Tahni Cullen spoke at a women's retreat I emceed over ten years ago, and her story is one I'll never forget. I sat alone in the front row and wept as she shared about how her son, Josiah, a happy, talkative baby, regressed at the age of 19 months into the world of a non-speaking autistic diagnosis. When Josiah was around 7 or 8 years old, he began spelling, and the fire within him roared. Tahni has been the torchbearer of her son's thoughts and livelihood since.

In the spirit of overcoming tremendous adversity, as we discussed in our previous episode with Mark Black, we introduce to you today Tahni Cullen. Than 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...Resources mentioned:Josiah's Fire bookJosiah's Fire Facebook pageGuest's bio and social handles:I have loved God and the Bible for as long as I can remember. 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...

Using RPM to communicate, Josiah tells him mom that he often wakes up at 3:00 am and Angels take him to “school” in heaven! When he returns he wakes up his mom to type to her and begins to tell her the things and people he has seen in heaven, things she never told him about and he had no way of knowing. Listen to hear who and what he sees! Since writing her book “Josiah's Fire” about all of this, she has heard from parents of other children who are having the same experiences. “Josiah's Fire” by Tahni Cullen is available on Amazon.

THE SPIRITUAL LIVES OF AUTISTIC CHILDREN // One in every 54 children has autism, and one-third of those are non-verbal. Yet they are still a part of the Joel 2:28 generation. Who’s that? God identified them, "In the last days I would pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and daughters will prophesy."So is autism one of the Enemies’ modern-day strategies to silence the prophetic voices of the boys and girls in this generation that God has given this special assignment? Today I’m interviewing Tahni Cullen, the mother of an autistic boy named Josiah, who is over-the-top prophetic, and profound, and though he is non-verbal he cannot be silenced! He will rock your world! Don’t miss this!

In this episode, Tahni Cullen shares her experience of how God revealed his love and blessing to her through her parenting journey. She has written a book called Josiah’s Fire, in which she recounts the incredible story of hope and God’s love through her autistic son. Tahni lays out how the greatest inheritance we can leave our children is for them to see us receive God’s love, and for them to see that love extended to them. God is not waiting for our performance but desires true relationship and ‘shalom’ for both us and for our children. Tahni talks about how to intentionally pass on God’s Blessing to those around us.Kaylin and Christy’s mission is to strengthen moms to be fully loved and fully free, and to equip them to parent the next generation in this same love and freedom. They desire to fulfill their mission through relevant resources and communication that will encourage moms to experience the full love and acceptance of the Trinity. They define a mom as a woman who has given birth or one who fosters, adopts, or mentors and loves people. https://www.themompodcast.org/

Tahni Cullen tells the story of her young son being diagnosed with non-verbal autism and the stages in her journey when any reason for hope was taken from her. In the face of disappointments, she lays out why hope has become her only choice. When there is often a dichotomy between her actual circumstances and what God promises His children, Tahni shares how choosing to hope and risk disappointment brings her in to an experience of the things God promises are a part of His Kingdom like peace, joy, and life.

RESOURCES:The Message BibleThe Blessing, Gary SmalleyJosiah’s Fire - bookJosiah’s Fire - websiteJosiah’s Fire - facebookSHOW NOTES:“There is a supernatural, cosmic chain… that will literally invoke and create ripples and repercussions throughout the earth that breaks the chains of depression, anxiety, and every kind of circumstance that really seeks to keep us bound and not living the life that is free- that Jesus said He came to give us.” Tahni“Faith is believing for kites to fly when there’s no wind in sight.” Josiah Cullen“God is reaching my child in places I can’t go- to have that level of trust even when it feels like- well why don’t’ you just fix it, why don’t you just fix him? But to realize God’s taking him through a process too… parenting has changed my heart… changed my ideas about God and about myself.” Tahni“I saw in really going through the psalms, David who was honest… ‘I am in a pit… I am being consumed by enemies…’ and he would just keep reaching out.” Tahni“You’ve just described the two sides of the bowling alley lane- lose your ball in this gutter or that gutter or send it down the middle… I’ve got to hear God perfectly or do everything the right way… you better get it right so that God does what you want or what you’re hoping for happens… I’m this pawn in a cosmic chess game and I don’t have much control.” Christy“We know that from the Bible, we love God because he first loved us. But we often teach our kids and raise kids… to love God like it’s our duty… I’ve decided I really want to raise my kids in a way that before I say “let’s praise God”… I want them to just hear me shower them with the truth… I want them to be receivers of love.” Christy“Family and motherhood and parenthood and all of those things- how can we get this right if we’re not able to receive that same kind of fatherly love ourselves?” Tahni“Kids are under so much pressure, so much oppression, bullying, words against them that are tearing down their destiny…and their self-worth. If we don’t fill them up as parents, who is going to? We need to teach them how to receive that (God’s love) and to be a blessing to others.” Tahni“It literally is exuding a blessing that says, ‘I wish well for you: that there is nothing missing, nothing broken in your life- that there would be wholeness and completeness in your life, and in fact let me release to you a blessing that is that which destroys the authority of chaos over your life. That is Shalom.” Tahni“There’s weight behind our words, our names, what we ascribe energy toward, belief toward, so we can be more intentional to realize… the words we’re speaking… they mean something; they stick. And when they are life giving words, do we realize how important those words are… that they are going to mean something and they’re going to stick.” Tahni“A lot of times we see our child’s coat of their circumstance instead of seeing who they really are. I think that can be a block for us to really, truly understand how to speak a blessing, and to see who they truly are… I think a lot of times we start telling them ‘just obey, just do this’ and start shaming them because that’s what we see, instead of seeing their true selves.” Kaylin

That is the journey I had to enter when our son was given the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder: No known cause, no known cure, lifelong. It felt like the gavel came down on all our dreams.” -Tahni“I kept having to look to God for hope and that was a choice most times when I didn’t feel like it. I felt disillusioned and I felt like I was losing everything…” -Tahni“In the professional world, everyone was telling us ‘you need to learn how to cope with what is happening’ and I went to the Bible and asked God to give me some examples and show me how to do this. I couldn’t find one example of coping, just managing around the circumstances you have. Everything was hope. Everything was hope against hope: that even when hope was lost, you still hope!” -Tahni“To choose to hope that God is good, that the future is good, that you can declare and speak life over the situation… to do that is to risk disappointment, but to not hope is to choose disappointment.” -Tahni“To choose to hope, I will make different decisions, I will speak different things, I will declare life instead of just trying to keep from circling the drain. Choosing to hope will change me on the inside, it can change the atmosphere in my home and it can change the context in which my own son will grow up.” -Tahni“How do I live in this dichotomy between the circumstances and storms of life and Jesus who says ‘I came to give you peace’ and calmed storms?”-Tahni“I’m constantly having to go before God and asking ‘Who do you say that I am?’ and also answering the question when God asks me ‘Who do you say that I am?’ Am I able to say “You are the Son of the Living God and You have died to give me the Kingdom”? And if I’m not experiencing joy, peace, righteousness in the realm of the Holy Spirit, which is, as a Christ-follower, something I’ve been promised, then I’m missing something.” -Tahni“If you can find out what your kid’s name means, and if it means something, when you speak their name, you’re speaking the blessing of their name. So I started speaking life over my son by saying ‘Josiah, you are the fire of the Lord, the one who Jehovah heals. Josiah, God is your salvation.’” -Tahni“I would speak life over my son when autism was trying to consume him and our family and it’s still a fight and a battle to keep autism from winning the day. But it doesn’t get to be king.” -Tahni“‘God is a good gift-giver’ became the thesis statement for our lives.” -Tahni
