Podcast appearances and mentions of Alan Smith

This is a disturbing trend that is happening weekly, if not daily: a man kills his entire family and then himself. 44-year-old Alan Smith was reportedly kicked out of his Billings, Montana home, but came back with a gun during dinner and murdered his sister, her four children, his parents and his 90-year-old grandmother in a wheelchair. He then set the home on fire and took his own life as police were approaching. In the middle of his rampage, his 12-year-old niece was able to call 9-1-1, where dispatchers heard gunfire in the background. Unfortunately, it was too late by the time police arrived, and unfortunately this summer has proven to be among the deadliest in family mass shootings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alan Smith, a member of the advisory board for the cause of soon-to-be Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, joins the Son Rise Morning Show to continue exploring Sheen's reflections on the Holy Hour. Drawing from Lord, Teach Us to Pray and the writings of St. Peter Julian Eymard, Smith reflects on Sheen's meditation on the Eucharist as “the Need of Our Heart.” The discussion centers on three powerful themes: Christ's presence, His generosity, and our union with Him. The Eucharist is not merely a reminder of Jesus or a gift that He gives us—it is Jesus Himself, waiting for us in the tabernacle and offering us His merits, His grace, and ultimately His very self. Smith and the Son Rise Morning Show also explore how Eucharistic devotion transforms us into disciples: we become what we adore. Through time spent with Christ in Eucharistic prayer and Holy Hours, we are gradually drawn into deeper union with Him and formed to become more like Him.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alan Smith joins Matt Swaim to explore Fulton Sheen’s wisdom on bringing prayer into the ordinary moments of everyday life. Drawing from Lord, Teach Us to Pray and the teachings of St. John Henry Newman, they discuss how to offer, sanctify, and complete our daily work—and how time spent with Christ in the Mass and Holy Hour prepares us to recognize Him and bring His presence into our families, workplaces, and the world.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Where does your allegiance lie when faith, comfort, and personal preference pull in different directions? In Episode 959 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith examines Christian loyalty, the meaning of allegiance, and the visible commitments that should shape a believer's daily life. He considers whether Christians treat faith as a firm covenant with God or as one preference among many. Alan discusses the Pledge of Allegiance, the history of Francis Bellamy, and the three pledges once common in Bible school ceremonies: allegiance to the American flag, the Christian flag, and God's Holy Word. He also addresses the freedom to remain silent during the pledge and explains why loyalty to the United States doesn't require blind support for every government decision. The conversation turns to church life and Christian outreach, including the bus ministry associated with Jack Hyles. That story raises a difficult question for every congregation: Do we want church growth only when it remains comfortable and familiar? Alan also examines Paul's warnings about false teaching in Acts 20 and Colossians. A church may continue using the name of Jesus while allowing other beliefs and priorities to crowd out the cross. Biblical allegiance requires faithfulness to God's Word, active service, personal obedience, and commitment through hardship. This message invites viewers to examine their own loyalty to Christ. Is your allegiance visible in your relationships, church membership, prayer, public decisions, and response to God's truth? Consider the challenge presented in this episode, then test every point against Scripture.

Can missiles defeat a nation whose military strategy is driven by end-times theology? In Episode 958 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith examine Iran's belief in the coming Mahdi and what that belief may mean for the conflict with the United States and Israel. The discussion focuses on the connection between theology, military decisions, and national strategy. If Iranian leaders view chaos, suffering, and escalating conflict as signs that prophecy is unfolding, conventional deterrence may not produce the results many expect. Military losses and economic pressure could strengthen their resolve rather than bring them to the negotiating table. Jeff and Alan also discuss:  * The role of Twelver Shiite theology in Iran's government and Revolutionary Guard  * Why Iran's religious convictions affect how it responds to war and sanctions  * The limits of missiles, air campaigns, blockades, and political negotiations  * The possibility of a spiritual awakening among the Persian people  * The difference between the Islamic expectation of the Mahdi and the Christian hope of Jesus Christ's return  * Why Christians need to understand their own biblical theology and pray with greater clarity The conversation also addresses prophecy, deception, radicalization, the persecution of Iranian citizens, and the challenge of responding to an ideology that views bloodshed as part of a divine plan. Watch the full episode and consider how theology shapes international conflict, national decisions, and the way the church should respond. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Iran #BibleProphecy #EndTimes #ChristianCommentary

