Is Predestination Fake News? - Ep. 738 - 8-4-2025

Predestination, free will, and the promises of God take center stage. Alan Smith and Jeff Roland unpack the difference between Abrahamic election tied to Israel as a nation and salvation election for individual believers. They trace Bible terms like election, foreknowledge, and destiny, discuss how the Church relates to Israel, and push back on replacement theology. The talk stays grounded in Scripture and the work of Jesus, with plain language on how choice, grace, and God’s sovereignty fit together.

What you’ll get:

 * A clear, Bible-based look at election and predestination
 * National Israel vs. individual salvation explained
 * Practical thoughts on faith, choice, and following Jesus

Is The Church To Worship God? -Ep. 734 - 7-29-2025

Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland review a recent Remnant Radio episode on the claim, “Church is not for worship?” They weigh the idea of edification in 1 Corinthians 14, the role of prophecy, and why the assembly gathers at all. The conversation moves from the Bible’s command to meet, to worship as response to God, to common confusions about altars, priests, and buildings from the second to fourth centuries. Expect a clear, scripture first take that pushes back on trendy titles while honoring the Church’s call to preach, worship, and build up the body.

Stage or Altar? - Ep. 732 - 7-24-2025

Has the Church traded the Altar for a stage? Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland weigh showmanship against Scripture, asking if lights, sets, and hype are shaping fans instead of followers.

It's Later Than You Think - Ep. 730 - 7-22-2025

Smith and Rowland tackle a tough headline and a timely Debate. Alan and Jeff break down reports that Ambassador Mike Huckabee warned Israel over visa delays for evangelical missions.

The Temple is Stirring - Ep. 729 - 7-17-2025

Prophecy, Israel, and the red heifer on the Temple Mount. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland break down a new article on the red heifer and why many see it as a sign that the prophetic clock is ticking. We talk Scripture, the Third Temple, replacement theology, and why this matters for the Church today.

Hear a clear dispensational take rooted in the Bible. We discuss reports of a recent burn as a rehearsal for creating ashes, the 2022 arrival of five red heifers from Texas, rising support in Israel after October 7, and the political and spiritual fallout around Jerusalem. We point to the finished work of Jesus, urge prayer for the peace of Jerusalem, and call believers to share the gospel.
