                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch the full episode for a direct conversation about the DSA platform, constitutional government, individual rights, national defense, and the responsibility of Christians to understand the issues and participate in the civic life of the country.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it mean to have a choice when deception, religion, politics, and prophecy shape the way people see the world?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The conversation also addresses:</p>
<p> * 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</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when God opens a door, and how should believers respond when the way forward becomes uncertain? Alan Smith examines Acts 19 through the themes of divine protection, spiritual discernment, accountability, and obedience.</p>
<p>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. Paul had a significant opportunity in Ephesus, yet wise counsel kept him from entering a dangerous situation. The account shows how God can protect His people through the guidance of fellow believers.</p>
<p>The discussion also covers:</p>
<p> * How to test teaching against Scripture instead of building faith on personality
 * Why Charles Finney's revival preaching still matters
 * How wider access to the Bible increased personal responsibility
 * Progressive revelation and reading Scripture as one unified story
 * Predestination, free will, and God's promise to conform believers to Christ
 * The meaning of baptism in the Holy Spirit as immersion into the life of Christ
 * Spiritual gifts, healing, revival, and the need for discernment
 * Why influence and anointing require accountability
 * How Acts 19 helps believers respond wisely to open doors</p>
<p>Alan encourages viewers to remain teachable, search the Scriptures personally, listen to the counsel of the body of Christ, and obey the truth God has already revealed.</p>
<p>Watch Alan Smith: Divine Protection &amp; Open Doors, then share your thoughts in the comments. What has God entrusted to you, and how are you handling the responsibility that comes with it?</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you want a straight talk conversation that mixes news, faith, politics, and Bible prophecy, this one is worth your time. The discussion is bold, practical, and full of the kind of commentary The Smith and Rowland Show is known for.</p>
<p>Watch now and hear why they believe freedom, borders, responsibility, and biblical truth are all tied together.</p>

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.
If you want a straight talk conversation that mixes news, faith, politics, and Bible prophecy, this one is worth your time. The discussion is bold, practical, and full of the kind of commentary The Smith and Rowland Show is known for.
Watch now and hear why they believe freedom, borders, responsibility, and biblical truth are all tied together.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation gets blunt fast as the hosts compare communism, socialism, and the Bible's teaching on communal living. They trace the history of the hippie movement, Woodstock, the Jesus movement, and Acts 2, then draw a hard line between Christian generosity and political systems that try to copy it without Christ.</p>
<p>The discussion also tackles a bigger question facing the country right now: when does political ideology start replacing biblical thinking? From New York politics and public policy to lawlessness, redistribution, and the role of the church, this episode lays out the argument in plain language. If you want a direct conversation about socialism, communism, the antichrist, the kingdom of God, and why these ideas keep showing up in modern politics, this one is for you.</p>
<p>You'll hear:</p>
<p>How Acts 2 is used in the conversation about communal living</p>
<p>Why the hosts see socialism and communism as imitation systems</p>
<p>What happens when political ideas start to sound spiritual</p>
<p>Why Christian charity and kingdom principles matter more than ideology</p>
<p>How this debate connects to current headlines and the future of America</p>
<p>This is a strong, unfiltered discussion about faith, government, morality, and the pressure to replace biblical truth with a political program. Watch through and think carefully about what kind of system can actually work, and what kind of heart it takes to make it work at all.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>The Smith and Rowland Show takes on a provocative question in this episode: could the push for a third temple in Israel lead to something far bigger than most people expect?</p>
<p>Jeff and Alan react to a recent prophecy news article about rising support in Israel for rebuilding the temple on the Temple Mount, including reports of temple preparation, priestly training, and sacred vessels already being made. They also connect that discussion to Ezekiel, 2 Thessalonians, Daniel, and the larger biblical timeline surrounding the tribulation, the Antichrist, and the return of Christ.</p>
<p>Along the way, they challenge some recent media claims about dispensationalism, Israel, and church history, and they make a strong case for reading Scripture literally when it speaks about the end times. The conversation also turns practical, with a look at spiritual holding patterns, worship in this generation, and why so many believers sense that something major is shifting.</p>
<p>If you follow Bible prophecy, Israel news, end-times teaching, or dispensational theology, this episode gives you a lot to think about.</p>

