The Smith and Rowland Show

What does it mean to recognize, ordain, and equip the ministry God has placed within every believer?

In Episode 978 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland introduce the next chapter for Kingdom Prophetic Society and discuss the biblical purpose of ordination. They examine how believers can identify their spiritual gifts, respond to God's call, and take their place in the work of the ministry.

The conversation covers:

 * The founding and future direction of Kingdom Prophetic Society
 * The role of apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists in equipping the saints
 * Why every believer has a ministry and a spiritual gift
 * The connection between calling, recognition, ordination, and spiritual empowerment
 * Biblical examples of ordination in Exodus, Acts, John, Numbers, and Mark
 * The importance of prayer, fasting, public recognition, and the laying on of hands
 * How the church can recognize and support ministries of preaching, teaching, worship, intercession, helps, and discipleship
 * The planned fellowship of ministries within Kingdom Prophetic Society

Alan and Jeff also discuss the difference between claiming a ministry for yourself and allowing the body of Christ to recognize the work God has placed in your life. They share why ordination should be treated with reverence and how it can help believers become more aware of their assignment and responsibility in the Kingdom.

What does Acts 20 teach us about false teachers, Christian ministry, and the growing discussion around Noahide laws?

In Part 2 of his commentary, Alan Smith examines Paul's warning to the elders at Ephesus and explains why every believer has a place in ministry. Service isn't limited to pastors, evangelists, or well-known Christian leaders. Practical help, encouragement, hospitality, and faithful support are all ways to serve the body of Christ.

The discussion then turns to false teaching, including the danger of voices that rise within the church and draw disciples after themselves. Alan considers how motive, pride, and claims of secret spiritual knowledge can distort the gospel. He also addresses Gnosticism and explains why spiritual maturity comes through knowing Christ and responding to the Holy Spirit, not through exclusive revelation or hidden knowledge.

A major focus of this episode is the Noahide laws. Alan reviews their traditional connection to Jewish writings, the moral requirements often associated with them, and the role of courts in enforcing those laws. He raises concerns about how these teachings may affect the message of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, while making a clear distinction between criticism of a doctrine and opposition to Jewish people or Israel.

The central message remains the cross of Christ. Moral laws cannot replace the blood atonement, and no system of rules can provide the forgiveness and acceptance found in Jesus. Watch this episode for a careful biblical commentary on Acts 20, Christian service, false teaching, Gnosticism, Noahide laws, grace, and the gospel.

What happens when religious teaching places believers under fear, control, or burdens that Christ never intended? Alan Smith examines false teachers, spiritual freedom, and the Noahide laws through the lens of Scripture.

In this September 16, 2026 episode of Opinion & Commentary's, Alan focuses on Jesus' words in John 8:31-32: those who continue in His word will know the truth, and the truth will make them free. He explains why freedom from sin comes through Christ, not through religious systems or human traditions.

The discussion also covers:

 * The difference between a relationship with God and religious bondage
 * The new birth and the Holy Spirit's guidance
 * Paul's warning in Acts 20 about false teachers and "grievous wolves"
 * How Gnosticism shifts attention from Christ's atoning sacrifice toward secret knowledge
 * The Noahide laws, their connection to Talmudic tradition, and why definitions and penalties matter
 * The importance of testing every teaching, private revelation, and religious claim against Scripture
 * Why the blood atonement of Jesus Christ remains central to the gospel

Alan's central argument is that believers must examine teachings carefully, especially when added traditions claim authority equal to or greater than the Bible. He encourages viewers to study the sources, compare claims with Scripture, and keep Jesus Christ and His sacrifice at the center of faith.

Is socialism compatible with Christianity, or does it replace personal charity, ownership, and responsibility with government control?

In Part 2 of "Is Socialism Christian?", Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine the differences between biblical generosity and socialist economics. They discuss the voluntary giving described in Acts 2 and Acts 5, the biblical view of private property, and why Christian charity begins with the heart rather than government force.

The conversation also addresses:

 * Why Christianity identifies sin as humanity's deepest problem, not economic class
 * How socialism changes personal responsibility and ownership
 * The connection between property rights, accountability, and authority
 * Why Christians are called to care for their neighbors directly
 * What "outsourcing your love of neighbor" means
 * The role of contentment, work, family, and personal responsibility
 * How political ideas can conflict with biblical teaching
 * Why the hosts believe the upcoming midterm election deserves serious attention
 * The importance of remembering the sacrifices made by those who fought communism and socialism

Smith and Rowland also discuss the biblical kingdom of God, the difference between Christ's government and human political systems, and why Christians should examine political promises through the lens of Scripture.

Can socialism sound Christian while contradicting biblical teaching? In Episode 976 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine the arguments that connect socialism with Christian compassion, charity, and care for the poor.

