Rediscovering Friendship (Discover the Word)

What if Jesus’ closest friends weren’t actually his twelve disciples?

What if there was group of three that he loved with an affection unlike the others, who could speak to him with a forthrightness no one else dared, who could beckon him in their ‘2am crisis moments’ without even mentioning their names, and who he regularly partied with? Want to guess who I’m talking about?

I loved joining this conversation with Our Daily Bread Ministries’ Discover the Word team – Bill Crowder, Elisa Morgan and Rasool Berry – to explore this overlooked friendship and what we can learn from it. This series aired on US radio stations in March 2026, reaching over 1 million listeners, and you can hear the full 1 hour chat below. Listen in as we explore the friendship secrets of Jesus’ other close group of friends.
