Contending for The Faith in These Last Days - Ep. 872 - March 19, 2026

What does it really mean to contend for the Faith in the Last Days? In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland open Jude and confront the warning signs of apostasy head-on.

This conversation gets straight to the point. Jude's message wasn't vague, and it wasn't meant only for another time. It speaks to the church right now. Alan and Jeff walk through Jude 1 through 5 and connect it to Israel in the wilderness, showing how people can witness God's power, enjoy His blessing, and still refuse obedience when it matters most.

They break down why Contending for the faith takes more than talk. It takes courage, obedience, and a willingness to stand on God's Word when false teaching creeps in. They also explain the difference between salvation and inheritance, why miracles don't replace obedience, and why Joshua and Caleb still matter as examples for believers today.

Along the way, this episode covers:
how Jude warns about men creeping into the church unnoticed,
why turning grace into license leads to judgment,
what Israel's failure in the wilderness teaches the church,
why obedience matters more than chasing miracles,
how to recognize false teaching in the Last Days,
and why believers must earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints.

If you care about biblical truth, apostasy in the church, end times deception, and standing firm in your walk with Christ, this episode is worth your full attention.

Watch, share, and stay in the Word.

The Last Days Message of The Apostles - Ep. 871 - March 18, 2026

A sharp warning for the Last Days. In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland break down the Message of apostasy in Jude and 2 Peter, and why it still matters right now.

Episode 871 of The Smith and Rowland Show focuses on a serious Bible theme, false teachers, spiritual infiltration, and the kind of Message that turns the grace of God into corruption. As they walk through Jude verse by verse, Alan and Jeff connect the warnings of Scripture to the church in the Last Days with urgency and clarity.

This conversation looks closely at:
the "certain men" who creep in unawares,
the difference between truth and deception,
how false teaching spreads,
why mockery of Christ's return matters,
and how the warnings of Jude, Daniel, and 2 Peter still speak to the church today.

They also talk about spiritual warfare, unbelief, the wilderness generation, and why the Message of the Apostles was never meant to be soft or casual. Instead, it was meant to wake people up, call believers to contend for the faith, and expose what threatens the church from within.

If you've been studying Jude, Bible prophecy, the Last Days, apostasy, or the return of Christ, this episode gives you a lot to think through. It's direct, Scripture-centered, and grounded in the conviction that God's Word still tells the truth about our time.

Watch, listen, and weigh the Message carefully.

The Last Day Infiltrators - Ep. 870 - March 17, 2026

Are Infiltrators already inside the church? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Smith and Rowland open the book of Jude and confront the warning signs of Last Day apostasy.

This Podcast moves from sharp humor to serious Bible teaching as the conversation centers on false teachers, spiritual drift, and the slow loss of reverence for God. Jude may be short, but it speaks with force. In just 25 verses, it points to corruption from within, a deliberate falling away from the faith, and the growing danger of ungodliness in the church.

Along the way, this episode connects Jude to James, Acts, Revelation, and 2 Thessalonians. It also tackles hard issues many avoid, including the softening of biblical conviction, the loss of holy fear, and the way deception often enters from the inside, not the outside.

If you want clear teaching on apostasy, false teachers, contending for the faith, and what believers should expect in the Last Day, this episode is worth your time. It's honest, direct, and grounded in Scripture.

In this episode:
The warning of Jude and why it matters now
How apostasy grows from within the church
What "ungodly" really means in the text
Why reverence for God is disappearing
The difference between friendship with Jesus and fear of the Lord
How false teachers distort grace
Why believers must contend for the faith
The hope of revival in the middle of a falling away

The Last Day Apostacy - Ep. 869 - March 16, 2026

Are we watching the Last Day Apostacy unfold in real time? In this Podcast episode, The Smith and Rowland Show open the book of Jude and lays out a direct warning for the church.

This episode starts a powerful series on Jude, one of the most overlooked books in the New Testament. Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith talk through apostasy in the church, the falling away warned about in 2 Thessalonians, deceiving spirits, false teachers, and why sound doctrine still matters right now.

They also connect Jude to Revelation, the seven churches, and the steady drift from truth to compromise. As a result, this conversation hits hard for anyone trying to make sense of spiritual confusion, church decline, and the growing attack on biblical truth.

Inside this episode:
Jude as a roadmap for the Last Day church
How apostasy moves from subtle error to open denial
Why deception is more than intellectual, it's spiritual
The danger of replacing Scripture with opinion and trend
How believers can stand firm and overcome in an apostate age

There's also some classic Smith and Rowland humor at the start, including a memorable "real salt" sponsor bit, before the conversation turns serious and deeply relevant.

If you care about Bible prophecy, the church, the rapture, or the warning signs of the times, this is an episode worth hearing all the way through. This is more than a headline topic. It's a sober look at what Scripture says happens before Christ's return, and how believers are called to respond.

Watch, share, and stay with this series as the book of Jude unfolds episode by episode on The Smith and Rowland Show.

Mysticism vs. Literalism - Ep. 868 - March 13, 2026

Mysticism vs. Literalism, what happens when we stop taking God's Word at face value?

In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, the conversation turns to how people read the Bible, and why it matters. After hearing a comment about "literal hermeneutics," Smith and Rowland weigh the pull of Mysticism, allegory, and "hidden meanings" against a plain, literal reading of Scripture. Along the way, they talk about how pride, presumption, and spiritual elitism can creep into interpretation, and how that drift can lead to serious confusion.

