The AI Jesus - Ep. 743 - 8-13-2025

AI chatbots are now claiming to be Jesus, gathering thousands of users and selling a personalized, pay-to-pray experience. Alan Smith and Jeff Roland unpack how algorithm-driven theology reshapes truth for clicks, why knowledge without wisdom misleads, and what the Bible says about deception in the last days. We look at Matthew 24 and Daniel 12, the rise of “AI Jesus” apps, the lure of polished sermons written by AI, and the danger when the Church trades the Holy Spirit for engagement metrics. Clear takeaways, test every message by Scripture, seek Jesus over convenience, and guard your data and your doctrine.

Dividing Israel is Defying God - Ep. 739 - 8-5-2025

Is the world setting the table for judgment? Alan Smith and Jeff Roland break down a new push at the UN to recognize a Palestinian state, the call to divide Israel, and why the Bible warns against it. They track the rising tide of anti‑Semitism, media influence, and the political shift in Canada, France, and the UK. From Joel 3 and Zechariah 12 to Daniel 9, they outline how prophecy, the rapture timeline, and the spirit of the age collide in today’s headlines.

You will hear a frank talk on criticism, spiritual warfare, and how the Church should anchor its hope in Jesus. The hosts argue that dividing the land is defying God, and that rewarding terror only brings more violence. Clear, direct, and grounded in Scripture.
