March 10, 2021 Show with Senator Doug Mastriano PLUS Colonel Kevin Jarrard on “Standing Firm for Truth with Optimism in Dark Days”

Live from the historic parsonage of the 19th century gospel minister George Norcross in downtown Carlisle, Pennsylvania, it's Iron Sharpens Iron. This is a radio platform in which pastors, Christian scholars, and theologians address the burning issues facing the Church and the world today.

Proverbs 27, verse 17 tells us, Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Matthew Henry said that in this passage, we are cautioned to take heed with whom we converse and directed to have a view in conversation to make one another wiser and better.

It is our hope that this goal will be accomplished over the next two hours, and we hope to hear from you, the listener, with your own questions. And now, here's your host, Chris Arnzen.

Good afternoon, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Lake City, Florida, and the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth who are listening via live streaming at ironsharpensironradio .com. This is Chris Arnzen, your host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, wishing you all a happy Wednesday on this 10th day of March 2021.

And I am thrilled to have both a first-time guest for the first hour and a returning guest for the second hour. They're both going to be addressing the same theme, standing firm for truth with optimism in dark days.

My first guest will be Senator Doug Mastriano of Pennsylvania's 33rd District. My second guest during the second hour will be Colonel Kevin Girard, Deputy Chief of Staff, Marine Forces Southern Command, and an elder serving alongside Pastor Ray Rhodes of Grace Community Church of Dawsonville, Georgia.

And providentially, it turns out, I didn't even know this when I first invited Colonel Girard to be on the program, he was a student of my first guest at the War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. And let me give him a more formal introduction.

Senator Doug Mastriano is a combat veteran and son of a career U .S. Navy man who retired from the U .S. Army after 30 years of active duty as a colonel, a doctor of history with a Ph .D. and four master's degrees, author of Thunder in the Argonne, A New History of America's Greatest Battle, and Alvin York, A New Biography of the Hero of the Argonne, and co-editor of Pershing's Lieutenants, American Military Leadership in World War I, who has appeared on Tucker Carlson and numerous national radio programs.

It's my honor and privilege to welcome you for the very first time ever to Iron Triple Design Radio, Senator Doug Mastriano.

Chris, thank you for having me.

And let me give our listeners our email address right away if they have questions. Our email address is ChrisArnzen at gmail .com, C-H-R-I-S-A-R-N-Z-E-N at gmail .com. Please give us your first name at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.

And please only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal and private matter. Well, we have a tradition here on Iron Triple Design Radio, Senator Mastriano, whenever we have a first-time guest, we have that guest give a summary of their salvation testimony, including what kind of religious atmosphere you were raised in, if any, and what kind of providential circumstances our Sovereign Lord raised up in your life that drew you to himself and saved you.

So why don't we begin with that?

You know, I'm not particularly religious. I was in a youth group. And I went, and they gave me the Way Bible. Remember the Way Bible?

Yes, yes.

It was back and forth. I'm like, what?

You have quite the illustrious career in the military. And I was planning on mentioning most of the, or at least a lot of the things that you have accomplished in the military. But if I had done that, we would be out of time before the actual interview started.

But when in your life, and why and how in your life, did an interest in joining the military enter into your mind to begin with?

Ever since I was five.

Wow.

Part of my abdomen got caught on the hatch or something, and he said he woke up sitting Indian-style in a puddle with his intestines flowing. I remember asking him, I said, what did you do? He's like, in his favorite comfort words, you know what I mean?

I went to the aid station, back to the front. Wow. Praise God.

And you already mentioned that you were a history buff, or at least began to love history as a very young child. How did that begin in your life where it reached the point where you actually have earned a doctorate in the study of history?

So as a kid, one of my, after that I was turned on. I believe there's not a lot of history.

Yeah, wow. Well, how did God use your experiences in the military to mold you and shape you and make you a better man, to prepare you to serve him in a greater capacity?

