The Smith and Rowland Show

The Spirit of Heaviness is a real burden, and Isaiah 61 shows the answer. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Jeff Rowland opens up about broken hearts, spiritual warfare, worship, and the freedom Christ brings through Isaiah 61 and Luke 4. Jeff walks through the passage where Jesus reads from Isaiah in the synagogue, then stops before "the day of vengeance of our God." That moment matters. It points to the healing, mercy, and liberty of Christ's first coming, while the day of judgment still lies ahead. For believers today, that means hope is still active, grace is still speaking, and the Lord is still binding up the brokenhearted. This message also gets honest about heaviness. Jeff talks about what it can feel like in the mind, body, and inner life, and how shame, sin, sorrow, and lies can weigh a person down. He also shares how Scripture answers the enemy with "It is written," why worship matters in battle, and how the garment of praise can replace the spirit of heaviness. You'll also hear a powerful picture from the story of Lazarus, where Jesus raised him, then told others to "loose him and let him go." That same call to help free one another is part of the church's life today. Jeff also shares parts of his own testimony, including his salvation at age six and his survival after six cancer tumors were removed from his stomach. His message is clear, Christ still heals broken hearts, and heaviness does not get the final word. If you need encouragement, Scripture, and a reminder that God still brings freedom, this Podcast is for you. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #JeffRowland #SpiritOfHeaviness #Isaiah61 #Luke4 #Podcast #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Praise #FreedomInChrist

The Antichrist, global power, Israel, and Bible prophecy all come into focus in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show. Jeff and Allan press into Isaiah 60, the role of nations, and the growing tension between nationalism and global rule.

This Podcast does what it does best, it takes the Bible seriously and follows the text where it leads. The conversation stays grounded in Scripture, especially the Old Testament, the times of the Gentiles, and the promises tied to Israel. Along the way, they ask hard questions about the Antichrist, the restraint of evil, and what may be happening behind world events right now.

The real Enemy of America isn't always the one people are looking at. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation goes straight into history, empire, religion, and power. Smith and Roland talk through Britain's long reach, America's founding tensions, and the way political influence can work far beyond open warfare. They also connect those ideas to the current conflict with Iran, the Prince of Persia, and the shifting alliances that are shaping today's headlines. This Podcast digs into questions most people never ask. How did England go from enemy to ally in the American mind? What did religious freedom mean to the founders? Why does the Church of England matter in this conversation? And how do banking, monarchy, media, and war all fit into the same larger picture? The discussion also covers Susan Kokinda's claims about British power, the role of the crown, and the idea that America has been used as a force in global conflict. Along the way, Smith and Roland pull in Scripture, church history, and hard political questions that still matter now.

A sharp conversation about Britain, empire, prophecy, and power runs through this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show. In "Britain's 300 Year Empire - Ep. 902 - May 10, 2026," the discussion starts with a podcast recap that pulls in British history, Middle East politics, and a biblical framework for understanding world events. The hosts talk through a PBD Podcast interview with Susan Kenda, where the focus turns to the British Empire, U.S. influence, and the long reach of imperial power. The episode also connects those ideas to Scripture, including Isaiah 60, Isaiah 61, and the difference between prophecy and mystery. That leads to a wider discussion about the United States, Britain, Israel, and how nations can be viewed through both history and theology. Along the way, the hosts bring up Donald Trump, NATO, the idea of a nation's mission, and how cultural shifts have shaped public life for decades. If you follow biblical prophecy, geopolitics, or historical analysis, this Podcast gives you a lot to think about. The conversation is candid, fast-moving, and packed with references that tie together empire, kingship, mystery, and America's place in the world.

What happens when people stop believing, and what does that mean for the Church? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, the conversation turns sharp, honest, and rooted in Scripture. The hosts talk through a recent poll about why people are leaving church, then go straight to the heart of the issue, unbelief, weak teaching, and a lack of the full counsel of God. They also dig into Acts 20 and Paul's warning to the church at Ephesus. That passage brings the main point into focus, if leaders have declared the truth, the Blood is not on their hands. From there, the discussion moves into what faithful preaching should look like, why the Word of God still matters, and how seasons in spiritual life do not last forever. This episode also takes on a hard look at church culture, including the push to replace substance with spectacle. The hosts call for real preaching, real teaching, and real dependence on the Holy Spirit. If the Church is going to stand, it needs truth, not empty noise. You'll hear a direct discussion about falling away, church responsibility, faith that has to be fed, and why some people say they do not believe anymore.

On this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan and Jeff react to a controversial report about an LGBTQ+ festival planned for the Dead Sea area, near the land associated with Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19. The discussion turns sharp fast, blending Scripture, politics, and hard questions about sin, judgment, and what happens when governments promote what the Bible calls abomination. The hosts also push back on the double standard they see in both Israel and the United States, then connect the story to Jude 1:7 and the warning it carries. Along the way, they weigh the role of national leaders, the consequences of public sin, and why some events feel bigger than simple headlines. If you follow biblical prophecy, current events, and unapologetic Christian commentary, this episode gives you a lot to think about. It also keeps the usual Smith and Rowland mix of blunt talk, humor, and side comments that only these two can pull off.

Repent, what does that really mean, and what does "the kingdom of heaven is at hand" mean for believers today? On this special edition of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland take a hard look at repentance, unbelief, revival, and the literal meaning of the kingdom message preached by John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles. They also wrestle with a big question, if Scripture says the kingdom is at hand, how much of God's glory can a believer experience right now? This episode moves through: The meaning of repent in John 3 and the Gospels Why unbelief keeps people from entering into God's promises How literal Bible reading changes the way we understand prophecy What Revelation 21 says about the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven Why revival in an apostate age still matters today The conversation is sharp, funny, and direct, with plenty of back-and-forth on biblical interpretation, end-times teaching, and the danger of turning plain Scripture into something else. If you care about the Bible, revival, the kingdom of God, and the question of what John meant by "at hand," this episode gives you a lot to think about. Watch as Alan and Jeff press into the real issue behind the message of repentance, not just sin in general, but unbelief in God's promise, God's power, and God's kingdom.

