Pete Hammond once studied 40 of the highest profile people from the Bible. These are people that we look up to as examples of great faith. I’m talking about people like Abraham, Moses, Noah, these kinds of people.

Pete Hammond studied 40 of them. Guess what he discovered! He discovered that of these 40 High Profile Leaders in the Bible 3 out of 4 or 75% never had a religious job.

In other words, 75% of them were never priests or pastors or missionaries as we think of them. 75% of them never left the business world to go into what we call “full time ministry”.

They held, for their whole life, what some refer to as secular jobs.
