    About this ebook

    If you're weary of merely acting like a Christian, get ready to start living like one—by abiding at the feet of Christ.

    Jesus invites each of us into a new and better way of life, but His way turns human logic on its head. When you abide in Him, sorrow turns to joy, brokenness leads to vitality, and suffering brings glory.

    Nate Sweeney, Directional Leader of Catalyst Church in Bentonville, Arkansas, and Founder and Directional Leader of The Abiding Network, is passionate about seeing people come to Christ and live in relationship with Him. In this substantive ten-day devotional, Nate will encourage you to draw closer to Jesus and center your life more fully on Him as you learn about and reflect on the biblical Beatitudes from His powerful Sermon on the Mount.

    Abiding Daily serves as both an introduction and a companion to Nate's book Abiding at the Feet of Jesus: A Study on the Beatitudes. Both this devotional and the in-depth study provide biblically grounded guidance in finding the direction you need to walk in true discipleship.

    If you are ready to trade in the exhausting pursuit of an easy life for the soul rest Jesus offers, Abiding Daily will help you discover and experience the power that launched the gospel—the power of abiding in Christ.

      About the Author

      Face.jpg

      Nate Sweeney would be considered an average person, someone who loves his family, community, and church. The major factor that sets him apart is his passion to know Christ and make Him known! This vision is at the forefront of Nate’s daily focus and drives him to stay connected to Christ and share that relationship with others. Nate pursues this vision in his home with his wife, Monica, and their three kids.

      Nate has served in many ministry capacities since he graduated from Bible school in 1997. He is the directional leader of Catalyst Church in Bentonville, Arkansas. He is also the founder and directional leader of The Abiding Network, and he sits on the Influencers Ministry global board as a church relations leader.

      Nate speaks with experience, as he has led his church to be transformed into an Abiding Church, and his role is supported by the great leaders who have been raised up in this church. At the time of this publishing, Nate has mentored, coached, and helped disciple hundreds of church leaders nationally.

      Through Nate’s ministry, people are challenged to experience God daily and grow in their relationship with Him while discovering what He has called them to do in life and sharing His love in practical ways.

      About The Abiding Network

      Nate is the founder and CEO of The Abiding Network.

      The vision of The Abiding Network is to assist leaders in creating environments of discipleship to encourage followers to know Christ and make Him known.

      Our goal is to network individuals, churches, non-profits, and other groups to support their Kingdom calling. We offer a system of biblical accountability, encouragement, relationship building, and resource sharing to assist in their health and long-term success.

      The intent of Abiding Network members should be to unite in the common vision to know Christ and make Him known. We want a unity of the Spirit that celebrates what God is doing in our world today.

      What Others Are Saying

      About Nate Sweeney

      From reviews of Nate Sweeney’s book The Abiding Church on Amazon:

      Nate Sweeney has a Spirit-led passion for the Body of Christ. This book is a must-read for church leaders, lay people, and the church body in general. It is a ministry and word that reminds us, encourages us, and teaches us what abiding in Christ truly means. An inspiring book written from a deeply rooted passion for those called by God to lead the church body.

      A culture of Christianity is just as [much a challenge] for the 21st-century church as any other cultural or political challenges it