John the Baptist's message still cuts straight through the noise: "Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand." In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation traces that statement back through Matthew, Isaiah, Daniel, and the covenants God made with Israel. The discussion stays focused on the big question, what did John mean, and why does it matter now? Jeff and Alan walk through the Davidic covenant, the Abrahamic covenant, and the opening of the New Testament, showing how Scripture connects the promise of a coming King with the hope of God's rule on the earth. They also talk about Isaiah 40, the voice crying in the wilderness, and why John the Baptist's ministry lines up with that prophecy. This Podcast doesn't treat the phrase "the Kingdom of heaven is at hand" as a small detail. It treats it as a central message. The hosts explain why John called people to repent, how that message was tied to prophecy, and why Jesus later preached the same words in Matthew 4:17. They also address how the Old Testament background shapes the way we read the Gospels, and why those details matter for Bible students today. If you've ever wondered what the Kingdom message meant in the days of John the Baptist, or why these passages keep coming up in prophecy discussions, this episode gives you a clear place to start. It also brings the conversation into practical terms, with a strong focus on what God said, what He promised, and what He intends to reveal. Watch the full episode and follow the thread through Scripture, covenant, prophecy, and the Kingdom message that still speaks today. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Podcast #KingdomOfGod #BibleStudy #JohnTheBaptist

A raw, no-filter episode of The Smith and Rowland Show takes aim at the growing rage around politics, faith, and public speech. In this Podcast, the hosts react to the attempted assassination of a President, the media firestorm around it, and the deeper question of how rhetoric can shape real-world action. They also dig into the language people use when they talk about power, respect, Christianity, and the way Bible verses get twisted to fit a personal agenda. The conversation moves fast. It starts with the absurdity of a sponsor joke about toenail clippers, then shifts into serious territory, including the White House Correspondents Dinner, the attack attempt tied to that political climate, and the manifesto left behind by the suspect. The hosts push hard on one point, words matter, and a culture built on contempt can spill into dangerous places. They also make a direct connection between public speech and spiritual decline, warning that Apostasy can hide inside religious language, political outrage, and online influence. If you care about Christian discernment, political commentary, and where America's public square is headed, this episode goes there without softening the edges. Watch as they discuss: * The attempted assassination and the public reaction * Why respect for office and life matters * How political rhetoric fuels division * The role of Christian language in extreme behavior * The idea of Apostasy in today's culture This episode is blunt, topical, and focused on the clash between speech, belief, and consequence. #SmithAndRowland #Podcast #President #Apostasy #ChristianCommentary

When God sends someone into a church, the assignment matters. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan and Jeff talk through a recent visit from Marzy, an Iranian-born Christian whose story carried far more than a personal testimony. It raised a serious Point about what God may be saying to New Life right now. The discussion centers on discernment, church leadership, and the danger of missing what God is trying to say through an unexpected guest. Alan and Jeff connect Marzy's background, her message, and the timing of her visit to a larger call for the church to wake up, pay attention, and respond in faith. They also talk about how spiritual messages often carry practical and even political weight, especially when the topic touches Iran, religious freedom, persecution, and the urgent need for believers to stay alert. This Podcast goes straight into questions that matter for any church that believes God is still moving, still speaking, and still sending people with a purpose. If a guest comes with a message, what should leadership do with it? How do you tell the difference between a normal visit and a direct word from the Lord? And what happens when a church receives an invitation to renewal but doesn't recognize it? Marzy's testimony, as shared in the conversation, includes her conversion to Christianity, imprisonment in Iran, and her work now as a speaker and advocate for persecuted believers. That background gives this episode real weight, because it pushes the conversation beyond opinion and into conviction. If you care about church life, revival, spiritual discernment, and the way God works through real people, this episode is worth your time. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Podcast #God #ChurchRevival #ChristianPodcast

What happens when the Church starts reshaping God to fit culture, opinion, and comfort? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland take on the hard issue of Deconstruction in the Church and the Beliefs behind it. This conversation gets straight to the point. They discuss why churches fall away, why pastors stop preaching on disputed subjects, and how rebellion against God's Word opens the door to apostasy. They also talk about the pressure points hitting the modern Church, including cultural secularization, political division, online church culture, celebrity pastors, moral compromise, and spiritual laziness in the pulpit. Alan and Jeff connect today's Deconstruction movement to biblical warnings about the great falling away in 2 Thessalonians and Jude. They challenge the idea that faith should be rebuilt around personal taste, public pressure, or a softer image of God. Instead, they call believers back to truth, sound doctrine, repentance, and courage in preaching. You'll also hear strong thoughts on: * why some churches are changing their Beliefs without saying so * how silence from the pulpit weakens the Church * why livestreams have value, but can't replace faithful gathering * how rebellion against godly authority prepares people to accept deception * why this moment calls for bold preaching, not retreat There is humor throughout, as always, but the message is serious. If you've been concerned about the state of the Church, the rise of Deconstruction, or the loss of biblical conviction in Christian spaces, this episode speaks to that head-on. Watch, share, and leave a comment with your thoughts. Is the modern Church standing firm, or is it giving ground where it should not?

