Iran & The Great Apostasy - Ep. 833 - April 7, 2026

Iran, Apostasy, and the book of Jude come into sharp focus in this urgent Podcast episode of The Smith and Rowland Show.

In Episode 833, Smith and Rowland talk through the rising tension with Iran, the weight of President Trump's ultimatum, and why they believe this moment has major prophetic meaning. They connect today's headlines to Jude, 1 Thessalonians 5, the great falling away in the church, and the growing confusion many believers face right now.

This conversation goes straight at the issues many others avoid. It covers spiritual deception, rebellion against God-ordained authority, the church's moral decline, the danger of Apostasy, and the place of Israel in Bible prophecy. It also addresses the rapture, the second coming, and why these doctrines matter in a time of global unrest.

Along the way, they discuss:
the threat coming out of Iran,
the spiritual battle behind the news,
the church's role in a collapsing culture,
the prophetic meaning of national realignment,
and the need for prayer, discernment, and courage.

If you're trying to make sense of current events through Scripture, this episode gives you a direct and serious look at where things may be heading.

Danger Zone: Never Forget What God Has Done For You - Ep. 882 - April 6, 2026

A sober Bible discussion on apostasy, delusion, and why forgetting what God has done can put a soul in real danger.

In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation turns to Jude 11 and the hard warning it gives the church. Smith and Rowland walk through the way of Cain, the error of Balaam, and the gainsaying of Korah, then connect those patterns to the spiritual confusion many believers see today.

This Podcast episode covers more than surface-level church talk. It presses into the difference between deception and delusion, the willful rejection of truth, and the danger of denying what God has already shown and done. As a result, this becomes a serious Debate about apostasy, unbelief, grace, judgment, revival, the rapture, and the state of the modern church.

You'll hear a strong Bible-based discussion on:
Jude 11 through 13 and the pattern of apostasy
Cain, Balaam, and Korah as warnings for our time
How deception can harden into delusion
Why unbelief matters so much in Scripture
The danger of rejecting truth after once receiving it
Why believers must never forget what God has done for them
How revival, memory, and faithfulness stay connected

There's also reflection on Easter, God's mercy, rescue, healing, and the power of the Holy Spirit to open blind eyes again. Even in a heavy message, the hope stays clear, God can still move, save, restore, and reveal truth.

If you care about Bible prophecy, church discernment, spiritual warfare, revival, and end-times teaching, this episode will give you a lot to think through.

Watch, listen, and share with someone who needs this warning.

Arrogance vs. Humility - Your Choice - Ep. 881 - April 3, 2026

Arrogance or Humility, the Choice shapes more than attitude, it reveals how we handle authority, truth, and spiritual conflict.

In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland continue their study through Jude and land on one of the most striking verses in the chapter, Michael the archangel refusing to bring a railing accusation against Satan and saying, "The Lord rebuke thee."

From there, the conversation opens up in a serious and practical way. They connect Jude 4, 8, 9, and 10 to the marks of apostasy, the danger of pride in spiritual talk, and the difference between fleshly boldness and godly Humility. They also discuss false teachers, authority, Moses' body, spiritual warfare, and why careless accusation can say more about our own hearts than we think.

This episode is for anyone trying to read Jude with clarity and apply it to church life today. If you've ever heard people speak lightly about rebuking Satan, attacking leaders, or using spiritual language with pride, this message gets right to the heart of it. Arrogance sounds strong, but Humility stands under God's authority. That's the Choice in front of all of us.

Topics in this episode include:
Jude Bible study
Michael and Satan in Jude 1:9
apostasy in the last days
spiritual authority and submission
false teachers in the church
Moses and the body of Moses
pride vs humility
what it means to say, "The Lord rebuke thee"

Watch, listen, and weigh the message carefully. This one presses hard on the spirit of the age.

Apostasy Authority and Sonship - Ep. 880 - April 2, 2026

Apostasy rarely starts with a loud denial of truth. It starts small, through unbelief, pride, rebellion, and a slow rejection of Authority. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation moves straight into Jude and tackles how Apostasy grows in the church, in ministry, and in the heart.

