Is the Church facing an Epidemic of Immaturity? In Ep. 847 of The Smith and Rowland Show (February 4, 2026), Allan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk about what happens when pulpits stop calling sin, sin, and why that choice produces shallow faith, weak discipline, and fragile believers.

This episode connects spiritual growth to emotional maturity, then gets practical about daily obedience (Scripture, prayer, self-discipline) as the steady path forward. They also share the “fast track” to maturity, sacrifice, laying down self-interest, serving others, and even laying down personal vision when God calls for it.

Watch for a direct conversation on:

* Why avoiding the word “sinner” waters down truth * How milk vs. meat shows up in real church life * Why daily Bible reading matters, even when you don’t “feel” results * How emotional instability ties back to spiritual drift * Why sacrifice forms Christlike character faster than comfort ever will

Were D.L. Moody and Billy Graham part of the problem, or part of the answer? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Jeff and Alan push back on claims that dispensationalism “rose and fell,” and explain why they believe it never fell because truth doesn’t fall.

They talk through where dispensational thinking shows up in Scripture, why clear preaching mattered to the old-timers, and how modern voices are trying to make “dispensationalist” sound like a dirty word. The conversation also connects the debate to end-times basics (Israel and the church, the rapture, literal interpretation) and why these ideas keep spilling into politics and foreign policy.

If you care about Bible interpretation, prophecy, and why this argument keeps resurfacing, this one lays out the fault lines with no vague language and no fluff.

Snowed in but still on the mic, this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show gets practical about Reformed Theology vs Dispensationalism, and why the difference matters.

Alan and Jeff lay out Dispensationalism as a framework for reading Scripture, not a competing “theology.” They also share two guiding principles for interpretation: when God speaks, it becomes settled truth, and “three includes one and two,” using Matthew 22’s invitations as a simple way to picture shifts across biblical history.

The conversation also clears up common confusion about salvation, stressing one way of salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ, while discussing how God’s instructions and promises unfold through time. The episode closes by tackling “replacement theology,” sorting out what people mean by the term, and why Israel’s promises, land, kingdom, and future role still matter in their reading of the Bible.

Does your view of the Bible change how you read Israel, the church, prophecy, and God’s promises? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland lay out why the Reformed Theology vs Dispensationalism debate isn’t just about end-times charts. It shapes how you interpret Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.

You’ll hear clear points on literal Bible interpretation, replacement theology concerns, and why the Israel and church distinction matters in Old Testament promises like land, nationhood, temple, and kingship. They also talk through the “mystery” of the church, Paul’s unique calling in Ephesians 3, and why the “red letters only” approach falls short.

If you can’t Think without someone getting upset, you can’t Think at all. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland talk straight about truth, offense, and why honest thinking always comes with risk.

This conversation connects Jordan Peterson’s line, “In order to think, you must risk being Offensive,” to the pulpit, the church, and everyday life. They also push it further, you’ve got to risk being offended, too. The issue isn’t the moment of offense, it’s the response. Truth has edges, it cuts, and it exposes what’s real.

Topics include:

* Why truth offends, and why that isn’t a moral failure * Preaching the Bible when culture wants comfort * “Thinking is a contact sport,” and what that means in spiritual warfare * The difference between real thought and borrowed opinions * How offense can become a tool for growth instead of division

A strange ice storm kicks off a bigger talk about what’s happening in the world, and what it may signal in the spirit. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff and Alan connect recent events to a wider shift toward intercession, worship, and clear-eyed spiritual War.

They break down Trump’s “Board of Peace” tied to Gaza, why the Davos setting matters, and how the push for Peace can still fit an end-times framework. The conversation also turns to Iran, regional power moves, and the kind of shaking that forces believers to stay focused instead of living on distraction.

The second half addresses public “exposure” culture in the church, the need for real repentance and restoration, and why turning someone’s failure into content harms the body of Christ. This Podcast closes with a direct call: get back to prayer, worship, and readiness, because it’s later than we think.

Trump at Davos sparked big claims from Glenn Beck, and this episode breaks down the Conclusion. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland react to Trump’s Davos speech, the talk around Greenland, and what “peace through strength” looks like when the economy becomes the big stick.

They also weigh Beck’s view that Trump put global groups on notice, from the United Nations to the Davos crowd, and discuss how tough language, tariffs, and trade pressure can shift outcomes without firing a shot. The conversation turns back home to Minnesota and the hard truth that foreign policy wins don’t fix broken local leadership.
