About - Guardians of the Covenant

WHO ARE THE GUARDIANS OF THE COVENANT?

Guardians of the Covenant is a group of dedicated Christian men and women devoted to standing or their own marriages as well as others during periods of separation, crisis, or spiritual challenges. We provide prayer support, access to biblical resources, educational opportunities, and a robust sense of community to ensure that individuals honoring their covenants do not endure their struggles in alone. Our mission is to promote family restoration, facilitate healing, and glorify God through each narrative of standing in the gap.

God Qualifies Those He Calls...

By every earthly measure, we are not the obvious choice for this work. We are not professionals in marriage counseling, psychology, therapy, or any field typically associated with restoration. We do not claim expertise, credentials, or authority apart from Christ. What we bring is far simpler, and far more powerful: obedient hearts, surrendered lives, and stories still being written by God.

Scripture reminds us that

| “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong” – 1 Corinthians 1:27.

We stand not because we are qualified, but because God qualifies those He calls. Like so many throughout Scripture, we were met by God in the middle of our own storms and invited to trust Him with the outcome.

We are walking this journey in real time; learning, praying, repenting, growing, and believing God for what only He can do.

| “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord Almighty – Zechariah 4:6.

In our weakness, His strength is made perfect.

In this season, we have chosen to fully trust God and allow the One who makes all things new to work through us. We offer what we have, our lives, our testimony, and our faith, believing that God can use surrendered vessels to bring hope, healing, and truth to a world in desperate need of Jesus Christ.

This is not our story alone. It is God’s work, unfolding in His time, for His glory.

The Genesis of the Guardians of the Covenant

What began as obedience in a season of uncertainty became a step of faith. None of us set out to build a ministry.

We simply responded to the call to stand in the gap for our marriages and to be faithful where God had placed us. As we gathered in prayer, Scripture, and honest conversation, God began to open doors we never planned to walk through.

Scripture reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5–6). Step by step, we followed His leading, often without clarity on what the next step would look like, but confident in Who was guiding us.

There came a moment when we realized that remaining where we were would require less faith than moving forward. Like Peter stepping out of the boat, we felt the Lord saying, “Come” (Matthew 14:29). We did not have all the answers, but we trusted that obedience would be met with provision. “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).

As God continued to grow the community, it became clear that this was bigger than our individual stories. He was forming something purposeful, calling us to guard covenant, contend in prayer, and point others back to His design for marriage. “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19).

We arrived here not by strategy, but by surrender. Not by qualification, but by calling. God took willing hearts in the midst of brokenness and began to build something only He could sustain. “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion” (Philippians 1:6).

This is how we got here, by saying yes to God in the middle of the storm, trusting Him with the outcome, and choosing faith over fear. And as we continue forward, our prayer remains the same: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain” (Psalm 127:1).

OUR MISSION IS OUR PASSION

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

At Guardians of the Covenant, we are devoted to standing with men and women who are walking through marital hardship, spiritual opposition, and seasons of deep uncertainty. We recognize that marriage is a sacred covenant established by God, and when that covenant is attacked, the pain can feel isolating and overwhelming. Our mission is to ensure that no covenant keeper has to stand alone in that battle.

We exist to offer hope, biblical wisdom, and faithful prayer rooted in the unchanging truth of Scripture. Through encouragement, teaching, and intercession, we equip those who are believing God for healing, restoration, and redemption in their marriages. We do not offer quick fixes or empty promises, but point hearts back to trust in God’s power, timing, and faithfulness.

Our ministry is shaped by empathy born from our own battles. We understand the weight of waiting, the ache of unanswered prayers, and the challenge of standing firm when circumstances say otherwise. Because of this, we link arms with you—walking alongside you in faith, perseverance, and obedience—while contending together for God’s purposes to be fulfilled.

As Guardians of the Covenant, we stand watch through prayer, spiritual vigilance, and unwavering commitment to God’s design for marriage. We believe restoration is possible, hope is never lost, and God remains faithful to His promises. Together, we stand in faith, trusting the Lord to bring healing, renewal, and victory as He restores what has been broken and strengthens those who choose to keep the covenant.

