Original episode: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-has-god-spoken-to-us-by-his-son-hebrews-1-1-4-hebrews-w-otis-fowler-pt-1--72703809

How has God spoken to us by His Son? Hebrews 1:1-4: God spoke by the prophets, but in these last days by His Son, the express image of His person.
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 1, with Otis Fowler, Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2). Otis explains why he reads the NASB 1995, then reads Hebrews 1:1-4.

Hebrews was written to believers under persecution, and the book sets the old covenant beside the new: grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17), and God cut a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15). "The express image of his person" (Hebrews 1:3) is like a stamp on wax, not the moon reflecting the sun. Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58), "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30) and "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9).

Also covered: the first and the last (Isaiah 44; Revelation 1), heaven meted out with the span (Isaiah 40:12), "the brightness of his glory," the only begotten Son, modalism and the Trinity, "upholding all things by the word of his power," "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15-20), one sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:11-12), and an outline of the whole book.

Why is the church so divided? 1 Corinthians 1:1-17 (KJV): Paul greets a gifted church, then confronts the divisions tearing it apart.
1 Corinthians Part 1 (Corinthians for Dummies) with Matt Hepner and the Raven: a slow, conversational read through Paul's opening chapter.

Matt and the Raven start with Paul, called to be an apostle by Jesus and not by any institution, and the saints at Corinth. They ask why grace comes before peace, why Paul thanks God for people before he corrects them, and what it means to be called unto the fellowship of God's Son. Then they reach Chloe's report of "I am of Paul... I of Apollos" and ask what Paul's warning means for a church split by denominations, and why he would not preach with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ be made of none effect.

Primary passage: 1 Corinthians 1:1-17 (KJV)

What is the root cause of anxiety? From Matthew 6:24-34 (KJV): you cannot serve God and mammon, and serving mammon only feeds anxiety.
Sermon on the Mount Part 28 with Matt Hepner and TopLobsta: "take no thought" means take no anxiety. Do the work, then, having done all, stand (Ephesians 6:13).

The birds of the air work every day and the lilies of the field can only stand, yet God feeds and clothes both. Matt walks through working heartily as unto the Lord, clean hands and a pure heart, and David's mighty men standing their ground, and shows why your heavenly Father, not mammon, is the provider. Then come the great "stand still" moments: Moses at the Red Sea, Peter asleep in chains, Hannah's prayer, and 2 Timothy 1:7: "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Primary passage: Matthew 6:24-34 (KJV)

• Does "take no thought" mean do nothing? (1:20)
• What does "having done all, to stand" mean? (15:50)
• What is the root cause of anxiety? (25:11)
• Why did God ask Moses, "Wherefore criest thou unto me?" (48:39)
• What does 2 Timothy 1:7 say about the spirit of fear? (1:23:27)

Carnal eyes or spiritual eyes? Matthew 6:22-23 (KJV): "The light of the body is the eye," and "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God."
Sermon on the Mount Pt 24, hosted by Matt Hepner with Raven.

Matt and Raven pick up from John 9:39 and the fall in Genesis 3, where "the eyes of them both were opened" and they saw with carnal eyes. Then they read Matthew 6:19-24 and pray Paul's prayer, "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened" (Ephesians 1:18). "The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes" (Psalm 19:8). In 1 Corinthians 1-2, "the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18). "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God," but "we have the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:14, 16).

Along the way: tree-of-life vs tree-of-knowledge issues and why believers divide over end-times charts, Moses choosing "rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season" and enduring "as seeing him who is invisible" (Hebrews 11:25, 27), David's "Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD" (Psalm 25:15), and Peter walking on the water until he saw the wind (Matthew 14:30).

Questions answered
• What is the difference between carnal eyes and spiritual eyes? (7:29)
• Why is the cross foolishness to those who perish? (10:08)
• What does "the natural man receiveth not" mean? (56:51)
• What does it mean to have the mind of Christ? (1:03:16)
• How did Moses see "him who is invisible"? (1:03:50)
• Why did Peter sink when he saw the wind? (1:23:16)

What does "In the beginning" mean in Genesis 1-2 (KJV)? Thomas "Paranoid American" reads Genesis on its own terms, with Hebrew wordplay, gematria and hard questions.
Straight Bible Interview Sessions with Thomas "Paranoid American," hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

This is the start of a book-by-book run through the Bible with Thomas of Paranoid American Comics, working through Genesis 1 and 2 read aloud from the King James. Thomas read Genesis as if it were the only book in front of him; Matt and TopLobsta answer from the rest of Scripture and keep coming back to one point: knowing God matters more than winning a doctrine fight.