The pledge of allegiance has faded from many churches and schools, but what does that loss say about loyalty, faith, and the values we pass on? In Episode 957 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith discuss the three pledges that once shaped daily life for many Americans: the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag, the pledge to the Christian flag, and the pledge to the Bible. The conversation examines the meaning of a pledge as a serious promise of loyalty, the history behind the words "under God," and the connection between national allegiance and Christian faith. Jeff and Alan also discuss the Christian flag pledge, the authority of God's Word, the importance of teaching biblical truth, and the need for churches to return to sharing the gospel. The hosts challenge pastors, church leaders, and believers to consider whether allegiance is still being taught and practiced. They also reflect on the call to stand for faith, honor the principles of the United States, and remain loyal to Jesus Christ. This episode includes a special mention of Vacation Bible Schools of America and the importance of bringing the pledges back into church and Bible school settings. Watch the full discussion and share your thoughts: Should churches regularly recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the Christian flag pledge, and the pledge to the Bible?

Can the church remain silent while America faces political division, immigration concerns, cultural change, and a growing crisis of Christian leadership? In Episode 956 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland begin with plenty of humor, including a bizarre "Back Alley Medicine" sponsor bit, before turning to serious questions about the church's role in public life. The discussion covers birthright citizenship, border security, political Islam, Democratic Socialism, developments in Michigan, the future of the Democratic Party, and the relationship between current events and biblical prophecy. Smith and Rowland also examine Russia's relationship with Islamic nations, Israel's place in end-times prophecy, the tribulation period, and the need to interpret Scripture within its proper dispensational context. Their central concern is the church's retreat from public responsibility. They argue that Christian leaders have allowed biblical principles, patriotism, and constitutional values to fade from public conversation, leaving the nation vulnerable to political and religious movements they believe conflict with America's founding principles. This episode offers a direct look at the hosts' Christian, conservative perspective on immigration, national identity, church leadership, Israel, prophecy, and the state of America. Viewers are encouraged to weigh the claims, examine the biblical passages discussed, and consider whether the church is prepared to speak clearly in a time of national uncertainty. Watch until the end for Smith and Rowland's call for spiritual revival, renewed courage, and a church willing to address difficult issues instead of avoiding them. #SmithAndRowland #ChristianCommentary #BiblicalProphecy #ChurchAndCulture #AmericanPolitics

What does it mean for the church to be "bewitched," and who is the one true Seed of Abraham? In Episode 955 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine Galatians 3 and Paul's warning to believers who had been drawn away from the truth. They discuss how spiritual deception can move people away from faith and grace and back toward legalism, religious control, and reliance on works. The conversation also addresses replacement theology and the distinction between Israel, the church, Abraham's descendants, and Jesus Christ. Galatians 3 identifies Christ as the promised Seed of Abraham, while the blessings promised to the Gentiles come through faith in Jesus, not through the church replacing Israel. Alan and Jeff also consider what it means for Christians to live by faith, recognize the difference between genuine spiritual work and fleshly performance, and remain grounded in the Word of God. Along the way, a humorous story about puppies, a preacher with "dog discernment," and an unusual sponsorship gives the episode plenty of personality. This Bible study continues through Galatians 3, including:  * The warning, "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you?"  * Law versus the hearing of faith  * Grace, legalism, and spiritual deception  * The church's responsibility to believe and follow the Bible  * Abraham's faith and righteousness  * The meaning of Abraham's Seed  * Why Jesus Christ is not the church, but the promised Seed  * Israel's continuing place in God's promises  * The difference between God's dispensations and replacement theology Open your Bible to Galatians 3 and follow along with this important discussion about faith, grace, Israel, the church, and the promises of God. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Galatians3 #BibleStudy #ReplacementTheology #ChristianFaith