<p>The conversation starts with a sponsor joke about "Coffee Bean," then moves into a serious discussion about birthright citizenship, immigration, socialism, communism, campus politics, and the cultural shift that both hosts say our founders never would have recognized. They also talk about the rise of pride events in major cities, the growing influence of progressive ideology, the pressure Christians face for speaking plainly, and why the battlefield for America's future is now sitting in front of college students.</p>
<p>This episode also includes discussion of Charlie Kirk, the role of college campuses in shaping public opinion, the weakening of biblical values in American life, and the need for Christians to wake up, pray, and get back to work. The hosts don't hold back, and they connect current headlines to history, faith, and the direction of the nation.</p>
<p>If you want candid commentary on American politics, culture, faith, and the fight over ideas shaping the next generation, this episode is for you. Watch the full conversation and hear why Jeff and Alan believe the real struggle is bigger than headlines, it's about the future of the country itself.</p>

<p>In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the discussion moves from a sponsor joke about "Stopwatch" to a serious look at Asbury College, the United Methodist Church, and the pressure on Christians to compromise. The conversation gets into Asbury's legacy of revival, the 2023 move of God on campus, and why a school with a long history of biblical conviction was removed from fellowship after refusing to rewrite its view of marriage.</p>
<p>Jeff and Alan also connect this moment to a larger pattern in church life and American culture. They talk about how cultural pressure, woke ideology, socialism, and communism all push from within, while the church is often tempted to stay quiet. That leads to one central question, what does it cost to stand for truth when the approval of people, denominations, and institutions is on the line?</p>
<p>This episode also touches on Jordan Peterson, Charlie Kirk, the role of preaching, and why the gospel of Jesus Christ is still the only real hope for a lost nation. If you care about Asbury, revival, biblical authority, and the state of the church in America, this conversation is one you need to hear.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>America loses its identity when it loses its story, and this conversation gets straight to the point.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and judge the argument for yourself.</p>

