From Barrier to Breakthrough: Finding God in Our Wondering, Wandering, and Wounding became an Amazon best-seller and has already impacted countless lives through testimonies of spiritual renewal and healing. A second book, Truth Talk for Hurting Hearts, co-authored with Dawn Wilson, provides encouragement to those walking through trials and suffering. In addition, our flagship Bible study Flourish continues to bear fruit in churches across the country, with over 1,200 workbooks sold to date. An idea for a new seasonal resource, Prepare Him Room, an Advent card set is underway, designed to draw individuals and families closer to Christ during Christmas.Resource distribution has grown to over 1,250 resource orders to date, shipped to 49 states and 3 countries, a figure that does not include the many books and materials sold at conferences and live events. The daily Truth Talk devotional now reaches 16,500 subscribers by email, an increase of 50 percent over the prior year. Through print and digital resources, Discovering Truth Ministries continues to place Bible-rich tools for daily encouragement and discipleship into the hands of thousands. 43169 Radio and Digital Ministry:The ministry's one-minute Truth Talk radio segments continue to air internationally in three countries, providing concise biblical encouragement to a broad listening audience. The ministry's digital reach expanded significantly during the year. It now has 20,000 people subscribed to ministry update emails, a Facebook following that grew to 9,748 (a 30 percent increase), and an Instagram following that grew to 2,190. Discovering Truth Ministries has also been posting regularly to its YouTube channel, where each new video averages more than 900 views within the first week. Ongoing production and distribution of video and audio resources round out the ministry's growing digital presence. 20145 Conferences and Speaking Engagements:Live teaching and speaking remain central to the ministry's work. During the filing year, founder Jamie Adele Wood spoke 15 times, spanning both the East and West coasts of the United States, reaching women through conferences, Bible studies, and special events. She also continued teaching a weekly Wednesday evening Bible study at her home church, which launched with 240 members. The ministry operates from its headquarters in Santee, California, with 6 paid staff and 14 regular volunteers, including a 6-person monthly in-office prayer team. Testimonies from participants consistently point to the impact of these gatherings, where biblical truth is communicated with clarity, encouragement, and practical application.Through these avenues, Discovering Truth Ministries has seen 86 women make first-time commitments to follow Jesus during the year, and those are only the decisions the ministry is aware of. Founder Jamie Adele Wood was also invited by nationally recognized women's ministry leader Nancy DeMoss to join a small group of emerging speakers and teachers at the annual Revive Our Hearts conference, an opportunity for mentorship and collaboration on how to serve women well in today's culture. The combination of published resources, radio and digital ministry, and in-person teaching continues to fulfill the organization's mission of helping others learn, love, and live out God's Word. 287794 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 2 true false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true false false CA X X X Jame Adele Wood 6196634218 2514 Jamacha Rd 502-72 El Cajon CA 92019 Jamie Adele Wood President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 82511 0 0 Jeff Wood COO 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 82511 0 false false false 0 24552 263872 288424 0 5607 5607 0 0 0 0 24552 0 0 32831 11341 21490 21490 0 315521 27097 X 0 0 0 0 82611 79307 826 2478 0 75732 53013 18933 3786 0 0 13308 11844 932 532 0 100 100 4955 2477 496 1982 0 0 0 0 0 1559 1403 156 0 0 0 1340 1340 0 0 0 0 4636 3850 344 442 5432 4889 381 162 Digital Ministry 62216 62216 Rent Expense 24582 20895 2458 1229 Product Development Costs 16627 16627 Fundraising Appeals 14307 4292 10015 39135 25641 1082 12412 346540 287794 25708 33038 251991 241689 0 0 27001 16739 0 0 0 50722 39404 0 57202 7234 48244 49968 0 0 0 0 0 377958 347800 861 0 861 X 377958 346939 377958 346939 377958 347800 -31019 X false false false X 167003 209709 240725 236287 288424 1142148 0 0 0 0 167003 209709 240725 236287 288424 1142148 0 0 1142148 107 182 3293 4825 5607 14014 0 107 182 3293 4825 5607 14014 0 3935 23243 22945 27394 32830 110347 171045 233134 266963 268506 326861 1266509 0.90180 0.91710 0.01110 0.00810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 43375 2321 41054 11981 4197 7784 1846 716 1130 49968 X X X X X false CA Major Donor Event - November 2025 24552 24552 24552 24552 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 The organization's CEO and COO are husband and wife.
