Were D.L. Moody & Billy Graham Wrong? - Ep. 845 - February 2, 2026

Were D.L. Moody and Billy Graham part of the problem, or part of the answer? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Jeff and Alan push back on claims that dispensationalism “rose and fell,” and explain why they believe it never fell because truth doesn’t fall.

They talk through where dispensational thinking shows up in Scripture, why clear preaching mattered to the old-timers, and how modern voices are trying to make “dispensationalist” sound like a dirty word. The conversation also connects the debate to end-times basics (Israel and the church, the rapture, literal interpretation) and why these ideas keep spilling into politics and foreign policy.

If you care about Bible interpretation, prophecy, and why this argument keeps resurfacing, this one lays out the fault lines with no vague language and no fluff.

Why Does It Matter: Reformed Theology or Dispensationalism - Part 2 - Ep. 844 - January 30, 2026

Snowed in but still on the mic, this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show gets practical about Reformed Theology vs Dispensationalism, and why the difference matters.

Alan and Jeff lay out Dispensationalism as a framework for reading Scripture, not a competing “theology.” They also share two guiding principles for interpretation: when God speaks, it becomes settled truth, and “three includes one and two,” using Matthew 22’s invitations as a simple way to picture shifts across biblical history.

The conversation also clears up common confusion about salvation, stressing one way of salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ, while discussing how God’s instructions and promises unfold through time. The episode closes by tackling “replacement theology,” sorting out what people mean by the term, and why Israel’s promises, land, kingdom, and future role still matter in their reading of the Bible.

Why Does It Matter: Reformed Theology or Dispensationalism - Ep. 843 - January 29, 2026

Does your view of the Bible change how you read Israel, the church, prophecy, and God’s promises? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland lay out why the Reformed Theology vs Dispensationalism debate isn’t just about end-times charts. It shapes how you interpret Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.

You’ll hear clear points on literal Bible interpretation, replacement theology concerns, and why the Israel and church distinction matters in Old Testament promises like land, nationhood, temple, and kingship. They also talk through the “mystery” of the church, Paul’s unique calling in Ephesians 3, and why the “red letters only” approach falls short.

In Order To Think, You Must Risk Being Offensive - Ep. 842 - January 28, 2026

If you can’t Think without someone getting upset, you can’t Think at all. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland talk straight about truth, offense, and why honest thinking always comes with risk.

This conversation connects Jordan Peterson’s line, “In order to think, you must risk being Offensive,” to the pulpit, the church, and everyday life. They also push it further, you’ve got to risk being offended, too. The issue isn’t the moment of offense, it’s the response. Truth has edges, it cuts, and it exposes what’s real.

Topics include:

 * Why truth offends, and why that isn’t a moral failure
 * Preaching the Bible when culture wants comfort
 * “Thinking is a contact sport,” and what that means in spiritual warfare
 * The difference between real thought and borrowed opinions
 * How offense can become a tool for growth instead of division

The Board of Peace & The Call of War - Ep. 841 - January 27, 2026

A strange ice storm kicks off a bigger talk about what’s happening in the world, and what it may signal in the spirit. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff and Alan connect recent events to a wider shift toward intercession, worship, and clear-eyed spiritual War.

They break down Trump’s “Board of Peace” tied to Gaza, why the Davos setting matters, and how the push for Peace can still fit an end-times framework. The conversation also turns to Iran, regional power moves, and the kind of shaking that forces believers to stay focused instead of living on distraction.

The second half addresses public “exposure” culture in the church, the need for real repentance and restoration, and why turning someone’s failure into content harms the body of Christ. This Podcast closes with a direct call: get back to prayer, worship, and readiness, because it’s later than we think.

Trump at Davos: What are the Conclusions? - Ep. 840 - January 23, 2026

Trump at Davos sparked big claims from Glenn Beck, and this episode breaks down the Conclusion. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland react to Trump’s Davos speech, the talk around Greenland, and what “peace through strength” looks like when the economy becomes the big stick.

They also weigh Beck’s view that Trump put global groups on notice, from the United Nations to the Davos crowd, and discuss how tough language, tariffs, and trade pressure can shift outcomes without firing a shot. The conversation turns back home to Minnesota and the hard truth that foreign policy wins don’t fix broken local leadership.

Trump shows up at Davos and the room shifts. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, we break down what Trump’s Davos appearance signals, why the World Economic Forum still matters, and how a single Conference can shape policy, markets, and culture faster than most people realize.

We also talk through the Greenland push, what might be happening behind the scenes, and why security, shipping lanes, and undersea assets keep coming up in the background of this story. The conversation ends where it began, watching the rise of global coordination through a biblical lens, and staying alert to what comes next.

If The Church doesn't go to War, The War will go to The Church - Part 2 - Ep. 837 - January 20, 2026

Part 2 of this Smith and Rowland Podcast brings the focus back to a hard warning, if the Church won’t engage the spiritual War in front of us, that fight won’t stay outside the doors. Smith and Rowland connect current events, culture flashpoints, and rising online extremism to what they see as a direct challenge to the Judeo-Christian foundation of America.

This episode also covers the backlash around viral influencer clips, growing anti-Israel rhetoric on the right and left, and why trying to reason with what they call spiritual delusion won’t work. Sponsored by Trey Transport (Tommy Ray Chapman) for expedite freight needs.

If The Church doesn't go to War, The War will go to The Church - Ep. 836 - January 19, 2026

A Church service in St. Paul got interrupted by an anti-ICE protest, and the footage spread fast. In this episode of the Smith & Rowland Podcast, the guys break down what happened, why it matters, and why it shouldn’t be treated like normal politics.

They call out the media angle, the Don Lemon involvement, and the tactic of using “free speech” to justify shutting down worship. They also give a direct warning to every Church in America: this model will get copied. If a congregation isn’t ready, it can lose control of the room in minutes.

You’ll also hear practical guidance on what a Church can do right now, from security planning to calling law enforcement, and why worship and clear leadership matter when pressure hits. It’s not just a news story, it’s a test of nerve, order, and faith in a culture War.