What does an Apostate Church look like in real time? In this episode, The Smith and Rowland Show tackles the Characteristics of apostasy that are reshaping the modern Church. This conversation gets straight to the point. Jeff Smith and Allan Rowland talk about falling church attendance, changing doctrine, deconstruction in major denominations, and the growing confusion over biblical authority. They also address hard issues that many churches avoid, including homosexuality, hell, women in church leadership, and the loss of sound doctrine. At the center of this episode is one clear message: when people lose their understanding of Scripture, they start reaching the wrong conclusions. Because of that, the Church doesn't just drift on one issue, it drifts on many. This episode explains why context matters, why dispensational Bible teaching matters, and why preaching the Word still matters more than ever. There is also hope in this discussion. While the warning signs are serious, the answer is still the same, preach the Word, know the Word, and refuse to ignore what is happening in front of us. Smith and Rowland don't soften the subject, but they also don't give up on revival. If you've been watching the culture shift and wondering why so many churches are changing, this episode will help put words to what you're seeing.

Apostasy, Deconstruction, and the state of Christianity take center stage in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show. Smith and Rowland open with humor, then move straight into a serious and timely discussion about the great apostasy, the deconstruction movement, and why so many people now challenge biblical authority. They talk about what happens when self replaces Scripture, why truth gets redefined, and how churches drift when they try to match the culture instead of obeying God. This episode also tackles hard issues inside the modern church, including spiritual apathy, compromise in leadership, and the loss of discernment. As the conversation builds, they examine whether Deconstruction starts with honest pain, rebellion against truth, or disappointment with stale religion. They also ask whether the church itself helped create the conditions for this crisis by offering form without life, tradition without fresh bread, and activity without real spiritual power. If you've been concerned about Apostasy in the church, confused by the rise of Deconstruction in Christianity, or burdened by what looks like spiritual sleep across the body of Christ, this conversation gets right to the point. Smith and Rowland connect current events, church trends, biblical authority, spiritual warfare, and the growing pressure to bend Christian belief to fit modern culture. This is a strong episode for pastors, church leaders, believers, and anyone trying to understand why so many are walking away from historic Christianity, while others are trying to rebuild faith on their own terms.

Deconstruction isn't a trend to watch from a distance. It's changing churches, confusing believers, and pulling people away from biblical Christianity. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland speak plainly about Deconstruction, apostasy, spiritual drift, and the danger of toxic theology. They discuss how churches change their beliefs, why biblical inerrancy matters, and what happens when the authority of Scripture gets replaced by opinion, scandal, and cultural pressure.

Are we awake to the Time we're living in, or have we settled for a Religious Form that leaves no room for real power? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk about spiritual seasons, discernment, and why so much of the modern church looks active while still asleep. Starting in Romans 13 and 2 Timothy 4, they press into a hard truth: believers must know the Time, preach the Word in season and out of season, and come out of empty Religious Form. This conversation gets straight to the point. They discuss how culture can reveal the season we're in, why many people resist end-times preaching, and how a slumbering spirit shows up in daily life. They also talk about walking in the light, not just as a moral ideal, but as divine protection from temptation and spiritual blindness. You'll also hear strong insight on:  * why preaching the gospel still works in a dark culture  * the danger of replacing substance with presentation  * how Form can overtake faith when people trust style more than truth  * why being ready for Christ's return means more than saying you're saved  * how to discern the season without falling into fear There is also a timely challenge here for the church. If the house is on fire, it makes no sense to keep trimming the yard. That picture runs through the whole episode. The call is clear: wake up, cast off darkness, and live with urgency. If you've felt frustrated by shallow church culture, confused by the times, or burdened by the state of the world, this episode will give you biblical clarity and needed conviction. Watch, listen, and take inventory. The Time matters. The Word still works. Religious Form won't carry anyone through this hour. #SmithAndRowlandShow #EndTimes #BiblicalDiscernment #ChristianPodcast #Romans13

Knowing the Time matters if you're going to read the Bible clearly, preach it faithfully, and apply it the right way. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland open Romans 13:11-14 and talk about why spiritual wakefulness is urgent right now. This conversation builds on their recent series through Jude and turns toward a key issue many believers miss: timing. They discuss what it means to "awake out of sleep," why Paul said it is "high time," and how knowing the season changes the way Scripture should be understood and taught. Along the way, they tackle:  * why all Scripture is true, but not every passage applies the same way in every time and season  * how "rightly dividing the word of truth" affects doctrine, preaching, and daily Christian living  * why books like Hebrews, the Gospels, and Paul's letters must be read in their proper setting  * how confusion about seasons can lead to guilt, fear, bad doctrine, and spiritual misery  * why the message for this present age is reconciliation through the finished work of Christ They also use clear, memorable examples from farming, family life, and church ministry to show how truth applied in the wrong season can still do harm. That makes this episode especially helpful for pastors, Bible students, and anyone trying to make sense of end times, apostasy, salvation, and biblical discernment. If you've ever wrestled with questions about dispensational teaching, the signs of the times, or what the church should be preaching right now, this episode gets right to it. It's a strong start to a new series and sets up the discussions to come.

Is there a spiritual force behind the War with Iran? In this episode, Smith and Rowland connect Bible prophecy, Jude, Daniel 10, and today's headlines. On Ep. 886 of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation turns straight to one of the most serious issues in the news right now: Iran, Israel, and the spiritual battle behind the conflict. As they walk through Jude and Enoch's prophecy, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland discuss the difference between the rapture and the second coming, then connect that teaching to Daniel 10 and the "prince of Persia." This episode focuses on the idea of a Principality over Iran, and what that could mean for the current War in the Middle East. They talk about anti-Semitism, the threat against Israel, the role of prayer and fasting, and why this battle can't be viewed as only political or military. Instead, they argue that what's happening in the natural world points to a much larger spiritual conflict. You'll hear discussion on:  * Jude 14 and Enoch's prophecy  * Daniel 10 and the prince of Persia  * Iran's long hostility toward Israel and the United States  * Gog and Magog, Ezekiel 38, and end-times prophecy  * Why intercession, prayer, and fasting matter right now There are also classic Smith and Rowland moments throughout the episode, including a memorable sponsor mention from the "Purple Truck," which brings a little humor into a weighty conversation. If you follow Bible prophecy, current events, spiritual warfare, or end-times teaching, this episode gives you a lot to think about. It's direct, urgent, and rooted in Scripture.

