Section 1

The segment opens with lively banter, humor, and a trivia question that keeps listeners engaged. Dr. Dave weaves together interactivity, fellowship, and lighthearted fun while reminding the audience of the ministry’s needs and encouraging cheerful giving. After moving through trivia, communication reminders, and gratitude for listener support, he returns to the theme of dreams. He stresses once again that dreams never hold the same authority as Scripture, yet God can use them for guidance, wisdom, encouragement, and even correction. He notes that across 47 years of walking with the Lord, he has experienced only a handful of dreams that he is convinced were from God, underscoring that such moments are rare and not dependent on personal effort or spiritual performance. What matters most is that dreams must always align with the Word of God and be held with humility.

Section 2

Dr. Dave then shares one of the most impactful dream-related experiences of his life—one that directly influenced his ongoing ministry. Years before a painful spiritual crisis, he had a vivid dream of driving down a snowy road with a church on the left. He didn’t understand it at the time and soon forgot about it. After escaping a harmful church situation and struggling with confusion, frustration, and deep disappointment, he found himself driving down a mountain road in Colorado. Suddenly the Holy Spirit’s presence filled the car, and he recognized the road from that old dream. Moments later, he reached the exact church he had seen years earlier. That recognition softened his heart and opened him to receive ministry from Pastor David Hunsworth, who compassionately expressed God’s love, leading Dr. Dave to finally break and heal. He emphasizes that without that dream, he may not have remained in ministry, because the dream showed him God was ahead of him, preparing his steps long before he knew he needed help.

Section 3

The teaching closes by reinforcing that God communicates in many ways—not just through dreams, but through Scripture, prayer, creation, circumstances, and answered prayer. Every communication from God is a miracle and an expression of His love for His people. Dr. Dave reminds listeners that while dreams can be prophetic, comforting, or instructive, many dreams are simply the mind working through clutter and require no spiritual analysis. The key is discernment, humility, and grounding every experience in the Word of God. He encourages believers to recognize God’s faithfulness even when His methods or timing differ from expectations. Whether through dreams, direction, delays, or unexpected blessings, God's communication serves one purpose: to draw His children closer, strengthen their trust, and remind them that He is always present, always working, and always leading them forward in love.

Section 1

The hour opens with a lively and humorous introduction, emphasizing the unpredictable and joyful nature of the Christian walk. Dr. Dave immediately shifts into a message that diverges from his usual theological deep dives. Instead, he focuses on a topic that many believers wrestle with—dreams. Not the metaphorical kind linked to ambition, but the literal dreams that happen during sleep, along with visions that God has historically given His people. He notes that Scripture repeatedly shows God speaking through dreams, citing figures such as Joseph, Daniel, Jacob, Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, and Joseph the earthly father of Jesus. He clearly distinguishes these from wishful thinking, reminding listeners that while dreams can be spiritually significant, they never supersede the authority of Scripture.

Section 2

Dr. Dave expands on why God may choose dreams as a means of communication. He explains that imagery often reaches deeper parts of the heart and mind than waking logic can. When awake, people analyze, argue, and resist, but while asleep, those defenses lower, making room for God to reveal something profound. He emphasizes that dreams can bypass rational barriers and reach areas that need correction, encouragement, or direction. He also acknowledges that not every dream is divine—some dreams are simply the mind processing excess thoughts, stress, or even late-night food choices. Yet the biblical record, along with passages like Job 33, shows that God does sometimes speak through dreams to warn, guide, or protect His people. With this foundation laid, he transitions back into the familiar rhythms of the show—calls, texts, praise reports, prayer requests, humor, and trivia—maintaining the blend of fellowship and instruction that marks the program.

