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.

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
