Straight Bible is a no-nonsense deep dive into Scripture, hosted by Matt Hepner, where the text is stripped down to its raw meaning and allowed to speak for itself. Each episode focuses on careful reading, context, and uncovering what’s really happening beneath the surface of familiar passages—ranging from powerful encounters like Moses and the Burning Bush to in-depth teaching series through the Book of Jude and the Sermon on the Mount. Recorded in real-world settings, including conversations at The Standard Coffee, the show blends theological depth with grounded discussion—bridging ancient text and modern life while challenging surface-level interpretations and inviting listeners to engage Scripture directly, honestly, and with intention. Whether you’re deeply familiar with the Bible or just starting to question what you’ve been taught, Straight Bible is for anyone who wants to move beyond secondhand interpretations and encounter the text directly.

Rather than relying on denominational traditions or theological systems, this discussion encourages believers to search the Word of God for themselves and evaluate every doctrine through the lens of Scripture. Throughout this conversation, we discuss questions surrounding salvation, grace, works, the Law, the Holy Spirit, Israel, baptism, Sabbath, marriage and divorce, Genesis, Acts, and many other biblical topics. We also examine how Christians should approach difficult theological debates without allowing personalities, traditions, or intellectual arguments to replace a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This episode emphasizes careful Bible study, biblical context, and allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture. Whether you're a new believer with questions or someone who has studied the Bible for years, you'll find thoughtful discussion designed to encourage deeper study and stronger faith. If you've ever wondered: How should Christians understand the Law and grace? What role does baptism play? What does the Bible teach about salvation? How should we approach denominational differences? What does Scripture actually say about difficult passages? ...this Q&A is for you. We hope this discussion challenges you to open your Bible, seek truth with humility, and grow in your relationship with Christ. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Which question or answer stood out to you the most? Leave your perspective in the comments and join the conversation.
