It’s been a long time since my last proper update here on the blog. Jesus and I have had a busy (even busier than usual) few years. It’s impossible to fill you in on everything we’ve been doing in detail but in this update I’ll aim to give a summary.
We are about to start our next series of international events, this year starting in Vancouver. If you are planning to join us, we are looking forward to seeing you.
Over these past few years we’ve held quite a few international and local events and it has been our sincere pleasure to meet many of you for the first time and to reconnect with those who we have known for a long time but not seen. Whether we meet you once or many times, I feel a kinship with my fellow seekers of truth on the Earth (and in the Universe at large).
Truth seekers aren’t always welcomed and sometimes get lost or disheartened. But I’ve come to feel that God treasures that quality in each of us that keeps us searching, learning and longing for the certainty and expansiveness that only Truth can bring. I wish you so very well on your personal journeys.
Our Gratitude & Our Personal Situation
Thank you to all of you who have donated to Divine Truth over the past few years and to those who regularly donate to us and to Divine Truth. Your contributions create opportunities for us to share Divine Truth. We are grateful.
All of the Divine Truth projects I will outline below have been funded by your donations. These past few years I’ve been reflecting on the fact that those of you who donate, are really donating to each other. Your contributions enable us to do the next event, take the next flight, share the truth with the next person. And all of the technical gear that Divine Truth purchases and the power bills the company pays to run the servers, enables the material to be edited and heard by the person who can’t come to event but can watch or hear it online.
I realize that many of those who do not know us well may not be aware of how Jesus and I physically live. We currently live in a small two bedroom home and drive a 20 year old vehicle (which we purchased, second hand, not long after we met). From Divine Truth we are each paid a small salary (at or just below Australian minimum wage). We employ a number of people to help on Divine Truth construction and to help us with our home maintenance. We pay these people more than we do ourselves.
Our salaries service our groceries and utilities bills. Any other personal funds we have are used in much the same way that Divine Truth funds are used – to create and support the physical frameworks we need in order to share spiritual truth.
Recently, we have realized the need to upgrade and update some of our personal circumstances so that we can continue to travel with ease and so that we can donate our current home (which sits adjacent to the Divine Truth studio) to serve as office space for both God’s Way Ltd and Divine Truth. This means constructing another living space where Jesus and I can reside.
I’ll explain more about those plans and how we are going with them below.
This year, for the first time in many years, we have also decided to spend some of our funds on a having personal holiday. We plan to spend a week in a nice apartment on the Sunshine Coast after we return from our overseas trip in October.
So again, we thank you for your contributions that enable Divine Truth to operate and that allow our modest, yet satisfying, lifestyle.
Divine Truth Projects
2026 Travel Plans – God’s Law of Change Tour
This year, we had plans to complete another long around the world trip, with visits to Portugal, England, Canada and the USA. However world events, project demands at home, our finances and our need to take better care of ourselves while traveling caused us to reconsider. We had almost decided to stay home in 2026 and not return to overseas events until 2027.
However, our spirit friends encouraged us to travel now, as in the coming years it may be more difficult for people to travel within Europe and around the world.
We have also been invited to hold events in Brazil, Sweden and in South Africa and we would like to make space in our calendar in the coming years to do those events (finances permitting). So, this year we decided on an abbreviated trip to hold events in the United Kingdom (allowing Europeans to attend) and in Canada (allowing any North Americans to attend).
We are about to hold events in both continents and hopefully at least one event accessible to all of you in the Northern Hemisphere.
Please note: our spirit friends have warned us that we may not be able to travel to America or Europe for a few years, depending on geo politics and general societal conditions.
In this year’s programme, we’ve included events that cover some of the fundamental truths of the Universe. Our intention is that anyone new to Divine Truth teachings can attend and receive a good grounding in the Truth. However, if you have been listening to Divine Truth for some years, we still feel that you will enjoy and benefit from these events which are entitled ‘God’s Universal Truth with Jesus’.
This year, as we did last year, we will give away sets of Padgett Messages (4 books in a set) to any participant or participant’s friend who would like to receive one. These books are a wonderful source of truthful, channeled material which can assist the reader to stay connected to their Divine Love spirit guides and to learn more of God’s Truth.

