The Smith and Rowland Show

Alan Smith asks a question that sits at the heart of Easter faith: have you found the risen Jesus, or do you only know the Easter story? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith looks at the resurrection of Jesus Christ through Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and 1 Corinthians 15. He shows why the empty tomb matters, why the witnesses matter, and why the risen Christ is still speaking today. This is a clear, Scripture-focused message about the life and power of the resurrection, not just the holiday. Alan walks through the first resurrection morning, the women at the tomb, the angel's message, the guards' cover-up, Mary Magdalene's grief, the road to Emmaus, Thomas in the locked room, and Paul's account of the many witnesses who saw Jesus alive. Along the way, he points to a simple but serious truth, familiarity with Scripture is not the same as receiving what God is saying right now. He also connects resurrection faith with daily life. Words matter. Forgiveness matters. A heart that keeps reaching for old wounds can miss the voice of Christ. If Jesus is alive, then His presence, His word, and His call to believe still matter today. This message is a strong reminder that the resurrection is the center of the Christian faith. Christ died for our sins, He was buried, He rose again the third day, and He was seen. That is the gospel Paul preached, and it still stands. Watch this episode if you want a grounded, Bible-based look at the resurrection and a fresh call to hear Jesus by name. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #AlanSmith #ResurrectionSunday #EasterMessage #JesusIsAlive

Russia, Israel, the West, and the restrainer all come into focus in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show. On Ep. 920, Smith and Rowland talk through the growing pressure around Bible prophecy, the rise of false peace, and the biblical meaning of "the restrainer" in 2 Thessalonians. The conversation moves from Candace Owens, Alexander Dugin, and Russian rhetoric to the larger question of how deception works when it starts with partial truth. They also dig into the pre-tribulation rapture, Paul's letters to the Thessalonians, the day of the Lord, and why the Holy Spirit is the real restraining force, not Russia. Along the way, the discussion touches Ezekiel 38, the kings of the east, Magog, Persia, and the strange way current events seem to line up with prophetic passages. This is a sharp, fast-moving episode for anyone studying end-times prophecy, dispensational teaching, Israel in prophecy, and the spiritual condition of the West. It also gets personal, with honest talk about moral decay, deception in public life, and the need for a real move of God. If you want a biblical look at the headlines, this episode brings the heat.

Aleksandr Dugin, Candace Owens, Russia, and the Antichrist all come up in this sharp, unscripted episode of The Smith and Rowland Show. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland react to the growing talk around Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin, his ideas about the West, and the way those ideas are showing up in modern media and politics. They also talk about Candace Owens' trip to Russia, the role of conservative voices, and why so many people are paying close attention to the messages being pushed from abroad. This episode goes straight into biblical prophecy, apostate Christianity, Islam, the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2, and the long-running debate over the Antichrist as a person or a system. The conversation is direct, funny, and serious at the same time, with plenty of back-and-forth on where culture, religion, and world events are headed. You'll also hear the kind of off-the-rails banter that makes this show what it is, including the now-famous "wolf rat" sponsor moment and a few sharp jabs at modern media figures. But the main focus stays on the larger question, what happens when political theory, propaganda, and end-times teaching all collide? If you care about Bible prophecy, current events, Russia, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, and the rise of false religious unity, this episode is worth your time. #SmithAndRowlandShow #AleksandrDugin #CandaceOwens #BibleProphecy #Antichrist

Jeff Rowland walks through 2 Thessalonians with one clear focus, why a young church got shaken so fast. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, we look at Paul's letter to the Thessalonians and trace the fear, pressure, and false message that caused real confusion. The teaching follows the passage step by step, using Acts 17 and both Thessalonian letters to show the setting, the urgency, and the difference between the rapture and the day of the Lord. Jeff makes a strong case for reading prophecy with context, not panic. He contrasts street-level reading with a wider view of Scripture, then shows how Paul taught new believers about Christ's return, the gathering of the saints, and the coming day of the Lord. That wider view matters, because a forged word, a false report, or a half-read verse can shake believers who are already under pressure. This message is practical for anyone who wants to understand 1 and 2 Thessalonians, end-times teaching, and how to keep a steady mind when fear rises. It also gives a clear reminder that Scripture interprets Scripture, and that the whole counsel of God gives believers the frame they need. If you want a careful, Bible-based look at Thessalonica, prophecy, persecution, and the hope of Christ's return, this conversation is for you. Watch, listen, and hold onto the context. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #JeffRowland #Thessalonians #BibleTeaching #EndTimesTeaching

