At a time when artificial intelligence can write articles, books, and even sermons in seconds, many aspiring writers are quietly asking the same question: Do I still have a place?
For bestselling author Jerry Jenkins, the answer is deeply personal and hopeful.
After decades of writing more than 200 books and selling over 70 million copies worldwide, Jenkins isn’t discouraged by AI. Instead, he sees an opportunity to remind writers of something technology can never replicate: a life lived with purpose.
This April, Jenkins will gather with writers of all ages at the Pinnacle Christian Writers Conference to encourage them to step confidently into their calling as a writer.
Behind every great piece of writing is something no algorithm can produce, and that's experience. It’s the story of prayers answered, lessons learned through hardship, and even your unique testimony.
Speakers like Anne Graham Lotz, Angela Hunt, and James Scott Bell will join Jenkins in pouring into writers who may feel uncertain in this rapidly changing landscape. Their message is simple: your words still matter.
In fact, in a world flooded with content, authentic stories have never been more needed.
Writers who stay rooted in truth, who write from the overflow of their faith and lived experience, carry something powerful and lasting. And that’s what Jenkins hopes people walk away with: not fear of being replaced, but confidence in being called.
Because the stories that point people to hope, faith, and redemption will always find their place.
And maybe now more than ever, the world is waiting to hear them.