What does the Bible say Apostasy looks like in real life? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Jude 12 and 13 and talk plainly about the Marks of apostates, why they're dangerous, and how they work inside the church. This conversation gets to the heart of a hard truth. Apostasy isn't always loud or easy to spot. Sometimes it comes dressed in spiritual language, Bible talk, and promises of deeper insight. Yet Jude gives strong warning signs. He describes hidden rocks, clouds without water, fruitless trees, raging waves, and wandering stars. Smith and Rowland unpack those images and show why they still matter right now. Along the way, this episode also touches on spiritual elitism, false depth, and the danger of people who mix truth with error. That's where this message hits hard. The focus isn't on hype or religious performance. It's on Christ, the cross, and the presence of God. As Alan and Jeff explain, when people drift from the simplicity of the gospel, they become easy targets for deception. There's also plenty of the humor listeners expect from The Smith and Rowland Show, but the core message stays sharp. Apostates are predators seeking whom they may devour, and the church needs discernment. If you've ever struggled to identify false teaching, or wondered how deception spreads among sincere believers, this episode will give you a clear Bible-based framework. Watch, listen, and weigh it against Scripture. Then share it with someone who cares about truth, discernment, and the last days.

What happens when a Metaphor gets treated like an Allegory? In this Podcast, Smith and Rowland tackle why that shift can distort Scripture and feed apostasy. In Episode 884 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland dig into Jude, dispensationalism, spiritual gifts, and the danger of reading hidden meanings into texts that should be taken plainly. They draw a sharp line between Metaphor and Allegory, and they explain why that difference matters if you want to handle the Bible with clarity and honesty. This conversation also gets into continuationism, sign gifts, the rapture, dominion, literal hermeneutics, and the kind of intellectual pride that can twist truth into something else. Along the way, they share personal stories about divine impartation, childlike faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit to open blind eyes. If you're trying to sort through Bible interpretation, apostasy in Jude, or the debate around dispensational theology, this episode gives you a lot to think about. It's direct, thoughtful, and grounded in Scripture. Topics covered include: the Book of Jude and apostasy, Metaphor vs Allegory in Bible study, dispensationalism and continuation of gifts, literal interpretation of Scripture, the rapture of the church, spiritual blindness and divine impartation, the power of the resurrection Watch, think it through, and share it with someone who cares about sound biblical teaching. #SmithAndRowlandShow #BookOfJude #Dispensationalism #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast

A sober Bible discussion on apostasy, delusion, and why forgetting what God has done can put a soul in real danger. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation turns to Jude 11 and the hard warning it gives the church. Smith and Rowland walk through the way of Cain, the error of Balaam, and the gainsaying of Korah, then connect those patterns to the spiritual confusion many believers see today. This Podcast episode covers more than surface-level church talk. It presses into the difference between deception and delusion, the willful rejection of truth, and the danger of denying what God has already shown and done. As a result, this becomes a serious Debate about apostasy, unbelief, grace, judgment, revival, the rapture, and the state of the modern church. You'll hear a strong Bible-based discussion on: Jude 11 through 13 and the pattern of apostasy Cain, Balaam, and Korah as warnings for our time How deception can harden into delusion Why unbelief matters so much in Scripture The danger of rejecting truth after once receiving it Why believers must never forget what God has done for them How revival, memory, and faithfulness stay connected There's also reflection on Easter, God's mercy, rescue, healing, and the power of the Holy Spirit to open blind eyes again. Even in a heavy message, the hope stays clear, God can still move, save, restore, and reveal truth.

Watch, listen, and share with someone who needs this warning. #SmithAndRowlandShow #BookOfJude #BibleProphecy #ChristianPodcast #Apostasy

Arrogance or Humility, the Choice shapes more than attitude, it reveals how we handle authority, truth, and spiritual conflict. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland continue their study through Jude and land on one of the most striking verses in the chapter, Michael the archangel refusing to bring a railing accusation against Satan and saying, "The Lord rebuke thee." From there, the conversation opens up in a serious and practical way. They connect Jude 4, 8, 9, and 10 to the marks of apostasy, the danger of pride in spiritual talk, and the difference between fleshly boldness and godly Humility. They also discuss false teachers, authority, Moses' body, spiritual warfare, and why careless accusation can say more about our own hearts than we think. This episode is for anyone trying to read Jude with clarity and apply it to church life today. If you've ever heard people speak lightly about rebuking Satan, attacking leaders, or using spiritual language with pride, this message gets right to the heart of it. Arrogance sounds strong, but Humility stands under God's authority. That's the Choice in front of all of us. Topics in this episode include: Jude Bible study Michael and Satan in Jude 1:9 apostasy in the last days spiritual authority and submission false teachers in the church Moses and the body of Moses pride vs humility what it means to say, "The Lord rebuke thee" Watch, listen, and weigh the message carefully. This one presses hard on the spirit of the age. #Jude #BibleStudy #Humility #SpiritualWarfare #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

Apostasy rarely starts with a loud denial of truth. It starts small, through unbelief, pride, rebellion, and a slow rejection of Authority. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation moves straight into Jude and tackles how Apostasy grows in the church, in ministry, and in the heart. Alan Smith, Jeff Rowland, and guest Joel Goddard talk through Jude's warning signs, including murmuring, complaining, false grace, defiling the flesh, and resisting God-given Authority. They also unpack how Sonship shapes the way we respond to correction, covering, and obedience. This is a serious and honest discussion about spiritual drift, prophetic influence, leadership, and what it means to stay in the place God assigned. Along the way, they cover: how grace gets twisted into permission to sin, why leaving your place of Authority brings real danger, how pride can corrupt gifting, why Sonship and submission are tied together, and how Jude speaks with striking clarity to the church right now. There's humor at the start, but the heart of this episode is weighty. If you've wrestled with rebellion, church leadership, spiritual pride, or the fear of slowly drifting from truth, this conversation will give you a lot to think about. Watch, listen, and examine your own walk through the lens of Jude. #Apostasy #Authority #Sonship #BookOfJude #ChristianPodcast

