Jeff Rowland: Why Is The Thessalonica Church So Shaken? - Ep. 918 - June 4, 2026

Alan Smith: Finding The Resurrected Jesus - Ep. 921 - June 9, 2026

Alan Smith asks a question that sits at the heart of Easter faith: have you found the risen Jesus, or do you only know the Easter story? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith looks at the resurrection of Jesus Christ through Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and 1 Corinthians 15. He shows why the empty tomb matters, why the witnesses matter, and why the risen Christ is still speaking today. This is a clear, Scripture-focused message about the life and power of the resurrection, not just the holiday. Alan walks through the first resurrection morning, the women at the tomb, the angel's message, the guards' cover-up, Mary Magdalene's grief, the road to Emmaus, Thomas in the locked room, and Paul's account of the many witnesses who saw Jesus alive. Along the way, he points to a simple but serious truth, familiarity with Scripture is not the same as receiving what God is saying right now. He also connects resurrection faith with daily life. Words matter. Forgiveness matters. A heart that keeps reaching for old wounds can miss the voice of Christ. If Jesus is alive, then His presence, His word, and His call to believe still matter today. This message is a strong reminder that the resurrection is the center of the Christian faith. Christ died for our sins, He was buried, He rose again the third day, and He was seen. That is the gospel Paul preached, and it still stands. Watch this episode if you want a grounded, Bible-based look at the resurrection and a fresh call to hear Jesus by name. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #AlanSmith #ResurrectionSunday #EasterMessage #JesusIsAlive

Who Is The Restrainer? - Ep. 920 - June 8, 2026

Russia, Israel, the West, and the restrainer all come into focus in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show. On Ep. 920, Smith and Rowland talk through the growing pressure around Bible prophecy, the rise of false peace, and the biblical meaning of "the restrainer" in 2 Thessalonians. The conversation moves from Candace Owens, Alexander Dugin, and Russian rhetoric to the larger question of how deception works when it starts with partial truth. They also dig into the pre-tribulation rapture, Paul's letters to the Thessalonians, the day of the Lord, and why the Holy Spirit is the real restraining force, not Russia. Along the way, the discussion touches Ezekiel 38, the kings of the east, Magog, Persia, and the strange way current events seem to line up with prophetic passages. This is a sharp, fast-moving episode for anyone studying end-times prophecy, dispensational teaching, Israel in prophecy, and the spiritual condition of the West. It also gets personal, with honest talk about moral decay, deception in public life, and the need for a real move of God. If you want a biblical look at the headlines, this episode brings the heat.

Aleksandr Dugin & The Antichrist - Ep. 919 - June 5, 2026

Aleksandr Dugin, Candace Owens, Russia, and the Antichrist all come up in this sharp, unscripted episode of The Smith and Rowland Show. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland react to the growing talk around Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin, his ideas about the West, and the way those ideas are showing up in modern media and politics. They also talk about Candace Owens' trip to Russia, the role of conservative voices, and why so many people are paying close attention to the messages being pushed from abroad. This episode goes straight into biblical prophecy, apostate Christianity, Islam, the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2, and the long-running debate over the Antichrist as a person or a system. The conversation is direct, funny, and serious at the same time, with plenty of back-and-forth on where culture, religion, and world events are headed. You'll also hear the kind of off-the-rails banter that makes this show what it is, including the now-famous "wolf rat" sponsor moment and a few sharp jabs at modern media figures. But the main focus stays on the larger question, what happens when political theory, propaganda, and end-times teaching all collide? If you care about Bible prophecy, current events, Russia, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, and the rise of false religious unity, this episode is worth your time. #SmithAndRowlandShow #AleksandrDugin #CandaceOwens #BibleProphecy #Antichrist

Jeff Rowland: Why Is The Thessalonica Church So Shaken? - Ep. 918 - June 4, 2026

Jeff Rowland walks through 2 Thessalonians with one clear focus, why a young church got shaken so fast. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, we look at Paul's letter to the Thessalonians and trace the fear, pressure, and false message that caused real confusion. The teaching follows the passage step by step, using Acts 17 and both Thessalonian letters to show the setting, the urgency, and the difference between the rapture and the day of the Lord. Jeff makes a strong case for reading prophecy with context, not panic. He contrasts street-level reading with a wider view of Scripture, then shows how Paul taught new believers about Christ's return, the gathering of the saints, and the coming day of the Lord. That wider view matters, because a forged word, a false report, or a half-read verse can shake believers who are already under pressure. This message is practical for anyone who wants to understand 1 and 2 Thessalonians, end-times teaching, and how to keep a steady mind when fear rises. It also gives a clear reminder that Scripture interprets Scripture, and that the whole counsel of God gives believers the frame they need. If you want a careful, Bible-based look at Thessalonica, prophecy, persecution, and the hope of Christ's return, this conversation is for you. Watch, listen, and hold onto the context. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #JeffRowland #Thessalonians #BibleTeaching #EndTimesTeaching

Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth: John Darby - Ep. 917 - June 3, 2026

John Darby, the rapture, and why the Bible still settles the debate. On this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the разговор turns to John Nelson Darby, Edward Irving, the Plymouth Brethren, and the long-running fight over dispensationalism, the pre-tribulation rapture, and replacement theology. The conversation gets straight to the point. Darby did not invent the rapture. Paul taught the Thessalonians about it right out of the gate, and the guys walk through why 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5 matter so much. They also compare Paul's teaching to Peter's message in Acts, and explain why the rapture and the second coming are not the same event. Along the way, they talk about fellowship, doctrine, and how far believers can disagree while still walking together. They also push back on the habit of turning church history into a simple story with one villain. Darby, Irving, Scofield, the Plymouth Brethren, and the old debates about word and spirit all get a fair look. If you want a real conversation about Bible doctrine, church history, pre-tribulation rapture teaching, dispensationalism, and the difference between Peter's message to Israel and Paul's message to the church, this one is for you. This episode also touches on:  * the origin of the Plymouth Brethren  * the role of John Nelson Darby  * Edward Irving and the spirit vs. word discussion  * how Christians should handle doctrinal differences  * why replacement theology is rejected here Watch through and think it through from the text of Scripture, not just the headlines people repeat about it. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #JohnDarby #Rapture #Dispensationalism #BibleDoctrine