<p>In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation turns to biblical literacy, public education, the rise of socialist ideas in American politics, and the growing hostility toward Israel. The hosts also discuss a recent article built around Samuel Huntington's warning that a nation can't stay united without a shared culture, history, and moral frame.</p>
<p>The discussion draws a hard line between biblical literacy and national memory. When people lose the story of Scripture, they lose the language that helped shape American law, freedom, and public life. The result shows up in classrooms, churches, elections, and the way people think about Israel and the Jewish people.</p>
<p>This episode also pushes back on replacement theology, confusion in the pulpit, and the way many churches read the Bible through personal bias instead of the text itself. If you care about the future of the church, the state of the nation, and the meaning of biblical truth, this is a conversation you need to hear.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch this teaching and hear why faithfulness matters more than applause.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Jesus, covenant, failure, and restoration are at the center of this conversation.</p>
<p>In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan and Jeff talk through Luke 22, where Jesus speaks about the new covenant in His blood, then connect it to Peter's denial, the pressure of failure, and the way the Lord restores His people. The discussion moves through Scripture with a clear focus on God's covenants with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and all who belong to Christ.</p>
<p>The heart of the message is simple. God keeps His word. His covenant is not built on human strength, and it does not depend on a perfect record. It rests on the blood of Jesus Christ. That is why the conversation about Peter matters so much. Peter failed hard, yet Jesus prayed for him, looked past the failure, and saw what was ahead.</p>
<p>The episode also touches on the difference between the old covenant and the new covenant, the meaning of forgiveness, and why the blood of Christ changes everything for the believer. If you have ever wrestled with guilt, doubt, or your own weakness, this discussion points back to the only answer that holds, God's mercy and Christ's finished work.</p>
<p>Alan and Jeff also talk about revival, the power of preaching, and why a clear view of God's covenant can stir fresh hope in the church. It is honest, grounded, and built around Scripture.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Trump's latest remarks on Israel have sparked real concern, and this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show breaks down why.</p>
<p>Alan Smith &amp; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This episode also gets into the spiritual side of the issue. Alan Smith &amp; 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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>The Smith and Rowland Show is back with a sharp, lively discussion about politics, faith, media influence, and what happens when public figures turn their voices toward MAGA, then turn on it.</p>
<p>On this Thursday, June 18, the conversation opens with a sponsor reveal in code, a running joke that sets the tone for the episode. From there, the hosts move into a wide-ranging exchange about Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, J.D. Vance, and the growing split inside the conservative world. They talk about influence, approval ratings, public trust, and why a small group can still shape a much larger audience.</p>
<p>The discussion also gets into Scripture, including Matthew 7:21, and the question of what it means when people use faith language without clear fruit to back it up. That part of the conversation is direct and blunt. The hosts press hard on the difference between sounding spiritual and actually living by the word of God.</p>
<p>They also look at the Iran conflict, the language being used around victory and loss, and how media figures frame major events for their audiences. Along the way, the episode keeps its usual mix of humor, commentary, and strong opinion.</p>
<p>If you want a no-nonsense take on MAGA, conservative media, Christian discernment, and the way political narratives are being sold right now, this episode is worth your time.</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and decide for yourself where the real problem lies.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>"Depart from Me, I Never Knew You" is one of the most serious warnings in Matthew 7, and this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show takes it head-on.</p>
<p>Jeff and Rowland walk through Matthew 7:15-23, starting with false prophets, bad fruit, and the danger of trusting outward works instead of real relationship with Christ. They also talk about the difference between a claim and a walk, the role of discernment in the church, and why fruit matters more than showy religion.</p>
<p>This conversation stays close to the text and asks hard questions. Can someone look right on the outside and still be lost? Can good works, prophecy, or religious activity hide a false heart? What does the passage really say about the people who call Jesus "Lord" but never knew Him?</p>
<p>The discussion also touches on faith, presumption, spiritual pride, and the danger of measuring people by appearances. If you want a biblical, plain-spoken look at Matthew 7 and the warning behind these verses, this episode gives you plenty to think about.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Showing up matters, because faith is never meant to stay private.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You'll hear direct teaching on:</p>
<p> * 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</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>AI, robots, and Revelation 13 come together in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show.</p>
<p>Jeff and Roland talk through the image of the beast, the false prophet, and the way modern technology makes this passage feel closer than ever. The discussion moves from Scripture to the rise of artificial intelligence, data centers, public fear around UFOs, and the growing trust people place in machines. They also read directly from Revelation 13 and break down how the text describes power, worship, deception, and the mark of the beast.</p>
<p>This is a blunt conversation with plenty of humor, but the topic is serious. The question at the center of the episode is simple: what happens when people start giving their confidence to a system that can speak, think, and influence the whole world? The hosts connect that idea to biblical prophecy, the Antichrist, and the role of the false prophet.</p>
<p>You'll also hear the back-and-forth that makes The Smith and Rowland Show so watchable, including sponsor talk, jokes, and a straight-up Bible discussion that keeps landing on Revelation 13. If you care about end-times prophecy, AI, the mark of the beast, or how current events line up with Scripture, this episode gives you a lot to think about.</p>
<p>Watch the full conversation, follow the Scripture readings, and decide where you stand on the growing role of AI in prophetic discussion.</p>

<p>Jeff and Roland talk through the image of the beast, the false prophet, and the way modern technology makes this passage feel closer than ever.

<p>This is a blunt conversation with plenty of humor, but the topic is serious.

<p>You'll also hear the back-and-forth that makes The Smith and Rowland Show so watchable, including sponsor talk, jokes, and a straight-up Bible discussion that keeps landing on Revelation 13.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Jeff Rowland examines Iran in biblical prophecy through Daniel 8, Jeremiah 49, and Ezekiel 38, with a direct look at Elam, Medo-Persia, and the end times.</p>
<p>In this episode, Jeff argues that prophecy is not limited to a single moment in history. He explains why Daniel, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel still matter today, and why their language speaks to judgment, nations, human response, and even revival. He walks through Daniel 7 and Daniel 8, then connects those visions to the region of modern Iran, the ram and the goat, and the broader pattern of empires that run through Scripture.</p>
<p>The discussion also covers Jeremiah 49 and the word against Elam, including the line, "I will break the bow of Elam." Jeff ties that passage to ancient military power, present-day regional conflict, and the idea that God's word keeps speaking across history. He also points to reports of Christian growth in Iran, dreams and visions, and the way faith spreads where open witness is restricted.</p>
<p>This is a focused look at biblical prophecy, Iran, the last days, and the conflict between human power and God's rule. If you follow prophecy teaching, Middle East events, or the books of Daniel and Jeremiah, this conversation gives you a clear framework for reading the text with care.</p>
<p>Watch closely, compare the passages for yourself, and test everything against Scripture.</p>

