2/2025
Section 1 The broadcast opens with a heartfelt farewell and appreciation for Fred, a contributor to the show. His honesty and straightforwardness are highlighted, as well as his desire to continue contributing even as circumstances make that harder. The conversation turns to a reflection on the shift from traditional radio to digital formats, which can feel strange or unfamiliar to some but ultimately represent just a new way of doing the same thing. The speaker then segues into a biblical teaching from Ecclesiastes 2, where Solomon searches for meaning through laughter, wine, construction projects, wealth, servants, and entertainment. Despite all these efforts, Solomon finds them meaningless, demonstrating that material accomplishments and earthly pleasures cannot fulfill the deepest human longings. Section 2 Solomon’s exhaustive quest for satisfaction underscores the limits of human achievement. The text emphasizes that he tried everything—wealth, power, wisdom, pleasure, sex, entertainment, and societal contribution—but found it all empty. Despite having more than any person could dream of, he concludes that fulfillment is found not in possessions or experiences but in God. The preacher highlights this point passionately, noting that happiness is a gift from God, not a result of human effort. He references the "DNA" framework used in the ministry: Draw closer to God daily, Never be ashamed of Jesus or His words, and Always be ready to serve. These actions help align one's life with God’s purpose, which is where true satisfaction is found. Section 3 A touching caller segment follows, where a listener named Nancy shares a praise report about a breakthrough in her relationship with her daughter through therapy. The host offers a thoughtful and spiritually focused prayer for continued healing and guidance. The lesson then circles back to Philippians 2:13, where God is described as the one who works in believers both to will and to act according to His good purpose. This is framed as the true source of happiness: doing what God created us to do. The show closes with an invitation to the audience to pursue God wholeheartedly, recognizing that satisfaction, peace, and joy are not self-generated but God-given gifts discovered through divine partnership.

07-02-2025 part 2: Solomon's Search and the Secret of Satisfaction

7/2/2025
Section 1 Dr. David Spoon kicks off the second part of the broadcast with his signature mix of humor and humility, quickly acknowledging technical mishaps and imperfect execution—but insists that what really matters is getting the truth out and drawing closer to God and each other. He uses the opening to introduce one of his favorite biblical reviews: the journey of Solomon in Ecclesiastes. Solomon’s exploration of life’s pursuits—knowledge, wisdom, wealth, power, pleasure, and indulgence—all lead him to one conclusion: nothing truly satisfies apart from the eternal. Despite having access to every worldly resource, Solomon could not manufacture the joy he longed for. Section 2 As the lesson deepens, Dr. Spoon reflects on the biblical idea that testimonies increase our faith by reminding us of God's faithfulness. Unlike people—or even pets—God never fails us. He highlights how Solomon, despite having unimaginable wealth and resources, ultimately discovered that human attempts to secure lasting happiness or meaning fall painfully short. The problem isn’t lack of opportunity, but the unavoidable truth of sin. Human satisfaction is constantly shifting, unreliable, and elusive when pursued outside of God. Only the Lord knows what truly fulfills us because only He created us with that unique design in mind. Section 3 Ecclesiastes begins with Solomon calling life “meaningless”—or in alternative translations, “frustrating” or “empty”—when disconnected from the eternal. Dr. Spoon points out that sin is essentially anything contrary to God, and when people try to manufacture their own happiness apart from Him, they inevitably miss the mark. Satisfaction cannot be attained through external achievement or fleeting moments of happiness; it comes only through abiding in God's presence. Even mountaintop spiritual experiences, as incredible as they are, give way to valleys that require perseverance. But those moments remind us of our true destination: the joy and rest that await in eternity with God, where satisfaction will be full and permanent.

07-02-2025 part 1: Created to Rejoice — Living in the Satisfaction of God’s Design

7/2/2025
Section 1 Dr. David Spoon opens the show with joy and humor, setting a vibrant tone for the audience. Amid sound effects and quirky lines, he urges listeners to seriously consider how they can bless someone during the week—not just a fleeting gesture, but an intentional act of kindness or love. He offers examples like a thoughtful message or a small gift, emphasizing the personal responsibility each believer carries to bring goodness into another person’s life. The show maintains a spiritual and engaging rhythm by welcoming calls, texts, and emails to share praise reports and prayer needs, reinforcing the sense of community. Section 2 Diving into Psalm 65, Dr. Spoon focuses on verses 9 through 11, highlighting how God provides for creation by enriching the earth with water and grain. He emphasizes that these gifts from God are not limited to the righteous but are poured out on all people, just and unjust alike. This reflects God's desire to remain connected with His creation and extend opportunities for people to respond to Him. The recurring theme is that God doesn’t act randomly or wastefully; everything He does in our lives is deliberate and purposeful, designed to reveal His wisdom and love. Section 3 The passage crescendos with David's recognition that creation itself rejoices in fulfilling its purpose. The hills, valleys, and flocks all shout for joy and sing as they operate according to their divine design. Dr. Spoon parallels this with human purpose, asserting that people experience profound satisfaction only when living in alignment with God’s intentions. Spending time with God, engaging in fellowship, and serving others are not just good deeds—they are intrinsic to our fulfillment. Proverbs 19:23 ties the message together: “The fear of the Lord leads to life; he who has it will abide in satisfaction.” The deepest joy, Dr. Spoon reminds us, is found not in life’s distractions but in God Himself.

