Welcome to the Blackbar Podcast's newest segment: Ten Talks!

Life is full of nuanced opinions on nuanced topics, but it's important to remember that, behind each opinion, there's a human created and loved by God.

Ten Talks aims to take that approach one controversial digital media topic at a time. This debate style segment serves to challenge differing opinions while also encouraging each one of us to grow in the lost art of respectful disagreement.

In today's conversation, Caleb Weidman will be facing off against Zach Snyder to answer the question, "Was 2020 A Good Year For Church Media?"
