Most church communicators aren't struggling because they lack talent or care.

I've had the privilege of working directly with Josh King on two major capital giving initiatives. What struck me then, and what comes through on every page of The Church Communicator's Playbook, is that Josh never treats communication as separate from ministry — he treats it as ministry itself.… with a rare gift for taking something complicated, a campaign message, a vision cast from the pulpit, and making it clear, compelling, and true to who the church actually is. Josh has turned what he learned in the trenches into a real playbook: frameworks like the Communicator's Trifecta and Own/Influence/Support that give a solo communicator the same clarity a large church staff would have. This is a book written by a practitioner for practitioners, and I recommend it to any church leader who wants their team to move from reactive to trusted. Read more

I had the privilege of working under Josh at Perimeter Church, where building a communications strategy is no small challenge. He didn't just design the strategy; he implemented and led it with rare professionalism.… Josh is theologically grounded and keeps the mission of the church at the center of the work, even as that mission now faces a communications landscape changing faster than ever, with tools like AI reshaping what a small team can accomplish.

Josh was a joy to work with, and if what we received from 24 hours as a consultant was any indication, this book will be a must-read for anyone seeking to strengthen their ministry through better communication.… He visited our church as a consultant during a season of staff transitions in our Media and Communications roles, right as we were planning a major overhaul of our logo, branding, and website. Despite his experience and expertise, Josh is humble and approachable, spending most of his time asking questions and seeking to understand our situation, our strengths, and our frustration points. He then did an incredible job synthesizing it all into an accurate, unbiased summary of our strengths and weaknesses, paired with highly practical next steps for each area. We were able to move forward with far greater clarity and confidence because of his feedback. Read more