John Darby, the rapture, and why the Bible still settles the debate. On this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the разговор turns to John Nelson Darby, Edward Irving, the Plymouth Brethren, and the long-running fight over dispensationalism, the pre-tribulation rapture, and replacement theology. The conversation gets straight to the point. Darby did not invent the rapture. Paul taught the Thessalonians about it right out of the gate, and the guys walk through why 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5 matter so much. They also compare Paul's teaching to Peter's message in Acts, and explain why the rapture and the second coming are not the same event. Along the way, they talk about fellowship, doctrine, and how far believers can disagree while still walking together. They also push back on the habit of turning church history into a simple story with one villain. Darby, Irving, Scofield, the Plymouth Brethren, and the old debates about word and spirit all get a fair look. If you want a real conversation about Bible doctrine, church history, pre-tribulation rapture teaching, dispensationalism, and the difference between Peter's message to Israel and Paul's message to the church, this one is for you. This episode also touches on:  * the origin of the Plymouth Brethren  * the role of John Nelson Darby  * Edward Irving and the spirit vs. word discussion  * how Christians should handle doctrinal differences  * why replacement theology is rejected here Watch through and think it through from the text of Scripture, not just the headlines people repeat about it. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #JohnDarby #Rapture #Dispensationalism #BibleDoctrine

Alan Smith takes a hard look at Acts 19, Daniel 10 and 12, and the spiritual push back that comes when truth meets false worship. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan connects Scripture to the pressure he sees in the Middle East, including Iran, and lays out why prayer, humility, and trust in God's word still matter. He warns that deception often sounds confident, polished, and certain. For that reason, he points back to the need for a teachable heart, a steady faith in Jesus Christ and him crucified, and a real love for God's word. Alan also draws a clear line between truth and love. He says a believer can reject a false system and still love the people caught in it. That theme runs through his comments on Muslims, Christian obedience, marriage, forgiveness, and how believers should respond to enemies without giving way to pride or bitterness. Acts 19 brings the message into focus. When Paul preached in Ephesus, the gospel shook the idol trade and exposed false worship tied to money, power, and public life. Alan uses that scene to explain why push back often follows real ministry. If truth is resisted, that does not always mean the message failed. Sometimes it means it hit the right target. He also revisits George Whitfield, Benjamin Franklin, and the way God uses flawed people in history. Then he turns to Daniel's vision of Michael the protector, angelic resistance, and the burden of prayer that keeps going when answers seem delayed. If you care about Bible doctrine, spiritual warfare, Acts 19, Daniel 10, Daniel 12, and honest discussion about deception and faith, this conversation gives you plenty to think about. #Acts19 #Daniel10 #Daniel12 #BibleTeaching #SpiritualWarfare

Edward Irving takes center stage in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show as the discussion turns to rightly dividing the word of truth, dispensational Bible teaching, and the legacy of the Powerscourt conferences. This conversation traces how key ideas about biblical prophecy, literal interpretation, and the return of Christ were being worked out long before they became common talking points. The discussion also follows the split between Edward Irving and John Nelson Darby, and how their different emphases helped shape later debates in the church. Irving leaned into the supernatural work of God, while Darby pressed forward with a more formal dispensational framework. Both men were part of the same historic moment, yet their paths moved in different directions. Along the way, the hosts talk about the tension between word and spirit, the place of church history, and why so many believers still wrestle with the same questions today. If you care about dispensationalism, premillennialism, the charismatic movement, or the history behind modern Bible teaching, this episode gives you a sharp and honest look at where some of these streams began. You'll also hear why a literal approach to Scripture matters, why allegory can blur conclusions, and how revival often breaks out where humble, needy people are gathered. The discussion is candid, detailed, and grounded in real church history. Watch this episode for a clear look at the roots of a debate that is still shaping churches today. #EdwardIrving #JohnNelsonDarby #Dispensationalism #BibleTeaching #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

