Can Friendship Make You Stronger in Ministry? Elliott Cherry and Michael Keller Talk About Their Friendship

In this warm conversation with Mike Khandjian, Elliott Cherry and Michael Keller reflect on the rare gift of deep friendship in ministry—how it began through shared humor and fast connection, how it grew through honesty, challenge, and repeated time together, and why friendships like this are both costly and indispensable. Along the way, they talk about pastoral loneliness, the freedom of being fully known by someone who can both laugh with you and tell you the truth, and the distinctly Christian hope of seeing Jesus reflected in a friend’s life.