In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation moves from a light sponsor joke about "Globe" to a serious look at revival, persecution, and Bible prophecy.</p>
<p>The hosts discuss recent reports that thousands of mosques have closed in Iran, while more Iranians are coming to Christ. They also talk about the role of pressure, fear, and state control, and why the gospel often grows where believers suffer most. Jeremiah 49 is brought into the discussion as they connect current events in Iran with prophetic passages about Elam, modern-day Iran.</p>
<p>The episode also tackles a bigger question, how should Christians respond when persecution rises and the world seems unstable? The discussion points to prayer, desperation, and the power of God to move where preaching is blocked. Personal stories, news analysis, and biblical insight all come together in a fast-moving exchange that is both serious and surprisingly funny.</p>
<p>If you follow Bible prophecy, Middle East news, Iran, revival, or Christian commentary, this episode gives you plenty to think about. It also raises a hard truth, the spiritual battle is not waiting on the headlines. It is already underway.</p>
<p>Watch as Jeff and Allan talk through the news, the prophecy, and what may be happening behind the scenes in Iran right now.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Matthew 24 gets a hard look in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show. The discussion focuses on the abomination of desolation, the difference between tribulation and great tribulation, and why the timing in Jesus' words matters.</p>
<p>The conversation also digs into the meaning of "the elect" and "the very elect," with a strong case for reading those terms through a prophetic and Jewish context. That leads into a wider talk about Daniel, Joel, Matthew 24, Romans, Thessalonians, and the way prophecy unfolds in patterns as well as direct fulfillment.</p>
<p>Along the way, the hosts address false prophets, false christs, signs and wonders, the role of deception in the last days, and how dispensational teaching shapes the way many read end-time scripture. They also make a clear distinction between the gospel for this present age and the message tied to the tribulation period.</p>
<p>If you want a serious Bible discussion about end-times prophecy, the rapture, Israel, grace, and the elect, this episode gives you a lot to think about.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch this episode if you want a grounded, Bible-based look at the resurrection and a fresh call to hear Jesus by name.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Russia, Israel, the West, and the restrainer all come into focus in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you want a biblical look at the headlines, this episode brings the heat.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Jeff Rowland walks through 2 Thessalonians with one clear focus, why a young church got shaken so fast.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you want a careful, Bible-based look at Thessalonica, prophecy, persecution, and the hope of Christ's return, this conversation is for you.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Join Jeff and Roland for another honest, unscripted conversation on scripture, church history, and the pursuit of truth.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch and be encouraged to keep looking up, keep speaking, and keep trusting God.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This episode is part teaching, part commentary, and part practical encouragement for anyone who wants to understand Pushback with clarity and faith.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Revival starts when I stop letting my Past define Me, and this message goes straight to that truth.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch this full teaching and ask the Lord to renew your mind, revive your heart, and call you back into His purpose.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and take in the challenge to keep the message clear, keep the heart yielded, and keep moving when God opens a door.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you need encouragement, Scripture, and a reminder that God still brings freedom, this Podcast is for you.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you care about Bible prophecy, current events, and a plainspoken look at where the world may be headed, this episode is for you. The discussion is direct, sharp, and built around the Bible, not headlines alone.</p>
<p>Watch, weigh the arguments, and compare everything with Scripture.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>The real Enemy of America isn't always the one people are looking at.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you care about the Enemy, America, prophecy, empire, and the pressure points behind world events, this episode is for you.</p>
<p>Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself where the real pressure is coming from.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>The latest UFO document release has people talking, and on this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation goes straight to the hard questions.</p>
<p>Jeff and Allan react to the new government disclosures, the public debate around unidentified anomalous phenomena, and the growing claims that some sightings may be tied to fallen angels, Nephilim, and spiritual warfare. They also press into Genesis 6, the biblical view of giants, and why some believers see a connection between UFO reports and end-time events.</p>
<p>This episode doesn't stay on the surface. It moves into the tension between government transparency, Scripture, portals, demonic deception, and the Rapture of the church. The discussion is direct, biblical, and full of sharp turns as they compare modern headlines with passages from Genesis, Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation, and the words of Jesus.</p>
<p>If you're following UFO news, end-times teaching, or biblical prophecy, this Podcast gives you a clear look at how these topics connect. The hosts also explain why they believe the UFO narrative may be setting up a future explanation for the disappearance of God's people.</p>
<p>Watch for a frank, unscripted conversation that blends current events with Scripture and doesn't back away from the big questions.</p>