The discussion compares Christianity as a transformed way of life with socialism as a political and economic system. The hosts address biblical commands to help widows, orphans, strangers, and people in genuine need, while also explaining why compassion alone doesn't settle the question of government ownership, forced redistribution, or economic policy.

They also discuss:

 * Why Acts 2 is often cited in arguments for Christian socialism
 * The difference between voluntary giving and government compulsion
 * Whether America already operates with elements of socialism
 * The church's responsibility to care for the poor and homeless
 * How a literal view of biblical prophecy affects Christian political thought
 * The coming kingdom of Christ and why it differs from modern political systems
 * The economic claims made by socialist politicians
 * The relationship between Christianity, socialism, Islam, and government power

Smith and Rowland argue that Christians need to understand both Scripture and the political systems they support. The episode also examines how confusion over biblical interpretation can lead Christians to treat socialism as a required expression of faith.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, Jeff Rowland and Sir Alan Smith reflect on the attacks that changed America, the lives lost, and the lessons the country still needs to remember.

In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the hosts discuss where they were when the first plane struck, how 9/11 reshaped national security and American unity, and what younger generations may miss when they learn about the tragedy only through history.

The conversation also examines the rise of political extremism, socialism, religious freedom, border security, public criticism, education, and the role of the church in teaching truth and preserving historical memory. Jeff and Alan consider whether America has learned from 9/11, why the nation feels more divided than it did in the aftermath of the attacks, and why they believe spiritual renewal and a return to the fundamentals of the gospel are necessary.

This episode includes strong political and religious opinions, along with a tribute to the nearly 3,000 people killed on September 11, 2001, the first responders, military members, and families who continue to live with the consequences.

Watch, remember, and consider what 9/11 still means for America 25 years later.

Charlie Kirk's faith, courage, and influence remain central to this special episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, recorded one year after his assassination.

Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland remember Kirk's commitment to Jesus Christ, his work with Turning Point USA, and the message he wanted people to associate with his life: faith above all else. The hosts discuss how Kirk communicated biblical truth with clarity, defended freedom on college campuses, and spoke with conviction while still showing grace and respect toward those who disagreed with him.

The conversation also examines Kirk's early decision to found Turning Point USA at just 18 years old, his self-education, his political influence, and the responsibility carried by an organization with hundreds of staff members. The hosts reflect on the worldwide response to his death, the reported increase in Bible sales, renewed interest in church, and the challenge of continuing his mission.

This episode also addresses criticism from within organizations and churches, the danger of allowing constant attacks to destroy constructive work, and the biblical warning about opposition that comes from within. The discussion closes with thoughts on freedom, government, personal responsibility, and President Trump's proposed $5,000 dividend for American adults.

Remember Charlie Kirk for the stand he took, the truth he proclaimed, and the faith he wanted to leave behind.

Texas is at the center of a major political and spiritual debate, and the hosts of The Smith and Rowland Show argue that the outcome could affect the direction of the entire country.

In Episode 973, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine the Texas Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico, focusing on Talarico's public statements about sex, gender, immigration, faith, and the Bible. They question whether his recent comments reflect a genuine change in position or a shift aimed at winning the Democratic primary and appealing to Texas voters.

The conversation also covers the Republican midterm convention planned for Dallas, the growing political influence of Texas, migration from other states, and the tension between progressive politics and Christian teaching. The hosts describe Texas as a key battleground, both politically and spiritually, and call for prayer, intercession, biblical clarity, and renewed engagement from the church.

They also discuss the perceived spiritual blindness affecting American culture, the biblical period between Malachi and Matthew, the idea of a future falling away from the faith, and the need to recognize what they believe God is revealing through current events.

Whether you agree with their conclusions or not, this episode raises serious questions about Texas, national politics, religious identity, and the future of conservative Christianity in America.

Can medication, postpartum mental illness, and spiritual oppression help explain the Lindsay Clancy case, and where does personal responsibility begin?

In Episode 972 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland discuss the mistrial in the case involving Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of killing her three children. They examine the role of postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis, mental illness, prescription medication, and the legal standard for accountability when a person's judgment may be severely impaired.

The conversation also considers how Christians should respond to cases involving tragedy, trauma, alleged spiritual influence, and criminal responsibility. Smith and Rowland explain why they oppose the death penalty in this case while still supporting court supervision, secure treatment, spiritual counseling, and protection for the public.

They also question whether the medical and psychiatric systems properly evaluated Clancy's condition, including the reported use of numerous medications over a short period. The discussion raises difficult issues about informed care, altered states of consciousness, substance use, criminal law, and the limits of both psychiatric treatment and religious counsel.

This episode presents the hosts' religious perspective on a disturbing case and does not replace legal, medical, or mental health advice. The Lindsay Clancy case remains a matter for the courts, and claims about diagnosis, medication, intent, and spiritual influence require careful evidence and professional evaluation.

Watch the full discussion for Smith and Rowland's perspective on mental illness, faith, justice, and the responsibility to protect both vulnerable people and the wider community.