Turkey's growing regional ambitions, claims over Jerusalem, and ties to Russia raise serious questions about biblical prophecy and the rise of the Antichrist. In Episode 953 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine Turkey's Ottoman revival under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. They discuss Turkey's military presence in former Ottoman territories, the conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque, Erdogan's statements about Jerusalem, and his goal of becoming a leader of the Muslim world. The conversation also connects current events involving Turkey, Russia, Iran, China, Israel, and the Middle East with passages from the Bible concerning the end times. The hosts consider whether Iran is the main focus or part of a larger conflict involving the nations that will move against Israel. Beyond geopolitics, this episode addresses the responsibility of Christians during a time of war and uncertainty. Smith and Rowland emphasize the need to preach the gospel, share faith with others, and keep Jesus Christ at the center of the Church's message. Topics include:  * Turkey's Ottoman ambitions and regional expansion  * Erdogan's claims regarding Jerusalem  * Hagia Sophia and the religious legacy of the Ottoman Empire  * Turkey, Russia, Iran, China, and the Middle East  * Biblical prophecy concerning Israel and the nations  * The Antichrist and the possible role of a Muslim leader  * The power of the gospel in Muslim nations  * Why Christians must remain focused on Jesus Christ Watch the full episode, then share your thoughts in the comments.

What happens when pastors bring progressive politics into the pulpit and then seek public office? Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith examine the theology and political message of Kansas pastor Adam Hamilton and Texas legislator James Talarico. In Episode 952 of The Smith and Rowland Show, the hosts discuss the authority of Scripture, biblical inerrancy, same-sex relationships, climate activism, immigration, racial justice, and the growing influence of progressive Christianity in public life. They argue that modern cultural opinions must not replace the Bible as the final authority for Christian belief and practice. The conversation also addresses the difference between showing compassion toward people and approving conduct that Scripture identifies as sinful. Jeff and Alan stress the importance of repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and the redemption found through Jesus Christ. They also consider the risks of presenting political priorities as central expressions of Christian faith. The discussion closes with a comparison to former pastor and U.S. Representative Mark Harris, whom the hosts describe as an example of a pastor serving in government while maintaining biblical convictions. This episode includes commentary on:  * Adam Hamilton's campaign for the U.S. Senate in Kansas  * James Talarico's public Christian identity and political views  * Biblical authority and the doctrine of Scripture's inerrancy  * Progressive Christianity and the United Methodist Church  * Same-sex relationships and the church's response  * Climate activism, creation, and idolatry  * The role of pastors and Christians in political life  * Compassion, repentance, forgiveness, and redemption Watch, consider the arguments, and share your perspective in the comments.

What happens when political ideology, faith, and America's future collide? In Episode 951 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith examine the rise of Democratic Socialism and debate whether its goals point toward expanded government, anarchy, or communism. The conversation begins with plenty of humor, including a sponsorless episode, a rejected toilet paper advertisement, and a "journey of faith" to keep the show going. From there, the discussion turns serious as Jeff and Alan respond to Democratic Socialist proposals involving the presidency, the Senate, the Pentagon, ICE, and prisons. They also discuss:  * The changing identity of the Democratic Party  * The influence of socialism and communism on college campuses  * How political divisions are affecting families and churches  * The spiritual dimension of government, lawlessness, and national decline  * Tom MacDonald's song "The Devil Is a Democrat"  * The impact of nonstop news and growing public sadness  * Why Jeff believes America needs a return to gospel preaching and soul winning  * God's protection of Israel and the limits of political power Throughout the episode, Jeff and Alan speak from a Christian, conservative perspective while urging viewers to pay attention to the direction of the country. They argue that political change alone can't restore America, and that real renewal must begin with faith, truth, and the preaching of the gospel.