Who are the Creepers in Jude 8, and why does Jude warn the church so strongly about them? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation gets straight to the heart of apostasy, false teachers, spiritual authority, and what the Bible says about the last days. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Jude 8 and connect it to Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot, Abraham's intercession, the rapture of the church, and the growing danger of replacing truth with error. They also talk about how false teaching slips into the church, how grace gets twisted into permission for sin, and why rebellion against God-given authority is such a serious mark of deception. Along the way, they discuss: the warning signs of apostasy in the church, what Jude means by dreamers and Creepers, how Lot reflects compromise in an evil culture, why Abraham's prayer for Sodom still speaks to us now, how spiritual authority is ignored and attacked, and why the doctrine of the rapture matters so much in the last days. This episode is direct, sobering, and grounded in Scripture.

Could Replacement Theology be part of the Apostasy of the Last Days? In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Jude and deal with a sobering warning the church can't afford to ignore. This conversation starts light, then turns serious fast. In Episode 878 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff and Alan dig into the book of Jude and talk about unbelief, false teaching, moral compromise, and the danger of replacing what God has clearly said. Along the way, they connect Israel in the wilderness, the fallen angels, and Sodom and Gomorrah to a pattern Jude lays out for the Last Days. They also take a hard look at Replacement Theology and why it matters so much. This isn't treated like a side issue. Instead, they show how replacing Israel, replacing God's order, or replacing biblical truth can lead straight into Apostasy. This episode gets personal, too. Both men openly reflect on areas of unbelief in their own lives, especially when God's leading doesn't line up with human logic. Because of that, the discussion feels honest, weighty, and very real. Inside this episode: Jude's warning about unbelief and judgment, how Apostasy starts in the mind and ends in the flesh, why Replacement Theology is tied to a broader replacement mindset, how false teachers turn grace into permission for sin, and why discernment matters more than ever in the Last Days. If you've been studying Jude, Bible prophecy, false doctrine, or the spiritual condition of the church, this episode will give you a lot to think about.

What happens when Jude points to Sodom and Gomorrah as a warning for the church? In this episode, The Smith and Rowland Show takes a hard look at Apostasy, false teaching, sexual immorality, and the judgment tied to rebellion against God's truth. Smith and Rowland walk through Jude 6 and 7 and connect the passage to Israel's unbelief, the angels that left their first estate, and the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah. As they unpack the text, they show how Apostasy doesn't begin at the end, it starts with murmuring, complaining, unbelief, and a steady drift away from God's order. This conversation also tackles the role of false teachers, the corruption of grace, and why biblical truth is often rejected when it directly confronts sin. In addition, they discuss how these issues show up in the modern church, in the pulpit, and across today's culture. If you've been studying Jude, end-times deception, false prophets, or the moral collapse pictured in Sodom and Gomorrah, this episode gives clear biblical context and direct application for where we are right now. Watch through to the end, then share this with someone who needs a sober, Scripture-first look at Apostasy in the church. #SodomAndGomorrah #Apostasy #BookOfJude #BibleProphecy #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

What happens when Apostasy stops looking like a trend and starts showing its spiritual roots? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland continue their study through Jude and focus on verse 6, where the warning turns sharply toward the supernatural Origins of falling away. This conversation connects Jude 6, 2 Peter 2, Genesis 6, and the broader battle over how Scripture should be read. Smith and Rowland take on major issues head-on, including the difference between a literal and allegorical view of the Bible, the reality of hell, the rebellion of fallen angels, and why unbelief can open the door to deception and delusion. Along the way, they also tie these themes to the condition of the modern church, the rise of false teaching, and the growing pressure to redefine what God has plainly said. As a result, this episode pushes past surface-level commentary and gets to the heart of why Apostasy spreads, how it gains power, and why Jude's warning still matters right now. If you're following this series through Jude, this is a key episode. It adds weight, context, and urgency to the warning signs many believers are seeing in the church and in the culture. Watch through to the end, then be ready for the next step in the study as the discussion moves into Jude 7. #Apostasy #BookOfJude #BibleProphecy #ChristianPodcast #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

When does Deception become Delusion? In this Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, the conversation turns urgent, biblical, and deeply personal. In Episode 875, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland continue their study through Jude and press into a hard question: what happens when deception goes unchecked? They draw a sharp line between Deception of the mind and Delusion of the spirit, then connect that warning to apostasy, unbelief, and the growing rejection of God's truth in the church and culture. This episode also tackles major issues head-on, including replacement theology, dominion theology, kingdom now teaching, anti-Semitism, and God's covenant purposes for Israel. As they work through Jude verse 5, they argue that last-days apostasy doesn't just come from outside the church. It creeps in quietly, then spreads through false teaching, pride, and spiritual blindness. Along the way, they discuss: how apostasy enters the church the difference between deception and delusion why unbelief matters more than most people think why Israel remains central in biblical prophecy how replacement theology distorts grace why political ideas often grow out of theological beliefs how last-days error prepares the way for deeper blindness This is a serious Bible discussion, but it's also practical.