Friday's episode of The Smith and Rowland Show gets into a lively, wide-open discussion about rightly dividing the word of truth, the Powerscourt Conference, and why dispensationalism keeps coming up in Bible study. The conversation starts with the usual mix of humor, sponsor banter, and a sharp turn into serious theology. From there, the hosts talk through John Nelson Darby, Edward Irving, the Powerscourt gatherings in Ireland, and the way those meetings helped shape modern evangelical eschatology. They also get into the question of Israel, the land, and why the restoration of Israel matters when people read prophecy literally. Along the way, the discussion touches on pre-tribulation rapture teaching, the gifts of the Spirit, and the revival atmosphere that can grow when believers gather with freedom, honesty, and a hunger for truth. The hosts also reflect on prayer meetings, church life, and what happens when people make room for the Holy Spirit without trying to control every moment. This episode is full of back-and-forth conversation, Bible references, church history, and plain talk about how truth is recovered over time. If you care about dispensationalism, end-times teaching, the Plymouth Brethren, the Catholic Apostolic Church, or the history behind today's prophetic movement, this one is worth your time. Join Jeff and Roland for another honest, unscripted conversation on scripture, church history, and the pursuit of truth. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Dispensationalism #BibleProphecy #PowerscourtConference #EndTimesTeaching

Isaiah 40 speaks straight to weary hearts, and this conversation on The Smith and Rowland Show keeps that focus clear. Jeff Rowland and the team talk about the comfort of God's people, the hope of Christ's return, and why real strength comes when believers wait on the Lord. This episode moves through the heart of biblical comfort, the meaning of church, and the call for every born-again believer to speak. A garage can become holy ground when God's People gather in Jesus' name. A testimony can carry the gospel into everyday life. And a tired soul can find strength again when it looks past this present world and holds on to the promise of God. You'll hear a strong emphasis on Isaiah 40, 1 Thessalonians 4, and the kind of comfort that lasts. The message is clear, God does not offer shallow relief. He gives hope, strength, and peace that reaches beyond temporary problems. This episode also challenges believers to bring hungry hearts, pray with purpose, and keep expecting revival. If you've ever felt worn down, dry, or unsure of your place in the church, this discussion will point you back to Scripture. It reminds us that God still meets His People, still strengthens the faint, and still calls us to wait with faith. Watch and be encouraged to keep looking up, keep speaking, and keep trusting God. #BibleTeaching #Isaiah40 #Comfort #God #ChristianPodcast

On this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation centers on one of the most important Bible study principles in Scripture, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. The discussion walks through what dispensational understanding means, why context matters, and how people often attach Bible phrases to the wrong ideas. The result is confusion. This episode keeps the focus on what the text actually says and how to handle it with care. You'll hear a clear case for taking Scripture literally, recognizing divisions in the Bible, and understanding how God has revealed Truth in stages across history. The conversation also gets into prophecy, mystery, grace, and why so many passages only make sense when they are read in their proper place. If you've ever heard "rightly dividing" used as a slogan without much explanation, this episode gives it real weight. It also addresses how easy it is to pull verses out of context and build a doctrine around them. That problem shows up again and again, so a careful reading matters. This is a strong episode for anyone interested in Bible study, dispensationalism, prophecy, and the way God's Word fits together as one continuous message. The focus stays on Scripture, not hype, and the point is simple, let the Word lead. Watch the full episode and follow the conversation as Smith and Rowland break down what it means to rightly divide the Word of Truth. #SmithAndRowlandShow #RightlyDividing #WordOfTruth #BibleStudy #Dispensationalism

Alan Smith opens a new opinion and commentary format with Jeff Rowland, and this episode takes a hard look at Spiritual Pushback through Acts 19, Daniel 10, Ephesians 6, and the story of George Whitfield. This teaching makes one clear point, when God starts moving in your life, resistance often follows. Alan breaks down why pushback is often a sign of progress, how unseen opposition shows up in prayer, decision-making, and obedience, and why believers must learn how to stand instead of retreat. You'll also hear the connection between Whitfield's life, open-air preaching, and the spread of revival. From prison ministry to the fields of Philadelphia, the message stays the same, God's word does not need perfect conditions to work. Alan also brings Benjamin Franklin into the discussion, along with the way Whitfield's influence reached far beyond the church walls. The lesson then moves into Ephesians 6 and the armor of God. Truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the word of God, and prayer all matter when spiritual pressure rises. If you've felt confusion, pressure, or resistance while trying to obey God, this message gives that experience a biblical frame. This episode is part teaching, part commentary, and part practical encouragement for anyone who wants to understand Pushback with clarity and faith.