What happens when people answer before they listen? Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine how interruption, assumptions, and spiritual interference can distort truth and damage relationships. In Episode 950 of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation begins with plenty of humor before turning to Proverbs 18:13: "He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him." Smith and Rowland discuss why people often reach conclusions before they understand the subject, especially when personal opinions, religious language, political beliefs, or past offenses shape the conversation. They also consider the difference between hearing words and receiving truth. A person may reject a message because of anger, suspicion, preconceived ideas, or a lack of willingness to learn. The discussion connects this problem to spiritual discernment, the "fiery darts" described in Ephesians 6:15-16, and the need to recognize confusion before it turns into lasting conflict. The episode covers:  * Why interrupting someone can reveal an unteachable spirit  * How premature judgment affects the church and personal relationships  * The role of the Holy Spirit in teaching truth  * How suspicion can carry from one conversation into the next  * Why believers should examine what they hear before reacting  * The connection between communication, spiritual warfare, and cultural division  * The importance of continuing to preach truth, even when people refuse to listen Along the way, Alan and Jeff share personal examples, discuss loyalty and forgiveness, and challenge viewers to slow down, listen carefully, and test their assumptions before passing judgment. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalTruth #SpiritualDiscernment #Proverbs1813

What happens when churches replace biblical hymns with messages shaped by modern identity politics? On Episode 948 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine the growing debate over worship, church culture, biblical authority, and the meaning of Christian identity. The conversation begins with Tom McDonald, Christian faith in the marketplace, and whether believers should bring their authentic testimony into music, sports, work, and public life. The hosts discuss rap, artistic expression, performance, and the tendency to judge certain forms of music while praising others as "anointed." They then turn to the article "Hymnal Replacement Theology," which describes pride-themed hymns, rainbow symbols in worship spaces, trans baptisms, and rainbow communion bread. Smith and Roland compare these practices with historic Christian teaching on baptism, communion, marriage, repentance, and redemption. The episode also addresses how gradual changes in language and Bible interpretation can alter a church's doctrine over time. Topics include replacement theology, replacement ideology, revised definitions, new Bible translations, the ordination of gay pastors, and the question of whether churches can change biblical standards while still claiming Christian authority. This discussion is direct, controversial, and focused on the central question: Should Christian worship and doctrine follow Scripture, or should they adjust to cultural pressure?

Why are American Jews divided over Israel, and what does that division reveal about the role of faith, politics, and national identity? In Episode 946 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith discuss an article examining why some American Jews support politicians and policies that criticize Israel, oppose Zionism, or call for reduced US support. They consider the differences between religious, secular, cultural, and politically affiliated Jewish identities, along with the contrast between American Jews and Israeli Jews. The conversation also addresses the distinction between criticizing an Israeli prime minister and questioning Israel's right to exist as a Jewish homeland. Jeff and Alan connect these debates to divisions within Christianity, including the tension between personal faith, political loyalty, biblical authority, and public policy. The hosts also discuss:  * How political identity can shape views on Israel  * Why religious conviction and cultural identity don't always align  * The history of internal conflict during the Roman siege of Jerusalem in AD 70  * Divisions within the church and the impact of political factionalism  * Christian perspectives on Israel, biblical prophecy, and the Middle East  * The ongoing war involving Iran and the limits of military power  * Why the hosts believe political arguments often replace biblical reasoning With humor, candid reactions, and an unscripted discussion, Jeff and Alan examine a difficult subject that continues to divide Jewish, Christian, and political communities.

