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

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. Watch, listen, and take in the full conversation on The Smith and Rowland Show. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #BibleTeaching #NewCovenant #CovenantOfBlood #ChristianPodcast

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.

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.

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.

The False Prophets Against MAGA - Ep. 928 - June 18, 2026

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 - Ep. 927 - June 17, 2026

"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.