If you're following this Jude study, this is an important one. Verse 5 opens up far more than most people expect. Watch, listen, and share with someone who wants a stronger biblical view of apostasy, grace, Israel, and the last days. #SmithAndRowlandShow #Deception #Delusion #BibleProphecy #Podcast

What kept Israel out of the promise, Fear or Faith? In this episode, Smith and Rowland open Jude 5 and show why that warning still matters now. This conversation gets right to the heart of unbelief. Using Israel in the wilderness as the key example, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk through how saved people can still miss their inheritance through unbelief, fear, pride, and compromise. That makes Jude a hard book, but also a necessary one. They connect Jude 5 with Numbers 14, Hebrews 4, 1 Corinthians 10, and the letters to the churches in Revelation. As a result, this episode builds a clear picture of last-days apostasy, the danger of fear-driven teaching, and why believers must still contend for the faith. You'll hear strong insight on: the unbelief of Israel and why it stands as a warning to the church, the difference between salvation and inheritance, how Fear can shape choices more than Faith, why apostasy often starts with a turn from God's Word, the battle over literal truth versus twisted meaning, and why the next move of God may be rising in young people with Joshua and Caleb faith. There's also a clear call here for Word and Spirit to stay together. Right doctrine matters. So does first love. When those are torn apart, people drift. When they stay joined, lives change. If you've been studying Jude, end-times prophecy, apostasy in the church, or the spiritual lesson of Israel's wilderness journey, this episode will give you a lot to think about. Watch, share, and stay with this series as The Smith and Rowland Show continues through the book of Jude. #SmithAndRowlandShow #BookOfJude #Israel #FaithOverFear #BibleStudy

What happens when sincere believers are missing part of the message? In this episode, Alan Smith walks through Acts 19 and shows how God fills the gaps, corrects false confidence, and calls people into deeper truth. "Apostasy: Actions Against God's Purpose" is a strong message about partial belief, spiritual hunger, and the danger of settling for less than what God has said. As Paul meets disciples in Ephesus, he finds people who know repentance, but don't yet understand the full gospel, the Holy Spirit, or the name of Jesus in its fullness. That moment opens up a powerful lesson for the church today. This teaching covers: how Acts 19 reveals gaps in belief and understanding, why partial truth can still leave people spiritually unprepared, what baptism, obedience, and the Holy Spirit mean in this passage, why signs and miracles mattered in Paul's ministry, how pride keeps people from admitting what they still need to learn, and why the Word of God has more lasting value than anything this world can offer. Along the way, this sermon speaks plainly about life, death, eternity, and the new birth. It also points to a hard truth many avoid, our earthly success fades fast, but what God does in the heart lasts forever. That's why this message presses past surface religion and gets to the deeper issue, whether our lives are aligned with God's purpose or drifting through actions that pull us away from it. If you've ever wrestled with questions about the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, Christian growth, or Apostasy in the church, this message will give you a lot to think about. It's honest, grounded in Scripture, and centered on the lasting work of God. Watch, listen closely, and let the truth of Acts 19 search your heart. #Apostasy #BookOfActs #HolySpirit #BibleTeaching #ChristianFaith

What does it really mean to contend for the Faith in the Last Days? In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland open Jude and confront the warning signs of apostasy head-on. This conversation gets straight to the point. Jude's message wasn't vague, and it wasn't meant only for another time. It speaks to the church right now. Alan and Jeff walk through Jude 1 through 5 and connect it to Israel in the wilderness, showing how people can witness God's power, enjoy His blessing, and still refuse obedience when it matters most. They break down why Contending for the faith takes more than talk. It takes courage, obedience, and a willingness to stand on God's Word when false teaching creeps in. They also explain the difference between salvation and inheritance, why miracles don't replace obedience, and why Joshua and Caleb still matter as examples for believers today. Along the way, this episode covers: how Jude warns about men creeping into the church unnoticed, why turning grace into license leads to judgment, what Israel's failure in the wilderness teaches the church, why obedience matters more than chasing miracles, how to recognize false teaching in the Last Days, and why believers must earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. If you care about biblical truth, apostasy in the church, end times deception, and standing firm in your walk with Christ, this episode is worth your full attention. Watch, share, and stay in the Word. #ContendingForTheFaith #LastDays #Faith #BookOfJude #ChristianPodcast

A sharp warning for the Last Days. In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland break down the Message of apostasy in Jude and 2 Peter, and why it still matters right now. Episode 871 of The Smith and Rowland Show focuses on a serious Bible theme, false teachers, spiritual infiltration, and the kind of Message that turns the grace of God into corruption. As they walk through Jude verse by verse, Alan and Jeff connect the warnings of Scripture to the church in the Last Days with urgency and clarity. This conversation looks closely at: the "certain men" who creep in unawares, the difference between truth and deception, how false teaching spreads, why mockery of Christ's return matters, and how the warnings of Jude, Daniel, and 2 Peter still speak to the church today. They also talk about spiritual warfare, unbelief, the wilderness generation, and why the Message of the Apostles was never meant to be soft or casual. Instead, it was meant to wake people up, call believers to contend for the faith, and expose what threatens the church from within. If you've been studying Jude, Bible prophecy, the Last Days, apostasy, or the return of Christ, this episode gives you a lot to think through. It's direct, Scripture-centered, and grounded in the conviction that God's Word still tells the truth about our time.

