Podcast appearances and mentions of Alvin York

Main idea:  Christ preserves and advances His mission through ordinary faithfulness sustained by divine assurance. 1. Christ Advances His Mission through Ordinary Faithfulness (v.1–8) 2. Christ Strengthens His Servants through Divine Assurance (v. 9–11) 3. Christ Preserves His Mission through Quiet Providence (v. 12–17) Discussion Questions: 1. What are “ordinary means” God uses to grow Christians and build churches? Which one do you most neglect when you're tired? 2. In vv.9–11, list the commands Jesus gives and the promises He attaches. Why do you think Jesus pairs them that way? 3. In Acts 18, Gallio isn't a hero, and the government isn't ultimate. What's a healthy way to relate to civil authorities without putting your hope in them? 4. Alvin York “settled obedience before the crisis.” What does it look like for a Christian to settle obedience ahead of time? Where do you need to settle it right now?

In honor of Sergeant York's birthday (born December 13, 1887) we re-share a visit to his family farmstead in Pall Mall, Tennessee for a visit with his daughter, Betsy and granddaughter Deborah.

I denne ukens bonusepisode må vi snakke om Stephen Bryant-saken, en mann som nylig ble henrettet i USA. Både Sara og Sondre er fascinert over både kriminell lavalder i USA, henrettelsesmetoder, og ikke minst det faktum at saken har gått såpass under radaren for oss. Sara har funnet noen nye true crime-dokumentarer som hun bare MÅ se, og Sondre forteller om krigshelten Alvin York i Sondres Utvalgte.

If you were alive between 1918 and 1940, it is absolutely certain that you would have heard of Alvin York’s famous exploits in World War One. But would you know the truth about the man, and about what he did one desperate day on the battlefield? Chances are you’d only know part of his story. But the tale behind his actual heroism is far more interesting, and far more human. Get early, ad-free access to episodes of Medal of Honor by subscribing to Pushkin+ on Apple Podcasts or Pushkin.fm.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #216 Mark Keefe NRA Managing Director of Editorial & Public Affairs   Like everyone who has read any of the NRA's magazines or watched American Rifleman, or even seen some shows on The Outdoor Channel or The History Channel, I've seen Mark Keefe for years. Emails between the NRA staff and me while setting up the show with Doug Hamlin (RSWC #213), I saw that Mark was on the email last. I had to ask if he would be available and interested. And he was.  I was pleasantly surprised when Mark came out before I interviewed Doug to check and make sure everything was good to go.   Mark has been shooting since he was young. His grandfather used to drink beef from a can. When the beer got old, they used to shoot the beer cans with the beer in them while using a BB gun. That's quite a reactive target, for sure! As a young teenager, the family elders decided he was “old enough for the Thompson.” But it was only semi-auto until he was older. He also did some shooting in the Boy Scouts.    In 1988, Mark wanted to be a Shooting Sports Director for the Boy Scouts so he could teach rifle, shotgun, and archery. To do this, he had to become an NRA Certified Instructor. In this process, he reconnected with Phil Schreier (RSWC #182). His interest in collecting historical firearms really took off. Mark told me the story about Phil getting a job volunteering at the NRA Museum and telling him that you never know where it will lead and you have to grow up sometime. The following year, Phil ended up offering Mark the weekend work at the Museum saying… you never know where it will lead and you have to grow up sometime. Mark has been there 34 years, and Phil has been there 35 years.   After being at the Museum a few years, he started as the assistant technical editor for some of the magazines. He worked through the ranks as associate technical editor, managing editor, and finally editor and he ran American Rifleman for 21 years. In the early 2000's, he was encouraged to start a column so the readers could learn more about the NRA contributors. That was the beginning of The Keefe Report. He still kept reviewing guns, the current issues, and his regular duties.     In the late 1990's/early 2000's, the NRA started having the staff and writers get out and gain experience with the firearms they were reviewing. That's when Mark had the chance to travel the world and do some training and hunting. Learning to shoot a rifle at moving game is different from hunting in the United States. These hunting trips and experiences really gave them the chance to experience the usefulness and dependability of the firearms they were using. While using firearms in the field, he began to see why some of the designs of rifles or cocking methods or stocks were built the way they are. It made more sense once they put them to use in real situations.    In the early 2000's Mark was on a hunt with people from The Outdoor Channel. They told Mark there really needed to be an American Rifleman TV show. But he didn't have a lot of video experience. He, his staff, and Phil came up with a plan to get the show going and what the content would be. He told me a great story about someone who went back to Europe and was able to find brass from rounds fired by Alvin York! It's an amazing story!   Mark's most recent title is the Managing Director of Editorial & Public Affairs. He's got his hands in many things NRA and media related, from The Keefe Report to American Rifleman, but also keeping up with the new trends in social media. Mark is NRA to the core. And a firearm guy through and through. He told me after we were done filming that we didn't even get to any of the hunting stores. I can't wait for those.   Favorite quotes: “I think he's probably old enough for the Thompson.” “You can't really slap a rifle trigger, but you can pull it quickly.” “We wanted to take people places they couldn't go.” “We blend the story of the people who used these guns.” “We're involved in things that we just don't get credit for.”   National Rifle Association https://home.nra.org/   American Rifleman https://www.americanrifleman.org/   NRA Publications on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@NRApubs   NRA Explore/NRA Programs https://explore.nra.org/   NRA Facebook https://www.facebook.com/NRA   NRA Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nra/   Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun    Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/     Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.    Dennis McCurdy Author, Speaker, Firewalker http://www.find-away.com/   Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/   Buy a Powertac Flashlight, use RSWC as the discount code and save 15% www.powertac.com/RSWC   SABRE Red Pepper Spray  https://lddy.no/1iq1n   Or listen on: iTunes/Apple podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/riding-shotgun-with-charlie/id1275691565

