Back to the Bible has launched BTTB.AI, a free open-source discipleship platform designed to help churches and ministries of any size deliver personalized spiritual growth tools to their people. Built on decades of research through the validated SALT Assessment (Scripture Absorption and Life Transformation)—tested with more than one million people across 26 countries and 20 languages—BTTB.AI moves beyond generic AI chatbots to offer measurable, Scripture-centered discipleship.

The platform delivers daily personalized content, spiritual growth coaching, and practical 4 R’s Action Steps: Receive God’s Word, Reflect on it, Respond by applying it, and Reveal it to someone else. This simple yet powerful framework helps believers build lasting habits of everyday discipleship.
Built on Research, Designed for Real Growth
“The BTTB.AI platform is not a generic AI chatbot applied to ministry,” says Arnie Cole, CEO of Back to the Bible. “It is built on the same discipleship research that has shaped Back to the Bible’s global reach—and it is designed from the ground up to move people along a measurable spiritual growth journey, not just answer questions.”
Cole emphasizes that churches and ministries receive the full code, framework, and research foundation, then customize it for their own communities. The platform remains theologically constrained to Scripture and approved content while scaling to disciple many people simultaneously with personalized recommendations based on validated data rather than guesswork.
Accessible to Every Church
One of BTTB.AI’s greatest strengths is accessibility. The no-code pathway allows ministries without technical teams to create their own AI agents and spiritual journey experiences. Because the platform is open source, the global church can contribute improvements that benefit everyone.
“This resource is accessible to any organization,” Cole says. “The no-code pathway puts daily discipleship within reach of any ministry. Because the platform is open source, the global church community can contribute to making it better for everyone. This is a game-changer for churches and ministries who want to offer resources that will truly help people grow spiritually and lead them into discipleship mindsets.”
Founded in 1939 as a radio ministry, Back to the Bible is now a global leader in digital discipleship, helping people engage with the Bible in more than 180 countries.
Churches and ministries looking for a free, research-based, open-source AI discipleship tool can now access BTTB.AI and begin offering personalized spiritual growth experiences to their communities. By combining proven SALT research with scalable technology, Back to the Bible is equipping the global church to foster deeper Scripture engagement and lasting life transformation.