07-01-2025 part 3: Promises, Prison, and the Power of Jealousy

7/1/2025
Section 1 David Spoon opens with an emphatic reminder from Romans 11: God's people have not stumbled beyond recovery. He underscores the absurdity of thinking God would permanently abandon the Jews, drawing on his own Jewish background to highlight the weight of such a claim. The assurance is rooted in God’s covenant with Abraham, which is unbreakable. While Gentiles have been grafted into the promise through faith, they are not its sole heirs. Instead, God's divine plan includes both Jews and Gentiles, each playing a distinct and critical role. This foundational understanding sets the tone for examining how God's faithfulness and redemptive strategy unfold throughout history. Section 2 A major theme emerges as Paul’s courtroom defense becomes a launching point for spiritual reflection: do we really believe God will fulfill His promises? Paul was persecuted not for rebellion but for trusting that God would redeem His people and raise the dead. David challenges listeners to hold firm to that same belief, even if it means taking a stand in the face of societal ridicule. Throughout the segment, listener interaction provides moments of warmth and connection—callers offer answers to Bible trivia, share spiritual reflections, and encourage one another. One especially touching moment involves a caller, Shel, who realizes he's already been walking in daily gratitude—a key theme David had been emphasizing in recent teachings. Section 3 The discussion deepens as David explores God's use of unexpected methods—such as jealousy—to draw His people back to Him. He explains how opening the door of salvation to the Gentiles was part of God's intentional design to awaken desire among the Jews. The goal wasn’t to exclude but to provoke reflection and hunger, reminding Israel of their own covenantal destiny. This elegant strategy reveals a God who works beyond human logic, weaving people and purposes together across time. As David wraps up with historical trivia and listener contributions, the heart of the show remains clear: God’s promises are trustworthy, His methods are intricate, and His love is persistent—for both Jews and Gentiles alike.

07-01-2025 part 2: Cheat Meals, Call-ins, and Kingdom Work: A Joyful Broadcast

7/1/2025
Section One The show opens with warm camaraderie, highlighting the joy and love that frames the David Spoon Experience. David emphasizes the value of being “willing” — a heart yielded to God even if actions aren’t perfect. His introduction includes personal background, a lighthearted reminder that it’s not “professional radio,” and an invitation to listeners to engage through email, text, or call. He playfully introduces the idea of connecting with one another as being like enjoying a cheat meal with a loved one — fun, rewarding, and shared in fellowship. He then offers the first trivia question: Which woman was married to King David? Section Two A listener named JD calls in, answers the trivia correctly (Bathsheba), and shares that he’s nearing the end of cancer treatment. David responds with affection and faith, praying over JD with scripture and encouragement. The interaction showcases the program’s heart: community, intercession, and scriptural grounding. Following that call, David leads the audience in the show’s regular “DNA” reminder: D for drawing closer to God daily, N for never being ashamed of Jesus or His words, and A for always being ready to serve. He stresses prioritizing God above all else and treating every moment and location as potential ministry. Section Three The segment continues with listener interaction as another caller, Fred, answers the second trivia question about tax collectors (correctly naming Matthew). The discussion expands to include updates about station changes, emphasizing the show’s shift from AM broadcasting to online platforms like HMIMradio.org. Fred expresses his appreciation for the ministry and David explains the resources available, including Christian music and comedy. Returning to Romans 11, David underscores how Paul uses scripture from Moses, Isaiah, and David to affirm God’s sovereign plan. He humorously critiques overconfidence in end-time theories and reminds listeners that trusting God is more vital than understanding every detail.