Alan Smith, Jeff Rowland, and guest Joel Goddard talk through Jude's warning signs, including murmuring, complaining, false grace, defiling the flesh, and resisting God-given Authority. They also unpack how Sonship shapes the way we respond to correction, covering, and obedience. This is a serious and honest discussion about spiritual drift, prophetic influence, leadership, and what it means to stay in the place God assigned.

Along the way, they cover:
how grace gets twisted into permission to sin,
why leaving your place of Authority brings real danger,
how pride can corrupt gifting,
why Sonship and submission are tied together,
and how Jude speaks with striking clarity to the church right now.

There's humor at the start, but the heart of this episode is weighty. If you've wrestled with rebellion, church leadership, spiritual pride, or the fear of slowly drifting from truth, this conversation will give you a lot to think about.

Watch, listen, and examine your own walk through the lens of Jude.

Who are the Creepers of Jude 8? - Ep. 879 - April 1, 2026

Who are the Creepers in Jude 8, and why does Jude warn the church so strongly about them? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation gets straight to the heart of apostasy, false teachers, spiritual authority, and what the Bible says about the last days.

Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Jude 8 and connect it to Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot, Abraham's intercession, the rapture of the church, and the growing danger of replacing truth with error. They also talk about how false teaching slips into the church, how grace gets twisted into permission for sin, and why rebellion against God-given authority is such a serious mark of deception.

Along the way, they discuss:
the warning signs of apostasy in the church,
what Jude means by dreamers and Creepers,
how Lot reflects compromise in an evil culture,
why Abraham's prayer for Sodom still speaks to us now,
how spiritual authority is ignored and attacked,
and why the doctrine of the rapture matters so much in the last days.

This episode is direct, sobering, and grounded in Scripture. If you've been trying to understand Jude 8, false teachers, or how the church should respond in a time of confusion, this Bible discussion will give you a lot to think about.

Watch through to the end, because this sets up the next part of the series on the identifiable marks of those who creep in unaware.

Could Replacement Theology Be The Apostasy of The Last Days? - Ep. 878 - March 31, 2026

Could Replacement Theology be part of the Apostasy of the Last Days? In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Jude and deal with a sobering warning the church can't afford to ignore.

This conversation starts light, then turns serious fast.

In Episode 878 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff and Alan dig into the book of Jude and talk about unbelief, false teaching, moral compromise, and the danger of replacing what God has clearly said. Along the way, they connect Israel in the wilderness, the fallen angels, and Sodom and Gomorrah to a pattern Jude lays out for the Last Days.

They also take a hard look at Replacement Theology and why it matters so much. This isn't treated like a side issue. Instead, they show how replacing Israel, replacing God's order, or replacing biblical truth can lead straight into Apostasy.

This episode gets personal, too. Both men openly reflect on areas of unbelief in their own lives, especially when God's leading doesn't line up with human logic. Because of that, the discussion feels honest, weighty, and very real.

Inside this episode:
Jude's warning about unbelief and judgment,
how Apostasy starts in the mind and ends in the flesh,
why Replacement Theology is tied to a broader replacement mindset,
how false teachers turn grace into permission for sin,
and why discernment matters more than ever in the Last Days.

If you've been studying Jude, Bible prophecy, false doctrine, or the spiritual condition of the church, this episode will give you a lot to think about.

Watch, listen closely, and share this with someone who takes the Word of God seriously.

Sodom & Gomorrah: Example of Today's Apostasy in the Church - Ep. 877 - March 30, 2026

What happens when Jude points to Sodom and Gomorrah as a warning for the church? In this episode, The Smith and Rowland Show takes a hard look at Apostasy, false teaching, sexual immorality, and the judgment tied to rebellion against God's truth.

Smith and Rowland walk through Jude 6 and 7 and connect the passage to Israel's unbelief, the angels that left their first estate, and the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah. As they unpack the text, they show how Apostasy doesn't begin at the end, it starts with murmuring, complaining, unbelief, and a steady drift away from God's order.

This conversation also tackles the role of false teachers, the corruption of grace, and why biblical truth is often rejected when it directly confronts sin. In addition, they discuss how these issues show up in the modern church, in the pulpit, and across today's culture.

