Sydney, Australia – Graeme Blaiklock, founder of Divine Stream Radio and a successful jeweler Australaian Opal Cutters, has embarked on a remarkable journey that transformed his life and is now guiding millions to the cross through a fast-growing online Christian community platform.
Blaiklock’s life took a pivotal turn after a meeting with Dr. Michael Youssef, founder of Leading The Way Australia. Committed to his faith since age 14, Blaiklock experienced a spiritual revival at 28 after a period of wandering. With a renewed sense of purpose, he began praying for a ministry that was “fair dinkum”—a term reflecting authenticity and sincerity.
In the late 1990s, a chance interaction occurred when Dr. Youssef visited Blaiklock’s jewelry store to purchase an opal. What started as a simple transaction quickly evolved into a profound conversation about faith and ministry. Their discussion revealed an unexpected connection: Blaiklock’s uncle, Professor E.M. Blaiklock, was a well-known theologian whose works had reached Dr. Youssef.
"Dr. Youssef mentioned that he had heard my last name before," Blaiklock recalled. "It turned out he had read my uncle's books, which opened the door to deeper dialogue about faith and community."
This conversation sparked the idea that would lead to the establishment of Leading The Way Australia. Initially hesitant to take on a ministry role due to his background as a jeweler, Blaiklock felt inspired by Dr. Youssef’s vision. With support from the ministry and a generous launch fund of $100,000, Blaiklock took a leap of faith.
Under his leadership, Leading The Way has flourished, reaching over 500 radio stations across Australia and expanding into Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and beyond. More recently, Blaiklock’s vision culminated in the creation of Divine Stream Radio, an online Christian community platform that is now guiding millions toward faith and spiritual growth.
"The spiritual climate in Australia is such that there’s a great falling away," Blaiklock stated. "We need to bring people back to the uncompromised truth of the gospel."
Through Divine Stream Radio and Leading The Way, Blaiklock is dedicated to sharing this truth with clarity and discipline. He envisions a future where the gospel's message transforms society and brings hope to many.
As Divine Stream Radio continues to grow, Blaiklock remains a testament to the power of divine calling and the impact one individual can have on a community. His journey serves as an inspiration, proving that sometimes, a chance encounter can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
