Pastors pour their hearts into Sunday sermons, but what happens after the "Amen"? TAPOS is an AI-powered discipleship platform that transforms your church's sermon archive into a living, searchable resource — trained exclusively on your trusted sources, not the open internet.^1
Upload sermons, podcasts, YouTube playlists, PDFs, and teachings, then let your congregation ask questions, generate study guides, devotionals, and small group content — all drawn from your church's own theological voice. TAPOS calls itself a "tapestry of wisdom" (a blend of "tapestry" and "logos"), weaving together threads of your church's teaching into something accessible anytime, anywhere.^2
What makes TAPOS different from generic AI tools is its "circle of trust" model: answers only come from sources you select. As founder Preston Pope told Deseret News, "Trust is the biggest thing... There is a bottleneck that pastors can't meet with every single congregant every single day at 2 in the morning when they're struggling with anxiety."^3 The platform now publishes a detailed Statement of Faith rooted in historic creedal Christianity, with clear doctrinal boundaries that explicitly guard against false teaching — including a published list of content TAPOS will not host.^4
The platform offers a free tier for churches with no expiration, including sermon upload, AI-powered chat, and congregation access. An Enterprise upgrade adds embeddable website widgets, white-label branding, live engagement analytics ("Community Pulse Reports"), shareable church resources generated with one click, and dedicated support.^5
Why Christians Love It"Because of TAPOS, I have been able to hand off some Discipleship Class responsibilities. A deacon now takes my sermons and generates study guides, devotionals, or thought-provoking questions to lead our Wednesday Night Discipleship Classes through. TAPOS has not only taken a responsibility off my shoulders — it has helped me equip another saint for ministry." — Randy Smith, Senior Pastor^1
"I uploaded some sermons and chose my 'circle of trust.' Then, I asked for a small group guide, and not only did it include what I asked for — like Bible verses, discussion questions, and application ideas — it also added extra steps to help us apply what we learned... I've made study guides with other AI offerings, but this one is the best Bible-based one I've used so far." — Paul M., Lead Team^1