In this episode of *Dave Does History*, Dave Bowman takes us back to October8, 1918, exploring the life and remarkable transformation of Sgt. Alvin York. Born into the rugged hills of Tennessee, York was a devout Christian and pacifist who initially struggled with the moral dilemma of going to war. However, as the United States became embroiled in World War I, York's internal conflict would lead him to one of the most heroic actions in American military history. Dave dives deep into York's personal journey, from a rowdy youth to his profound Christian conversion, and how he reconciled his faith with the brutal reality of war. The episode climaxes with the legendary Battle of the Argonne Forest, where York single-handedly silenced 35 machine guns, killed 25 enemy soldiers, and captured 132 German troops. Dave also reflects on the aftermath of York's heroism and his humble return to civilian life, where he refused to commercialize his fame and instead focused on supporting veterans and his local community. Join Bill and Dave as they unpack the incredible story of how a reluctant soldier became one of America's most celebrated war heroes, and the legacy that York's faith, humility, and service left behind. Tune in to learn more about the man behind the Medal of Honor, and how his actions continue to inspire to this day.

Alvin York: A New Biography of the Hero of the Argonne

Sgt York was awarded the Medal of Honor for single handedly killing two dozen enemies and capturing over 130 during World War I, but is that what really happened?  In this episode we talk about what really happened that day in France, and how decades of lies and cover-ups supported a false narrative about York and his actions that day.

War hero, Medal of Honor recipient, and subject of an Oscar-winning film, Sgt. Alvin York was the most famous soldier of his generation. But behind the honors and publicity was an uncompromising Christian patriot who suffered when his ideals were challenged by shifting views of faith, patriotism, and moral relativism. Untouched by German gunfire, York faced destruction from disease, disrespect, and the IRS.

In October 1918, just weeks before the end of the First World War, one of the most incredible feats of military valor took place in the Meuse–Argonne offensive, one of the last great battles of the war.  This incredible feat of bravery and soldiering was done by a very unlikely soldier. One that didn't even want to participate in the war on religious grounds.  His story has been the subject of books and movies and is still being told today.  Learn more about Sergeant Alvin York and his remarkable story on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The real story of Alvin York isn’t quite what we see in this film led by Gary Cooper’s Oscar-winning performance. The post A034: Sergeant York (1941) appeared first on .

