What iDisciple does

iDisciple is a faith-based digital content platform operated by BN Media, LLC (a Utah-domiciled private LLC) as part of the broader Radiant Digital network of Christian media brands that includes Beliefnet, Family Christian, Bible Minute, Patheos, and Family Today. The platform aggregates curated Christian multimedia content — devotionals, articles, sermons, videos, talk radio, and Bible study modules — from over 300 authors, speakers, and ministries, and delivers a personalized daily homepage experience through native iOS and Android applications (distributed via iTunes and Google Play), a web platform at idisciple.org, and a daily email newsletter featuring the verse of the day. Core product features include structured Bible Study Guides (book-by-book and topical), Growth Plans (multi-lesson devotional series), the interactive Scripture Wheel, 6 in-app Bible translations and 4 audio Bibles available to all users, and 9 talk radio channels reserved for premium subscribers.

The platform runs a freemium business model: free accounts receive unlimited Bible access plus 3 pieces of content per day, while a premium subscription unlocks unlimited content and the radio feature at $6.99/month or $59.99/year, with a 7-day risk-free trial. Secondary revenue comes from advertising and sponsorship within the Radiant Digital network (sponsored content, native storytelling, email newsletter sponsorships, lead generation, and display advertising aimed at faith-based advertisers), as well as from facilitating user donations to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations through a Giving Account sourced in partnership with Family Christian Ministry, which acts as the tax-recipient nonprofit for passthrough contributions.

iDisciple targets a horizontal segment of individual Christian believers spanning general faith consumers, families and couples, ministry leaders and pastors, women, and the emerging generation — each addressed via dedicated content categories (Marriage, Parenting, Leadership, Women, Purpose, Bible, Life Challenges, Adoption & Foster Care, etc.). The company is private with 11-50 employees, no disclosed venture or institutional funding, no public ticker, and no management team disclosures in the available data, and is restricted to U.S. residents per its terms of service. Operational signals (active customer service, current content updates, multi-platform distribution) indicate an ongoing operating business.
