Asbury College's stand on biblical marriage has sparked a bigger conversation about faithfulness, revival, and the cost of obeying Scripture. 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. 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? 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. Watch, listen, and weigh the question for yourself, are we willing to pay the price for faithfulness? #AsburyCollege #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #BiblicalTruth #Revival #Christianity

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

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

America's identity is slipping when its history, faith, and civic memory are no longer taught, known, or respected. 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. 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. 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.

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

Jesus, covenant, failure, and restoration are at the center of this conversation. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Watch, listen, and decide for yourself where the real problem lies. #SmithAndRowland #MAGA #ConservativeCommentary #ChristianPodcast #PoliticalDiscussion

"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. 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. 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? 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. Watch the full episode and read the passage for yourself in the King James Bible.

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