In today’s episode of The Healthy Christian Leader, Dwight Habermehl sits down with long-time friend and ministry leader Larry Levy for a powerful conversation on the importance of fellowship and camaraderie among Christian leaders. 

Together, they reflect on the loneliness that often accompanies leadership, particularly in pastoral roles, and the deep need for authentic connection. Larry shares how investing in relationships with other leaders—what he calls “fellow soldiers in arms”—has been vital to his spiritual health, longevity in ministry, and personal growth. They discuss the shift from surface-level ministerial gatherings to meaningful, heart-level friendships that sustain leaders through discouragement, temptation, and burnout. 

Larry also recounts how God used moments of intentional outreach—like a simple lunch with a fellow leader—to birth life-giving friendships. Whether in Nova Scotia, across Canada, or around the world, this episode reminds us that we were never meant to lead alone.
