01 — Who we are

ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

Turn Back The Battle began not in a boardroom, but in a broken-hearted prayer meeting. In 2019 a small group gathered to lament what they saw: fractured families, confused children, silenced pulpits, and a culture drifting from truth. They opened to Isaiah 28:6 and heard a charge — turn back the battle at the gate. Gates are places of decision. Whoever holds the gate holds the city.

Hands joined in unity prayer

NOT A MOMENT. A MISSION.

We are not a protest. We are a presence. We don’t show up only when headlines rage. We keep the watch — early morning prayer, citywide worship, neighborhood service, school board presence, foster care support, veteran care, prison ministry. Battle by battle, gate by gate, we reclaim ground with humility and holy boldness. No hate. No fear. No retreat.


Our name turnbackthebattle.com on turnbackthebattle.com is a trumpet. Every article, every assembly, every act of mercy says: the tide can turn, the city can be saved, the family can be restored.

WHAT WE CARRY

  • ✦ Conviction without contempt — we love people, confront lies, and bless enemies.
  • ✦ Prayer before policy — intercession is our first strategy, not our last resort.
  • ✦ Courage with compassion — we defend the unborn, the child, the parent, the preacher, the farmer, the soldier.
  • ✦ Unity without uniformity — many churches, one King. Many streams, one river.

02 — What we defend

SEVEN GATES. ONE CHARGE.

Ancient cities were won or lost at the gate. Today our gates are cultural: where laws are made, children are taught, stories are told. We assign every Gatekeeper to a gate — to pray, to serve, to speak, to build.

01

Family Gate

Marriage, parenthood, foster care, fatherhood restoration. Strong homes make strong nations.

02

Church Gate

Bold pulpits, night-and-day prayer, unity of faith. A sleeping church cannot wake a city.

03

Education Gate

Parental rights, truth in curriculum, support for teachers, campus prayer clubs.

04

Government Gate

Pray for leaders, run for office, serve on boards, defend Constitution and conscience.

LIVES TURNED. BATTLES WON.

“I came to protest, I stayed to pray. Our school board meeting started with shouting and ended with fathers praying together. My son saw me kneel — that changed him more than any speech.”

— Marcus D., Father & Gatekeeper, Ohio

06 — Questions

BEFORE YOU ENLIST

What does “turn back the battle” actually mean?

It’s from Isaiah 28:6. Battles are decided at the gate — the place of authority and entry. To turn back the battle means to meet evil early, in prayer and in public, before it enters the city, the school, the home. We don’t wait for collapse; we contend at the entrance.

Do I have to be a pastor or activist to join?

No. Most Gatekeepers are ordinary: truck drivers praying over highways, moms praying over schools, teens leading campus clubs, business owners funding adoptions. If you have a heartbeat and a hometown, you have a gate.

Is this about politics?

We honor all in authority and pray for them, but we are not owned by any party. Our platform is Scripture: life, family, truth, justice, mercy, freedom of conscience. We vote, we serve, we speak — as citizens of heaven first.

What will I actually do weekly?

One hour of united prayer, one act of service, one moment of courage — encourage a teacher, attend a meeting, mentor a kid, feed a veteran. Small obediences turn battles.
