The site to frustrate, educate and motivate the church to communicate, with uncompromising clarity, the truth of Jesus Christ

Joshua Cody

Sure, he might have a list of church experiences as long as your arm. But mainly, Josh is a curious guy who believes that church marketing isn't that tough to grasp. It just takes some hard work, critical thinking and an open mind. And he's out to prove it as he writes for Church Marketing Sucks. He resides in Portland, Ore., with his wife, and you can find him writing or posting to Twitter when he's not at his day-job or around here. Or if he's lucky, you'll find him in one of the beautiful parks of Portland.
