What happens when a proposed moral code for all humanity begins to replace the gospel of Jesus Christ?

In Episode 965 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine the Noahide Laws, Noahidism, and the pledge associated with the modern Noahide movement. They discuss how these laws are presented as a path to righteousness for Gentiles, why the pledge directs participants toward rabbinic interpretations, and how this framework compares with the biblical teaching of salvation through Jesus Christ.

The conversation covers:

 * The seven Noahide Laws and their traditional interpretations

The hosts also discuss the dangers of replacing the Old and New Testaments with a religious system created through rabbinic interpretation. They compare Noahide law with Sharia law and other systems that claim authority over personal faith, conscience, and freedom.

Along the way, the episode includes plenty of the humor and spontaneous conversation that define the show, including a lighthearted discussion about coffee cups, the former Dixie Stampede, and the meaning of true freedom in Christ.

Watch the full episode, then consider the central issue for yourself: Can any set of human laws provide righteousness before God, or does salvation come only through Jesus Christ?

What are the Noahide Laws, and why have governments and international organizations discussed them as a universal moral code?

In Episode 964 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith examine the seven Noahide Laws, their origins in the Talmud, and the differences between these laws and the gospel of Jesus Christ. The conversation focuses on the seventh law, the establishment of courts of justice, and how legal authority could shape the meaning and enforcement of the other six laws.

The discussion also reviews statements and resolutions connected to the Noahide Laws, including references to President Ronald Reagan, President George H. W. Bush, the United States Congress, the European Union, Australia, and a 2012 United Nations conference. Jeff and Alan consider whether this system could unite Judaism, Islam, and apostate Christianity under a shared religious and legal framework.

The conversation then turns to biblical prophecy, the rise of a one-world government and religion, the restrainer described in 2 Thessalonians 2, the rapture of the church, and the role of the Holy Spirit during the Tribulation. They also discuss the 144,000, the two witnesses, and the revival Scripture describes during that period.

A new international Noahide conference in Jerusalem has sparked serious questions about law, religion, biblical interpretation, and the future of Christian freedom.

In Episode 963 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine the seven Noahide Laws and their roots in Jewish rabbinic tradition. They discuss the laws against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, sexual immorality, theft, cruelty to animals, and the requirement to establish courts of justice.

The conversation also reviews a 1991 U.S. congressional declaration that referenced the Noahide Laws, along with plans for the First International Congress of Noahides in Jerusalem. The hosts examine the conference's proposed founding charter, its stated connection to communities across six continents, and the involvement of Israeli officials.

Smith and Rowland raise concerns about how the Noahide system defines blasphemy, how rabbinic interpretations may differ from the wording of the laws, and how similar legal structures appear in discussions of Sharia courts. They also compare these ideas with biblical prophecy, the authority of Scripture, the New Testament, Jesus Christ, and the doctrine of salvation through the cross.

The episode includes discussion of the Noahide World Center, Rabbi Uri Sherki, the conference website, and the disputed citation of Zechariah 2:15. Watch the full episode for a detailed look at the claims, sources, and prophetic implications discussed by the hosts.

Victory gardens helped families grow food, preserve scarce resources, and support the war effort. In this episode of Gardening with Daddy Pete, Melvin and Jay York explain what those gardens can teach us about growing food today.

The conversation looks back at World War I war gardens and the World War II victory garden movement, when households across the United States planted vegetables and fruit to support troops overseas, feed workers at home, and reduce pressure on rationed supplies. They discuss how small urban spaces, backyard plots, patios, and narrow strips of land could produce useful harvests.

You'll also hear how families preserved food through canning and drying, why freezing wasn't widely available for many households at the time, and how victory gardens supported nutrition during the war. The episode also covers overseas gardens, children who helped send seeds to prisoners of war, and two historic victory garden sites that still produce food today.

Melvin and Jay then connect these lessons to modern gardening. Growing your own food can give you better control over what you eat, help you share fresh produce with neighbors, and make productive use of limited space. They also introduce Plant a Row for the Hungry and the USDA People's Garden, two programs that help communities grow and share food.

Whether you have a large backyard, a raised bed, a patio, or only a few containers, this episode offers practical reasons to start growing. Learn how the victory garden movement shaped American gardening and why its message still matters in 2026.

Massachusetts abortion policy, the sanctity of human life, and the moral responsibility of the church are at the center of this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show.

Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith respond to an article titled "When Abortion Becomes Something to Celebrate" and examine how public attitudes toward abortion have changed over time. They discuss the phrase "safe, legal, and rare," the removal of gestational limits, and the public celebration surrounding laws that expand abortion access.

The conversation also addresses the moral distinction between a fetus and a developing human being, the Bible's teaching on murder, and passages such as Exodus 20:13, Psalm 139, Jeremiah 1:5, and the account of John the Baptist in his mother's womb.

Jeff and Alan also connect abortion policy to broader cultural and political questions, including immigration, adoption, the influence of churches, transgender issues, and the consequences of rejecting biblical authority. They argue that Christians must speak clearly about human life and refuse to treat the destruction of unborn children as ordinary health care or social progress.

