In the spirit of overcoming tremendous adversity, as we discussed in our previous episode with Mark Black, we introduce to you today Tahni Cullen. Tahni was blessed with a beautiful baby, who was named Josiah, "Fire of God." However, within just a couple of years, it was evident that Josiah was a bit different. He was sadly diagnosed with autism, leaving Tahni and her husband devastated. Yet, rather than wallow in self-pity, Tahni and her husband chose to seek the best care for Josiah, which eventually led them to realize that Josiah may be different from his peers, but he has a true fire within that inspires others in ways so-called "ordinary" people can. In this interview with Tahni, you'll learn: -The discovery of Josiah's autism, and the initial response to it...02:45 -Where is hope when there is no hope?...05:45 -Vaccines and inoculations and their role in bringing about autism...08:50 -The moment Tahni had a ray of hope for the future of Josiah...14:00 -Josiah has a major breakthrough in his learning and development!...19:00 -You'll do anything to help a child become what God means for it to become...22:10 -The importance of self-care while caring for another...28:00 -Supportive relationships outside the marriage while caring for a special-needs child...34:00 -Surprising results from Tahni writing her book about her experiences...37:00 -And much more...

I was seven-years-old when my daddy built me a wooden pulpit. I put on my plaid three-piece wool suit on a snowed-in Sunday to deliver a message on obedience to my family in the living room. Then, one day as this wonderful invention showed up at our house–a VCR–I picked up a flair for the theatrical as I would rewind and rehearse lines from the likes of “Anne of Green Gables.” The love of communication in writing, speaking, theater and sharing compelling stories has always run deep for me. It’s funny how you can trace those traits way back even to your childhood. Little did I know that language and expression that I loved the most would be whisked away from my only son, leaving me wounded and speechless before my God. An autism diagnosis at age two for our little boy, Josiah, was so swift, so final, with the words, “No known cause. No known cure. Lifelong.” My deepest question was, “Wow, what happens to hope when there is no hope?” Everything that I loved, believed in, and thought I knew about God got tested. If Jesus was Burden-Bearer, I knew somehow I would have to see if He would be that for me when the pressure of sickness, work, marriage, loneliness, finances, and spiritual wrestling dog-piled on our lives. Like so many things—impossible things—we are told to accept them and to learn to manage and to cope. The world is always trying to get us to just face facts and not to get our hopes up. “Your daughter is dead, Jairus. Why bother the teacher anymore?” But just when the facts start to get locked in as the “final answer,” if we listen hard enough, we will always hear Jesus say the same words He said to this dented father: “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” Does the same Jesus we serve today still sound like this? It’s a complex road these days to a simple faith like this: don’t fear; just believe. I’d been desperately pursuing healing for five years, and learned so much about what intimacy with God, my identity in Christ, and my inheritance really meant to living out a Christ-following life. But despite our gallant efforts to help our son, my boy still

In today's most compelling episode, we delve into the miraculous account of Steffani Besch, now a seasoned minister, but who as a young girl endured an extraordinary incident that defied all rational explanation. At a local swimming pool on an ordinary summer day in 1979, 13-year-old Steffani embarked on what all expected to be a fun-filled afternoon with friends. However, fate took an unforeseen turn when Steffani was accidentally knocked unconscious and sank to the bottom of the pool. Unnoticed by anyone around, it wasn't until several agonizing minutes later that her absence was realized. As panic set in, Steffani's friends and pool-goers frantically pulled her lifeless body from the water.

Rickey Hill will be the first to tell you "The Hill" isn't about him. "The Hill" refers to the pitching mound on the ball field. While making it to the major leagues is extremely difficult for even a person of optimal health, Rickey achieved it after being diagnosed with severe spinal degenerative disease as a young boy. And though his major league career was short-lived as his condition finally caught up to him, his pursuit of the dream of playing baseball at the highest level inspired everyone around him, and will surely inspire many many more through the release of the film. We were incredibly grateful for the opportunity to interview Rickey in advance of the film, so we hope you'll listen to his story and treat yourself to a night at the movies soon!