07-01-2025 part 1: Blind Fools, Gracious God, and Real Priorities

7/1/2025
Section 1 The show opens with its signature upbeat tone, incorporating humorous sound effects and playful banter that prepares the audience for a unique and unscripted spiritual experience. Dr. Dave introduces today’s broadcast by posing a reflective question: "What is your favorite scripture from the book of Esther?" He encourages listeners to call, text, or email their responses while reinforcing the idea that sharing testimonies or spiritual moments is a key part of Christian stewardship. Referencing Isaiah 43:7, he reminds everyone that we were created for God’s glory and that sharing both prayer requests and praise reports helps strengthen our faith and bless others. Section 2 In a serious pivot, Dr. Dave addresses the imminent closing of the KAAM 770 radio station, a platform he’s broadcasted on for over six years. Despite the station shutting down, he reassures listeners that the show will continue via a new internet radio platform (HMIMradio.org), along with apps available for various devices. A notable moment includes a prayer for healing, where he calls on listeners to stretch out their faith and join him in asking for divine intervention on behalf of those suffering. The prayer is deeply reverent, invoking the authority and name of Jesus, and invites the presence of God into listeners’ personal struggles. Section 3 The devotional teaching centers on Matthew 23:17 and the severe rebuke Jesus gave the religious leaders, calling them "blind fools" for prioritizing material wealth over sacred matters. Dr. Dave draws a parallel to modern society’s obsession with money, emphasizing that the Pharisees valued the gold and gifts on the altar more than the holiness of the altar itself. He drives home the point that anything placed above God—even blessings or wealth—becomes idolatry. This lesson is punctuated by a trivia question about biblical prophets and a listener call-in that affirms the interactive and community-driven nature of the show. As he wraps up, Dr. Dave reiterates the importance of maintaining spiritual priorities and encourages continued engagement through the upcoming broadcast transitions.

06-30-2025 part 3: The Power of the 5,000: A Lesson in Faith, Gratitude, and Redemption

6/29/2025
Section 1: The broadcast opens with a warm welcome and transitions into a heartfelt appeal for support. David emphasizes that while he and Noelle have borne much of the financial burden for the ministry, they now need others to step in generously to help sustain the mission through the current and coming month. Despite the call for support, there's a clear message of inclusiveness and grace: even those who can't afford to give are still fully loved and welcomed. There is also a humorous interlude featuring a soundbite about remembering the Alamo, reinforcing the show's unique blend of depth and levity. The segment sets the tone for a deeper exploration into the message drawn from the miracle of feeding the 5,000 in Mark 6. Section 2: David then shifts to the biblical text, highlighting how Jesus directed the people to sit down, an act symbolizing rest and stillness amidst anxiety. Drawing on humorous personal analogies, like his excitable dog Bert, David makes a compelling point about the need to calm down and trust. The pivotal verse—Mark 6:41—marks a shift: Jesus takes the loaves and fish, looks to heaven, and gives thanks. This moment, according to David, encapsulates the source of divine provision. The emphasis is that Jesus didn’t look to the crowd, the need, or a bank account—but to heaven, the true source. Gratitude, even in perceived lack, becomes the gateway to miraculous abundance, challenging listeners to adopt the same attitude of thankfulness regardless of circumstance. Section 3: The teaching concludes with a powerful theological reflection on waste and redemption. David confronts the mistaken belief that past years of failure or sin render a person useless. He affirms that God, who doesn’t waste even the crumbs from a miracle, likewise doesn’t waste the experiences of our lives. Every event, relationship, and lesson has purpose, even if it seems futile in the moment. Using examples like Moses’ 40 years in the desert or Elijah and the widow, he underscores that what we think is “wasted” can become a training ground for God's greater plan. The message closes with a reminder that only the Creator can satisfy the creation—and a passionate prayer of gratitude and repentance that ties the whole message together in humility and hope.

06-30-2025 part 2: When Jesus Knows Before We Do

6/29/2025
Section 1 The message began with a reminder that God is always ahead of us, even when we don’t know what’s coming. Pastor Kurt, who had asked David to preach several weeks prior, had no idea he would face an emergency trip to Pennsylvania. Yet, God orchestrated everything perfectly. David was ready to step in, demonstrating how the Lord is always present around every corner. Matthew 10:29 reminds us that not even a sparrow falls without the Father's knowledge, and Jesus affirms we are far more valuable than sparrows. This wasn’t just coincidence—it was a moment of divine coordination. God is not surprised by anything in our lives. He never says, “Uh-oh.” He knows exactly what we face, and He is already there, providing for our needs before we’re even aware of them. Section 2 As the teaching transitioned into Mark 6:30–44, David emphasized Jesus’ instruction to His disciples to rest. It was a command to withdraw and find restoration in quiet, away from the noise. Jesus knew their physical and emotional limits. When the crowds still came, Jesus took over, not with frustration, but with compassion. He saw them as sheep without a shepherd and taught them many things. This moment reflects God’s heart—compassionate, aware, and responsive. He weeps with those who weep, as He did in John 11:35. Jesus connects to our pain, not just observing it but feeling it. The same Lord who wept at Lazarus’ tomb feels our stress, our heartbreak, and our questions. And through it all, He reminds us that His care is personal, constant, and rooted in love. Section 3 When the disciples suggested sending the crowd away to find food, Jesus flipped the expectation: “You give them something to eat.” The disciples resisted, concerned about cost and logistics. But Jesus called them—and us—to be part of the solution, not to pass the burden along. With only five loaves and two fish, Jesus showed that what seems insufficient to us is more than enough in His hands. Every week, every year, He covers our needs. It’s a lesson in faith, trust, and willingness to participate in the Kingdom’s work. The Lord’s faithfulness doesn’t depend on our abundance but on His sovereignty. Our job is to step up when called, trusting that He has already prepared the way. As always, He’s not only around the corner—He’s already working there.