Section 3

The message returns to Scripture with Daniel 7, highlighting how Daniel documented the substance of his dream much like a parable—focusing on the central message rather than every small detail. Dr. Dave stresses that God still uses dreams today, not as a replacement for the Bible but as a personal method of guidance when He chooses. He shares a deeply personal story from his early Christian life when God used a dream to reassure him of his salvation at a time when he desperately needed clarity. That experience marked him and helped solidify his journey forward. He then reflects on how God uses difficult seasons, even harmful environments, to shape His people—sharing a powerful insight from Gene Edwards that God let David sit under Saul so He could “beat the Saul out of David.” This ties the entire message together: God communicates, shapes, guides, and transforms His people through many means, including dreams, discipline, Scripture, and lived experience, all because of His love and commitment to their growth.

Section 1

The opening of the broadcast sets a lively tone with humor, music references, and the familiar rhythm of the show. Dr. Dave introduces the day’s focus while engaging listeners through questions about stream access, interaction options, and the central topic about choosing the best Bible translation for personal use. He explains that the question is intentionally simple and personal, inviting people to reflect on what translation works best for them without comparison or theological debate. The energy is upbeat and relational, emphasizing connection between host and audience. A surprise birthday acknowledgment arrives through a call from Joanne, creating a warm moment filled with appreciation, humor, and stories from Dr. Dave’s past, such as his bar mitzvah and key birthdays. This section blends show identity, personal connection, and spiritual reflection into a strong opening atmosphere.

Section 2

The conversation flows into deeper spiritual territory as the show transitions toward prayer. Several individuals in the community are lifted up, including Al facing an MRI, Terry and Jeanette, Roslyn and Robert in therapy, and others experiencing challenges. Dr. Dave emphasizes the importance of encouraging one another, carrying burdens, and recognizing the power and purpose of prayer. He also shares praise for Cindy’s successful surgery, reinforcing gratitude as a vital spiritual practice. A theme develops regarding discouragement and timing—specifically, how believers often struggle when God’s answers do not match their own expectations. Dr. Dave highlights that the Lord’s timing and methods belong to Him, urging listeners to find comfort in His presence rather than grow disheartened by unmet expectations.

Section 3

The reflection then moves to a teaching based on Jesus’ interaction with Bartimaeus. Although Bartimaeus’ need seems obvious, Jesus still asks, “What do you want Me to do for you?” Dr. Dave points out that the question was not for Jesus’ clarity but for Bartimaeus’ focus. He applies this principle to modern believers, encouraging them to articulate what they truly desire from the Lord and to recognize that intentional seeking matters. He explains his own lifelong answer—to desire more of the Lord above everything else—because every other need ultimately rests in God’s presence and purpose. The message reinforces that true abundance comes from drawing closer to God, letting Him shape desires, and trusting that all other concerns fall into place. The segment ends with anticipation for the next hour's discussion on dreams, tying back to earlier personal stories and keeping momentum for continued teaching.

Section 1

Paul continues addressing the Roman church by calling them back to unity, reminding them that differences in personality, background, and preference are normal within the Body of Christ. He uses the example of everyday disagreements—such as favorite teams or personal quirks—to show that variety is not a threat to faith. What matters is the shared foundation: Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again, and believers unite around that truth rather than around identical perspectives. Paul emphasizes that individuality is not sinful; it is part of God’s design. What becomes unhealthy is when believers elevate personal preferences into spiritual requirements, losing sight of the love and acceptance that Jesus calls His followers to extend toward one another.

Section 2

Paul moves deeper into his teaching by reminding believers that they are not their own masters. Whether in life or in death, they belong to The Lord. This truth removes the grounds for treating one another with superiority or judgment. He explains that each servant answers to their own Master, and no believer has authority over another’s conscience unless Scripture explicitly defines an issue as sin. Unity in essential doctrine is necessary, but personal expressions of faith—such as how someone honors certain days or how they live out minor convictions—are matters between that person and Jesus. Paul stresses that believers must avoid the trap of trying to fix or reshape one another based on personal opinions rather than biblical truth.

