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.