In the heart of the maelstrom that was World War I, amidst the chaos of battlefields and the deafening roars of machine guns, a most unexpected hero emerged—an unassuming man named Alvin York. York's journey was not one of conventional heroism; rather, it was a saga of unwavering courage, unyielding faith, and a relentless commitment to a higher calling. Testicular Fortitude is presented by Haines Knives - http://hainesknives.com/manlihood Enter to win an EDC by Haines Knives here: http:manlihood.com/contests York has been called “The Deadliest Pacifist in US History.” After he single-handedly captured 132 enemy soldiers, they asked him how he did it. He said, "I surrounded them." Alvin York's testicular fortitude was in his strategic brilliance that completely went against all of the conventional norms of warfare. He was born in a log cabin near the Tennessee-Kentucky border in 1887, grew up in a family sustained by subsistence farming and hunting.  In 1915, he had an experience with God, and became a devout Christian As World War I engulfed the world, York, now a man of profound faith, sought conscientious objector status upon being drafted.  That pacifist position was challenged though, when he encountered Luke 22:36  "He who hath no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one." Guided by those words from Jesus, York abandoned his initial stance and enlisted in the U.S. Army's 82nd Infantry Division. The crucible of York's heroism unfolded on October 8, 1918, during the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the final Allied push against German forces. Tasked with seizing German-held positions, York's battalion was under fire - a German machine-gun nest rained bullets upon them. As chaos ensued and the unit's numbers dwindled, York was thrust to the forefront, commanding a squad of merely 17 men. Undeterred by the odds, York, feeling a divine calling, advanced alone against the machine-gun position. Drawing upon his sharpshooting skills cultivated during Tennessee Turkey hunting days, he systematically neutralized the enemy. The undergrowth around him ablaze with gunfire, York's determination and marksmanship cut through the chaos,with lethal precision. Ammo was running short. Six Germans charged him with bayonettes, and with only seven shots, he took out all six. As he approached the German commanding officer, the tide of the battle irreversibly turned. Faced with the inevitable, the officer surrendered his entire unit, a total of 132 men, in exchange for his life. York's story reverberated far beyond the battlefield. Lauded as "the war's biggest hero" by The New York Times and hailed by General John J. Pershing as "the greatest civilian soldier" of World War I, York returned home to a hero's welcome. He leveraged his fame to found a school for underprivileged children, the York Industrial Institute. In 1941, Hollywood immortalized his bravery in the movie "Sergeant York," starring Gary Cooper.  When York died in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson eulogized him as "a symbol of American courage and sacrifice," embodying "the gallantry of American fighting men and their sacrifices on behalf of freedom." Alvin York, A humble man propelled by faith and armed with unyielding determination, became a symbol of courage, defying expectations and inspiring generations.  His name echoes as a testament to the enduring power of faith, courage, and commitment on the battlefield.

Gary Cooper’s famous portrayal of this brave war hero was only part of the story of Sgt. Alvin York.

We helped you pump some spiritual iron as we strengthened your ability to contend for the faith. Our guest a well-respected apologist took on the arguments of the atheism to expose their flaws and help us answer them with clear, biblical truth. We tackled your most challenging questions about the most dangerous personality type, the narcissist.

War hero, Medal of Honor recipient, and subject of an Oscar-winning film, Sgt. Alvin York was the most famous soldier of his generation. But behind the honors and publicity was an uncompromising Christian patriot who suffered when his ideals were challenged by shifting views of faith, patriotism, and moral relativism. Untouched by German gunfire, York faced destruction from disease, disrespect, and the IRS. Join us to hear the whole story of this great American figure.

