A way of saying, I guess, that they do what Christian evangelists do - spread good news that others may not have experienced yet - but that their message is 'secular,' not religious.
And it's true that even if you're not personally enthused by their particular passion -nutrition, self-sufficiency, business or whatever it is - to watch someone follow their passion and use it to encourage people gives us a glimpse of their vision and shows us another dimension of our familiar society.
So these guys, and others, are certainly evangelizing - but what's secular about it?
The word 'enthusiasm' means 'filled with God.'
The earliest Christian evangelists had a saying, 'To work is to pray.'
Jesus said, 'I came to bring life in the full,' and work is a major part of a full human life, whether paid or voluntary, domestic or public.
Therefore, the way you work is the way you pray. With energy and enthusiasm, or grudgingly?With the motive of sharing your best self to enhance other people's lives, or with the aim of keeping the best to yourself and pushing others away?
Work on. We're on sacred ground.
