As his voice emerges, he describes not just thoughts—but a deeper reality, including spiritual experiences that are being echoed by others across the country. What makes this story different? A trial lawyer's approach to evidence and credibility Consistent accounts across unrelated individuals A tension between skepticism and faith A call to "always assume competence" This episode explores: What AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) really is How to evaluate extraordinary claims responsibly The mystery of "the hill" The intersection of faith, disability, and purpose Why this conversation is happening right now This is not just a story. It's a conversation starter for believers, skeptics, and truth-seekers alike. Follow the Guest: Joseph P.