What happens when biblical beliefs are labeled as "hate speech"? Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine the growing pressure on Bible-believing Christians and warn how social labels can become legal and social restrictions. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation begins with plenty of humor, including Alan's new house-building project, two unusual sponsors, toilet plungers, and chair yoga. The discussion then turns to a serious report about a Finnish parliamentarian who faced legal consequences over written and social media statements supporting the biblical definition of marriage. Allan and Jeff examine how Christian teachings are being classified as offensive, harmful, or dangerous in parts of Europe and North America. They discuss the possibility of hate speech laws affecting pastors, churches, employment, travel, professional licensing, public office, and the ability to speak freely from the pulpit. The hosts also address the response within the church, including apathy, complacency, progressive theology, and the danger of remaining silent while religious freedom narrows. They compare current events with historical examples involving Christians under the Roman Empire, the French Revolution, and communist regimes. This episode raises important questions about the First Amendment, censorship, biblical marriage, religious liberty, political ideology, and the responsibility of Christians to stand firmly on Scripture.

The Democratic Socialists of America have put their agenda in writing, and the proposals raise serious questions about America's constitutional system, elections, military policy, immigration, and religious freedom. On Episode 942 of The Smith and Rowland Show, the discussion examines claims that the DSA has grown into a significant political force, with candidates winning Democratic primaries across the country. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland address proposals to abolish the U.S. Senate, reduce the role of the Electoral College, place Congress in control of the executive and judicial branches, shorten the workweek, reduce military spending, and expand government-funded programs. The conversation also focuses on why the founders created separate branches of government, how the Senate protects state representation, and what could happen if majority rule replaces constitutional checks and balances. The hosts discuss the risks of concentrated political power, the role of America's military as a deterrent, and the effect of reduced Christian participation in elections and public debate. They also examine the influence of college campuses, the silence of many church pulpits, the relationship between socialism and replacement theology, and the controversy surrounding the Democratic Socialists of America's position on Israel.

What does it mean to have a choice when deception, religion, politics, and prophecy shape the way people see the world? In Episode 941 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith examine rising antisemitism, the role of Israel in biblical prophecy, and the spiritual confusion surrounding Judaism, Islam, and apostate Christianity. Their discussion centers on 2 Thessalonians 2, the "strong delusion," the man of sin, and the warnings Scripture gives about rejecting truth. The conversation also addresses:  * Why antisemitism continues to blame a small Jewish population for global problems  * How biblical prophecy describes Israel's future and the significance of Jerusalem  * Why Christians are called to preach the gospel to Jews and Muslims rather than hate them  * The difference between deception, illusion, and delusion  * God's response to people who repeatedly reject truth  * Free will, personal responsibility, temptation, and the ability to choose God  * Why God's promises to Israel shouldn't be reassigned to the church  * The connection between religious beliefs, geopolitics, and current conflicts  * The future revival Scripture says will take place in Israel Jeff and Alan also bring their usual humor to the broadcast, including an unexpected discussion about air fresheners, dairy farms, and the rush of potential sponsors. The central message is clear: circumstances, temptation, blindness, or delusion don't remove personal responsibility. Every person still has a choice, and the Word of God provides the standard for making it.

Alan Smith examines Acts 19 through the themes of divine protection, spiritual discernment, accountability, and obedience. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan offers an opinion piece on a teaching from Acts 19 and explains why open doors are also tests of character.

On this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland take a sharp, funny, and biblical look at the rising threat of communism, democratic socialism, and the way replacement ideas keep showing up in American politics. The conversation starts with a laugh, then moves straight into a serious question, why are so many politicians and activists selling policies that sound compassionate on the surface, but don't add up when you look at the math, the history, and the results? Allan and Jeff break down how terms get swapped, how socialism gets packaged as mercy, and why promises of free rent, free food, and free everything always run into the same wall, reality. They also connect the current headlines to Scripture, talking about biblical prophecy, the role of nations, the Tower of Babel, theocracy, and how anti-God systems keep trying to imitate what belongs to God. Along the way, they address President Trump's comments about communism being the greatest threat to America, the growing influence of socialist candidates in major cities, and the real-world fallout that follows when government tries to play the role of provider.

