    Repent of What? - Ep. 897 - April 29, 2026

    Repent, what does that really mean, and what does "the kingdom of heaven is at hand" mean for believers today? On this special edition of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland take a hard look at repentance, unbelief, revival, and the literal meaning of the kingdom message preached by John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles. They also wrestle with a big question, if Scripture says the kingdom is at hand, how much of God's glory can a believer experience right now? This episode moves through: The meaning of repent in John 3 and the Gospels Why unbelief keeps people from entering into God's promises How literal Bible reading changes the way we understand prophecy What Revelation 21 says about the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven Why revival in an apostate age still matters today The conversation is sharp, funny, and direct, with plenty of back-and-forth on biblical interpretation, end-times teaching, and the danger of turning plain Scripture into something else. If you care about the Bible, revival, the kingdom of God, and the question of what John meant by "at hand," this episode gives you a lot to think about. Watch as Alan and Jeff press into the real issue behind the message of repentance, not just sin in general, but unbelief in God's promise, God's power, and God's kingdom.

    The Kingdom of God Is At Hand: What Does This Mean? - Ep. 896 - April 28, 2026

    John the Baptist's message still cuts straight through the noise: "Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand." In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation traces that statement back through Matthew, Isaiah, Daniel, and the covenants God made with Israel. The discussion stays focused on the big question, what did John mean, and why does it matter now? Jeff and Alan walk through the Davidic covenant, the Abrahamic covenant, and the opening of the New Testament, showing how Scripture connects the promise of a coming King with the hope of God's rule on the earth. They also talk about Isaiah 40, the voice crying in the wilderness, and why John the Baptist's ministry lines up with that prophecy. This Podcast doesn't treat the phrase "the Kingdom of heaven is at hand" as a small detail. It treats it as a central message. The hosts explain why John called people to repent, how that message was tied to prophecy, and why Jesus later preached the same words in Matthew 4:17. They also address how the Old Testament background shapes the way we read the Gospels, and why those details matter for Bible students today. If you've ever wondered what the Kingdom message meant in the days of John the Baptist, or why these passages keep coming up in prophecy discussions, this episode gives you a clear place to start. It also brings the conversation into practical terms, with a strong focus on what God said, what He promised, and what He intends to reveal. Watch the full episode and follow the thread through Scripture, covenant, prophecy, and the Kingdom message that still speaks today. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Podcast #KingdomOfGod #BibleStudy #JohnTheBaptist

    The Attempted Assassination of a President & The Great Apostasy - Ep. 895 - April 28, 2026

    A raw, no-filter episode of The Smith and Rowland Show takes aim at the growing rage around politics, faith, and public speech. In this Podcast, the hosts react to the attempted assassination of a President, the media firestorm around it, and the deeper question of how rhetoric can shape real-world action. They also dig into the language people use when they talk about power, respect, Christianity, and the way Bible verses get twisted to fit a personal agenda. The conversation moves fast. It starts with the absurdity of a sponsor joke about toenail clippers, then shifts into serious territory, including the White House Correspondents Dinner, the attack attempt tied to that political climate, and the manifesto left behind by the suspect. The hosts push hard on one point, words matter, and a culture built on contempt can spill into dangerous places. They also make a direct connection between public speech and spiritual decline, warning that Apostasy can hide inside religious language, political outrage, and online influence. If you care about Christian discernment, political commentary, and where America's public square is headed, this episode goes there without softening the edges. Watch as they discuss: * The attempted assassination and the public reaction * Why respect for office and life matters * How political rhetoric fuels division * The role of Christian language in extreme behavior * The idea of Apostasy in today's culture This episode is blunt, topical, and focused on the clash between speech, belief, and consequence. #SmithAndRowland #Podcast #President #Apostasy #ChristianCommentary

    How Far Will God Go To Prove A Point? - Ep. 894 - April 24, 2026

    When God sends someone into a church, the assignment matters. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan and Jeff talk through a recent visit from Marzy, an Iranian-born Christian whose story carried far more than a personal testimony. It raised a serious Point about what God may be saying to New Life right now. The discussion centers on discernment, church leadership, and the danger of missing what God is trying to say through an unexpected guest. Alan and Jeff connect Marzy's background, her message, and the timing of her visit to a larger call for the church to wake up, pay attention, and respond in faith. They also talk about how spiritual messages often carry practical and even political weight, especially when the topic touches Iran, religious freedom, persecution, and the urgent need for believers to stay alert. This Podcast goes straight into questions that matter for any church that believes God is still moving, still speaking, and still sending people with a purpose. If a guest comes with a message, what should leadership do with it? How do you tell the difference between a normal visit and a direct word from the Lord? And what happens when a church receives an invitation to renewal but doesn't recognize it? Marzy's testimony, as shared in the conversation, includes her conversion to Christianity, imprisonment in Iran, and her work now as a speaker and advocate for persecuted believers. That background gives this episode real weight, because it pushes the conversation beyond opinion and into conviction. If you care about church life, revival, spiritual discernment, and the way God works through real people, this episode is worth your time. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Podcast #God #ChurchRevival #ChristianPodcast

