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. Nate is the founder and directional leader of The Abiding Network. Nate 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 has become 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.

It is evident, through Nate's ministry, that people are challenged to daily experience God and grow in their relationship with Him while discovering what He has called them to do in life and share His love in practical ways.