Section 3

The passage culminates in a clear warning against spiritual overreach. Jesus died and rose again so that He alone would be Lord over both the living and the dead. That means no spiritual leader, pastor, or fellow believer has the right to impose their personal standards as though they were divine law. Abusive or manipulative forms of authority arise when someone elevates personal conviction above Scripture and demands uniformity instead of unity. Paul teaches that believers should focus on serving rather than controlling, following the humility of Jesus who washed the disciples’ feet. True Kingdom strength is built through grace, service, and mutual respect—not through dominance. When believers recognize that unity already exists through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, they are freed to love one another without forcing conformity, honoring The Lord by honoring His people.

Section 1

The story begins with a lighthearted moment that unexpectedly became the doorway to something God was orchestrating behind the scenes. A simple grandfatherly joke about Bucky’s turned into a running theme for little Ana, and that enthusiasm aligned perfectly with a delay that allowed a problem to surface at exactly the right moment. When Jared and Julianne’s car broke down at Bucky’s, the timing prevented prayer time from beginning, allowed communication to happen immediately, and opened the way for a smooth and gracious resolution. A mechanic was secured, the needed part was already identified, and repairs were completed quickly and affordably. What might have been a crisis became a moment of provision, direction, and unexpected fellowship, reminding us that God often uses interruptions to position us exactly where He wants us.

Section 2

The following day continued the theme of joyful surprises. With repairs complete and the family choosing to remain an extra day, a humorous plan was formed to welcome Josh and Ashley when they arrived. By hiding the rest of the family and leaving only Easton visible, a playful moment unfolded that completely caught them off guard. Their confusion, questions, and reactions turned into shared laughter once everyone emerged. The room filled with children, car seats, conversations, and the kind of warmth that only a large, close-knit family can generate. Seven little ones sleeping wall-to-wall became a picture of blessing, and the time together reinforced how moments of delay or disruption can open the door to joy that was never scheduled.

Section 3

After the family time, the teaching shifted back into Scripture, specifically Romans 14, highlighting the importance of honoring personal convictions within the Body of Christ. Paul makes clear that while believers share unity in core truths, they may differ in how they honor specific days, handle traditions, or approach personal practices. These differences are not grounds for division. Each believer answers to The Lord for their own convictions, and sincerity before Him is what matters. Paul calls the Church to avoid judging one another over issues that do not touch salvation or sound doctrine. The heart behind someone’s actions—whether they celebrate, abstain, eat, refrain, gather early, or gather late—is known fully to God. Our responsibility is to walk in love, avoid imposing our preferences, and resist the temptation to elevate personal style over spiritual substance. The unity Christ calls for is rooted in grace, humility, and the understanding that every believer stands or falls before their own Master.

Section 1

The passage in Matthew 25 revisits the parable of the three servants, emphasizing how Jesus teaches stewardship as an intentional expression of ongoing faith. The servants received different amounts, not because of their skill or merit, but because The Lord entrusted each with what He knew they could handle. Their task was not competition but cooperation with His purposes. The point is that gifts are never for boasting; they are for serving the people of God. Spiritual maturity isn’t determined by what someone possesses but by how they use what God places in their hands. Whether it is time, talent, or treasure, the calling is to invest what we are given for His purposes.

Section 2

The servant with two bags of gold demonstrated this perfectly. He returned with double, and his Master celebrated him in the same exact way He celebrated the servant who doubled five. Jesus makes clear that the reward is based on faithfulness, not volume. The Pharisees had wrongly believed that outward success or wealth signified God’s favor, yet Jesus praised the widow who gave less in amount but more in heart. The emphasis remains steady: God values devotion, not comparison. Whether someone ministers to thousands or tens, what matters is the heart that serves with what has been entrusted.

Section 3

But the last servant introduces a different lesson. Instead of gratitude, he responded with blame and accusations, revealing distrust toward his Master. Fear, not faith, governed his decision, and he buried what was given to him. Jesus points out that the issue was not the smallness of the gift, but the smallness of his faith. The Master later calls him wicked, not for failing, but for doing nothing. God is never displeased when someone tries and falls short; He is displeased when fear keeps someone from trying at all. Every believer has been entrusted with something to advance His Kingdom, and Jesus urges us not to hide or bury those things. Faithfulness means stepping out, trusting The Lord to guide, teach, and strengthen, knowing inactivity—not failure—is the real loss.

