Is Communism Replacing Christianity? - Ep. 938 - July 6, 2026

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. 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. You'll hear: How Acts 2 is used in the conversation about communal living Why the hosts see socialism and communism as imitation systems What happens when political ideas start to sound spiritual Why Christian charity and kingdom principles matter more than ideology How this debate connects to current headlines and the future of America This is a strong, unfiltered discussion about faith, government, morality, and the pressure to replace biblical truth with a political program.

Could It Be The Unified Islamic & Jewish Temple? - Ep. 937 - July 2, 2026

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? 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. 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. If you follow Bible prophecy, Israel news, end-times teaching, or dispensational theology, this episode gives you a lot to think about.

On this July 4th episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith take on the state of America with humor, hard questions, and a sharp look at where the country is headed. 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. 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.

If you want candid commentary on American politics, culture, faith, and the fight over ideas shaping the next generation, this episode is for you.

Asbury Punished For Believing The Bible - Part 2 - Ep. 935 - June 30, 2026

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

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.
