1. Forty Days and Faith That Sees Beyond Sight

Dr. Spoon opens with a Bible trivia segment, asking how many days Jesus appeared to His disciples after the resurrection. The answer—forty days—unlocks a deeper teaching: nothing about that number is accidental. From Israel’s forty years in the wilderness to Jesus’ own forty days in the desert, Dr. Spoon reveals that divine timing is purposeful and layered with spiritual meaning. Faith isn’t about what we see, as Jesus said to Thomas—it’s about believing when we don’t. Dr. Spoon encourages listeners to embrace that blessed kind of faith—the kind that doesn't demand proof to believe.

2. A Cry for Healing, a Plea for a Miracle

A caller named Al shares a vulnerable prayer request about ongoing emotional conflict in his marriage. What started as a simple trivia call turns into a deeply moving moment of intercession. Dr. Spoon responds with a powerful, Spirit-filled prayer for wisdom, emotional healing, and divine intervention. He doesn't sugarcoat the difficulty of Al’s situation—he acknowledges the emotional toll and pleads with God for a miracle. The heartfelt prayer emphasizes God's willingness, not just His ability, to heal broken places. “We ask for a miracle,” Dr. Spoon says, “because that’s what it’s going to take.” And then, they trust together.

3. A Purse, a Procedure, and Perfect Provision

Nancy calls in next with a testimony that blends humor and faith. Facing a colonoscopy and feeling physically weak, she realized the night before that her purse—containing her ID—was missing. In spite of her distress, Nancy declared her trust in the Lord. Even when the hospital confirmed they didn’t need her physical ID because they had her info already, she knew it was God making a way. After the procedure, she surprisingly woke up alert and able to navigate her anxious husband home. The kicker? The purse was later found in her daughter’s car. Dr. Spoon and Nancy laugh, marveling at God’s faithfulness—even in quirky chaos.

4. Give Thanks, Get Ready for Miracles

In his closing teaching, Dr. Spoon returns to a foundational truth: gratitude activates faith. Quoting 1 Thessalonians 5:18 and Mark 6, he warns that a lack of thankfulness is directly linked to a lack of miracles. Jesus was limited in what He could do in His hometown because of unbelief—not because of His inability, but because of the people's closed hearts. Giving thanks in every situation releases faith and restrains doubt. Dr. Spoon urges believers not to fake gratitude, but to sincerely believe that God will work all things for good—even when it hurts, even when it’s uncertain. That kind of thanksgiving invites the supernatural.
