The Smith and Rowland Show

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 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