The Smith and Rowland Show takes on a troubling headline in this episode, as Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland discuss Asbury Theological Seminary being removed from the United Methodist approval list after refusing to abandon the Bible's teaching on marriage. This conversation goes beyond one school and one decision. The guys walk through Asbury's long history of revival, including major spiritual outpourings on campus in 1905, 1908, 1921, 1950, 1958, 1970, 1992, 2006, and the widely discussed 2023 Asbury outpouring. They also talk about what made those moments stand out, prayer, confession, repentance, worship, reconciliation, and a hunger for God's Word. Along the way, Alan and Jeff confront the larger drift inside the United Methodist Church, the pressure to conform biblical convictions to culture, and the growing conflict between Scripture and modern ideology. Their discussion is direct, plainspoken, and rooted in the conviction that Christians should stand on the authority of God's Word, no matter the cost. If you care about revival history, biblical conviction, church doctrine, and the future of the American church, this episode is one you'll want to hear all the way through.

America loses its identity when it loses its story, and this conversation gets straight to the point. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith talk about biblical literacy, replacement theology, anti-Semitism, and why the Bible matters to the health of a nation. They connect current events, church teaching, and public policy to one central issue, whether people still understand the story that shaped America and the biblical view of Israel. The discussion starts with a look at an article on national identity, then moves into the dangers of replacing history with a new narrative. The conversation also touches on New York politics, the rise of anti-Israel rhetoric, and the wider impact of teaching that weakens the church's view of Scripture. Jeff and Alan make the case that when the church loses clarity, the culture follows. They also talk about why dispensational Bible teaching matters, why understanding Scripture is different from simply memorizing it, and why the parable of the sower points to more than just hearing the Word. Growth comes with understanding, and that point drives the whole episode. If you care about biblical truth, the future of the church, and the connection between Scripture and national identity, this episode is worth your time. Watch, listen, and judge the argument for yourself. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #BiblicalIdentity #DispensationalTruth #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast

Acts 19 shows that an open door is never free. When God gives access, He also gives responsibility, pressure, and a call to stay faithful. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith teaches from the book of Acts with Paul's letters placed right back into the Acts period. That approach brings clarity to Paul's message and helps connect the history, the teaching, and the mission in a way that's easy to follow. Lesson 118 focuses on Acts 19, "The Cost of an Open Door." Alan walks through a line-by-line Bible study that keeps the attention on Scripture, not opinion. He shows how Paul's ministry moved forward because God kept opening doors, even when the next step was all he was given. This teaching also looks at the riot in Ephesus, where truth collided with money, idols, and public pressure. The city's massive theater, the crowd's confusion, and the warning signs around Paul all point to a serious lesson, influence brings accountability. Even strong leaders need counsel, and even a clear calling still requires wisdom. Alan also draws out a needed warning for believers today. Speculation is not discernment. Strong emotion is not the Holy Spirit. A crowd can shout for hours and still have no real understanding of what is true. That lesson matters in a church, in a family, and in the age of constant noise. If you've ever prayed for an open door, this message will challenge the way you think about it. God's access comes with obedience, steadiness, and a readiness to keep moving when the path isn't fully lit. Watch this teaching and hear why faithfulness matters more than applause. #Acts19 #BibleStudy #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #AlanSmith #BibleTeaching

Trump's latest remarks on Israel have sparked real concern, and this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show breaks down why. Alan Smith & Jeff Rowland react to the growing debate over America's support for Israel, Trump's public criticism of Israel's handling of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the wider question of where U.S. policy is headed next. They also push back on the rising support for socialism in America, the way public leaders handle disagreements, and why some issues should never be aired out in front of the whole world. The conversation gets blunt fast. The hosts talk about Israel's long history of surviving war, exile, and repeated attacks, then explain why they believe Israel's security cannot be tied to any one political leader. They also dig into the real danger of civilian shields, the role of Hezbollah, and the pressure that comes with war in Lebanon, Gaza, Ukraine, and Iran. This episode also gets into the spiritual side of the issue. Alan Smith & Jeff Rowland discuss biblical prophecy, America's relationship with Israel, and why replacement theology still matters in today's public debates. If you care about Israel, U.S. foreign policy, Bible prophecy, or the direction of American politics, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Watch now for a sharp, unfiltered discussion on Israel, Trump, socialism, war, and prophecy. #Israel #Trump #BibleProphecy #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #EndTimes

