Fake Prophets or False Prophets? - Ep. 862 - March 3, 2026

Fake Prophets don't always look fake. In this episode, Smith and Rowland call out the confusion, the noise, and the shifting "Christian" voices that won't hold up to Scripture.

Ep. 862 (March 3, 2026) tackles a hard subject head-on: how public influencers can sound sincere while pushing ideas that don't match the Bible. Along the way, the conversation turns to Iran, Israel, anti-war talking points, and why "America first" isn't the same as "America only." The hosts also break down how rhetorical games can hide weak arguments, then they contrast that with clear, direct teaching.

You'll hear why they believe some of today's most popular commentators show the fruit of spiritual blindness, how replacement theology can shape modern politics, and why the Church often attacks the wrong targets while ignoring the real false prophecy.

If you care about discernment, current events, and a faith that doesn't bend with the headlines, this one's for you.

Should Podcasters Be Apostles? - Ep. 861 - March 2, 2026

A lot of Podcasters want to play "church watchdog," but who gave them that authority? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the guys tackle a heated Debate happening across Christian media right now, the push to expose leaders, broadcast scandals, and call it a "purge."

Instead, this conversation draws a clear line between local church accountability and online outrage. You'll hear why public pile-ons don't restore people, why evidence can be used to mislead, and why self-appointed "investigative ministries" often create more damage than they prevent. Along the way, they break down the difference between correction and humiliation, and they challenge the idea that Podcasters can act like Apostles over the universal church.

Topics covered include:
Local church authority, autonomy, and accountability

"Exposure culture" and why it spreads fast online

Restoration, confession, and keeping things in the room

Why "the broader the audience, the broader the confession" doesn't hold up

Pride, spiritual posturing, and acting outside real oversight

Preach the gospel, stop making exposure a full-time job

If you care about healthy leadership, real repentance, and a church that builds people up instead of tearing them down, this episode will sharpen your thinking.

Mamdani and the Madhi - Ep. 860 - February 27, 2026

New York, Iran, and end-times claims are colliding fast. In Ep. 860, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland lay out why theology always turns into action, and why that matters right now.

This episode tracks the headlines through a biblical lens, from rising tension with Iran to growing anti-Semitism, and then to New York City's new mayor, Mamdani. Along the way, the conversation connects Islam's end-times expectations (the Madhi, also spelled Mahdi) with the kind of deception Jesus warned about in Matthew 24. The goal is simple, spot the pattern, stay grounded in Scripture, and don't get numbed by the noise.

Topics covered:

 * Iran, war risk, and the spiritual story behind the conflict
 * Dominionism, replacement theology, and where the ideas overlap
 * The "hidden imam" and 12ver Shiite end-times teaching
 * False prophets, discernment, and why signs and wonders require caution
 * Why Christians can't ignore Politics when leaders shape culture and public life

Everybody Just Preach & Leave Chris Reed Alone - Ep. 859 - February 24, 2026

Church scandals aren't the gospel. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the message is simple, Preach, extend real grace, and stop feeding the accusation machine.

Allan and Rowland talk straight about what happens when Christian leaders fall, how "restoration" gets redefined by public opinion, and why a religious spirit loves to add conditions where God doesn't. Along the way, they break down the difference between human love (based on an object) and God's love (given because He is love). As a result, the conversation lands on a clear takeaway, forgive, restore, and let people get back to serving.

This Podcast also addresses how online narratives get shaped, who controls the story, and why "investigative" content can turn into control, not accountability. From there, they call out the pattern of targeting people you disagree with, instead of dealing with doctrine in the open and leaving room for God to work.

Main topics in Ep. 859:

 * Why withholding love after repentance limits the Kingdom
 * How "accountability" can become manipulation
 * Confession, forgiveness, and what the gospel actually sounds like
 * Discernment versus accusation culture
 * Why the best move is to Preach and leave Chris Reed alone

Who is Disqualified? - Ep. 858 - February 23, 2026

When a Pastor falls, who decides they're "done"? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk candidly about failure, repentance, consequences, and what restoration really means in real church life.

They start with a trust problem many people feel today, especially after public scandals. Then they take a hard look at how Christians treat "fallen" leaders, why some sins get spotlighted while others get ignored, and why people often confuse God's forgiveness with human approval. Along the way, they unpack a key idea, the consequences are often built into the sin itself, even after repentance.

You'll also hear a practical breakdown of common warning signs that lead to moral collapse, including pride ("It'll never happen to me"), being too busy to stay close to God, and unhealthy boundaries with the opposite sex. The conversation stays grounded in Scripture while still being honest about what happens in the real world after a fall, including shame, self-disqualification, and the long road back.

In addition, the guys share a new way to follow the show: full Podcast episodes are now posted as readable blog posts on kingdompropheticsociety.org, so you can revisit the core ideas in writing.