    The Beliefs of The Deconstruction Movement of The Church - Ep. 893 - April 23, 2026

    What happens when the Church starts reshaping God to fit culture, opinion, and comfort? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland take on the hard issue of Deconstruction in the Church and the Beliefs behind it. This conversation gets straight to the point. They discuss why churches fall away, why pastors stop preaching on disputed subjects, and how rebellion against God's Word opens the door to apostasy. They also talk about the pressure points hitting the modern Church, including cultural secularization, political division, online church culture, celebrity pastors, moral compromise, and spiritual laziness in the pulpit. Alan and Jeff connect today's Deconstruction movement to biblical warnings about the great falling away in 2 Thessalonians and Jude. They challenge the idea that faith should be rebuilt around personal taste, public pressure, or a softer image of God. Instead, they call believers back to truth, sound doctrine, repentance, and courage in preaching. You'll also hear strong thoughts on: * why some churches are changing their Beliefs without saying so * how silence from the pulpit weakens the Church * why livestreams have value, but can't replace faithful gathering * how rebellion against godly authority prepares people to accept deception * why this moment calls for bold preaching, not retreat There is humor throughout, as always, but the message is serious. If you've been concerned about the state of the Church, the rise of Deconstruction, or the loss of biblical conviction in Christian spaces, this episode speaks to that head-on. Watch, share, and leave a comment with your thoughts. Is the modern Church standing firm, or is it giving ground where it should not?

    Characteristics of The Apostate Church - Ep. 892 - April 22, 2026

    What does an Apostate Church look like in real time? In this episode, The Smith and Rowland Show tackles the Characteristics of apostasy that are reshaping the modern Church. This conversation gets straight to the point. Jeff Smith and Allan Rowland talk about falling church attendance, changing doctrine, deconstruction in major denominations, and the growing confusion over biblical authority. They also address hard issues that many churches avoid, including homosexuality, hell, women in church leadership, and the loss of sound doctrine. At the center of this episode is one clear message: when people lose their understanding of Scripture, they start reaching the wrong conclusions. Because of that, the Church doesn't just drift on one issue, it drifts on many. This episode explains why context matters, why dispensational Bible teaching matters, and why preaching the Word still matters more than ever. There is also hope in this discussion. While the warning signs are serious, the answer is still the same, preach the Word, know the Word, and refuse to ignore what is happening in front of us. Smith and Rowland don't soften the subject, but they also don't give up on revival. If you've been watching the culture shift and wondering why so many churches are changing, this episode will help put words to what you're seeing. Watch, listen, and share with someone who cares about truth, repentance, revival, and the future of the Church.

    The Great Apostasy & Deconstructing Christianity - Ep. 891 - April 21, 2026

    Apostasy, Deconstruction, and the state of Christianity take center stage in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show. Smith and Rowland open with humor, then move straight into a serious and timely discussion about the great apostasy, the deconstruction movement, and why so many people now challenge biblical authority. They talk about what happens when self replaces Scripture, why truth gets redefined, and how churches drift when they try to match the culture instead of obeying God. This episode also tackles hard issues inside the modern church, including spiritual apathy, compromise in leadership, and the loss of discernment. As the conversation builds, they examine whether Deconstruction starts with honest pain, rebellion against truth, or disappointment with stale religion. They also ask whether the church itself helped create the conditions for this crisis by offering form without life, tradition without fresh bread, and activity without real spiritual power. If you've been concerned about Apostasy in the church, confused by the rise of Deconstruction in Christianity, or burdened by what looks like spiritual sleep across the body of Christ, this conversation gets right to the point. Smith and Rowland connect current events, church trends, biblical authority, spiritual warfare, and the growing pressure to bend Christian belief to fit modern culture. This is a strong episode for pastors, church leaders, believers, and anyone trying to understand why so many are walking away from historic Christianity, while others are trying to rebuild faith on their own terms. Watch, share, and join the conversation. More from the ministry: https://www.kingdompropheticsociety.org  #Apostasy #Deconstruction #Christianity #BibleTruth #TheSmithAndRowlandShow