Showing up matters, because faith is never meant to stay private. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith teaches from Acts 19 and lays out a hard truth, when Christ changes a person, that change reaches the home, the workplace, the church, and the public square. The uproar in Ephesus shows what happens when the gospel confronts idols, money, pride, and false worship. This lesson also presses on the gap between knowing and doing. It challenges the habit of treating Bible knowledge as the finish line, and it calls believers to simple faithfulness, service, and obedience. Alan Smith also draws a clear line between real revival and untamed zeal, using James Davenport as a warning that passion without wisdom can go off course. You'll hear direct teaching on:  * why showing up in the body of Christ matters  * how Acts 19 exposes idols tied to money, work, and status  * why the gospel changes people before it changes culture  * how to think about lost people with truth and compassion  * why courage and restraint both matter in public conflict This is a message for anyone who wants a clearer view of Acts 19 and a more honest look at daily Christian life. If your faith never disturbs the idols around you, this teaching asks a serious question about what you're following.

Nick sits down with Alan Smith, the founder and CEO of Capital Partners, to strip away the dry spreadsheets of traditional wealth management and focus on the human side of financial freedom.  Alan argues that true wealth isn't just about collecting assets, but about defining your "freedom number"—the exact, personalised amount needed to fund your ideal lifestyle without future financial worry.  By prioritising personal values, family dynamics, and a clear perfect average day framework over basic investment returns, the duo reveals how business owners can reverse-engineer their exit goals, protect their families, and enter future negotiations with unshakeable confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS True wealth planning should start years before an exit by calculating a highly personalised "freedom number" based on your ideal life, rather than relying on arbitrary round figures. Traditional wealth management prioritises asset gathering and standard returns, but effective planning shifts the focus to what the money is actually for, including family security and lifestyle design. Success should be reverse-engineered by mapping out a sustainable, ideal daily routine—such as a perfect Tuesday—and determining the exact economic resources required to fund it continuously. Knowing your exact financial requirements allows you to enter business exit negotiations with absolute conviction, an established walk-away number, and a minimised risk of leaving millions on the table. BEST MOMENTS "As much as I can help a founder build a more valuable company, I'm not an expert in the wealth side of things. And the best way to look at this is... you've got to have a plan around that."  "If you really distill it all down, what we're all looking for, I believe, is financial freedom. Financial independence. A work-optional lifestyle."  "It's not a day you're sitting on the beach drinking piña coladas all day... it's got to be a day that you'd be happy to repeat for the rest of your life, every day."  "So many of winning the game when you sell to a sophisticated buyer is posturing... and you've got to be able to compete before you can win."

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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. This Podcast also takes on hard issues that many avoid. The conversation covers the rise of apostate Christianity, the influence of Islam, the spiritual battle behind public deception, and the growing apathy inside the church. Smith and Rowland connect current events to the condition of the modern church and call believers to wake up, return to the Word of God, and preach the gospel without compromise. You'll also hear their strong warning about public scandal culture online, the effect it has on young believers, and how it can feed the Deconstruction of Christianity instead of building faith. This is a serious, direct discussion for Christians who still believe the Bible is true from cover to cover. If you've been concerned about where the church is headed, this episode puts those concerns on the table. If you've seen churches soften truth, blur doctrine, or stop speaking with clarity, this conversation will hit home. Watch, listen, and share with someone who needs a clear call back to Scripture.

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

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. Watch, share, and join the conversation. #Iran #BibleProphecy #SpiritualWarfare #EndTimes #SmithAndRowlandShow