Yeah, so it's unfortunate that a lot of people, maybe you can grab it, Ryan, where you may realize that that might be true going into the Army and the early days of the Chief of Staff, and we just, it's a fire truck, that's not allowed.

I mean, we just like them to try to be disciplined and ordained, and try to sharpen their character muscle and strive for these ideals. The Army held up a lot of Christian models, even today, ironically, like Alvin York, the two Germans, but who entered the fight that day in 1918, 8 October, as a conscientious objector.

He was ridiculed and mocked, or Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at Gettysburg, a little round pop, who had a severe stuttering problem. Most of the vignettes advocated by the Army, even today in our leadership, they say, look, these are the models.

This is how they made a difference by everyday striving. We see Alvin York and Colonel Chamberlain on the battlefield.

Yeah, you, speaking of Alvin York, it just reminded me of the Army medic Desmond Doss, who was a World War II medic, and I don't know if you saw the movie Hacksaw Ridge, but apparently it was a very true-to-life depiction of what he experienced in battle and the heroics that God used him to perform, amazing heroics bordering on the miraculous, because at the end of the program, they had his actual comrades in arms who were still living, giving the testimony of what he had done for them.

And he vowed not to ever carry a gun on the battlefield, but he wanted, he insisted, in fact, on going into battle because he did not want to leave others to do this without the aid of a medic, and he turned out to be, after, just like Alvin York, after being mocked and even beaten up for being a coward and a weakling and a sissy and on and on a week ago, he turns out to be one of the greatest heroes of World War II.

Now, before I go into some of your role, your fairly new role as a senator, I wanted to ask you about some of your books here. Why did you choose to write about the Argonne? The specific title is Thunder in the Argonne, a new history of America's greatest battle.

Were there things about that battle that were not yet recorded in a published work or perhaps not on a popular reading level or what have you? What was the catalyst that made you write about that specific battle?

So the first book was one of over a million American soldiers. It was going to be cut short, and thankfully it was.

And your latest work that you co-edited, Pershing's Lieutenants, American Military Leadership in World War I, what was the inspiration for getting involved in that project?

So Major General Lebecki, I'll call him the lead editor, it was his book idea, and he's published by Lebecki.

Wow. Well, I know that all of these books are available on Amazon. Is there anywhere else that you want to recommend where our listeners can get a hold of them?

Amazon is the best.

And as I already announced in my introduction of you, you are a senator in Pennsylvania's 33rd District. First of all, what would be the responsibilities and roles of a senator?

So obviously in our General Assembly.

And were you surprised that you won? There are a comparative few outspoken, very conservative, born-again believers that I am personally aware of anyway in politics, and I know that you despise calling yourself a politician.

Thank you.

But there are many who call themselves Christian, but I have my doubts about many, I'm not going to mention them obviously, but I have my doubts about even many conservatives in the Republican Party who identify themselves as Christian because of things that they wind up saying or doing that makes me scratch my head.

But were you expecting to win your Senate race?

I don't know. I am just really as I was. Do you try to do something?

Praise God. Well, we have to go to our first station break. If anybody has a question for Senator Doug Mastriano, send it to ChrisArnzen at gmail .com, C-H-R-I-S-A-R-N-Z-E-N at gmail .com. Give us your first name at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.

Don't go away. We'll be right back with Senator Doug Mastriano after these messages. When Iron Sharpens Iron Radio first launched in 2005, the publishers of the New American Standard Bible were among my very first sponsors.

It gives me joy knowing that many scholars and pastors in the Iron Sharpens Iron Radio audience have been sticking with or switching to the NASB. I'm Dr. Joseph Piper, President and Professor of Systematic and Homiletical Theology at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Taylors, South Carolina, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Chuck White of the First Trinity Lutheran Church in Tonawanda, New York, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Anthony Methenia of Christ Church in Radford, Virginia, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Jesse Miller of Damascus Road Christian Church in Gardenville, Nevada, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Bruce Bennett of Word of Truth Church in Farmingville, Long Island, New York, and the NASB is my Bible of choice. I'm Pastor Rodney Brown of Metro Bible Church in South Lake, Texas, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Jim Harrison of Red Mills Baptist Church in Mayapac Falls, New York, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

Here's a great way for your church to help keep Iron Sharpens Iron Radio on the air. Pastors, are your pew Bibles tattered and falling apart? Consider restocking your pews with the NASB, and tell the publishers you heard about them from Chris Arnzen on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

Go to nasbible .com. That's nasbible .com to place your order.

