You may know that Penn is an out-spoken atheist, and doesn't have much time or interest in "religion" - but here he gives a pretty reasoned and coherent argument for being missional. He asks the rhetorical question "how much do you have to hate someone to not proselytize?" Excellent insight! Even with his disdain for God, the gospel, and the Bible, Penn still calls the man who gave him the Bible a "good man," and respects him for living out his faith.
We don't need to be able to debate the existence of God to be a witness of the gospel. It is as simple as being able to describe what God has done to you; how He saved you, and that you merely trust in Jesus for eternal. Being missional means that we are always "on mission," and that can be as simple as giving a Bible to someone.
I wonder if I would love a vocal atheist enough to simply and respectfully give him the gospel in a copy of the Bible?
