Them Before Us #053 | Building Cathedrals: Art That Lasts with Christian Watson


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re joined by Christian Watson, artist, creative director, and the designer behind the Pro-Child Politics book cover, to talk about the deeper meaning of art—what it says, what it lasts for, and what it’s pointing toward.Christian shares his journey from vintage-obsessed teen to sought-after designer, and why his work is rooted in truth and beauty, not trends. He calls on Christian creatives to break free from the cycle of copying secular culture and start making art that actually shapes culture—art that points to God by being excellent, honest, and beautiful.From the story behind the book cover to reflections on cathedrals built over centuries, this conversation is a rallying cry to believers: stop reacting, and start building. Because good art isn't just good for culture—it's good theology.Jenn and Christian also chat about why Christian's company chose the year 1942, and how he brought Katy's vision for the Pro-Child Politics book cover to fruition.See more from Christian:https://1924.us/https://www.instagram.com/1924us
