Stuck in a Christian Bubble

My friend, Monkey, talked on his blog about Brian McLaren's new book, "The Last Word and The Word After That" and what he got out of it: that we should share our faith and do so by not threatening people with the dangers of hell but by teaching them how to live life to the fullest. Hear me out, I want with every inch of my heart to have everybody come to know the love of Jesus, but at the same time, I think we get so stuck in our Christian bubbles that we start to focus on people saying "the prayer" instead being with them and seeing what their life is like after the prayer. Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to save the world for Jesus that we can almost lose sight of saving souls for Jesus.
What do you think people who don't know Christ are going to remember more: A prayer of repentance or the person who came to walk along side of them and helped guide them after that prayer?
