Asbury Punished for Believing The Bible - Ep. 934 - June 29, 2026

Asbury Punished for Believing The Bible - Ep. 934 - June 29, 2026

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.

Biblical Identity Equals Spiritual Increase - Ep. 933 - June 25, 2026

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

Will America Forget Her Story & Lose Her Identity? - Ep. 932 - June 24, 2026

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.

Alan Smith: Cost of an Open Door - Ep. 931 - June 23, 2026

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

God's Covenant & My Failure - Ep. 930 - June 22, 2026

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.