The discussion is direct, biblical, and full of sharp turns as they compare modern headlines with passages from Genesis, Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation, and the words of Jesus.
If you're following UFO news, end-times teaching, or biblical prophecy, this Podcast gives you a clear look at how these topics connect. The hosts also explain why they believe the UFO narrative may be setting up a future explanation for the disappearance of God's people.
Watch for a frank, unscripted conversation that blends current events with Scripture and doesn't back away from the big questions.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>A sharp conversation about Britain, empire, prophecy, and power runs through this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch the full episode and follow the thread for yourself. The questions raised here are bigger than one headline or one election, and the answers may be found where history and Scripture meet.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>The discussion starts with a mishandled sponsor intro, then turns serious fast. Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith react to a North Carolina proclamation recognizing Ramadan and talk through what that means for faith, public life, and the state of the local church. They also discuss why they believe Christians need to pay closer attention to what is happening in NC, especially when public leaders make formal statements about Islamic observance.</p>
<p>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. The hosts also talk about a recent church visit from a woman from Iran, the importance of local congregations, and why they believe some churches are being called to take a stronger stand.</p>
<p>If you follow Christian commentary, NC politics, or current events tied to religion and culture, this Podcast episode gives you a direct, unfiltered conversation.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you follow biblical prophecy, current events, and unapologetic Christian commentary, this episode gives you a lot to think about. It also keeps the usual Smith and Rowland mix of blunt talk, humor, and side comments that only these two can pull off.</p>
<p>Watch to hear the full conversation and decide for yourself whether this is just a festival, or a sign that deserves a closer look.</p>

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

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Repent, what does that really mean, and what does "the kingdom of heaven is at hand" mean for believers today?</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>This episode moves through:
The meaning of repent in John 3 and the Gospels</p>
<p>Why unbelief keeps people from entering into God's promises</p>
<p>How literal Bible reading changes the way we understand prophecy</p>
<p>What Revelation 21 says about the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven</p>
<p>Why revival in an apostate age still matters today</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>A raw, no-filter episode of The Smith and Rowland Show takes aim at the growing rage around politics, faith, and public speech.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch as they discuss:</p>
<p>* 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</p>
<p>This episode is blunt, topical, and focused on the clash between speech, belief, and consequence.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you care about church life, revival, spiritual discernment, and the way God works through real people, this episode is worth your time.</p>

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.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You'll also hear strong thoughts on:</p>
<p>* 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</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch, share, and leave a comment with your thoughts. Is the modern Church standing firm, or is it giving ground where it should not?</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and share with someone who cares about truth, repentance, revival, and the future of the Church.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You'll also hear strong insight on:</p>
<p> * 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</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and take inventory. The Time matters. The Word still works. Religious Form won't carry anyone through this hour.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Along the way, they tackle:</p>
<p> * 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</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You'll hear discussion on:</p>
<p> * 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</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and weigh it against Scripture.
Then share it with someone who cares about truth, discernment, and the last days.</p>

                <itunes:summary><![CDATA[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.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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</p>

<p>In Episode 833, Smith and Rowland talk through the rising tension with Iran, the weight of President Trump's ultimatum, and why they believe this moment has major prophetic meaning. They connect today's headlines to Jude, 1 Thessalonians 5, the great falling away in the church, and the growing confusion many believers face right now.</p>
<p>This conversation goes straight at the issues many others avoid. It covers spiritual deception, rebellion against God-ordained authority, the church's moral decline, the danger of Apostasy, and the place of Israel in Bible prophecy. It also addresses the rapture, the second coming, and why these doctrines matter in a time of global unrest.</p>
<p>Along the way, they discuss:
the threat coming out of Iran,
the spiritual battle behind the news,
the church's role in a collapsing culture,
the prophetic meaning of national realignment,
and the need for prayer, discernment, and courage.</p>
<p>If you're trying to make sense of current events through Scripture, this episode gives you a direct and serious look at where things may be heading.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>A sober Bible discussion on apostasy, delusion, and why forgetting what God has done can put a soul in real danger.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This Podcast episode covers more than surface-level church talk. It presses into the difference between deception and delusion, the willful rejection of truth, and the danger of denying what God has already shown and done. As a result, this becomes a serious Debate about apostasy, unbelief, grace, judgment, revival, the rapture, and the state of the modern church.</p>
<p>You'll hear a strong Bible-based discussion on:
Jude 11 through 13 and the pattern of apostasy
Cain, Balaam, and Korah as warnings for our time
How deception can harden into delusion
Why unbelief matters so much in Scripture
The danger of rejecting truth after once receiving it
Why believers must never forget what God has done for them
How revival, memory, and faithfulness stay connected</p>
<p>There's also reflection on Easter, God's mercy, rescue, healing, and the power of the Holy Spirit to open blind eyes again. Even in a heavy message, the hope stays clear, God can still move, save, restore, and reveal truth.</p>
<p>If you care about Bible prophecy, church discernment, spiritual warfare, revival, and end-times teaching, this episode will give you a lot to think through.</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and share with someone who needs this warning.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Arrogance or Humility, the Choice shapes more than attitude, it reveals how we handle authority, truth, and spiritual conflict.</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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"</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and weigh the message carefully. This one presses hard on the spirit of the age.</p>