World Tours 2024/2026
In 2024 & 2025, Jesus and I spent four months of the year overseas. As I mentioned above, it was our great pleasure to meet so many of you for the first time. And, of course, to see those of you who we have known for many years again.
These years were busy and quite tiring.
In 2024, before the trip, Jesus researched, designed, purchased and built a very portable system that enabled us to create good sound recordings of each event we held. This took a long time and a lot of effort. I was very proud that, in the end, he put together a compact set up that worked well in every location; not only to transmit the sound through speakers so that those present could listen and participate at the talks easily but also created audio files that are much more easily edited for sharing. (More about Divine Truth production and sharing plans below).
At the same time, we had to find venues, accommodation, vehicles and speaker hire etc and coordinate flights in nine new locations around the world. Writing about this now, I am amazed that our little team of two pulled this off in 6 months. We did this all while simultaneously running God’s Way Ltd projects, and Jesus maintaining all of the IT network for both organizations and teaching spiritual truth with participants of God’s Way activities multiple times per week.
So, after our six months of preparation, we presented 33 formal teaching days (not including informal or social gatherings) in seven different locations over 4 months.
Our general philosophy towards international travel is that, if we are going so far, and using so many fossil fuels to get there, we want to maximize the opportunities for everyone in the region to hear God’s Truth. This is why in 2024, we scheduled so many events in so many locations.
However, each time we change locations while we are away, it is necessary to take a flight with all of the affiliated security and customs procedures, check in and check out of accommodation, grocery shop etc. We must do all of that and still be rested and energetic to present and channel at the next event. In 2024, we usually did all of this travel between weekend events held in different countries! By the end of the trip, we were far less energetic!
Some quick stats on our 2024 trip
| Length | 124 days (4 months) |
| Countries Visited | 7 countries (Austria, Belgium, UK, Ireland, Portugal, Canada, USA – East & West costs) |
| Flights taken | 12 |
| Accommodations | 10 |
| New Venues | 10 |
| Events Held | 12 |
| Number of Days Presenting | 39 days (Not including informal teaching and social gatherings) |
In addition to all of the physical demands of this trip, there was quite a bit of spirit pressure on us as we were starting sharing again in earnest and also meeting new audiences.
We were also stopped in Ireland at the US border control (based in Dublin) and refused our flight to Canada via the USA because we were traveling with high value tech gear. We didn’t know at the time, but carrying a high value technical equipment used in business requires an ATA Carnet. And, unfortunately, it is impossible to get a Carnet once you are outside of your home country (they are issued by local Chambers of Commerce in each nation). So, what ensued was A LOT of trying to figure out how to get us and the gear, firstly to Canada and then in and out of the USA.
We had to purchase a new flight to Canada, and then we had to freight (and pay customs duties) the gear into the USA.
We arrived home quite tired and there was little time for rest as projects within God’s Way Ltd required our attention as soon as we were home (more on God’s Way projects and involvement later).
We also began planning the next trip almost immediately.
2025 Travel
After having success with the new audio set up, Jesus decided it was time to expand our capabilities to videoing events.
So began another long research project. Ultimately, four sets of video cameras were purchased and trialed with the criteria being affordability, compact and lightweight (to fit into baggage and stay under weight requirements), and of course, picture quality.
Jesus finally found some Panasonic cameras that best met our needs and we could send some of the other trialed camera set ups back to their distributors (although we were unfairly hit by a US customs charge returning one of the sets).
Having found cameras, it was then necessary to design how all of the equipment could be set up in (all new) venues and that would enable audio and video equipment to work in unison, recording simultaneously.
Jesus designed custom camera mounts to fit on speaker stands which were purchased internationally and shipped to friends in each location that talks would be held. Cornelius helped out by building the mounts and working with Jesus to refine the prototypes. Once the mounts were built they were shipped, along with necessary cables and monitors (too bulky and heavy for us to carry) that were required at each event.
We also arranged for whiteboards and other ancillary gear to be sent to the various locations.
