SID: I’m here with Max Davis. And for those that are not familiar with Max, he is a best-selling author. He’s had 39 books published. He’s got two degrees. When you were a young kid, did you always want to be a journalist?
MAX: No. Actually, I had a 1.5 GPA going into my senior year. If you wanted to punish me, just lock me in the library. I hated reading. I typed one word a minute on one of those old typewriters. But I got radically saved my senior year and I got baptized in the Holy Spirit. And Sid, I’m telling you the truth. I’m driving down the road one day and I hear an audible voice and it was so audible that I answered it. I went, “Whoa, where did that come from?” And now whether someone else could have heard it, I don’t know. It could have been inside me, but it was audible. And it said, “You’re going to write books and they’re going to go all over the world.” Now I was 18 years old. I had no idea what it meant to write or publish. I just knew that God said that.
Well, I had gotten a scholarship to play football at Ole Miss, and I was going to major in PE or coaching, something like that, which is great, fine. But because of that voice, I decided to major in journalism. And I went directly to the Dean of Journalism at Ole Miss, University of Mississippi, and I said, “God’s called me to be a writer.” And he said, “Great, let’s help you facilitate that.” And that’s how it all began.
SID: I’ll tell you something, God is smarter than us.
MAX: He is.
SID: Max, your newest book, you really outdid yourself on this one. It’s called Jesus, Josiah, and Me. And it’s about a young boy, Josiah Cullen. He’s a non-verbal autistic, severely autistic, boy who gets words from Jesus. His mom Tahni was on our show over four years ago, and he supernaturally got a word for you. How could this even happen?
MAX: So I had a writer friend, a mutual writer friend, that had written a book that really touched me. And I called her at about 10 o’clock one morning. And I was just talking to her about her book and what a wonderful writer she was. And she told me she was writing a book with this woman, Tahni Cullen, who had an autistic son that got prophetic messages. That was it. She didn’t ask me for anything. I said, “Bye.” I hung up about 11. She called Tahni right after that and said, “Hey, I talked to this Max Davis guy, blah, blah, blah.” They hung up. During that conversation, Josiah was at school at his autistic school. He didn’t get home until 3:00 that afternoon. He comes home from school. Without talking to Tahni, he begins typing with his one finger into an iPad and Tahni notices that he’s alluding to a person. And she says, “Does this have anything to do with Max?” So—
