E4 | THE COVENANT

Standing in the Gap: The War Room
Episode 4 | The Covenant

In Episode 4 of Standing in the Gap: The War Room, Host Brandon and Co-Host Mike take a foundational look at covenant and why it matters so deeply in marriage. This episode challenges the cultural view of marriage as a contract driven by feelings and instead anchors it in Scripture as a sacred, binding promise made before God.

Together, they unpack how covenant is not sustained by emotions, circumstances, or mutual effort alone, but by obedience to God. Drawing from Genesis, Malachi, and other key passages, the conversation reveals that marriage was always designed to reflect God’s faithfulness, permanence, and commitment. When covenant is misunderstood, marriage becomes fragile. When covenant is honored, it becomes resilient, even in seasons of separation, betrayal, or silence.

This episode speaks directly to those standing in the gap alone. It affirms that one spouse choosing obedience still matters to God, even when the other has stepped away from the covenant. Brandon and Mike address the tension of waiting, the cost of remaining faithful, and the temptation to give up when outcomes are unclear. Rather than offering false promises of quick restoration, the episode emphasizes faithfulness over results and obedience over control.

Episode 4 reminds listeners that covenant is witnessed and upheld by God Himself. Breaking covenant carries spiritual consequences, but honoring covenant invites God’s presence, protection, and refining work. Standing for marriage is framed not as weakness or denial, but as spiritual strength rooted in trust.

Standing in the Gap: The War Room Episode 4 — The Covenant ultimately calls listeners to examine what they believe about marriage, commitment, and obedience. It challenges standers to remain faithful not because restoration is guaranteed, but because covenant still matters to God.
