Light of the World and Salt of the Earth

I was reading recently that in an interview a twenty-eight-year-old Christian described what he thought is one reason Christians are not engaging and influencing the world as Jesus tells us to, you know light of the world, salt of the earth, is that many Christians are closed off from the world.
 
"We go to church on Wednesdays, Sundays, and sometimes on Saturdays. We attend small group on Tuesday night and serve on the Sunday school advisory board, the financial committee, and the welcoming committee. We go to barbeques with our Christian friends and plan group outings. We are closed off from the world. Even if we wanted to reach out to non-Christians, we don't have time and we don't know how. The only way we know how to reach out is to invite people to join in our Christian social circle."
 
How can we make time to let our light shine and are salt savor? Are we too busy?
