Experience the Grand and Abundant Life

Abide Ministries is not a Bible study. We show you how to hear, be led by, and experience God every day. Abiding in the Vine is a life of walking daily with the living God.

John 10:10 “…I came that they may have life and have it abundantly”
John 15:4 “…Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit”

Our Values

Led by God

At Abide Ministries, we believe in being divinely directed through every aspect of life, yielding to God's calling and daily instruction.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
 ~Psalm 32:8

The Word Is Truth

We emphasize and adhere to the foundational belief that the Bible is the ultimate source of truth and guidance. We commit to scripture as the authoritative word of God, which provides direction, correction, and clarity for life’s journey.
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. ~Psalm 119:105

Live an abundant Grand Life

We believe in the promise of a life that’s not just about surviving, but thriving in the richness of spiritual abundance. This is the quality of life experienced when one is deeply rooted in God’s plans, surrounded by a supportive community, and continuously nourished by encounters with the Divine.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. ~Colossians 3:17

Find Joy in Everything

We believe that even in the midst of challenges, trials, or mundane tasks, there's exceptional joy to be found in Christ. Rooted in our identity in Christ and understanding that joy is a fruit of the Spirit and not merely the result of favorable circumstances, we recognize blessings, end supersaturallo in every situation.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
 ~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Founders

Rich and Linda

Two decades ago, Rich and Linda Case received a call from God to dig into what it means to truly live in the Spirit. They had been believers for most of their lives and regularly attended church and Bible studies, but began to realize that, despite knowing the Bible intellectually, their personal experiences seemed disconnected from the promises and truths found in scripture.

Rich and Linda Case

Two decades ago, Rich and Linda Case received a call from God to dig into what it means to truly live in the Spirit. They had been believers for most of their lives and regularly attended church and Bible studies, but began to realize that, despite knowing the Bible intellectually, their personal experiences seemed disconnected from the promises and truths found in scripture.

As they wrestled with this, God sent people into their lives that taught them about hearing God’s voice, following His will, and abiding in the Vine.

As they then learned these essential truths through their abiding and hearing God’s voice – and began to see the grand life play out in their lives, God called them to give it away. In 2001. God initiated the ABIDE ministry at a retreat with friends in Austria, and through their personal experience of this abiding life, their friends noticed the change in their lives, and inquired if Rich & Linda could host a similar retreat the following year – this was repeated three years in a row, and then God called them to hosting weekend retreats in their home in Colorado.

Through the formal development of the truths revealed by God with Abiding and additional electives, they founded All for Jesus – Living Waters Ministries, now Abide Ministries – and have seen it grow exponentially since then, with 24+ retreat leaders all over the nation, 24 online courses, 8 books on various aspects of living life with Christ, and a daily podcast. Rich and Linda have also worked with various churches, strengthening them with the truths of an abiding life in Christ, and seeing Christ bring reconciliation and new vision to desperate situations.

Their heart is to bring the truths and promises of God to as many people as possible, showing everyone that when you abide in Christ and seek Him daily, your life can be completely and utterly transformed – and can experience the grand life promised by God.
