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.

Raised in church but crushed by shame and religion, Otis eventually spiraled into partying, steroids, drugs, alcohol, depression, and complete hopelessness while chasing money, status, women, and worldly success in Florida’s party culture. But after losing nearly everything — including friends, relationships, his business, and eventually his sister to overdose — he encountered Jesus Christ in a life-altering way that completely transformed him. In this episode, we discuss: Addiction and radical repentance Spiritual warfare and surrender The difference between religion and relationship Why modern churches are failing men Home churches and discipleship Beach evangelism and baptisms The Holy Spirit and true transformation Masculinity, leadership, and biblical manhood Church culture vs. New Testament Christianity Building Bible studies in everyday life Otis also reveals details about his upcoming discipleship curriculum designed to help ordinary believers confidently lead Bible studies and disciple others in their homes, coffee shops, and communities. If you’ve ever struggled with addiction, depression, purposelessness, or feeling disconnected from God, this conversation is for you.
