Alistair Begg's Lynch Mob! - Ep. 500 - 2-11-2024

Alistair Beg is under fire for his counsel to a grandmother about attending her grandson’s gay wedding, and the online Mob is in full swing. In this episode of The Smith & Rowland Show, Alan, Jeff, and Jason walk through the actual situation, the response from podcasters and networks, and why so many are quick to cancel a brother in Christ over one disputed counsel call.

We address John MacArthur’s decision to drop Beg from the Shepherds Conference, the growing “tradition” of internet watchdogs, and how cancel culture has invaded the church. We also play a powerful clip from Alistair Beg on the cross of Christ, grace, and the heart of the gospel, and ask what real pastoral care should look like when families face hard moral choices.

Share your thoughts in the comments and let us know where you stand on this controversy.

Would Jesus Use Razor Wire? - Ep. 499 - 2-8-2024

Would Jesus use razor wire at the border? In this episode of the Smith & Rowland Podcast, Alan Smith and Jeff Rolland tackle immigration, border security, and political power plays through a clear Christian lens. They walk through John Zmirak’s article, discuss Catholic and Protestant responses, and ask how believers should think about law, compassion, and national strength.

The conversation digs into what Scripture means by “stranger” and “sojourner,” how real hospitality works, and why open borders can invite both mercy and deep Suffering. Alan and Jeff weigh the risks at the southern border, the exploitation of children, and the call of Jesus to welcome people without surrendering truth, law, or wisdom.

Invasion or Pilgrimage? - Ep. 498 - 2-7-2024

Is America facing an invasion or a Pilgrimage? In this Smith & Rowland Show Podcast, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland break down the new Senate “border bill,” the crisis at the southern border, and why billions go to Ukraine and Israel while the U.S. border gets a fraction of the funding. They compare numbers under Obama, Trump, and Biden, and expose how many illegal crossings this bill quietly accepts each year.

From cartels and Chinese migrants to crime, debt, and national security, they argue the United States is being invaded without tanks, while American taxpayers foot the bill. As Christian Americans, they also wrestle with compassion for immigrants, the Bible’s call to care for sojourners, and the hard limits of a collapsing economy and broken policy.

Watch to the end, then share your thoughts in the comments. Do you see this as an invasion, a pilgrimage, or something in between?

Window Closed On Alistair Begg? - Ep. 497 - 2-4-2024

Alistair Begg has come under fire for his comments about a grandmother attending her grandson’s same-sex wedding, and the fallout has been fierce. On this episode of The Smith & Rowland Show, Alan and Jeff walk through what Begg actually said, why many Christian leaders are cutting ties with him, and how cancel culture has crept into the church.

We talk about the meaning of Christian marriage, the difference between a church wedding and a secular ceremony, and what it really means to show the love of God without bending on truth. From radio networks to conference platforms, the reaction to Begg raises hard questions about grace, unity, and how believers treat faithful men of God who make one disputed call.

More Word or More Spirit? - Ep. 494 - 1-31-2024

Word and Spirit can’t compete if Jesus is both. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk through the old “Word vs. Spirit” divide and why extremes lead to dry religion on one side and chaos on the other. They lay out a better path, follow the Holy Spirit, apply truth at the right time, and refuse to force God into a man-made box.

You’ll also hear a clear take on church governance, why some believers treat Christianity like a Democracy, and why the church is meant to function under a Theocracy. The conversation hits real-life pressure points, voting, leadership, privacy, motive, and the danger of using “truth” without the Spirit’s direction.