On October 8, 1918, seventeen American soldiers of Company G, 2nd Battalion, 328th Infantry, 82nd Division flanked a German machine gun nest, surprising and capturing dozens of German soldiers. Acting Corporal Alvin York – a conscientious objector turned warrior – was credited with leading the squad and singlehandedly killing 20 Germans, knocking out 35 machine guns, and capturing 132. York later received the Medal of Honor for this action, and his exploits were forever immortalized in the 1941 movie Sergeant York, starring Gary Cooper. The World War I Podcast covered the story of York in an episode in 2017, but since then, there has been additional scholarship. What about the other sixteen members of the patrol? What role did they play in the action? Why is so little known about them? Is there more to the story? To answer these questions, the World War I Podcast welcomed James P. Gregory Jr. to the podcast. Gregory is a PhD candidate and the author of Unraveling the Myth of Sgt. York: The Other Sixteen.  Follow us: Twitter: @MacArthur1880 Amanda Williams on Twitter: @AEWilliamsClark Facebook/Instagram: @MacArthurMemorial www.macarthurmemorial.org

Many in our day do not remember the name of the fame of Sergeant Alvin C. York was the most famous soldier of World War I. Many people do not know that Alvin York single-handedly captured 132 German soldiers one day in France. York was the recipient of many great honors from several nations for his bravery in combat. However, Alvin C. York was a most unlikely man to become a legendary hero. York felt that his Christian faith barred him from killing anyone, even in war. After being drafted, York made it known that he was a conscientious objector; that he would not be able to kill other men.  He was sent home on a ten-day leave to think about his situation and to consider the scriptures a Christian captain had shared with him. York was promised that he would be dismissed from the Army if he still felt the same way when he returned. Finally in a crisis of faith, God showed York that he could obey God and defend the helpless in Europe at the same time. He wrote, “As I prayed there alone… I knew that He was there. He understood I didn't want to be a fighter or a killing man… He took pity on me and gave me the assurance I needed… It was His will and that was enough for me.” Sgt. York had to win the war in his mind before he could win the battles that lay ahead of him in the trenches of France. Alvin York had to yield to the Lordship of God in his life before he would ever become a great war hero. The same truth is seen in this passage. Israel is about to attack the city of Jericho. Before that battle, the leader of Israel, Joshua, goes out to inspect the site of the coming battle. On that important day, Joshua came face to face with the real leader of Israel. He had an encounter with One Who was far more powerful than he was. That day, outside the walled city of Jericho, The Leader Meets The Lord. When he did, Joshua was humbled, but he was also prepared for the battle that lay ahead. Let's look in on this special encounter between The Leader And The Lord.

SERGEANT YORK stars Gary Cooper as Alvin York, a good-hearted, but hard drinking farmer in the Tennessee hills. His claim to fame is his astounding marksmanship. On his way to kill someone who cheated him, lightning knocks him off his horse and splits his rifle down the middle. Alvin takes this as confirmation from God of some lessons taught him by the local pastor. He immediately goes to get saved. Alvin forgives those who mistreated him, becomes an active church member and teaches Bible lessons to children. He's drafted and goes to serve after three conscientious objection appeals fail. He and an officer get into a Scripture-quoting contest about justified killing. He's sent on leave with a book about American history. He returns prepared to fight.

Alvin York wanted nothing to do with WWI and was denied time and time again in his efforts to become a conscientious objector. Finally resigning to the battle call, York became one of the most decorated US Army soldiers in WWI for his many heroic acts.

"October 8, 1918 was a banner day for heroes of the American Expeditionary Force. Thirteen men performed heroic deeds that would earn them Medals of Honor. Of this group, one man emerged as the single greatest American hero of the Great War: Alvin Cullum York. A poor young farmer from Tennessee, Sergeant York was said to have single-handedly killed two dozen Germans and captured another 132 of the enemy plus thirty-five machine guns before noon on that fateful Day of Valor. York would become an American legend, celebrated in magazines, books, and a blockbuster biopic starring Gary Cooper. The film, Sergeant York, told of a hell-raiser from backwoods Tennessee who had a come-to-Jesus moment, then wrestled with his newfound Christian convictions to become one of the greatest heroes the U.S. Army had ever known. It was a great story—but not the whole story. In this absorbing history, James Carl Nelson unspools, for the first time, the complete story of Alvin York and the events that occurred in the Argonne Forest on that day. Nelson gives voice, in particular, to the sixteen “others” who fought beside York. Hailing from big cities and small towns across the U.S. as well as several foreign countries, these soldiers included a patrician Connecticut farmer whose lineage could be traced back to the American Revolution, a poor runaway from Massachusetts who joined the Army under a false name, and a Polish immigrant who enlisted in hopes of expediting his citizenship. The York Patrol shines a long overdue spotlight on these men and York, and pays homage to their bravery and sacrifice."

