About Us

We are Echad.

A husband and wife, unified with one God, The Creator. The Almighty. Building and ordering our household under God’s authority, and writing from within that lived obedience. This ministry is not built on personality, platform, or public visibility. It grows out of daily faithfulness in marriage, parenting, work, and ordinary life, where obedience cannot be abstract and belief must be lived.

The word echad means “one.” In Scripture, it does not describe emotional agreement or shared preference. It describes alignment under authority. That kind of oneness begins with God Himself and is then reflected in covenant marriage and the ordered life that flows from it.

Echad Covenant Ministries exists because we became convinced that God has already said what needs to be said, and recorded it all in the Word. We did not start this work to respond to culture, correct trends, or carve out a space for ourselves. We started because Scripture would not leave us alone. It kept pressing responsibility back where God placed it from the beginning: into the home. Obedience, as God describes it, is not abstract. It is lived. It shows up in ordinary days, inside real households, where choices carry weight and faithfulness costs something. Lives that are broken among God’s people come from not living in obedience. It really is that simple.

Unity is not something we announce.
It is something we submit to, through obedience.

A Household-Centered Calling

We did not choose a household-centered focus because it was efficient or appealing. We chose it because God did not offer us another option.

God places responsibility where He intends accountability to live. Fathers are told to teach. Parents are charged with instruction, discipline, and example. These are not ideals to admire. They are commands that must be carried out in real homes by people who cannot pass the responsibility elsewhere. Worship was never meant to be delegated. Discipleship was never meant to be outsourced. Obedience does not belong to institutions, platforms, or personalities. It belongs to the people God placed inside the home.

We did not arrive at this conviction through theory. We arrived through submission. Testing. Refinement. Through learning—sometimes slowly, sometimes painfully—that God’s order does not bend to convenience. It stands whether we obey it or not.

So we write from within a household that is still learning what faithfulness requires. Not as experts. Not as an example to imitate. But as people who discovered that obedience is not an idea to agree with—it is a life you must actually live.

Authorship and Accountability

Our names are Jason and Jennifer, however everything shared here is written under the name J. DiFranco, and that choice is intentional. We do not use a shared name to create distance or recognition. We use it because covenant is not an idea to us. We are husband and wife. We live under the same roof. We answer to one another. We bear responsibility together before God for what is taught here.

We do not speak as separate voices building separate platforms. We speak together, under discipline, knowing that unity is not something you announce. It is something you live out when obedience costs you something.

What is written here does not come from personal authority. It comes from standing under God’s authority, together, and refusing to pretend that faithfulness can be lived independently.

Boundaries and Purpose

We are not stepping into people’s lives as counselors, crisis managers, or private spiritual authorities. That is not our place, and we won’t pretend otherwise. We’ve learned that clarity doesn’t come from constant self-analysis or isolated interpretation. Faith was never meant to be lived alone, and authority was never meant to come from unseen voices online. God placed responsibility close to home, and He tied accountability to real relationships—in households and in local churches.

What happens here is simpler, and heavier.

We teach from our life lessons.
We instruct from the discipline we’ve received through refinement.
We point people back to obedience grounded in God’s Word, not personal experience or emotional insight.

This is not individualized guidance. It is direction given plainly, with the understanding that obedience must be lived where God placed responsibility.

Our Commitments

We stand on God’s Word as our final authority. Not culture. Not preference. Not personal experience. When what God has said confronts us, we yield to it rather than reshaping it to fit our lives. We teach covenant order as God gave it, even when that order runs against what feels familiar or comfortable. We’ve learned that obedience brings life, and we are not free to redefine it when it costs us something.

We pursue repentance and faithfulness because we know how easily hearts drift. We don’t assume maturity. We practice returning—again and again—to what God has said. We honor the household as the first place of worship, discipleship, and responsibility. What happens in the home matters more than what is said publicly.

We’ve chosen to step away from cultural Christianity and spiritual spectacle because we’ve seen what they do. They turn obedience into performance and trade truth for emotion. Whatever good comes from this belongs to God. We don’t take credit for it, and we don’t want it.

To God goes all the glory.
