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.

In this episode of Straight Bible, Matt Hepner sits down with Bennis the Menace for an in-depth conversation about Biblical interpretation, Daniel's 70 Weeks prophecy, covenant theology, grace, the Law, and why so many Christians are re-examining modern evangelical teachings. Bennis shares his journey from attending Moody Bible Institute to questioning the theological framework he was raised with. Together they discuss the historical origins of dispensationalism, the influence of John Nelson Darby, how Bible colleges shape doctrine, and why many believers are reconsidering popular end-times teachings. This conversation explores important Biblical topics including the relationship between the Old and New Covenants, the role of Israel, the Church, prophecy, the Kingdom of God, the writings of Paul, salvation by grace, and the importance of interpreting Scripture in its proper context. Rather than relying on tradition, Matt and Bennis encourage Christians to study the Bible carefully and test every doctrine against Scripture. Whether you're new to Biblical theology or have spent years studying eschatology, this discussion will challenge assumptions and encourage deeper study of God's Word. If you've ever wondered where popular end-times beliefs originated or why different Christians interpret prophecy differently, this episode provides an engaging starting point.
