What if you could tell unbelievers about Jesus without scaring them away?
Join us at Christian Writer Con ’26 for ten speakers over to two days to fire up your writing.
On Friday at 5:00 pm ET, Noah J. Matthews will present “Dirty Apologetics: How to Write Gospel Themes for an Unbelieving Audience.”
Christian fiction is a marketing label. It identifies stories that will be consumed primarily by Christians.
But what about those of us who want to write stories for unbelievers? Who want to present the light of the Gospel to the people who need it most?
In the past, that’s taken two main forms—a sermon near the end of the story, or an allegory. Sermons come off as preachy, and rigid allegories are easy to see through.
So what do we do? It’s actually simpler than you think. In my talk, I’ll expand the principles found in God’s word for how to present light in dark places, as I draw from my experience successfully writing a gospel novella for an unbelieving audience.
Want a clear framework with Biblical principles to write truthful stories for an unbelieving audience? Join us at Christian Writer Con on May 8-9 for this and nine more amazing seminars: learn more and reserve your spot here.
