Enemies of The Cross: Progressive Christianity - Ep. 754 - 9-3-2025

Progressive Christianity or atheism, which challenge is shaping the church today? On the Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland read and react to an article by Arch Kennedy and discuss why the real crisis may be a Progressive counterfeit that keeps Christian language while trading the authority of the Bible for cultural approval. They talk Baylor University returning an LGBTQ DEI grant, how universities and some seminaries influence church leadership, and why deception inside the church harms Teaching, discipleship, and witness. The conversation contrasts worldliness with evil, addresses LGBTQ activism in pulpits, and points to end‑time warnings, calling pastors and believers to hold to Scripture, love people, and reject false doctrine.

Spiritual, Absentee Fathers - Ep. 749 - August 24, 2025

Fathers, sons, mentors, and mentees. In this episode of the Smith and Rowland Show, the crew sits down with Men of the Forge to talk about inheritance that lasts. We open Proverbs 13:22 and Ephesians 1:11, weigh the parable of the talents, and ask what a good man really leaves to his children’s children. Beyond money, we look at passing on the gospel of Jesus, a life shaped by the Bible, and the call to make disciples.

Topics include mentoring across generations, the role of men in the church, how the Holy Spirit closes the age gap, why truth must be guarded and handed down, and how to invest what God has entrusted instead of doing nothing with it.
