Let’s be honest—churches weren’t called to be social media experts. But in today’s world, if your church isn’t showing up online, you’re missing a huge opportunity to reach people.
That’s where Malakai comes in.
Our Story
Malakai was founded by Joshua Reaves, who grew up in a small church in Chattanooga, TN. Since he was a boy, he watched his father—a dedicated pastor—do everything it took to keep the church thriving. From preaching and counseling to setting up chairs and managing outreach, Josh saw firsthand the challenges small churches face when trying to grow and reach more people.
Josh began experimenting with social media as a way to share biblical truth. He first tested this idea by using gaming content to explain God in Fortnite terms—resulting in over 300 people responding to the Gospel!
That experience proved a powerful truth: context matters. When content is structured for the platform it’s on, it reaches more people, sparks engagement, and leads to real impact. That realization led to the creation of Malakai’s Sermon to Social System—a system designed to help churches effectively communicate their message online without adding more work to an already full plate.