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 studyMichael and Satan in Jude 1:9apostasy in the last daysspiritual authority and submissionfalse teachers in the churchMoses and the body of Mosespride vs humilitywhat 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.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and examine your own walk through the lens of Jude.</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This episode is direct, sobering, and grounded in Scripture. If you've been trying to understand Jude 8, false teachers, or how the church should respond in a time of confusion, this Bible discussion will give you a lot to think about.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Could Replacement Theology be part of the Apostasy of the Last Days? In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Jude and deal with a sobering warning the church can't afford to ignore.</p>
<p>This conversation starts light, then turns serious fast.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you've been studying Jude, Bible prophecy, false doctrine, or the spiritual condition of the church, this episode will give you a lot to think about.</p>
<p>Watch, listen closely, and share this with someone who takes the Word of God seriously.</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you've been studying Jude, end-times deception, false prophets, or the moral collapse pictured in Sodom and Gomorrah, this episode gives clear biblical context and direct application for where we are right now.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>When does Deception become Delusion? In this Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, the conversation turns urgent, biblical, and deeply personal.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>This is a serious Bible discussion, but it's also practical. If you've watched public voices shift, truth get blurred, or biblical convictions weaken in real time, this episode will give you a framework to think clearly.</p>
<p>If you're following this Jude study, this is an important one. Verse 5 opens up far more than most people expect.</p>
<p>Watch, listen, and share with someone who wants a stronger biblical view of apostasy, grace, Israel, and the last days.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>"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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch, listen closely, and let the truth of Acts 19 search your heart.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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,

<p>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.

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

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

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Are we watching the Last Day Apostacy unfold in real time? In this Podcast episode, The Smith and Rowland Show open the book of Jude and lays out a direct warning for the church.</p>
<p>This episode starts a powerful series on Jude, one of the most overlooked books in the New Testament. Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith talk through apostasy in the church, the falling away warned about in 2 Thessalonians, deceiving spirits, false teachers, and why sound doctrine still matters right now.</p>
<p>They also connect Jude to Revelation, the seven churches, and the steady drift from truth to compromise. As a result, this conversation hits hard for anyone trying to make sense of spiritual confusion, church decline, and the growing attack on biblical truth.</p>
<p>Inside this episode:
Jude as a roadmap for the Last Day church
How apostasy moves from subtle error to open denial
Why deception is more than intellectual, it's spiritual
The danger of replacing Scripture with opinion and trend
How believers can stand firm and overcome in an apostate age</p>
<p>There's also some classic Smith and Rowland humor at the start, including a memorable "real salt" sponsor bit, before the conversation turns serious and deeply relevant.</p>
<p>If you care about Bible prophecy, the church, the rapture, or the warning signs of the times, this is an episode worth hearing all the way through. This is more than a headline topic. It's a sober look at what Scripture says happens before Christ's return, and how believers are called to respond.</p>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<p> * Why the local church matters more than a vague "universal church" idea<br>
 * The difference between the Twelve Apostles and the New Testament office of apostleship<br>
 * Why real authority comes by invitation, not by barging into someone else's church problems<br>
 * How "exposing" people for clicks feeds the flesh, not the Spirit<br>
 * Why the simplest path forward still works, preach Christ, win souls, show up to church</p>
<p>You'll also hear their take on "apostolic fathers," generational pushback, and why many online critics act like popes without a parish. If you're tired of church drama content and want clarity on church authority, correction, and calling, this one's for you.</p>

