What does the Bible say Apostasy looks like in real life? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Jude 12 and 13 and talk plainly about the Marks of apostates, why they're dangerous, and how they work inside the church.
This conversation gets to the heart of a hard truth. Apostasy isn't always loud or easy to spot. Sometimes it comes dressed in spiritual language, Bible talk, and promises of deeper insight. Yet Jude gives strong warning signs. He describes hidden rocks, clouds without water, fruitless trees, raging waves, and wandering stars. Smith and Rowland unpack those images and show why they still matter right now.
Along the way, this episode also touches on spiritual elitism, false depth, and the danger of people who mix truth with error. That's where this message hits hard. The focus isn't on hype or religious performance. It's on Christ, the cross, and the presence of God. As Alan and Jeff explain, when people drift from the simplicity of the gospel, they become easy targets for deception.
There's also plenty of the humor listeners expect from The Smith and Rowland Show, but the core message stays sharp. Apostates are predators seeking whom they may devour, and the church needs discernment. If you've ever struggled to identify false teaching, or wondered how deception spreads among sincere believers, this episode will give you a clear Bible-based framework.
Watch, listen, and weigh it against Scripture.
Then share it with someone who cares about truth, discernment, and the last days.

Just a questions...
Jeff said an apostate is someone who has never known God. Merriam Webster dictionary says it’s “Someone whose beliefs have changed and who no longer belongs to a religious or political group.”
And about the phrase “twice dead” the Greek reads - adverb from 1417; twice:--again, twice. – Same principle as twice born – natural birth and spiritual birth.
For one example, (there are many) someone like Rob Bell who was once a pastor who now says he no longer believes in heaven, hell, or the atonement and now considers himself an agnostic. He has walked away from the truth.
