Is This Real? Multiple Autistic Kids Describe Identical Heavenly Encounters

In this episode, Tony sits down with Joseph Infranco to unpack the claims presented in his book, Decoding Cody, regarding the documented accounts of non-speaking autistic individuals who communicate through spelling. Drawing directly from the book, they examine the description of “the Hill,” a place where participants report meeting Jesus, angels, and one another beyond physical limitation. They explore the fascinating portrayals of spiritual warfare, angelic hierarchy, prayer as incense before God, and the insistence that everything on the Hill worships Christ. They also evaluate the book’s themes of discernment, counterfeit spiritual realms, and the possibility of a thinning veil between worlds. This episode carefully analyzes the book’s claims and wrestles with what they would mean for the Church.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