                <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Apostles, Fake authority, and False "correction" online, this episode draws a hard line between local church leadership and internet-appointed watchdogs.
In Ep. 863 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Smith and Allan Rowland talk straight about the rise of self-appointed voices claiming spiritual jurisdiction they were never given. The result, they say, is predictable, public accusation that sounds spiritual, but carries the tone of the accuser.
This conversation hits several flashpoints:

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

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

<p>This episode tracks the headlines through a biblical lens, from rising tension with Iran to growing anti-Semitism, and then to New York City's new mayor, Mamdani. Along the way, the conversation connects Islam's end-times expectations (the Madhi, also spelled Mahdi) with the kind of deception Jesus warned about in Matthew 24. The goal is simple, spot the pattern, stay grounded in Scripture, and don't get numbed by the noise.</p>
<p>Topics covered:</p>
<p> * Iran, war risk, and the spiritual story behind the conflict
 * Dominionism, replacement theology, and where the ideas overlap
 * The "hidden imam" and 12ver Shiite end-times teaching
 * False prophets, discernment, and why signs and wonders require caution
 * Why Christians can't ignore Politics when leaders shape culture and public life</p>

<p>Allan and Rowland talk straight about what happens when Christian leaders fall, how "restoration" gets redefined by public opinion, and why a religious spirit loves to add conditions where God doesn't. Along the way, they break down the difference between human love (based on an object) and God's love (given because He is love). As a result, the conversation lands on a clear takeaway, forgive, restore, and let people get back to serving.</p>
<p>This Podcast also addresses how online narratives get shaped, who controls the story, and why "investigative" content can turn into control, not accountability. From there, they call out the pattern of targeting people you disagree with, instead of dealing with doctrine in the open and leaving room for God to work.</p>
<p>Main topics in Ep. 859:</p>
<p> * Why withholding love after repentance limits the Kingdom
 * How "accountability" can become manipulation
 * Confession, forgiveness, and what the gospel actually sounds like
 * Discernment versus accusation culture
 * Why the best move is to Preach and leave Chris Reed alone</p>

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

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

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Dispensationalism protects how you read Scripture and how you guard Truth. In this Introduction episode, Smith and Rowland explain why that matters now.</p>
<p>In Ep. 856 (February 19, 2026), the conversation starts with a headline moment: Doug Wilson and Tucker Carlson, and what their discussion revealed about Israel, American foreign policy, and the growing influence of replacement theology. From there, the episode locks in on the bigger issue, how people handle the Bible and why "rightly dividing" isn't optional.</p>
<p>You'll hear a clear case for Dispensationalism as a framework (not a hobby or a trend) that keeps words from changing meaning. The hosts tie that framework to the Constitution, because the same fight shows up in both places. Do we take the text as written, or do we let culture rewrite it?</p>
<p>Topics covered in this episode include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why the Doug Wilson and Tucker Carlson conversation felt one-sided</li>
<li>Dispensationalism vs. replacement theology, and why the difference isn't small</li>
<li>Why "literal" reading protects doctrine instead of flattening it</li>
<li>How "rightly divide" implies people can wrongly divide</li>
<li>Why hyper-dispensationalism distorts Truth instead of guarding it</li>
<li>How the Constitution debate mirrors the Bible debate</li>
</ul>
<p>If you care about Bible interpretation, Christian doctrine, and how theology affects real public life, this episode sets the foundation. Subscribe for the follow-up, because this is only the start.</p>

