The Be Unbound Podcast

The Analog Art Revolution with Jared Wiggins


Listen Later

What does it mean to be a Christian artist in the age of AI? How do you balance creative freedom with the discipline of deadlines?

In this episode, we sit down with Jared Wiggins—Unbound alum, professional graphic designer, and instructor for Unbound’s Art & Graphic Design Track. Jared shares his story of discovering art as a homeschooled kid doodling through lessons, to becoming both a professional designer and a working artist whose faith deeply shapes his craft.

Together, we explore:

  • The difference between being a graphic designer and an artist, and why Jared lives in both worlds
  • How creativity actually thrives under restriction and discipline
  • Why following Jesus influences the way Jared approaches beauty, storytelling, and design
  • The story behind his favorite painting—Jesus calming the chaos waters
  • How to find purpose and emotion even in the most “corporate” or uninspired projects
  • Why Jared believes AI will make authentic, tangible art more valuable than ever


If you’ve ever wrestled with what it means to be creative, faithful, and disciplined all at once, this conversation will inspire you to see art as an act of worship.