Topics include whether God is limited to three dimensions, whether it matters if Genesis is literal history, sola scriptura and the Book of Enoch, what the word "in" implies in "In the beginning," tohu va bohu and Isaiah 45:18 ("he created it not in vain"), gematria, the Bible code and the golden ratio, the Spirit moving on the waters, Adam and adamah, light before the sun, the greater and lesser lights, the pattern of sevens, the image of God, "after his kind," two creation accounts, the Sabbath ("made for man," Mark 2:27), man becoming a living soul, naming the animals, Eve from the rib, the two trees, and whether "the fall" and original sin are in Genesis. Next time: Genesis 3.

Questions answered
• Is it heresy to say God is not limited to three dimensions? (6:22)
• Does it matter if Genesis is literal history? (16:03)
• What does "In the beginning" mean in Genesis 1, Verse 1? (26:30)
• Did the earth "become" without form and void? (31:57)
• Why is light created before the sun? (1:01:57)
• Are there two creation accounts in Genesis? (1:34:16)
• Is original sin in Genesis? (2:14:03)

What does "Come and see" mean in John 1:35-39 (KJV)? G. Campbell Morgan traces how Jesus dealt with John the Apostle, the disciple whom Jesus loved.
G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt reads G. Campbell Morgan's chapter on John the Apostle and stops to talk it through. Morgan starts with John's background: son of Zebedee and Salome, partner in the fishing business with Simon and Andrew, from a family with hired servants, a cousin of Jesus after the flesh (Matthew 27:55-56), and a man with a house in Jerusalem, where he took Mary after the cross (John 19:26-27).

Then Morgan follows John through the Gospels and turns to the Lord's methods with him: "What seek ye?" (John 1:38), the invitation to "come and see" (John 1:39), which Morgan ties to Revelation 1:1-2 where John "bare record ... of all things that he saw," the call to be fishers of men (Mark 1:17), the name Boanerges, sons of thunder (Mark 3:17), the sharp corrections ("Forbid him not," and the wish to call down fire, Luke 9:49-56), the way of the cross (Mark 10:38-39), and the confidence Jesus showed in trusting John with His mother and with the Revelation. It closes on John 21:20-23: "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"

How does the Holy Spirit reveal Jesus Christ? A.W. Tozer's text is John 3:27 (KJV): "A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven."
A.W. Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 2 (Tozer's Ten Sermons on the Holy Spirit), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt reads and discusses Tozer's sermon "How Christ Is Revealed by the Holy Spirit, Not Through the Intellect," chapter 2 of his ten sermons on the Holy Spirit. Tozer's outline: the blunder of orthodoxy in assuming spiritual truths can be intellectually perceived; the error that Bible study of itself can remove the veil; the error that we can talk each other up and put spiritual things down on the level of man's understanding; and the result, "two Christs": the Christ of history and the creeds, and the Christ only the Spirit can reveal.

Along the way: the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14), God's thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9), the Spirit of truth glorifies Christ (John 16:12-14), all Scripture is given by inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16), intuition and inward illumination, why philosophy and science cannot prove divine things, "It is the Holy Spirit or darkness," the anointing that teaches you (1 John 2:27), and Tozer's promise that when the Spirit comes He does not throw out true learning; He sets it on fire.

What does Jesus mean by "take no thought for your life" in Matthew 6:24-34 (KJV)? Take no anxiety: seek the kingdom of God first, then work without worry.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 27, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matthew 6:24 is the hinge of the chapter. Verses 19-24 warn against coveting abundance, and verses 25-34 warn against being anxious about necessities. Matt shows that "take no thought" means take no anxiety, the same word as "Be careful for nothing" in Philippians 4:6, and not "sit on your porch and wait for life to happen."

From there: losing your life to find it (Matthew 16:24-27), flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom (1 Corinthians 15:50-54), "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31-39), render unto Caesar and unto God (Luke 20:19-26), "all souls are mine" (Ezekiel 18:4), Moses asking to be blotted out of God's book (Exodus 32:30-33), the book of life (Revelation 20:12-15), your children belong to God (Ezekiel 16:20-21), and Paul on Mars Hill (Acts 17:22-28).