Dispensationalism: Guardian of the Truth - Continuation - Ep. 857 - February 20, 2026

A straight-talk Continuation on Dispensationalism and why it guards the Truth. If you want the Bible to stay clear, connected, and honest, this episode is for you.

In Ep. 857 of The Smith and Rowland Show (February 20, 2026), the conversation keeps moving through "Dispensationalism: Guardian of the Truth." This isn't about chasing a new label. It's about keeping every part of Scripture in place, so the message doesn't get trimmed, twisted, or replaced.

You'll hear why "old-fashioned" doesn't mean outdated, it means proven. You'll also hear why dishonor for what's "old" can slide into dishonor for Scripture itself. From there, the discussion gets practical and biblical, showing how Dispensationalism helps keep continuity across the whole Bible.

Covered in this episode:

 * Why Dispensationalism functions as a "guardian of the Truth"
 * How God "dispenses" Truth, what the word means, and why it matters
 * The classic seven administrations (innocence, conscience, human government, promise, law, grace, kingdom), plus the transitions between them
 * Why Israel and the church are distinct without creating "two Gods" or "two ways of salvation"
 * How labels like "Christian Zionism" get used as insults, and how a dispensational framework answers the confusion
 * What "obedience to what God says" means in every era, from Noah to the present gospel

If you care about reading the Bible plainly, keeping Israel in the text, and refusing to cut out hard passages, this Continuation will help you think straight and stay anchored.

Dispensationalism: Guardian of the Truth - Introduction - Ep. 856 - February 19, 2026

Dispensationalism protects how you read Scripture and how you guard Truth. In this Introduction episode, Smith and Rowland explain why that matters now.

In Ep. 856 (February 19, 2026), the conversation starts with a headline moment: Doug Wilson and Tucker Carlson, and what their discussion revealed about Israel, American foreign policy, and the growing influence of replacement theology. From there, the episode locks in on the bigger issue, how people handle the Bible and why "rightly dividing" isn't optional.

You'll hear a clear case for Dispensationalism as a framework (not a hobby or a trend) that keeps words from changing meaning. The hosts tie that framework to the Constitution, because the same fight shows up in both places. Do we take the text as written, or do we let culture rewrite it?

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why the Doug Wilson and Tucker Carlson conversation felt one-sided
• Dispensationalism vs. replacement theology, and why the difference isn't small
• Why "literal" reading protects doctrine instead of flattening it
• How "rightly divide" implies people can wrongly divide
• Why hyper-dispensationalism distorts Truth instead of guarding it
• How the Constitution debate mirrors the Bible debate

If you care about Bible interpretation, Christian doctrine, and how theology affects real public life, this episode sets the foundation. Subscribe for the follow-up, because this is only the start.

Many Are Deconstructing The Bible - Ep. 855 - February 18, 2026

Deconstructing is trending, but the Bible doesn't need edits to stay true. In Ep. 855 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Smith and Rowland respond to a viral pitch for an "Original Yeshua Testament" that dismisses everything after the Gospels.

They break down why this kind of "Jesus only" framing sounds spiritual, yet strips away the cross, the atonement, and the authority of Scripture. Along the way, they talk about how deception spreads through emotion and marketing, why "original manuscripts" claims get abused, and why rightly dividing the Word matters when people start cutting books out of the Bible.

The Old-Fashioned Way - Ep. 854 - February 16, 2026

Culture and law are colliding, and Christian schools are in the crosshairs. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland break down a fast-moving Debate over whether the progressive left is legislating Christianity out of American life, one regulation at a time.

First, they react to examples from California, New York, and Colorado, where accreditation rules and state mandates pressure faith-based schools, camps, and adoption agencies to conform. Next, they discuss Virginia House Bill 359 and the push to treat tax credits as public funds, which can bring new control over private Christian education. Along the way, they talk about separation of church and state, vouchers, and why churches and parents must take responsibility for educating Children without trading convictions for government approval.

Listen for a clear warning about "small compromises" and why the "old-fashioned way" still matters when pressure keeps rising.

The Stealing of Our Children - Ep. 853 - February 12, 2026

Are politics and faith getting blurred on live TV? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the guys react to a clip from The View and a growing Debate over "theological liberalism" versus biblical Christianity. They break down how Bible language gets used to defend public policy, especially around transgender medical procedures for minors, and why that matters for parents.

Next, the conversation widens to the "Save Act," voter ID, and the trust problem that follows when leaders push radical ideas while claiming moral authority. Along the way, they warn about government overreach, the pressure on families, and the long-term cost to Children caught in adult fights.

This Podcast episode is blunt, opinionated, and focused on one theme: protecting kids, telling the truth, and refusing to let culture rewrite the Bible.