You'll hear them touch on:

 * Why a literal hermeneutic sets clear boundaries for meaning
 * How allegorizing can quietly change the words, not just the tone
 * The difference between parables and turning everything into symbols
 * Why "going deeper" can become a trap when it's fueled by ego
 * How Revelation examples (like the white horse) can get twisted fast

If you care about Bible interpretation, dispensationalism, covenant theology debates, or end-times teaching, this episode lays a strong foundation for where these conversations often go off the rails.

America, Wake Up - Ep. 867 - March 11, 2026

America isn't just facing a political fight; it's facing a spiritual wake-up call. Ep. 867 of The Smith and Rowland Show hits hard and doesn't sugarcoat what's happening.

In this Podcast episode, Smith and Rowland start with some classic banter (and a surprise sponsor, "Dairy Cow"), then shift into a serious follow-up on Iran, persecution for faith, and why these headlines might point to something bigger than Politics as usual.

A Glenn Beck clip sparks the main discussion, framing today's chaos as more than bad policy or partisan noise. From Iran's ideology and global influence to moral confusion at home, to the way "compassion" can get twisted into something darker, the conversation keeps coming back to one message: wake up, see clearly, and don't sleepwalk through a moment that demands discernment.

Expect talk about:

 * Iran, faith, and why the threat doesn't stay "over there"
 * Spiritual blindness, moral collapse, and the loss of a moral compass
 * Why you can't separate faith from public policy
 * The need to engage, not retreat, as America changes fast

Jehovah Moves on Iran - Ep. 866 - March 9, 2026

A gripping update on Iran, the underground Church, and why many believers see Jehovah moving in surprising ways. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland react to a powerful testimony from an Iranian Christian woman who describes dreams, miracles, secret church life, and the cost of following Jesus under persecution.

Along the way, the conversation turns to what's happening in the Middle East right now, including the long-running Shia and Sunni divide, reports of rapid Christian growth in Iran, and how Jeremiah 49 gets brought into the discussion. The hosts also highlight the contrast between faith under pressure and spiritual comfort in the West, plus why this testimony should wake up the Church in America.

You'll hear about:

 * A conversion story shaped by dreams, healing, and a deep hunger for truth
 * Smuggling and distributing thousands of New Testaments across Tehran
 * The risks faced by women who choose Christ under an oppressive regime
 * Why this story matters for prayer, perspective, and prophetic discussion

This is part one of the clip, the next episode continues with the prison story and release.

Truth or Delusion? - Ep. 865 - March 6, 2026

When does deception turn into Delusion, and what does Scripture say happens when people reject Truth? A raw, Bible-centered Podcast conversation.

In Ep. 865 of The Smith and Rowland Show (March 6, 2026), Jeff and Alan unpack the difference between deception and delusion, and why it matters in everyday life. They connect the dots from Jesus' warning in Matthew 24:4 to Paul's words in 2 Thessalonians 2, where rejection of the love of the Truth leads to "strong delusion" and believing a lie.

Along the way, the conversation hits hard topics that many avoid:

 * How deception can start with seductive ideas, then grow into settled delusion
 * Why "my truth" thinking doesn't stay harmless
 * The line between being deceived and becoming a deceiver
 * What Proverbs 1 and Romans 1 reveal about God's patience, mercy, and judgment
 * Why fear often fuels the lies people choose to believe
 * A personal story about prayer, experience, and how bad teaching can shape what you think God will or won't do

Are You Struggling over your YES? - Ep. 864 - March 5, 2026

If you're Struggling after you've told God "Yes," this episode puts words to what you're feeling and shows a better way forward.

In Ep. 864 of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast (March 5, 2026), Alan and Jeff talk plainly about the difference between "false" and "fake," why motive matters, and how confusion over titles can distract from the real issue. A "false" thing can look real while still missing truth. A "fake" thing often carries intent to deceive. That contrast changes how you judge messages, ministries, and even your own heart.

Then the conversation turns personal and practical. Saying "Yes" to the Lord is not about chasing a title. It's about surrender, day by day. The call comes first, and it stays non-negotiable. As a result, peace comes when you stop trying to take your "Yes" back and start letting the Holy Spirit shape your character and your function.

You'll also hear why real ministry is recognized by function, not hype, and why scandals don't get the final word when repentance and obedience are on the table. Expect humor, honesty, and steady encouragement for anyone who feels stuck between what they promised and what it costs.

Fake Apostles or False Apostles? - Ep. 863 - March 4, 2026

Apostles, Fake authority, and False "correction" online, this episode draws a hard line between local church leadership and internet-appointed watchdogs.

In Ep. 863 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Smith and Allan Rowland talk straight about the rise of self-appointed voices claiming spiritual jurisdiction they were never given. The result, they say, is predictable, public accusation that sounds spiritual, but carries the tone of the accuser.

This conversation hits several flashpoints:

 * Why the local church matters more than a vague "universal church" idea
 * The difference between the Twelve Apostles and the New Testament office of apostleship
 * Why real authority comes by invitation, not by barging into someone else's church problems
 * How "exposing" people for clicks feeds the flesh, not the Spirit
 * Why the simplest path forward still works, preach Christ, win souls, show up to church

You'll also hear their take on "apostolic fathers," generational pushback, and why many online critics act like popes without a parish. If you're tired of church drama content and want clarity on church authority, correction, and calling, this one's for you.