Then back to the birds of the air, which never just sit around, the ant (Proverbs 6:6-11), Adam put in the garden "to dress it and to keep it" before the curse (Genesis 2:7-15), providing for your own house (1 Timothy 5:8), and "if any would not work, neither should he eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The balance: work hard, plan and provide, without anxiety.

Questions answered
• What does "take no thought" mean in Matthew 6, Verse 25? (2:25)
• What does "be careful for nothing" mean in Philippians 4, Verse 6? (4:56)
• What belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God? (15:21)
• What do the birds of the air teach in Matthew 6, Verse 26? (43:24)
• Does Matthew 6 teach Christians to stop working? (48:23)
• Did work exist before the curse? (50:33)

In this episode of Straight Bible, we sit down again with Matt Hepner of The Standard Coffee Shop to break down the first four verses of the Book of Jude — one of the most overlooked but powerful warnings in Scripture. Jude writes to believers who must “contend for the faith” because certain people have crept into the church unnoticed — twisting grace into license, and reshaping God’s truth to fit human comfort. We talk about: The rise of fake churches that preach acceptance without repentance. How false teachers dilute Scripture for clout or convenience. Why modern Christians must recognize deception inside the house of God. The difference between knowing about the Word and living by it. This is a message for every believer who’s tired of seeing God’s truth watered down. If you’ve ever wondered whether your church is standing firm or drifting off course — this is your call to wake up, discern, and stand for truth. ☕️ Recorded live at The Standard Coffee Shop, this discussion brings Scripture into the heart of real-world faith — no filters, no fluff, just Straight Bible.

Why does the church have so many arguments and so little power? James Williams of Dark Waters says Christians need the Holy Spirit's power, not just better debates.
Straight Bible Interview Sessions with James Williams (Dark Waters), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

James Williams, better known as Dark Waters, sits down with Matt and TopLobsta for a raw, unscripted conversation. He tells how the Lord told him to "study my generals," starting with John Wesley, why the first money from his debate went straight to the church, and why a Christian who crushes a debate opponent has already lost sight of the point. TopLobsta shares an Orthodox "gotcha" debate story, and James makes his main case: "They have arguments, but they don't have power."

From there: preachers who won't deal with the witch on their block, a wild Pentecostal church, reframing the Heather Lynn debate back to a biblical worldview, a witchcraft book in the children's section at BJ's, Shawn Ryan's DMT trip and the "mountain of influence," the "next shooter" principle, interceding for Alex Jones in the courts of heaven, Jay Dyer and knowing doctrine vs knowing God, witches, a scratch and the "satanic trading floor," standing on God's word (Psalm 91), riding the coattails of Christian forefathers, praying for a limping woman in Nashville, and how Dark Waters started, from opposition research in New Orleans to dogman live cams.

Questions answered
• Should a Christian crush an opponent in a debate? (6:16)
• Why does the church have arguments but no power? (10:00)
• What is the "school of the Spirit"? (12:54)
• What is the "next shooter" principle? (42:07)
• What does interceding in the courts of heaven look like? (50:46)
• How do you stand on God's word in spiritual warfare? (1:14:51)

Straight Bible opens its A.W. Tozer series with the first of Tozer's ten messages on the Holy Spirit, "Don't Beg for the Holy Spirit, Glorify Jesus Christ." Tozer's point from Acts 2 is that the important thing at Pentecost was not that the Spirit had come but that Jesus had been exalted (Acts 2:32-33, 36). Jesus said it on the last great day of the feast: "the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified" (John 7:37-39). Where Jesus is glorified, the Holy Spirit comes. He does not have to be begged.

From there Tozer says the church must be more than "a heavenly institution being operated in an earthly manner." A Spirit-filled congregation is joyful (the Moravians), useful to the whole community, and "ensamples to all that believe" (1 Thessalonians 1:7-8). Who will not feel at home there: people who wear religion as a Sunday garment, who will not let the cross change their plans, who expect entertainment, or who want only the church's cultural value. Who will: those who want to be rid of their sin, want to know God, and know the Shepherd's voice. Along the way: Ravenhill's "Where are the Elijahs of God?", Wesley and Whitefield preaching in the open air, and whether the podcast is today's open air.