Joe and Eric are joined by special guest, Steven Thomas. Steven is the Director of Operations for the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center, a museum dedicated to preserving the memories of the recipients of the Medal of Honor. In a follow-up to an earlier discussion about followers of Jesus and the subject of violence we interview Steven specifically about two devout Christians, Sgt. Alvin York a combatant and Pvt. Desmond Doss a pacifist. Each of these individuals recieved the Medal of Honor for their actions in combat though they carried out their mission in very different ways.

His regiment led the attack against Saddam's elite Republican Guard forces. Doug went on to serve in Washington, DC, the 3rd Infantry Division and US Army Europe.  After 9/11, Mastriano was the lead planner for the operation to invade Iraq via Turkey.  He served four years with NATO and deployed three times to Afghanistan.  Mastriano was the director of NATO's Joint Intelligence Center in Afghanistan, leading 80 people from 18 nations.  On his own initiative, Doug led seven relief operations to help Afghan orphans.  He completed his career as a Professor of the U.S. Army War College (PAWC), Carlisle, PA, and taught Strategic Studies at the Master Degree level to the next generation of senior leaders. Mastriano is a Doctor of History (PhD) and has four master's degrees: Strategy, Strategic Intelligence, Military Operations, and Airpower.  He earned a BA from Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania and was the alumnus of the year in 2009.   He led the search to locate where America's greatest WW I hero, Alvin York, received the Medal of Honor and led the construction of a three mile trail, with two monuments and nine markers in the Argonne Forest of France.  He published 30 articles on strategy and historic topics and authored the book Alvin York: A New Biography of the Hero of the Argonne which received four awards. His new book, Thunder in the Argonne is the first to tell the complete story of America's largest battle, the 1918 Meuse-Argonne Campaign.  Doug's next book, Pershing's Lieutenants, was just released and is an edited work that focuses on the leadership style of American officers in the First World War. Mastriano has appeared on Tucker Carlson, C-Span, numerous national radio programs (John Batchelor Show, Eric Metaxas Show) and on Fox Business with Stuart Varney.  He retired from the U.S. Army in November 2017 after 30 years of active duty as a Colonel.  In 2018, he was a candidate for Pennsylvania's 13th U.S. Congressional District, where he overwhelmingly won Franklin and Fulton Counties and placed 3rd (of 8 candidates) in Adams and Cumberland Counties.  Doug is married to Rebecca (Stewart), whose ancestors settled this region of Pennsylvania in 1732.  Rebecca was a chaplain with Marketplace Ministries at Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe. Their son Josiah is a graduate of Liberty University, and an Eagle Scout, Canadian Chief Scout and recipient of the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards. Mastriano is an active member of his church and resides near Caledonia State Park, Pennsylvania.  Mastriano was elected to serve as the Senator for Pennsylvania's 33rd District in May 2019, which includes all of Adams County, most of Franklin County and parts of Cumberland and York Counties.   Mastriano has thirty years of experience building teams to get the job done.  He has dedicated his life to fighting for freedom, defending our families and serving the people of this great land.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talk about the common war movie tropes, why they exist, and acknowledge some candidates for future war films, such as Audie Murphy, Francis Pegahmagabow, Alvin York, and Harriet Tubman.

Fatherless and poor as a teen, Alvin York supported his large family by hunting and working as a logger in northern Tennessee.  When he was drafted into the US Army for World War I, he was faced with a decision.  Follow the pacifist, non violence beliefs he was raised with or learn to protect his fellow soldiers.  York was right in choosing the later because he would go on to save his entire Army unit in France, take out a machine gun nest and help capture over 100 German soldiers.  After being awarded the US military's highest honor, York would go down in history as a poor Appalachian boy who continues to inspire thousands.
