“Fishing is just a hobby for most people, something they do on their spare time. No one sees fishing as a responsibility. Yet fishing is serious business. It’s not a hobby for Christian’s; it is to be our lifestyle!” (Rick Warren, The purpose Driven Church)
Hobby - an activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure.
Lifestyle - a set of attitudes, habits, or possessions associated with a particular person or group