Revival starts when I stop letting my Past define Me, and this message goes straight to that truth. In this week's conversation on The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan and Rowland talk about what Revival really is, why shame loses ground when the Word of God speaks, and how Romans 4:17 points us back to God's power to call things that are not as though they were. This Bible study brings a clear warning and a clear hope. If I keep living by memory, failure, and old wounds, I will keep agreeing with the lowest version of myself. But when I let Scripture define my identity, I begin to see what God says about me in Christ. I am called righteous. I am called holy. I am called blameless. The message also draws a sharp line between Revival and awakening. Awakening is when the lost come to life in Christ. Revival is when believers wake up again, get fresh fire, and return to obedience, worship, and hunger for God. That difference matters, because the church cannot settle for routine religion when God is calling His people higher. You'll also hear a strong warning about spiritual warfare, identity, and the battle between what should be and what is. From Luke 4 to 1 Corinthians 2:9, this teaching points back to the Word, the Spirit, and the need to stop playing games with God. Revival begins in honesty, repentance, and a renewed mind. If you've felt weighed down by shame, disappointment, or self-condemnation, this message will point you back to the hope of the gospel. God still speaks a better word over Me, and His truth is still able to bring change. Watch this full teaching and ask the Lord to renew your mind, revive your heart, and call you back into His purpose. #Revival #Past #Faith #BibleStudy #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

What does a disrespectful Church look like, and what happens when God's people stop bringing Him their best? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, the conversation turns to reverence, first fruits, and the slow habit of offering God what's left over. The talk starts light, with conference jokes and a tape measure sponsor, but it moves into a serious look at Malachi, spiritual blindness, and the way people can lose sight of honor in the house of God. The discussion pulls no punches. It covers the difference between tradition and empty religion, why the local Church still matters, and how easy it is to give our energy, time, and talent to everything else first. The hosts also talk about worship, service, giving, and the kind of heart that comes before the Lord with something worthy to offer. A powerful story about a man with no legs singing "I'd Rather Have Jesus" brings the message home. What the world may call weak can still carry real anointing when it comes from a heart that has given God its best. If you've ever thought about Church attendance, honor, worship, or what true reverence looks like in everyday life, this Podcast will challenge you. It's direct, honest, and rooted in Scripture. Watch this full episode and consider where your best is going. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Podcast #Church #Disrespectful #ChristianTalk

Alan Smith opens Acts 19 and makes a direct case for why the Gospel causes an Uproar. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, he connects Paul's message in Ephesus with the pressure believers still face today. The Gospel confronts culture, exposes idols, and calls people to real change. That truth unsettled the silver smiths in Acts, and it still unsettles comfortable religion now. Alan also ties this message to America's 250-year moment of reflection and the season of prayer and rededication now underway. He calls for a church that prays with courage, lives with conviction, and refuses to trade power for presentation. A faithful life, he says, should look like a place where God dwells. This teaching also reaches into the personal battles many believers know well. Alan talks about the places of failure, the work of the cross, and how God forms character in the very areas the enemy targets. He also points to the unseen spiritual battle behind everyday life, from Acts 19 to Daniel 10 and Ephesians 6:12. If you want a strong, Scripture-rooted conversation about the Gospel, spiritual warfare, and the call to live with clarity in a confused time, this episode is for you. Watch, listen, and take in the challenge to keep the message clear, keep the heart yielded, and keep moving when God opens a door. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Podcast #Gospel #Uproar #ChristianTeaching

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. They also talk through the rise of anti-Israel sentiment, the British Empire's long shadow, and why the current conflict with Iran feels more spiritual than political. 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 discussion is direct, sharp, and built around the Bible, not headlines alone. Watch, weigh the arguments, and compare everything with Scripture. #Antichrist #BibleProphecy #Podcast #SmithAndRowlandShow #Bible

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. If you care about the Enemy, America, prophecy, empire, and the pressure points behind world events, this episode is for you. Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself where the real pressure is coming from. #Enemy #America #Podcast #SmithAndRowland #ChristianPolitics

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. The message is plain, the warnings are serious, and the call is clear, preach the whole counsel of God. Watch now for a grounded conversation about the Church, the Blood, and the cost of leaving truth behind. #SmithAndRowlandShow #Church #Blood #Podcast #BibleTeaching

This episode pushes into hard questions about religious language in government, church responsibility, spiritual warfare, and the kind of world the next generation is walking into.

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.

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. Watch, listen, and share with someone who cares about truth, repentance, revival, and the future of the Church.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
