What An Atheist Knows That My Evangelist Classmate Didn't
In this episode of The Babbler, Evangelist Marshall Wall share a burden that’s been burning in his heart: if we believe in heaven and hell, how can we stay silent? Inspired by the words of atheist Penn Jillette, “How much do you have to hate someone not to proselytize?”, we explore what it truly means to do the work of an evangelist.
Through a personal story from high school, we reflect on what evangelism really is (beyond pulpits and platforms), and remind us of Paul’s charge: “Do the work of an evangelist.” This is a call to every believer—your world is counting on you.