Section 1

The history of Thanksgiving is deeply rooted in gratitude to God, beginning with the pilgrims who survived extraordinary hardship and set aside days of prayer and praise for His provision. Their early celebrations focused on God’s faithfulness—thanking Him for food, safety, freedom, and unexpected help when their resources seemed gone. Presidents from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln reinforced this connection between national gratitude and God’s goodness, and Thanksgiving became a formal reminder to honor the Lord for His blessings. The modern distortions about the holiday’s origin ignore the truth that believers gathered to celebrate survival, answered prayer, and God’s care. For Christians today, this season calls us back to thankful hearts, recognizing that rejoicing, gratitude, and praise are essential expressions of faith in every circumstance.

Section 2

With that in mind, prayer becomes central to how we approach Thanksgiving, especially for families dealing with division, loneliness, or discouragement. God understands every dynamic we face, from political disagreements to relational strain, and He offers comfort, grace, and peace to those who seek Him. Thanksgiving is not about perfect gatherings but about recognizing God’s constant presence and expressing gratitude for the people He has placed in our lives, whether close by or connected through ministry and fellowship. Each of us carries burdens, but God’s compassion is new every morning, His mercies never fail, and He remains faithful no matter how uncertain life feels. His love sustains us daily, and He calls us to trust that He will meet every need according to His wisdom and timing.

Section 3

Scripture consistently teaches us to cast anxiety aside and walk with God one day at a time. Philippians urges us not to be anxious about anything, but to bring everything—every fear, problem, and request—to God with thanksgiving. Peter reminds us that we can cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares deeply for us. Psalm 37 gives a practical picture of daily faith: we lean on the Lord, we love Him, we lift our paths to Him, and then we let go, trusting His goodness. This daily walk requires sincerity, commitment, and belief, speaking truth in faith and standing on God’s promises. When we live this way—day by day, with gratitude and trust—His peace guards our hearts and minds, giving us strength for today without being overwhelmed by tomorrow.

Section 1

In this teaching, Jesus directs us to stop worrying about the essentials of life, reminding us that our Heavenly Father already knows what we need. He points to the birds and the flowers to show how completely God cares for His creation, and emphasizes that we are far more valuable. The instruction not to worry is repeated multiple times because Jesus knows how naturally we drift toward anxiety. He highlights the truth that worry adds nothing to our lives, and instead calls us to seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that everything else will be provided. This emphasis on daily focus leads to the simple but wise conclusion that each day has its own trouble, and we are not meant to borrow fear from tomorrow.

Section 2

This ties directly into the example of manna from Heaven, where God supplied exactly what was needed each day. Anything gathered beyond that daily portion would spoil, which served as a powerful reminder that God’s provision is always timely and intentional. Just as Israel had to trust God fresh every morning, so we must trust Him in the present moment. Faith is for today, while hope reaches toward the future. When we try to stretch today’s faith into tomorrow’s unknowns, we lose strength and clarity. Abraham Lincoln’s simple practice of not worrying about how to cross a difficult creek until he actually reached it reflects the same principle. God calls us to use today’s measure of faith for the situations of today, knowing that tomorrow will receive its own supply when it arrives.

Section 3

James reinforces this by cautioning against presuming upon future outcomes, noting that our lives are like a mist that appears briefly and vanishes. Planning is not condemned, but planning with anxiety or self-certainty is. Instead, everything must be yielded to the Lord’s will. Worry is not optional; Jesus commands us not to engage in it. God knows every need—financial, emotional, physical, spiritual—and He is never caught off guard. Our part is to pursue Him with sincerity and to walk with Him day by day, trusting that nothing surprises Him even when much surprises us. This daily partnership with God is His invitation: when we commit ourselves fully to Him, He commits His help fully to us, and that promise is more than enough.
