Abide is a Guideposts app for biblical meditation — daily time in Scripture, prayer, and rest, not a secular mindfulness transplant.^1 Two former Google employees, Neil Ahlsten and Eric Tse, founded Carpenter's Code in 2014 to bring people closer to God.^1 ^2 Writers and narrators come from several Christian traditions. They say the Bible is true and profess the Nicene Creed.^1
The site offers a daily meditation, a devotional, a biblical sleep story, a full audio Bible, and reading plans.^3 Premium opens more than 2,000 full-length meditations and 500 Bible bedtime stories, plus music and soundscapes for prayer and sleep.^4 Store listings describe short and quarter-hour sessions on anxiety, trust, healing, and worship, kids' stories, and audio guides for more than fifty books of the Bible, using the NIV.^5 ^6
Genesis 24 has Isaac meditating in the field. The first Psalm speaks of delighting in the law of the Lord day and night. Abide treats that practice as older than modern wellness culture.^1 ^7 The app is free to download on iPhone and Android, with a subscription for the full library.^5
