Christ is your Savior--but can you really figure out and live this Christian life?

If words like discipleship, doctrine, and devotion sound like a secret code, or the Christian life seems unnecessarily complicated, there is good news. Religious teachers and church leaders often create complex systems and multistep programs, but Jesus has a far simpler way: abiding in Him.

Nate Sweeney has devoted his life to teaching the forgotten message of abiding in Christ. He is the Directional Leader of Catalyst Church in Bentonville, Arkansas, and the Founder of The Abiding Network, which has helped train hundreds of church leaders in Christ's principles of discipleship. Nate Sweeney has authored multiple books including The Abiding Church: Creating, Cultivating, and Stewarding a Culture of Discipleship; Abiding at the Feet of Jesus: A Study on the Beatitudes; and Abiding in Identity: Who I Am Because of Whose I Am. Nate, his wife Monica, and their three children are committed as a family to knowing Christ and making Him known.

In this book, Nate Sweeney draws from his rich studies on abiding to show you how to:

- Stay connected to Christ through internal transformation vs. external behavior modification

- Become a self-feeder on God's Word and learn to discern His voice

- Understand the amazing role of the Holy Spirit in guiding and keeping you

- Learn to live in biblical community and accountability

- Choose God's blueprint for your life and discover the joy of knowing Him and making Him known

At the end of each chapter, an application-focused workbook section will help you take what you are learning and incorporate it into your daily discipleship journey.

Whether you are a new believer ready to grow in your faith, a Christian who's grown stagnant or complacent, or a skeptic who is seeking to understand more about what it means to be a Christ-follower, The Abiding Disciple will brush away the cultural myths and carnal misconceptions surrounding the Christian life. Jesus offers you far more than conversion or religion--He is ready to give you a transforming, abiding, joy-filled relationship with Him.