In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland break down a fast-moving Debate over whether the progressive left is legislating Christianity out of American life, one regulation at a time.</p>
<p>First, they react to examples from California, New York, and Colorado, where accreditation rules and state mandates pressure faith-based schools, camps, and adoption agencies to conform. Next, they discuss Virginia House Bill 359 and the push to treat tax credits as public funds, which can bring new control over private Christian education. Along the way, they talk about separation of church and state, vouchers, and why churches and parents must take responsibility for educating Children without trading convictions for government approval.</p>
<p>Listen for a clear warning about "small compromises" and why the "old-fashioned way" still matters when pressure keeps rising.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Are politics and faith getting blurred on live TV? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the guys react to a clip from The View and a growing Debate over "theological liberalism" versus biblical Christianity. They break down how Bible language gets used to defend public policy, especially around transgender medical procedures for minors, and why that matters for parents.</p>
<p>Next, the conversation widens to the "Save Act," voter ID, and the trust problem that follows when leaders push radical ideas while claiming moral authority. Along the way, they warn about government overreach, the pressure on families, and the long-term cost to Children caught in adult fights.</p>
<p>This Podcast episode is blunt, opinionated, and focused on one theme: protecting kids, telling the truth, and refusing to let culture rewrite the Bible.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Unity sounds great, until it turns into Uniformity. In this Podcast episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith break down the difference, then apply it to a growing ecumenical push where "unity" gets treated as the highest virtue.</p>
<p>First, they react to a covenant between church leaders and the claim that every division is a sin. Next, they compare that claim to what Scripture actually teaches, because some divisions are commanded and some convictions can't be traded away. Along the way, they talk about where real Christian Unity starts (the blood of Christ), why signed documents don't create spiritual agreement, and how "unity" can get used as pressure to compromise on salvation and the gospel.</p>
<p>If you care about Bible authority, discernment, and the line between cooperation and compromise, this episode lays it out plainly.</p>

In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the guys break down why the NFL and other pro leagues now act like activist groups, not just sports leagues, and why that shift matters for Christians and conservatives.</p>
<p>They compare the Super Bowl spectacle to Rome’s games, talk through the “battlefield” inside big-time sports, and explain why expecting any political group to run a worship service sets you up for disappointment. You’ll also hear a clear take on voting, why it isn’t a sacrament, and why expectations need to match what an organization is built to do.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Is the Church facing an Epidemic of Immaturity? In Ep. 847 of The Smith and Rowland Show (February 4, 2026), Allan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk about what happens when pulpits stop calling sin, sin, and why that choice produces shallow faith, weak discipline, and fragile believers.</p>
<p>This episode connects spiritual growth to emotional maturity, then gets practical about daily obedience (Scripture, prayer, self-discipline) as the steady path forward. They also share the “fast track” to maturity, sacrifice, laying down self-interest, serving others, and even laying down personal vision when God calls for it.</p>
<p>Watch for a direct conversation on:</p>
<p> * Why avoiding the word “sinner” waters down truth
 * How milk vs. meat shows up in real church life
 * Why daily Bible reading matters, even when you don’t “feel” results
 * How emotional instability ties back to spiritual drift
 * Why sacrifice forms Christlike character faster than comfort ever will</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>When “sinner” becomes offensive, something deeper is going on. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff and Alan talk about Theology vs. Ideology, and how people build belief systems that excuse what Scripture calls sin. They connect it to Genesis, the danger of speaking for God with “God doesn’t expect…,” and why watered-down preaching leaves people unprepared for real spiritual conflict.</p>
<p>This Podcast also gets practical, how culture shifted from reverence for the Lord’s Day to Sunday as “our day,” and how that change followed years of small compromises.</p>

In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Jeff and Alan push back on claims that dispensationalism “rose and fell,” and explain why they believe it never fell because truth doesn’t fall.</p>
<p>They talk through where dispensational thinking shows up in Scripture, why clear preaching mattered to the old-timers, and how modern voices are trying to make “dispensationalist” sound like a dirty word. The conversation also connects the debate to end-times basics (Israel and the church, the rapture, literal interpretation) and why these ideas keep spilling into politics and foreign policy.</p>
<p>If you care about Bible interpretation, prophecy, and why this argument keeps resurfacing, this one lays out the fault lines with no vague language and no fluff.</p>

<p>Alan and Jeff lay out Dispensationalism as a framework for reading Scripture, not a competing “theology.” They also share two guiding principles for interpretation: when God speaks, it becomes settled truth, and “three includes one and two,” using Matthew 22’s invitations as a simple way to picture shifts across biblical history.</p>
<p>The conversation also clears up common confusion about salvation, stressing one way of salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ, while discussing how God’s instructions and promises unfold through time. The episode closes by tackling “replacement theology,” sorting out what people mean by the term, and why Israel’s promises, land, kingdom, and future role still matter in their reading of the Bible.</p>

<p>You’ll hear clear points on literal Bible interpretation, replacement theology concerns, and why the Israel and church distinction matters in Old Testament promises like land, nationhood, temple, and kingship.
