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

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.
