Why record a members info-dump?

In this episode, Tony sits down with Derek and Jack, for an open and thoughtful discussion inspired by the book Decoding Cody and the revelations surrounding nonverbal autistic individuals who communicate through spelling. The conversation focuses on “the Hill,” a place these individuals describe as a real meeting point with Jesus, angels, and one another, free from the limits of their physical bodies. Together, they explore the idea of spiritual bridges, access to divine spaces, and why purity, truth, and discernment appear central to these experiences. They examine the concept of angelic warfare and the role prayer plays as an active force rather than a passive ritual. Scripture, near-death accounts, and Decoding Cody are used side by side. This episode is not about final answers, but about careful reflection and awakening to how deeply faith and prayer may shape unseen realities.

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