Our goal for future years is to visit locations in each continent around the globe and hold events there without the need for too much logistical planning and preparation each time. In order to make that possible in future years, we have put in a lot of work over the past three:
- Creating a portable, effective sound and video recording set up that Jesus and I can travel with
- Sending or purchasing standardized gear that easily links into our portable set up to a number of locations around the world
- Searching for venues in each of these locations that we can use in the future years so it isn’t necessary to search for a suitable venue each time we plan a trip
I want to acknowledge the enormous amount of work that Jesus put into research and designing the travel set up. I am moved by how dedicated he is to giving every audience, and God’s Truth itself, the respect that they deserve.
Over the past three years, he spent countless hours carefully considering and researching what would best suit our needs, and even more hours testing, updating, and preparing all of the tech gear that we used and will continue to use. He not only researches every piece of kit thoroughly, he handles the purchase, the intake checks, he updates firmware, he splices cable, he knows and understands every fitting, every screw, tool, camera, switcher, microphone. It is actually difficult for me to itemize all of the tasks he undertook to make our overseas events and their recording happen.
Jesus has always worked incredibly hard but over the past couple of years I have seen him dedicate himself daily to the expansion of our capabilities in both Divine Truth and God’s Way Ltd. He gives his whole – body, heart and will – to everything he does. I see that this is how he knows God so well. He has given his all, and continues to give it, to his progress and his love of God. It is an example to me of the strength our human will, and the power of love to fuel our endeavors.
We receive the gifts of his dedication, as he shares the fruits of that first love – his longing for God – with each of us.
He does so much that we each may come to know God and benefit in the ways that he has benefited in that relationship. And the work that Jesus put into our tech set up and travel arrangements is just one example of his love in action.
In 2025, we also decided that we wanted to be able to gift participants with copies of the Padgett Messages. The messages provide people with material to read in their quiet and prayerful times and when they do, they attract our Celestial friends to help inspire them and highlight truth.
I worked with Karen from the Church of the New Birth who helped us to purchase the books at cost price and have them shipped around the world. The books are printed through Amazon’s KDP service for self publishing and unfortunately there were some issues with the quality of the printing in a number of locations. Karen worked with me to try to resolve all of that as well. (more about Padgett plans below). Thank you Karen.
After the hectic-ness of our 2024 trip, in 2025 we decided that we wanted the chance to ‘hang out’ with more of you and so we introduced a new type of event. In each location, we set aside a day or more to get outside, have a walk and a talk with participants. This was a lovely thing that we enjoyed.

Special Thank Yous
I can’t mention all of the work that goes into our overseas trips without thanking our overseas friends who helped with finding suitable venues, loaning us their vehicles (and blenders!), receiving, checking and storing gear, helping with the logistics for equipment hire and transport and even, in some cases, loaning us their homes to stay in.
Some people created gifts for fellow participants at our events.
To all those people, along with any others who helped prepare and clean venues before and after our events, we thank you not only for your physical efforts but also for your desire to help others receive the gift of Divine Truth.
Local Seminars
Over the past couple of years we have held a number of seminars in our local town hall of Murgon. After searching and visiting so many overseas venues lately, we are very grateful to have such a suitable and affordable venue nearby!
It was wonderful to see some people we hadn’t seen in a while at these events.
The local events were also a great opportunity to test out the travel tech gear at a live event.
Studio Sessions
In 2025, after returning from our overseas trip, we decided to clear out the Divine Truth studio and set it up for public events. We had spend many years having informal talks with God’s Way Ltd activity participants in our home living room and on our home patio but this had become very crowded. We wanted to have a space that could hold more people, more comfortably, and where we could create good sound and video recordings. We also wanted to be able to offer spaces to people not regularly involved with God’s Way.
The studio had previously been used for interviews and mediumship (most of the videos on our YouTube channel with just Jesus and I in them were recorded in the Divine Truth studio). The adjoining rooms to the studio also house all of the data servers for God’s Way Ltd & Divine Truth, along with a number of work stations used for audio and video editing.
Since 2019, the space had become a little untidy as Jesus had had to complete a major overhaul and rebuild of some of the servers, and so much gear was purchased, tested and prepared for the overseas events. There wasn’t always time to tidy up one job before the next one started.
So, with the help of Phoebe and Eloisa, we undertook a major clear out and reorganize of the studio. We labelled and stored all kinds of equipment. It was a massive job that took about 3 months. Once everything was cleared out, we were able to set up around 50 chairs (gifted by Di Livingstone) and Jesus set up sound and video recording in the space.