Is Revelation written in chronological order? Sean Griffin of Kingdom in Context walks through Revelation 1:1-22:21 and shows how its visions overlap.
Straight Bible Interview Sessions with Sean Griffin (Kingdom in Context), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Sean Griffin of Kingdom in Context comes back for a two-hour walk through Revelation. He starts at Revelation 1:1, where the message runs from God, to Jesus Christ, to His angel, to John. Then the big question: Revelation is not one continuous sequence. Greek words like kai do not always mean "next," and Sean groups the chapters into overlapping sections that show the same events from different angles.

From there: the two witnesses, Apollyon (Revelation 9:11) and the 42 months, whether Christians are under the law, First Enoch, the Watchers and the Nephilim, the lake of fire, Michael standing up (Daniel 12:1-2), a resurrection "both of the just and unjust" (Acts 24:15), why Sean rejects the pre-trib rapture, and his timeline: seals, trumpets and bowls ending on the same day, New Jerusalem and the thousand years (Revelation 20:4-6).

Questions answered
• Who is speaking in the Book of Revelation? (1:19)
• Is Revelation written in chronological order? (12:55)
• Are Christians protected from God's judgments? (20:02)
• Who is Apollyon in Revelation 9? (41:14)
• Are demons disembodied Nephilim spirits? (59:17)
• Why does Sean reject the pre-trib rapture? (1:12:28)
• When does New Jerusalem come down? (1:53:23)

Who was Andrew the Apostle? In John 1:35-42 (KJV) Jesus asks him "What seek ye?", and G. Campbell Morgan shows why Andrew mattered more than most Christians realize.
G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown (The Great Physician), hosted by Matt Hepner with Raven.

Matt and Raven read G. Campbell Morgan's chapter on Andrew from The Great Physician. Morgan walks through the places Andrew is named: John 1:35-42, the call from the nets (Mark 1:16-18), the loaves and fishes (John 6:8-9), the Greeks who would see Jesus (John 12:20-22), the Mount of Olives (Mark 13:3-4), the upper room (Acts 1:13), and the foundations of the holy city (Revelation 21:14).

Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, a friend of John the Apostle, Simon's brother, and a strong, quiet man with the courage to leave John and follow Jesus. Jesus' first words to him were "What seek ye?" (John 1:38). Morgan says He was not asking who Andrew was looking for, but why. Andrew came and saw, abode with Him that day, and then "first findeth his own brother Simon" with the words "We have found the Messias" (John 1:41). Morgan closes on this: Christ's first disciple was not Peter but Andrew, and the city of God will be built not by the notoriety of its builders but by their fidelity.

Why did Abraham refuse the king of Sodom's riches? Matthew 6:22-24 (KJV): "Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Abram would not let any man say, "I have made Abram rich."
Sermon on the Mount Pt 26, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt and TopLobsta trace "Ye cannot serve God and mammon" through the Bible. In Genesis 14 Abram arms his 318 trained servants and brings Lot back. Two kings meet him: Melchizedek blesses him and receives a tenth, and the king of Sodom offers the goods. Abram will not take "from a thread even to a shoelatchet ... lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich" (Genesis 14:23). The next chapter is God's covenant with Abram.

Elisha refuses Naaman's gifts ("I will receive none," 2 Kings 5:16) and Gehazi runs after them. Elijah asks, "How long halt ye between two opinions?" (1 Kings 18:21), and the line runs from Baal to mammon: could today's church run on God with no money? Then Simon the sorcerer ("Thy money perish with thee," Acts 8:20), Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11), and the unjust steward and "the true riches" (Luke 16:1-14).

What is the difference between the seal of God and the mark of the beast? Matt and Raven read Revelation 7:1-8 (KJV), Ezekiel 9 and Revelation 13.
Straight Bible Q&A, hosted by Matt Hepner and Raven.

Matt and Raven take viewer questions, led by the seal of God and the mark of the beast. Revelation 7:1-8: four angels "holding the four winds of the earth," an angel "having the seal of the living God," and 144,000 sealed. Ezekiel 9: "a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations." Revelation 13:11-18: the mark "in their right hand, or in their foreheads." Their take: you are marked for God or against Him, God marks His people before destruction, and the Holy Spirit gives the discernment.