James White of Alpha Omega Ministries here. If you've watched my Dividing Line webcast often enough, you know I have a great love for getting Bibles and other documents vital to my ministry rebound to preserve and ensure their longevity.

And besides that, they feel so good. I'm so delighted I discovered Post Tenebrous Lux Bible rebinding. No radio ad will be long enough to sing their praises sufficiently, but I'll give it a shot. Jeffrey Rice of Post Tenebrous Lux is a remarkably gifted craftsman and artisan.

All his work is done by hand from the cutting to the pleating of corners to the perimeter stitching. Jeffrey uses the finest in buttery soft imported leathers in a wide variety of gorgeous colors like the turquoise goatskin tanned in Italy used for my Nestle All in 28th edition with a navy blue goatskin inside liner and the electric blue goatskin from a French tannery used to rebind a Reformation study Bible I used as a gift.

The silver gilding he added on the page edges has a stunning mirror finish resembling highly polished chrome. Jeffrey will customize your rebinding to your specifications and even emboss your logo into the leather making whatever he rebinds a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Are you tired of looking for the silver bullet when it comes to health and wellness? Are you frustrated with the medical status quo which masks symptoms and doesn't treat the root problem of sickness?

More importantly, are you looking for one of the most unique books ever written, which gives you safe, low-cost and proven options to regain your health the way God intended? Then look no further than my new book, Health for All of Life, a medical manifesto of hope and healing for the nations.

Hi, I'm Jason Garwood and I'm a husband, father, pastor and writer whose passion for helping people led me to write this book. If 2020 has proven anything, it's that big pharma, big tech and big government knows nothing about how to treat people naturally without poisoning them with synthetic drugs and experimental vaccines.

But what if God has given us a better way? What if we can take the Christian worldview found in the Bible and apply it to health and wellness? My book, Health for All of Life, does just that. You can find this exciting new book on Amazon.

Pick up a copy for yourself and for your friends and family. Give the gift of health and don't be a dead end to truth.

Welcome back. This is Chris Arnzen. If you just tuned us in, our guest for the first hour is Senator Doug Mastriano. And he and the second guest, who happened to be a student of his at the War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Colonel Kevin Girard, they are both discussing standing firm for truth with optimism in dark days.

If you have a question, send it to ChrisArnzen at gmail .com, C-H-R-I-S-A-R-N-Z-E-N at gmail .com. And as always, give us your first name at least, your city and state, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.

And I probably don't have to tell you, Senator Mastriano, that many of your fellow Christians and other conservatives are weighed down with pessimism due to the unexpected results from the recent presidential election.

They believe the presidency was stolen. They doubt the next election will be free from fraud as well. Do you see any reasons, tangible ones, realistic ones, for optimism that we will have an honest election that we can trust in four years?

Well, one thing I do know is that if we don't get out and vote, as far as last year, every legal and constitutional, all we wanted was transparency. All we wanted was an audit. And of course, because Governor Wolf liked the outcome, the people, the idea.

Well, we have a listener that you know who has submitted a question. He is actually, or has been, a guest of mine here on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio a number of times, most recently to discuss a book that he co-authored with two doctors.

One of them is my new general practitioner, Dr. Joel Yeager, in Newmanstown, Pennsylvania, of Heritage Family Health. I thank God for Ernie Springer, who is our questioner from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, because without providentially interviewing Ernie on this book that he co-authored with Dr. Yeager and Dr. Daniel O 'Rourke, I never would have known of Dr. Yeager.

