evangelizing
Preaching to converts
Evangelizing is spreading a message with passionate conviction, originally and still often religious: missionaries evangelizing in remote villages.
The word extends to any zealous promotion of ideas, products, or causes: He's always evangelizing about the benefits of meditation.
The tone suggests fervor that may border on pushy—evangelizers don't just recommend, they convert.
