Are You Ashamed of The Pledge of Allegiance? - Ep. 957 - August 7, 2026

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?