And he actually got me off insulin and told me that I never should have been prescribed insulin to begin with. So that was quite a shock and a pleasant shock, but still disturbing that I was prescribed this drug unnecessarily.

But that's not the topic of our discussion today. Ernie Springer, co-author of The Coronavirus and The Leadership of the Christian Church is Sacred, Trustbroken, has a question for you. And he asks, would the Senator please explain how his Christian faith governs his decisions and actions as he seeks to serve the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

Wow, Ernie from Lancaster and I together, what a small world. You see, the left, I mean, you know, but notice they never have to leave. And you should be able to live your life as you see fit, as you want.

You believe in the biblical concepts. That means you support the ideals of a foundation. I know.

Yeah, I can vividly remember President Bill Clinton being interviewed by a young woman, college student on NBC, who identified herself as an evangelical Christian. And she asked President Clinton what role the Bible played in his life.

And President Clinton said how much he loved the Bible, that the Bible is his favorite book. He reads the Bible every day. And on and on we could go with the high praises for the Bible that President Clinton gave.

And he said, just because I believe in the Bible and love the Bible does not mean I have to have the Bible drive and determine my policies as president. I thought that was the most moronic and ridiculous answer to that question.

Because if you do love the Bible, you must believe it's true. So therefore, why wouldn't you want to have that as your source for decisions you make in the highest office in the free world? That doesn't make any sense.

That's a politician who's sadly colonized. William Wilberforce saw these disgusting non-Christian believing men and women and families from Africa, evangelical Christian minister of parliament in England, that would like to love the Lord, by the way, by using graves, former slave ship captains.

Yeah, you were saying that the left can, with impunity, boast of their deeply held religious faith. We have Nancy Pelosi doing that on an ongoing basis, declaring that she is a faithful Roman Catholic.

You have Raphael Warnock, who pastors the church formerly pastored by Martin Luther King Jr., currently a junior United States senator from Georgia, obviously being unashamed about his cherished faith and using biblical allegories when speaking about problems in the United States, and might I add, I think, twisting them in such a way that they are rendered heretical and blasphemous.

But it's interesting how it is completely acceptable for them to declare their allegiance to their religion when they are on the left, and yet it is a pariah, it is considered a dangerous step towards a theocracy and religious tyranny when the right does the same.

And even when we are speaking of those that claim their ideology comes purely from secular thought, isn't it not true that when you passionately believe in things that do have religious ramifications, and when you believe in them religiously and you're devoted to them, for instance, whenever you believe something is right and good and celebratory, like murdering unborn children, like the attempts of changing one's gender, even though we know that cannot really happen, and things like that, you are taking a religious position, whether you declare that or not, because you are saying God is a liar.

You're saying the word of God is a liar, or the word of God is false, and it's not really the word of God at all. So isn't this rhetoric and the ideology that we hear from the left, can we not accurately label it as religion, and that they really have no business saying that we can't mix or should not mix politics and religion when they are in reality doing that very thing, even if they refuse to call it religion?

I am. They hold one measure. It's ironic and sad that they can't even see that they're being inconsistent. You know, they'll celebrate Buttigieg, a 30-year veteran like me, and I'm like, villainized.

It's like, what? Unless you vote their way. The drama in New York, the pace of sending this science-denying, ridiculous policy, it takes good ones out there, but overwhelmingly, where were they? Did they do stories?

Did they show Levine as somebody incompetent who had policies that were destructive? Did they show Levine doing investigative save lives, by the way, would it matter? Because this policy was against Levine.

They had rallies, all that kind of stuff, you know, about a Republican you like or trust. You just ask yourself, is that? And who is this reporter? Did he do any? It drives me crazy. We can't grow weary doing good.

I just work for one side.

Well, Senator Mastriano, if you could, in a minute, summarize what you most want etched in the hearts and minds of our listeners today before you leave the program, and I hope the next time you come back on the program, God willing, that you stay with us for two hours.

