Looking for social media that actually builds your faith instead of draining it? SOTE.life — short for "Salt of the Earth" — is a Christ-centered video platform where believers share uplifting short-form content, follow faith-based creators, and scroll a feed curated for encouragement rather than outrage.^1
Beyond videos, SOTE.life includes a built-in Christian news aggregator called SOTE.report, updated throughout the day with headlines from trusted Christian sources. The app also features Daily Habits tools — a prayer tracker with reminders and a gratitude journal — helping users build consistent spiritual rhythms right from their phone.^2
SOTE.life is backed by the Church Budget Envelope and Mailing Company, a family-run business that has served churches since 1917 and today partners with over 15,000 congregations. President Brooke Pidgeon has said she believes the app "is exactly what our culture, and specifically our faith community, is craving... with young Christians in mind, it offers daily reminders of our first allegiance to God our Father and our Lord Jesus."^3

"I never thought it was possible to find a religious social media app with amazing community and content... The platform's commitment to integrating biblical values creates a unique and uplifting community."^2
