"IRON SHARPENS IRON, artfully hosted by Chris Arnzen, provides a Christ-Centered forum for the honest and sensitive discussion of issues and topics of current interest to the Christian Community and beyond. My times as a guest on the program proved to be pleasant and profitable (albeit the topic was not without points of pain). Chris has a gracious facility for probing gently yet pointedly touching the tough as well as the tender spots. His range of topics span the spectrum from controversy to compassion and combine the "heart" concerns of spiritual pain and perplexity with the "head" issues of much-needed biblical and theological truth in a culture that seems to need a more clear direction with reference to God's Word and God's Will. May the Lord be pleased to prosper this Bible-based ministry."

Chris Arnzen's program IRON SHARPENS IRON is a blessed exception, offering red-meat discussions of the most critical issues of time and eternity in a very palatable way."--- William Norman Grigg, Editor-at-large, "The Right Source"
"It was a distinct honor and privilege to be on Chris Arnzen's IRON SHARPENS IRON radio broadcast. I have always found Chris to be affable, articulate, and engaging.

He has a great radio voice and personality, but more important than that, Chris has a great heart for God and the kingdom of righteousness.

"IRON SHARPENS IRON is a welcome addition to the Talk Show genre. There are enough conservative talk shows that deal with politics.
