What if non-speaking autistic children are unlocking spiritual mysteries through what seems like telepathy, echoing biblical visions of angels, demons, and heavenly realms? In this episode of The Remnant Radio, we sit down with constitutional attorney turned pastor Joe Infranco to unpack the controversial “Telepathy Tapes” podcast and its claims of paranormal communication among autistic individuals.

Joe Infranco, a veteran defender of religious freedoms who litigated landmark Supreme Court cases for churches and now serves as Associate Pastor at Highlands Church in Scottsdale, AZ, brings his courtroom rigor to these extraordinary stories. Drawing from his book Decoding Cody: Secrets of the Spectrum from People with Autism Who See, Hear, and Smell in the Unseen Realm, Joe examines how these children’s revelations align with Christian theology on the spiritual realm, discerning between demonic deception and genuine prophetic insight. We’ll explore the Telepathy Tapes—a hit 2024 podcast by Ky Dickens featuring interviews with parents and “experts” claiming nonspeaking autistics demonstrate ESP, past-life memories, and interdimensional contact—through a biblical lens.

Cessationists claim they vanished throughout church history, but that's a myth. In Remnant Radio’s new ebook, History of Spiritual Gifts: The Myth of Cessationism, I dive into church history to reveal the active use of spiritual gifts by early church fathers