OUR VALUES

At Guardians of the Covenant, our ministry is built on the following core values:

Biblical Truth

We stand firmly on Scripture as our foundation, guide, and authority in all matters of faith, marriage, and spiritual warfare.

Compassionate Support
We walk with others through their battles with empathy, understanding, and grace; because many of us are in the fight ourselves.

Prayer & Intercession
We believe prayer changes everything, and we commit to lifting up marriages, families, and standers with faith and persistence.

Spiritual Warfare Readiness

We recognize the reality of spiritual opposition and equip believers with the tools and discernment needed to stand firm.

Community & Unity
We carry one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), building a safe, supportive, Christ-centered community where no one stands alone.

Hope & Restoration
We believe God still restores what seems lost, heals what’s broken, and resurrects what appears dead.

OUR COMMITMENT TO MARRIAGE RESTORATION AND SUPPORT

Guardians of the Covenant exists to stand as a steadfast force for marriage restoration, equipping and supporting individuals who refuse to abandon the covenant God established. We are unwavering in our commitment to encourage faithfulness, spiritual resilience, and obedience to God’s design for marriage—especially in the face of hardship, opposition, and spiritual warfare. Through biblically grounded teaching, intentional community, and persistent prayer, we empower covenant keepers to stand firm in faith, trust God for restoration, and contend boldly for the redemption of their marriages. We do not retreat, compromise, or lose hope; instead, we stand watch as guardians—anchored in Scripture, united in community, and confident in the power of God to restore what has been broken.

ABOUT THE SYMBOL

This emblem is a visual confession of faith. Every element is intentional, rooted in Scripture,
and speaks to covenant, spiritual warfare, and obedience to God in the face of opposition.

The Shield

The shield represents faith and God’s protection over those who stand.

“In addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”
— Ephesians 6:16 (NASB)

In Scripture, a shield is not symbolic of retreat, but of battle readiness. It is raised when arrows are flying. This shield declares that covenant is worth defending and that faith is the primary defense against fear, lies, discouragement, and spiritual attack.

The Cross at the Center

The cross is the foundation and authority of the entire emblem.

“For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 1:18 (NASB)

Placed at the center of the shield, the cross proclaims that all protection, victory, forgiveness, and restoration flow from Christ alone. Covenant is sustained not by human effort, but by the sacrifice and finished work of Jesus.

The Sword

The sword signifies the Word of God and spiritual discernment.

“And take… the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
— Ephesians 6:17 (NASB)

This sword is not raised in anger but positioned in readiness. It represents truth rightly handled, prayer spoken in faith, and obedience aligned with Scripture. It reminds us that this battle is spiritual, not fleshly, and must be fought with God’s truth—not emotion or reaction.

The Open Bible

The open Bible represents God’s Word as final authority.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
— Psalm 119:105 (NASB)

An open Bible declares submission to God’s instruction. It signifies living by truth rather than appearances, anchoring decisions in Scripture, and trusting God’s promises even when circumstances contradict them.

The Covenant Rings

The rings resting on the open Word symbolize marriage as a covenant before God.

“What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
— Mark 10:9 (NASB)

The placement of the rings on the Bible signifies that marriage is upheld by God’s Word—not convenience, emotion, or culture. They represent faithfulness, permanence, and the seriousness of vows made before the Lord.

The Fire and Light

The golden fire and glow represent God’s presence, refinement, and glory.

“For the Lord your God is a consuming fire.”
— Deuteronomy 4:24 (NASB)

Fire in Scripture refines, purifies, and reveals. This light declares that God is active in the battle, present in the waiting, and faithful in the refining process. Even in darkness, His light remains.

The Unified Message

Together, these symbols proclaim one truth:

This is a stand for covenant, defended by faith, fought with God’s Word, and sustained by Christ.

This emblem represents believers who refuse to abandon obedience when it becomes costly—guardians who stand in the gap, trusting God to defend what He Himself has joined together.