It has been a great pleasure to welcome people to our humble studio which many have said is a very comfortable space for learning and reflecting. Jesus’ recent talks on Morality have been particularly engaging.
Divine Truth Production & Sharing
For a long time, Jesus and I have been the only two people able to edit Divine Truth material and, as I’ve shared in prior updates, in recent years we’ve felt the need to prioritize other tasks.
We know that in-person teaching is the most powerful way to hear God’s Truth and so in 2024 and 2025, we wanted to offer that opportunity to more people world wide. We placed this as a priority over the production of video and audio files despite the large backlog of material that remains unedited.
As I outlined above, Jesus worked on improving our audio and video set up knowing that once we had time for editing and/or we had helpers for these tasks, the task would become easier.
Over the past couple of years, a number of sincere people expressed an interest in helping us to edit audio and video files. So, over the past 18 months, Jesus spent quite a bit of time training those people in the necessary skills and Divine Truth editing procedures.
Unfortunately, other limiting factors, such as living overseas have limited a couple of those people from continuing this work for now. However, Eloisa and Phoebe remain and are now working on editing the audio and video of the most recent studio presentations on morality (in between all of their other work in God’s Way Ltd).
They share our passion for having more people learn Divine Truth and they will continue to work on editing, along with their other considerable workload as God’s Way Ltd directors, for the rest of this year.
Website Upgrade
As I have mentioned in prior updates, the new and updated Divine Truth website is still under construction.
Due to Kate’s passing, the project has been on hold for some time. While Jesus is capable of completing it, he has not had time recently.
Padgett Messages
We have plans to publish our own set of the Padgett Messages.
Dr Leslie Stone, who was a friend of Padgett, often present when the messages were received, was responsible for compiling most of the messages and creating the first publications of them after Padgett’s death. He typed many of original automatic writings and compiled the first two volumes of the four volume sets we have been gifting to participants. We owe him a debt of great gratitude. His solitary labors after the passing of his friend means that the messages are still available on Earth today.
Our project aims to preserve the desires of Dr Stone and present all of Padgett’s messages thematically in more than four volumes.
A small group of volunteers here in Wilkesdale has already been working on compiling a glossary and an index of references to accompany each volume of messages.
In 2027, Jesus and I plan to dedicate some time to creating a template for the books and placing the Padgett Messages into manuscripts which can be published in Australia and also sent around the world so that they can be published in local communities near to the events that we hold overseas.
God’s Way Ltd
God’s Way Ltd, the not for profit company that Jesus and I founded with Eloisa Sparks continues to grow and expand. Jesus and I are heavily involved in every aspect of the company operations.
Company Directorship
You may remember from a previous update that Jesus and I stepped down as company directors shortly before our overseas trip in 2024. At that time, Cornelius and Phoebe Bruce took on directorship, alongside Eloisa Sparks who has been a director since the company’s inception.
While we were still involved in all major company decisions and Jesus remained in charge of all project planning, we wanted Cornelius and Phoebe to gain experience in leading the company and taking responsibility for day-to-day decision making.
The directorship changed again in November 2025, with Cornelius being removed as a director and Jesus and I rejoining the board. The main reason for Cornelius’ removal was that he was allowing his lack of spiritual development to interfere with essential company operations and to negatively influence the entire director team’s decision making.
He was also removed as a member of God’s Way as he was no longer in harmony with the company constitution which requires all members to desire and actively engage with living by God’s Principles in all situations.
Every person of the 14 is under a lot of spirit pressure to work against God’s Desires for the Earth. As with each of the 14, Cornelius receives threats from the spirit world whenever he considers acting towards his true soul desires or embracing his personality. Hence, one of the greatest initial challenges for a person of the 14 is to become humble to our fears and terrors.
Jesus has been giving Cornelius a lot of wise council before, during and since Cornelius’ removal as director in order to assist him with the spirit influences he is under. Corny has now met his soulmate and along with that meeting there has been an increased amount of pressure upon him. Because of his desire to remain stoic to his emotions he has struggled dealing with it.
