A special Tribute episode honoring Ron Ross, a friend, mentor, and steady voice of grace. Alan Smith and Jeff Rolland share stories from decades of friendship and ministry, and they highlight the message Ron carried to the end: God is love, and you don’t have to perform to be loved.

Ron’s memorial service is Saturday, January 6 at 2:00 p.m. at New Life Church in Taylorsville, North Carolina. It will be live streamed. Details and links are available at https://newlifenc.com

Daniel 9:27: Christ or Antichrist? - Unplugged - Ep. 469 - 12-28-2023

Daniel 9:27 explained in plain terms, Christ or Antichrist? This episode breaks down the text, the timing, and why it matters for end-times teaching.

You’ll hear a direct walkthrough of Daniel 9:24 to 27, the 70 weeks, and the key claim that Daniel 9:27 points to the Antichrist, not Christ. The discussion also connects that timeline to Revelation’s seals and the mark of the beast, including why the COVID shot isn’t the mark, but did show how fast the world can move toward the kind of control Revelation describes.

Topics covered:
Daniel’s 70 weeks and the purpose of the prophecy
Why Daniel 9:27 is tied to the Antichrist’s covenant and a 7-year period
What the abomination of desolation means in a literal future temple setting
How Revelation’s time markers (42 months, 1,260 days) fit the split of the week
Why the mark of the beast involves buying and selling, and what recent events revealed

Don’t Forget The Fig Tree - Unplugged - Ep. 468 - 12-27-2023

The Fig Tree parable in Matthew 24 gets used to set dates, predict the Rapture, and map the End Times, but most takes skip key context. In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland lay out a clear, Bible-first framework for reading the Fig Tree without breaking the doctrine of imminence.

You’ll hear a straight breakdown of how Israel and the Church fit into Matthew 24, why the “this generation” line matters, and how Acts 2 (Joel’s prophecy) connects to Matthew 24 and Revelation 6. They also explain parenthetical passages, the difference between present tribulation and the Great Tribulation, and why Daniel’s covenant, not the Rapture, starts the tribulation clock. The discussion also touches AD 70, Titus, and why the 1948 “budding fig tree” claim can create problems if it’s used as a required sign.

Mary Did You Know - Ep. 467 - 12-23-2023

Christmas talk with Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland, with plenty of laughs and a serious look at why the birth of Jesus still matters. This episode highlights Mary and Joseph’s unlikely road to Bethlehem, the humility around the manger, and the spiritual conflict that showed up from the start.

You’ll also hear why God often works through ordinary people and messy settings, why humility is strength, and how hope holds when the world feels dark. The conversation touches the Magi and their gifts, the danger Herod saw in a newborn King, and what it means to carry Christ in real life.

The Heresy of Amillennialism-Part 3 - Unplugged - Ep. 466 - 12-22-2023

Today’s Smith & Rowland Unplugged keeps it serious (mostly) while finishing Part 3 of the series on the Heresy of Amillennialism. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland lay out clear definitions for amillennialism, postmillennialism, and premillennialism, then explain why they hold a premillennial view of Revelation 20 and a literal future kingdom.

This episode also connects current headlines like War and Famine to the “spirit of the word” versus the full, future fulfillment described in prophecy. Along the way, you’ll hear why the doctrine of imminence matters, why a big-picture reading of Genesis through Revelation shapes end-times views, and why Israel and the church can’t be treated as the same program without forcing the text.

The Heresy of Amillennialism-Part 2 - Unplugged - Ep. 465 - 12-21-2023

Christmas banter meets serious Bible teaching in this episode of the Smith and Roeland Show. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland continue their series on Heresy, calling out Amillennialism for spiritualizing key passages and stripping Revelation 20 of its plain meaning.

You’ll hear a clear breakdown of why a literal, future kingdom matters, how the Abrahamic and Davidic promises connect to Israel’s ongoing prophetic role, and why Isaiah 9 and Daniel 7 point to real events, not symbols. The conversation also addresses practical fallout from an allegorical end-times view, including confusion over the church’s mission, political drift, and pressure to trade biblical truth for modern ideologies.

They also clarify how the Rapture fits into the broader timeline, including the church’s return with Christ at the end of the Tribulation. The episode closes with a preview of what’s next, the strengths of premillennialism and why a literal reading stays consistent across Scripture.

The Heresy of Amillennialism - Unplugged - Ep. 464 - 12-20-2023

Amillennialism isn’t a harmless view, it changes how you read the whole Bible. In this episode of Smith and Rowland Unplugged, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland call Amillennialism what they believe it is, a Heresy tied to replacement theology, and they explain why it reshapes end-times teaching, Israel, and Revelation 20.

You’ll hear a clear case for a plain, consistent reading of Prophecy, including why spiritualizing the millennium forces people to re-interpret passages that read as straightforward promises. They also explain why replacement theology removes Israel from its prophetic role, why that matters for Romans 11, and why Revelation’s “as it were” language matters for sound interpretation.

Listen in if you want biblical clarity, not vague symbolism, and a framework that treats Scripture as understandable, trustworthy, and internally consistent.

Should We Celebrate Christmas? - Ep. 462 - 12-17-2023

Christmas is more than a date on a calendar. It’s a holy reminder to Celebrate God’s greatest gift, Jesus Christ, and to live in real Joy that reaches past tradition, noise, and opinions.

In this episode of The Smith & Rowland Show, Alan Smith, Jeff Rowland, and Jason talk through why Christmas is worth celebrating, straight from the Bible. From Mary’s praise, to the angels’ worship, to the shepherds’ response, the story is full of celebration rooted in God’s work, not man’s approval. The message stays simple and direct, Christmas points to God with us, Christ in you, and the hope of glory.

Also mentioned: new updates on the “Mike Bickle pickle” are covered on the Unplugged podcast (Parts 1-3), titled “Mike Bickle, Man Approved of God.”
