Cherise Franklin

Cherise Franklin is a writer, author, and co-pastor of Free Chapel, a multi-campus church with a global reach led by her husband, the renowned pastor Jentezen Franklin. Throughout her ministry, Cherise has been a prominent leader in women’s ministry, serving as the host and visionary behind the annual Divine Conference, an event designed to inspire, challenge, and empower women and young girls.

She is the co-author, alongside her husband, of the bestselling book Love Like You’ve Never Been Hurt, a deeply personal project in which the Franklins open up about their own family dynamics to discuss relational wounds, forgiveness, and the power of keeping an open heart despite disappointment.

In addition to her leadership at Free Chapel and her work developing biblical study resources, Cherise is an active digital content creator and an influential voice on social media, where she regularly shares devotionals and prayers. She and her husband reside in Gainesville, Georgia, and they are the parents of five children and grandparents to several grandchildren.