Are Infiltrators already inside the church? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Smith and Rowland open the book of Jude and confront the warning signs of Last Day apostasy. This Podcast moves from sharp humor to serious Bible teaching as the conversation centers on false teachers, spiritual drift, and the slow loss of reverence for God. Jude may be short, but it speaks with force. In just 25 verses, it points to corruption from within, a deliberate falling away from the faith, and the growing danger of ungodliness in the church. Along the way, this episode connects Jude to James, Acts, Revelation, and 2 Thessalonians. It also tackles hard issues many avoid, including the softening of biblical conviction, the loss of holy fear, and the way deception often enters from the inside, not the outside. If you want clear teaching on apostasy, false teachers, contending for the faith, and what believers should expect in the Last Day, this episode is worth your time. It's honest, direct, and grounded in Scripture. In this episode: The warning of Jude and why it matters now How apostasy grows from within the church What "ungodly" really means in the text Why reverence for God is disappearing The difference between friendship with Jesus and fear of the Lord How false teachers distort grace Why believers must contend for the faith The hope of revival in the middle of a falling away Episode 870 of The Smith and Rowland Show, March 17, 2026. #BookOfJude #LastDay #Apostasy #ChristianPodcast #FalseTeachers

They also connect Jude to Revelation, the seven churches, and the steady drift from truth to compromise. As a result, this conversation hits hard for anyone trying to make sense of spiritual confusion, church decline, and the growing attack on biblical truth. Inside this episode: Jude as a roadmap for the Last Day church How apostasy moves from subtle error to open denial Why deception is more than intellectual, it's spiritual The danger of replacing Scripture with opinion and trend How believers can stand firm and overcome in an apostate age There's also some classic Smith and Rowland humor at the start, including a memorable "real salt" sponsor bit, before the conversation turns serious and deeply relevant. If you care about Bible prophecy, the church, the rapture, or the warning signs of the times, this is an episode worth hearing all the way through. This is more than a headline topic.

Mysticism vs. Literalism, what happens when we stop taking God's Word at face value? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, the conversation turns to how people read the Bible, and why it matters. After hearing a comment about "literal hermeneutics," Smith and Rowland weigh the pull of Mysticism, allegory, and "hidden meanings" against a plain, literal reading of Scripture. Along the way, they talk about how pride, presumption, and spiritual elitism can creep into interpretation, and how that drift can lead to serious confusion. You'll hear them touch on:  * Why a literal hermeneutic sets clear boundaries for meaning  * How allegorizing can quietly change the words, not just the tone  * The difference between parables and turning everything into symbols  * Why "going deeper" can become a trap when it's fueled by ego  * How Revelation examples (like the white horse) can get twisted fast If you care about Bible interpretation, dispensationalism, covenant theology debates, or end-times teaching, this episode lays a strong foundation for where these conversations often go off the rails.

America isn't just facing a political fight; it's facing a spiritual wake-up call. Ep. 867 of The Smith and Rowland Show hits hard and doesn't sugarcoat what's happening. In this Podcast episode, Smith and Rowland start with some classic banter (and a surprise sponsor, "Dairy Cow"), then shift into a serious follow-up on Iran, persecution for faith, and why these headlines might point to something bigger than Politics as usual. A Glenn Beck clip sparks the main discussion, framing today's chaos as more than bad policy or partisan noise. From Iran's ideology and global influence to moral confusion at home, to the way "compassion" can get twisted into something darker, the conversation keeps coming back to one message: wake up, see clearly, and don't sleepwalk through a moment that demands discernment. Expect talk about:  * Iran, faith, and why the threat doesn't stay "over there"  * Spiritual blindness, moral collapse, and the loss of a moral compass  * Why you can't separate faith from public policy  * The need to engage, not retreat, as America changes fast New episodes weekly at 9am. #America #Podcast #Politics #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualWarfare

A gripping update on Iran, the underground Church, and why many believers see Jehovah moving in surprising ways. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland react to a powerful testimony from an Iranian Christian woman who describes dreams, miracles, secret church life, and the cost of following Jesus under persecution. Along the way, the conversation turns to what's happening in the Middle East right now, including the long-running Shia and Sunni divide, reports of rapid Christian growth in Iran, and how Jeremiah 49 gets brought into the discussion. The hosts also highlight the contrast between faith under pressure and spiritual comfort in the West, plus why this testimony should wake up the Church in America. You'll hear about:  * A conversion story shaped by dreams, healing, and a deep hunger for truth  * Smuggling and distributing thousands of New Testaments across Tehran  * The risks faced by women who choose Christ under an oppressive regime  * Why this story matters for prayer, perspective, and prophetic discussion This is part one of the clip, the next episode continues with the prison story and release. #Iran #ChristianTestimony #PersecutedChurch #Jehovah #Podcast

When does deception turn into Delusion, and what does Scripture say happens when people reject Truth? A raw, Bible-centered Podcast conversation. In Ep. 865 of The Smith and Rowland Show (March 6, 2026), Jeff and Alan unpack the difference between deception and delusion, and why it matters in everyday life. They connect the dots from Jesus' warning in Matthew 24:4 to Paul's words in 2 Thessalonians 2, where rejection of the love of the Truth leads to "strong delusion" and believing a lie. Along the way, the conversation hits hard topics that many avoid:  * How deception can start with seductive ideas, then grow into settled delusion  * Why "my truth" thinking doesn't stay harmless  * The line between being deceived and becoming a deceiver  * What Proverbs 1 and Romans 1 reveal about God's patience, mercy, and judgment  * Why fear often fuels the lies people choose to believe  * A personal story about prayer, experience, and how bad teaching can shape what you think God will or won't do If you care about discernment, biblical Truth, and staying clear-headed in confusing times, this episode will sharpen you.

If you're Struggling after you've told God "Yes," this episode puts words to what you're feeling and shows a better way forward. In Ep. 864 of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast (March 5, 2026), Alan and Jeff talk plainly about the difference between "false" and "fake," why motive matters, and how confusion over titles can distract from the real issue. A "false" thing can look real while still missing truth. A "fake" thing often carries intent to deceive. That contrast changes how you judge messages, ministries, and even your own heart. Then the conversation turns personal and practical. Saying "Yes" to the Lord is not about chasing a title. It's about surrender, day by day. The call comes first, and it stays non-negotiable. As a result, peace comes when you stop trying to take your "Yes" back and start letting the Holy Spirit shape your character and your function. You'll also hear why real ministry is recognized by function, not hype, and why scandals don't get the final word when repentance and obedience are on the table. Expect humor, honesty, and steady encouragement for anyone who feels stuck between what they promised and what it costs.