If you've been studying Jude, end-times deception, false prophets, or the moral collapse pictured in Sodom and Gomorrah, this episode gives clear biblical context and direct application for where we are right now.

Watch through to the end, then share this with someone who needs a sober, Scripture-first look at Apostasy in the church.

The Apostasies' Supernatural Origins - Ep. 876 - March 25, 2026

What happens when Apostasy stops looking like a trend and starts showing its spiritual roots? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland continue their study through Jude and focus on verse 6, where the warning turns sharply toward the supernatural Origins of falling away.

This conversation connects Jude 6, 2 Peter 2, Genesis 6, and the broader battle over how Scripture should be read. Smith and Rowland take on major issues head-on, including the difference between a literal and allegorical view of the Bible, the reality of hell, the rebellion of fallen angels, and why unbelief can open the door to deception and delusion.

Along the way, they also tie these themes to the condition of the modern church, the rise of false teaching, and the growing pressure to redefine what God has plainly said. As a result, this episode pushes past surface-level commentary and gets to the heart of why Apostasy spreads, how it gains power, and why Jude's warning still matters right now.

If you're following this series through Jude, this is a key episode. It adds weight, context, and urgency to the warning signs many believers are seeing in the church and in the culture.

Watch through to the end, then be ready for the next step in the study as the discussion moves into Jude 7.

Does Deception Equal Delusion? - Ep. 875 - March 24, 2026

When does Deception become Delusion? In this Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, the conversation turns urgent, biblical, and deeply personal.

In Episode 875, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland continue their study through Jude and press into a hard question: what happens when deception goes unchecked? They draw a sharp line between Deception of the mind and Delusion of the spirit, then connect that warning to apostasy, unbelief, and the growing rejection of God's truth in the church and culture.

This episode also tackles major issues head-on, including replacement theology, dominion theology, kingdom now teaching, anti-Semitism, and God's covenant purposes for Israel. As they work through Jude verse 5, they argue that last-days apostasy doesn't just come from outside the church. It creeps in quietly, then spreads through false teaching, pride, and spiritual blindness.

Along the way, they discuss:
how apostasy enters the church
the difference between deception and delusion
why unbelief matters more than most people think
why Israel remains central in biblical prophecy
how replacement theology distorts grace
why political ideas often grow out of theological beliefs
how last-days error prepares the way for deeper blindness

This is a serious Bible discussion, but it's also practical. If you've watched public voices shift, truth get blurred, or biblical convictions weaken in real time, this episode will give you a framework to think clearly.

If you're following this Jude study, this is an important one. Verse 5 opens up far more than most people expect.

Watch, listen, and share with someone who wants a stronger biblical view of apostasy, grace, Israel, and the last days.

The Unbelief of Israel: Fear or Faith? - Ep. 874 - March 23, 2026

What kept Israel out of the promise, Fear or Faith? In this episode, Smith and Rowland open Jude 5 and show why that warning still matters now.

This conversation gets right to the heart of unbelief. Using Israel in the wilderness as the key example, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk through how saved people can still miss their inheritance through unbelief, fear, pride, and compromise. That makes Jude a hard book, but also a necessary one.

They connect Jude 5 with Numbers 14, Hebrews 4, 1 Corinthians 10, and the letters to the churches in Revelation. As a result, this episode builds a clear picture of last-days apostasy, the danger of fear-driven teaching, and why believers must still contend for the faith.

You'll hear strong insight on:
the unbelief of Israel and why it stands as a warning to the church,
the difference between salvation and inheritance,
how Fear can shape choices more than Faith,
why apostasy often starts with a turn from God's Word,
the battle over literal truth versus twisted meaning,
and why the next move of God may be rising in young people with Joshua and Caleb faith.

There's also a clear call here for Word and Spirit to stay together. Right doctrine matters. So does first love. When those are torn apart, people drift. When they stay joined, lives change.

If you've been studying Jude, end-times prophecy, apostasy in the church, or the spiritual lesson of Israel's wilderness journey, this episode will give you a lot to think about.

Watch, share, and stay with this series as The Smith and Rowland Show continues through the book of Jude.
