Dissent.05—Shuckin n' Jivin with Shazam Watkins

Dissent.05 is finally here. SPECTACLE OF DISSENT’s most ambitious episode yet with a run time of over 4 hours featuring very special guest, the best-selling artist, the fool’s bard, the warrior of Christ, Shazam Watkins himself!

If you’re familiar with Shazam you will not want to miss this. If you’ve never heard of Shazam you will not want to miss this. You say, “surely 4 hours of these two guys talking can’t be worth my time,” but to the contrary, not a minute of this episode is fluff.

It really was a privilege to sit down with Shazam for this conversation. He’s lived a really fascinating life and has an awesome testimony of his faith in Jesus and how God has worked and is working in his life.