Apostles, Fake authority, and False "correction" online, this episode draws a hard line between local church leadership and internet-appointed watchdogs. In Ep. 863 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Smith and Allan Rowland talk straight about the rise of self-appointed voices claiming spiritual jurisdiction they were never given. The result, they say, is predictable, public accusation that sounds spiritual, but carries the tone of the accuser. This conversation hits several flashpoints:  * Why the local church matters more than a vague "universal church" idea  * The difference between the Twelve Apostles and the New Testament office of apostleship  * Why real authority comes by invitation, not by barging into someone else's church problems  * How "exposing" people for clicks feeds the flesh, not the Spirit  * Why the simplest path forward still works, preach Christ, win souls, show up to church You'll also hear their take on "apostolic fathers," generational pushback, and why many online critics act like popes without a parish.

Ep. 862 (March 3, 2026) tackles a hard subject head-on: how public influencers can sound sincere while pushing ideas that don't match the Bible. Along the way, the conversation turns to Iran, Israel, anti-war talking points, and why "America first" isn't the same as "America only." The hosts also break down how rhetorical games can hide weak arguments, then they contrast that with clear, direct teaching. You'll hear why they believe some of today's most popular commentators show the fruit of spiritual blindness, how replacement theology can shape modern politics, and why the Church often attacks the wrong targets while ignoring the real false prophecy.

A lot of Podcasters want to play "church watchdog," but who gave them that authority? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the guys tackle a heated Debate happening across Christian media right now, the push to expose leaders, broadcast scandals, and call it a "purge." Instead, this conversation draws a clear line between local church accountability and online outrage. You'll hear why public pile-ons don't restore people, why evidence can be used to mislead, and why self-appointed "investigative ministries" often create more damage than they prevent. Along the way, they break down the difference between correction and humiliation, and they challenge the idea that Podcasters can act like Apostles over the universal church. Topics covered include: Local church authority, autonomy, and accountability "Exposure culture" and why it spreads fast online Restoration, confession, and keeping things in the room Why "the broader the audience, the broader the confession" doesn't hold up Pride, spiritual posturing, and acting outside real oversight Preach the gospel, stop making exposure a full-time job If you care about healthy leadership, real repentance, and a church that builds people up instead of tearing them down, this episode will sharpen your thinking.

New York, Iran, and end-times claims are colliding fast. In Ep. 860, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland lay out why theology always turns into action, and why that matters right now. This episode tracks the headlines through a biblical lens, from rising tension with Iran to growing anti-Semitism, and then to New York City's new mayor, Mamdani. Along the way, the conversation connects Islam's end-times expectations (the Madhi, also spelled Mahdi) with the kind of deception Jesus warned about in Matthew 24.

Church scandals aren't the gospel. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the message is simple, Preach, extend real grace, and stop feeding the accusation machine. Allan and Rowland talk straight about what happens when Christian leaders fall, how "restoration" gets redefined by public opinion, and why a religious spirit loves to add conditions where God doesn't. Along the way, they break down the difference between human love (based on an object) and God's love (given because He is love). As a result, the conversation lands on a clear takeaway, forgive, restore, and let people get back to serving. This Podcast also addresses how online narratives get shaped, who controls the story, and why "investigative" content can turn into control, not accountability. From there, they call out the pattern of targeting people you disagree with, instead of dealing with doctrine in the open and leaving room for God to work. Main topics in Ep. 859:  * Why withholding love after repentance limits the Kingdom  * How "accountability" can become manipulation  * Confession, forgiveness, and what the gospel actually sounds like  * Discernment versus accusation culture  * Why the best move is to Preach and leave Chris Reed alone If you're tired of outrage-driven Christian news and want a steadier, Bible-rooted perspective, subscribe to The Smith and Rowland Show and join the daily conversation. #SmithAndRowlandShow #Podcast #ChristianPodcast #Preach #ChrisReed

When a Pastor falls, who decides they're "done"? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk candidly about failure, repentance, consequences, and what restoration really means in real church life. They start with a trust problem many people feel today, especially after public scandals. Then they take a hard look at how Christians treat "fallen" leaders, why some sins get spotlighted while others get ignored, and why people often confuse God's forgiveness with human approval. Along the way, they unpack a key idea, the consequences are often built into the sin itself, even after repentance. You'll also hear a practical breakdown of common warning signs that lead to moral collapse, including pride ("It'll never happen to me"), being too busy to stay close to God, and unhealthy boundaries with the opposite sex. The conversation stays grounded in Scripture while still being honest about what happens in the real world after a fall, including shame, self-disqualification, and the long road back.

A straight-talk Continuation on Dispensationalism and why it guards the Truth. If you want the Bible to stay clear, connected, and honest, this episode is for you. In Ep. 857 of The Smith and Rowland Show (February 20, 2026), the conversation keeps moving through "Dispensationalism: Guardian of the Truth." This isn't about chasing a new label. It's about keeping every part of Scripture in place, so the message doesn't get trimmed, twisted, or replaced. You'll hear why "old-fashioned" doesn't mean outdated, it means proven. You'll also hear why dishonor for what's "old" can slide into dishonor for Scripture itself. From there, the discussion gets practical and biblical, showing how Dispensationalism helps keep continuity across the whole Bible. Covered in this episode:  * Why Dispensationalism functions as a "guardian of the Truth"  * How God "dispenses" Truth, what the word means, and why it matters  * The classic seven administrations (innocence, conscience, human government, promise, law, grace, kingdom), plus the transitions between them  * Why Israel and the church are distinct without creating "two Gods" or "two ways of salvation"  * How labels like "Christian Zionism" get used as insults, and how a dispensational framework answers the confusion  * What "obedience to what God says" means in every era, from Noah to the present gospel If you care about reading the Bible plainly, keeping Israel in the text, and refusing to cut out hard passages, this Continuation will help you think straight and stay anchored.