He remains a paid contractor for Divine Truth and has been working under Jesus’ management.
Eloisa and Phoebe, our fellow board members, have been growing in their roles as directors and we feel confident leaving the company in their hands while we travel this year.
God’s Way Projects
For updates on God’s Way operations, I recommend checking out the regular God’s Way Ltd updates: https://blog.godsway.net/blog/
Jesus and I are very involved in the planning, implementation and documentation of the projects outlined in the God’s Way Ltd quarterly updates.
One of the major projects that has been underway over the past few years (and that has taken a large amount of Jesus’ time) is the development and implementation of a large water storage facility on 71 O’Dea Road. This water will service the studio, God’s Way & Divine Truth office workers and a new toilet block for event participants, and the other dwellings on the property.
As we published on the God’s Way Ltd blog:
Humans need water to survive. It is therefore an act of self-responsibility to ensure that the organization implements systems to store and supply good quality water. In addition, while other locations in Australia and around the world can rely on municipal water supplies, in our rural location all drinking, irrigation, and general household water must be harvested on site.
Therefore, it is essential that any water supply created, is secure, clean, and has minimal risk of damage or loss. The purpose of the Water Collection project is to create a rainwater source that will last for a minimum of 50-100 years.
It has also been an excellent opportunity for:
- Jesus to design, experiment and develop systems for rain water harvesting, filtration, storage and deliver (essential knowledge for all future God’s Way Ltd projects around the world)
- God’s Way Ltd personnel to gain experience in construction, project management, water storage, filtration and plumbing techniques
- God’s Way members past and present to learn valuable spiritual lessons
The water project has experienced significant delays due to some spiritual issues within the team. This blog post gives a great breakdown of how God’s Way is learning from our mistakes: Water Collection Project Update
Building Projects/Personal Projects
Personal Living Situation/Cabin Build
Jesus and I plan to donate our current modest home (86.4 square metres) to become a God’s Way Ltd office. In order for this to happen we have begun works on two small cabins at the back of our property. The sites and part of the frame for these cabins come from the eco tent structures that once stood at the back of the property and were used as a bedroom and visitor accommodation.
Our plans to convert these spaces into cabins have evolved over time. Jesus has spent many hours designing, extending, redesigning and shrinking the potential structures. Finally, we landed on two very functional designs and very initial works have begun. These constructions are on hold at present while the water project is completed.
I will post more about this work in future updates.
In Closing
As our world becomes saturated with AI content, and curated images of what a ‘perfect’ body, face or life should look like, it can seem as though truth and authenticity have been devalued and that computer algorithms are destined to run the world.
But truth will always appeal to the soul, it will always foster love – just as love fosters truth. Aside from leaving the internet alone as much as possible, and not engaging with AI content, I’ve been reflecting on the most powerful ways we have to champion truth in the world.
I see two opportunities available to each of us everyday:
- To experience the truth of our current emotional condition, &
- To seek the experience and expression of our unique personalities and natures
Experiencing the truth of our current emotional condition, rather than remaining in states of stoicism (the judgement of emotion, gentleness, innocence and truth) or facade (the desire to maintain a fantasy version of ourselves to ourselves and others), frees us to become more sensitive to our true natures.
We can be bold, and cast aside messages of fear in our expression of ourselves, always aspiring towards those 5 principles that Jesus introduced in the 2016 Assistance Group: Developing My Will to Love – Love, Truth, Faith, Emotion (Humility) & Action (in harmony with the first 4 principles).
God’s Laws dictate that we can never be happy unless we express and experience our unique personalities – and that ultimate happiness is to seek God’s Love and allow that Love to imbue our self expression; so that our uniqueness is is potent in its creativity and its exuberance. When we feel how beloved and cherished that uniqueness is by God, we experience freedom in ourselves and cherish the uniqueness in those around us. This, to me, is the true antidote to Artificial Intelligence and computer algorithms—honoring the power and beauty of the human soul; taking the opportunities to be our truthful selves, and loving that process in others.
If we see you on the road over the new few months, or back in Wilkesdale in November (we have a full programme in November which I’ll update you on in my next post) I look forward to the opportunity to see you and know you.
With love, until next time,
Mary & Jesus
Notes Along The Way
