Fake Apostles or False Apostles? - Ep. 863 - March 4, 2026
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.