06-30-2025 part 1: Start Button Grace: How God Uses Even Our Mistakes

6/29/2025
Section 1 Sometimes, even with the best of intentions and meticulous planning, things go hilariously wrong. That’s exactly what happened when I forgot to hit the “start” button for the broadcast. I had just completed what might have been the most flawless show intro of my life—every sound hit perfectly, every word timed right, and the flow completely natural—only to discover I wasn’t even broadcasting. As humbling as that was, it became a divine reminder that God has a sense of humor and a way of reminding us to stay in our lane. Mondays are when we start the week with prayer, and it just so happened that today, new listeners might have tuned in only to find… nothing. That little mishap became a great metaphor: even when we forget to push the button, God doesn’t forget to push ours. He’s still in control. If you’re in need of prayer, we are here for you—real people from real backgrounds who believe in a real God who really answers prayer. Section 2 That theme of humility continued throughout the first part of the broadcast. We were reminded that the kingdom of God isn’t about perfect production, but about participation—joining one another in prayer, encouragement, and testimony. Scripture calls us to bear one another’s burdens and love each other as Jesus has loved us. And while I may have forgotten to hit the start button, the Lord didn’t forget to remind me of the greater mission. Whether it's a praise report, a request, or just needing a moment to share your heart, we’re here. This show—and now, the station—is about something much deeper than content. It’s about community. If you're part of the group who listens to ministries on KAAM 770, we want to partner with you. We're launching a new station online, HMIM Radio, where we’re opening the door wide for legitimate ministries to broadcast freely, without cost, only asking them to share about us in return. The goal is not perfection—it’s participation in God’s plan. Section 3 Don Crawford Jr., a dear friend in the Lord, sent out a letter inviting ministries to join this journey with us. We don’t know exactly how it will unfold—but we’re trusting God to bring the right people and the right shows at the right time.

06-27-2025 part 1: Preserved by His Word, Awaiting His Return

6/27/2025
Section 1 The teaching begins in 2 Peter 3:5, where Peter rebukes those who deliberately ignore God's historical judgment and creative power. These scoffers deny both the biblical flood and the second coming of Christ, not out of ignorance but rebellion—they simply refuse to be held accountable. The Scripture teaches that the universe was spoken into existence by God’s word and that same word also brought judgment through the flood. The argument is not just about scientific timelines or cosmic beginnings; it's about people denying God's sovereignty to avoid facing their own moral responsibility. But believers, by contrast, embrace accountability because they have Jesus as their advocate. We are joyful, not fearful, in acknowledging God as Creator and Judge. Section 2 Peter presses further in verse 7, noting that the current heavens and earth are being preserved by that same divine word—not by human ingenuity, diplomacy, or environmental stewardship. Mankind, though technologically advanced, has proven itself unreliable as a steward. From viruses to thousands of nuclear weapons in hostile hands, it's clear that humanity is not preserving the planet—God is. Just as God preserved the earth after the flood for future judgment, He continues to preserve it now. His timeline is exact. Nothing and no one can alter the day of judgment He has set. This divine control serves as both a warning and a reassurance: God is in command, and His purpose cannot be derailed by human error or defiance. Section 3 Peter then shares an astonishing perspective on divine timing: “With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like a day” (2 Peter 3:8). This is not theological guesswork—it’s a call for humility. Whether one holds to premillennial, postmillennial, or amillennial views, the central truth remains: God’s timing transcends human comprehension. Believers are reminded to hold tightly to the core of the gospel—Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection—while holding loosely to speculative end-time details. God exists outside of time, and that truth should inspire both awe and patience. Ultimately, the day of judgment will bring joy to believers who long for their eternal home. We are spiritual foreigners here, living in hope for the day when all is made right.
