Most
people think of the heroes of the Bible as religious leaders, yet 75
percent of these champions of faith made their living in the workplace, not the
place of worship. God is looking for these kinds of leaders
today—work-world followers of Jesus who take spiritual responsibility
for themselves and those around them. People committed to
shaping—instead of becoming shaped by—their environment. People who
remain faithful in the midst of faithless surroundings. People willing
to lead and influence culture against seemingly insurmountable odds.
This is the kind of
spiritual leader we need today, not “rock star” pastors, but “ordinary”
Christians who take their Lord and their spiritual impact seriously.
That’s my kind of hero.