But if you could, just summarize what you most want our audience to remember today.

Just remember who we are. Remember. You know, in Joshua chapter 4, when the children of Israel cross over their promised land, and he wanted this.

Amen. And, folks, if you want to learn more about Senator Doug Mastriano, go to SenatorMastriano .com, SenatorMastriano .com. Thank you so much for being such an excellent guest, Senator Mastriano, and I look forward to your return to Iron Trump and Zion Radio.

Thank you. God bless you all. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye now. And don't go away, folks, because we are going to be returning with our second guest, Colonel Kevin Girard, who is continuing the same theme. This is a longer-than-normal break. Please be patient with us.

And if you could, please send us questions to ChrisOrenson at gmail .com for Colonel Kevin Girard. And also, use this time to write down the information provided by our advertisers so that you can more frequently and successfully patronize them.

We need our advertisers to exist. Even if you just respond to our advertisers by saying, thank you for sponsoring Iron Trump and Zion Radio, that will go a long way. Don't go away. We'll be right back after these messages.

Getting a driver's license, running a cash register, flipping burgers, passing sixth grade. Do you know what they all have in common? They all require training, assessments, and certifications. But do you know what requires no training at all?

Becoming a parent. My name is A .M. Brewster. I'm the president of Truth, Love, Parent, and host of its award-winning podcast. I've been a biblical family counselor since the early 2000s. And what I've discovered is that the majority of Christian parents have never been biblically equipped to do the work of the ministry in their homes.

That's why Truth, Love, Parent exists. We serve God by equipping dads and moms to be the ambassador parents God called and created them to be. We produce free parenting resources, train church leaders, and offer biblical counseling so that the next generation of dads and moms can use the scriptures to parent their children for life and godliness.

My friend Chris Arnson, host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, and I are headed down to Atlanta, Georgia once again for the G3 Conference. This year's G3 will be held Thursday, September 30th through Saturday, October 2nd on the theme, Christ is Supreme Over All.

I'll be joined by over 20 other speakers and musicians to lead in the worship of God through preaching, teaching, and singing, including John MacArthur, Phil Johnson, Conrad M. Bayway, Daryl Bernard Harrison, and Virgil Walker.

For details, visit g3conference .com. That's g3conference .com. Chris Arnson and I hope to see you September 30th through October 2nd at G321. This is James White reminding you that Christ is supreme over all.

As host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, I frequently get requests from listeners for church recommendations. A church I've been strongly recommending as far back as the 1980s is Grace Covenant Baptist Church in Flemington, New Jersey, pastored by Alan Dunn.

Grace Covenant Baptist Church believes it's God's prerogative to determine how he shall be worshiped and how he shall be represented in the world. They believe churches need to turn to the Bible to discover what to include in worship and how to worship God in spirit and truth.

Grace Covenant Baptist Church endeavors to maintain a God-centered focus. Reading, preaching, and hearing the Word of God, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, baptism, and communion are the scriptural elements of their corporate worship, performed with faith, joy, and sobriety.

Discover more about Grace Covenant Baptist Church in Flemington, New Jersey at GCBCNJ .squarespace .com. That's GCBCNJ .squarespace .com. Or call them at 908 -996 -7654. That's 908 -996 -7654. Tell Pastor Dunn that you heard about Grace Covenant Baptist Church on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

Here's what Gary DeMar, president of American Vision, had to say about Iron Sharpens Iron Radio recently.

Good to be back. Chris, I always enjoy our time. I have to tell you, you're one of the better interviewers out there, and I've been doing this for more than 30 years.

Wow, that's some compliment. How much do I owe you for that?

I consider Chris a true friend and a man of high integrity. He's a skilled interviewer who's not afraid to ask the big penetrating questions, while always defending the key doctrines of the Christian faith.

I've always been happy to point people to this podcast, knowing it's one of the very few safe places on the internet where folk won't be led astray. I believe this podcast needs to be heard far and wide.
