The Meaning Behind the Design
This design by Josh Nadeau aka Sword and Pencil, is a powerful illustration resembling the duty to be a priest, provider, and protector in your community.
This design is shaped like a shield - because that’s what you are to your household and your community.
Framed above by seraphim and below by symbols of sacrificial love, each element reflects a divine calling carried out in everyday life.
Protector stands ready, confronting chaos and shielding others from harm - fighting battles that aren’t always visible.
Provider cultivates beauty from the ground - through service, diligence, and care - sowing what will nourish others long after the labor is done.
Priest lifts hands in the night, standing in the gap through prayer, presence, and intercession - bringing light to dark places.
This piece is a visual reminder of the mantle we carry: to bless God by faithfully showing up for those around us. Not out of striving, but stewardship.