This episode presents a direct Christian critique of abortion and challenges viewers to consider how laws, language, and public celebrations shape a society's view of human dignity.

Should Christians commit to a local church, or is being part of the universal church enough? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland examine what 1 Corinthians 12:18 means when it says, "God has set the members, every one of them, in the body, as it has pleased him."

The conversation focuses on local church membership, spiritual responsibility, commitment, and the biblical meaning of assembling with other believers. Allan and Jeff explain why they believe God places Christians in specific local congregations, not simply in an invisible or universal church.

They also discuss:

 * Why every local church has different needs and challenges

With plenty of humor, including a fictional sponsorship from the nation of Nauru, this episode brings a serious biblical challenge: if God has placed you in a local church, are you honoring that commitment and serving the people around you?

Watch Episode 960 of The Smith and Rowland Show, then share your thoughts in the comments. Where has God placed you, and how are you serving in that local church?

Where does your allegiance lie when faith, comfort, and personal preference pull in different directions?

In Episode 959 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith examines Christian loyalty, the meaning of allegiance, and the visible commitments that should shape a believer's daily life. He considers whether Christians treat faith as a firm covenant with God or as one preference among many.

Alan discusses the Pledge of Allegiance, the history of Francis Bellamy, and the three pledges once common in Bible school ceremonies: allegiance to the American flag, the Christian flag, and God's Holy Word. He also addresses the freedom to remain silent during the pledge and explains why loyalty to the United States doesn't require blind support for every government decision.

The conversation turns to church life and Christian outreach, including the bus ministry associated with Jack Hyles. That story raises a difficult question for every congregation: Do we want church growth only when it remains comfortable and familiar?

Alan also examines Paul's warnings about false teaching in Acts 20 and Colossians. A church may continue using the name of Jesus while allowing other beliefs and priorities to crowd out the cross. Biblical allegiance requires faithfulness to God's Word, active service, personal obedience, and commitment through hardship.

This message invites viewers to examine their own loyalty to Christ. Is your allegiance visible in your relationships, church membership, prayer, public decisions, and response to God's truth? Consider the challenge presented in this episode, then test every point against Scripture.

Can missiles defeat a nation whose military strategy is driven by end-times theology? In Episode 958 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith examine Iran's belief in the coming Mahdi and what that belief may mean for the conflict with the United States and Israel.

The discussion focuses on the connection between theology, military decisions, and national strategy. If Iranian leaders view chaos, suffering, and escalating conflict as signs that prophecy is unfolding, conventional deterrence may not produce the results many expect. Military losses and economic pressure could strengthen their resolve rather than bring them to the negotiating table.

Jeff and Alan also discuss:

 * The role of Twelver Shiite theology in Iran's government and Revolutionary Guard

The conversation also addresses prophecy, deception, radicalization, the persecution of Iranian citizens, and the challenge of responding to an ideology that views bloodshed as part of a divine plan.

Watch the full episode and consider how theology shapes international conflict, national decisions, and the way the church should respond.

The pledge of allegiance has faded from many churches and schools, but what does that loss say about loyalty, faith, and the values we pass on?

In Episode 957 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith discuss the three pledges that once shaped daily life for many Americans: the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag, the pledge to the Christian flag, and the pledge to the Bible.

The conversation examines the meaning of a pledge as a serious promise of loyalty, the history behind the words "under God," and the connection between national allegiance and Christian faith. Jeff and Alan also discuss the Christian flag pledge, the authority of God's Word, the importance of teaching biblical truth, and the need for churches to return to sharing the gospel.

The hosts challenge pastors, church leaders, and believers to consider whether allegiance is still being taught and practiced. They also reflect on the call to stand for faith, honor the principles of the United States, and remain loyal to Jesus Christ.

This episode includes a special mention of Vacation Bible Schools of America and the importance of bringing the pledges back into church and Bible school settings.

Watch the full discussion and share your thoughts: Should churches regularly recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the Christian flag pledge, and the pledge to the Bible?

Can the church remain silent while America faces political division, immigration concerns, cultural change, and a growing crisis of Christian leadership?

In Episode 956 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland begin with plenty of humor, including a bizarre "Back Alley Medicine" sponsor bit, before turning to serious questions about the church's role in public life.

The discussion covers birthright citizenship, border security, political Islam, Democratic Socialism, developments in Michigan, the future of the Democratic Party, and the relationship between current events and biblical prophecy. Smith and Rowland also examine Russia's relationship with Islamic nations, Israel's place in end-times prophecy, the tribulation period, and the need to interpret Scripture within its proper dispensational context.

Their central concern is the church's retreat from public responsibility. They argue that Christian leaders have allowed biblical principles, patriotism, and constitutional values to fade from public conversation, leaving the nation vulnerable to political and religious movements they believe conflict with America's founding principles.

This episode offers a direct look at the hosts' Christian, conservative perspective on immigration, national identity, church leadership, Israel, prophecy, and the state of America. Viewers are encouraged to weigh the claims, examine the biblical passages discussed, and consider whether the church is prepared to speak clearly in a time of national uncertainty.

Watch until the end for Smith and Rowland's call for spiritual revival, renewed courage, and a church willing to address difficult issues instead of avoiding them.