Also: annotating your Bible, lights "for signs, and for seasons" (Genesis 1:14), the tribulation, Pharaoh's heart, head coverings (1 Corinthians 11:5-16), praying to Mary and the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), the tribe of Dan (Judges 2:20-23), principalities over the nations (Deuteronomy 32:8; Ephesians 6:12), addiction, "Christian communism," David's wives, and Solomon and demons.

Questions answered
• What is the difference between the seal of God and the mark of the beast? (12:01)
• Where else does God mark people on the forehead? (18:37)
• Does the church go through the tribulation? (21:27)
• Are head coverings required for Christian women? (43:46)
• Should Christians pray to Mary and the saints? (49:00)
• Can someone be a Christian communist? (1:18:31)
• Did Solomon use demons to build the temple? (1:31:41)

How did Psalm 22 predict the crucifixion of Jesus? Otis Fowler reads Psalm 22 next to Hebrews 2:12-18, where Jesus says, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren."
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 7, taught by Otis Fowler with Matt Hepner, TopLobsta and Raven.

Otis Fowler picks up Hebrews 2 where Pt 6 left off. Jesus was made "perfect through sufferings" (Hebrews 2:10), and "he is not ashamed to call them brethren" (Hebrews 2:11). The One who sanctifies and the ones He sanctifies are one family, and the word of God is what sanctifies us: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth" (John 17:17).

Then Otis goes to the psalm that Hebrews 2:12 quotes. Psalm 22 opens with "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?", describes the crucifixion centuries before it happened ("they pierced my hands and my feet," "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture"), and turns at verse 22 to "I will declare thy name unto my brethren." Back in Hebrews 2, verses 14-18: through death Jesus destroyed "him that had the power of death, that is, the devil," took on "the seed of Abraham," and "is able to succour them that are tempted." The live chat ends with sharing the gospel, Mark 16 and whether tongues are required for salvation.

Questions answered
• What does "perfect through sufferings" mean in Hebrews 2? (27:33)
• Why is Jesus not ashamed to call us brethren? (33:29)
• How did Psalm 22 predict the crucifixion? (54:24)
• Does Psalm 22 describe the piercing of Jesus' hands and feet? (1:11:00)
• How did Jesus destroy the power of death? (1:21:55)
• How should you share the gospel? (1:39:22)
• Is speaking in tongues required for salvation? (1:49:39)

How do you know if God is speaking to you? Matt, TopLobsta and guest Mayson take live questions on hearing God's voice, psychedelics, demons and more.
Straight Bible Q&A with special guest Mayson, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

A live Straight Bible Q&A with guest Mayson. The main question is how to recognize God's voice. The answer is to know His word and His character first, so that you can recognize Him when He speaks. From there: forgiveness when bitterness lingers, building spiritual discipline, the saints who "arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection" (Matthew 27:52-53), and whether we keep our identity in heaven (Matthew 22:30; Luke 16).

Also covered: whether Paul was a Christian universalist (Colossians 1:28, "warning every man, and teaching every man"), whether Jesus came "to destroy, but to fulfil" (Matthew 5:17), generational curses ("visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children", Exodus 20:5), King Josiah and the lost book of the law (2 Kings 22-23), whether manna was a mushroom, psychedelics and spiritual experiences, and how faith changes the way we suffer.

Questions answered
• How do you know if God is speaking to you? (18:00)
• Is it a grudge if you forgive but still feel bitter? (2:43)
• Who were the saints raised in Matthew 27? (29:09)
• Do we keep our identity in heaven? (32:56)
• Was Paul a Christian universalist? (51:48)
• Are generational curses real? (1:04:02)
• Was manna a mushroom? (1:25:05)
• Can psychedelics open you to the spirit realm? (1:26:38)

What does "Ye cannot serve God and mammon" mean? Matthew 6:19-24 (KJV): "No man can serve two masters," and where your eyes go, your heart follows.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 25, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt and TopLobsta stay in Matthew 6:19-24 and focus on verses 22-24: "The light of the body is the eye," and "No man can serve two masters... Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Israel looked at the bronze serpent; Hezekiah later broke it when it became an idol (2 Kings 18:4). "Unto thee lift I up mine eyes" (Psalm 123:1). "Call unto me, and I will answer thee" (Jeremiah 33:3). Elisha had to see Elijah taken up to receive the double portion (2 Kings 2:10). Job "made a covenant with mine eyes" (Job 31:1). After Peter's denial "the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter" (Luke 22:61).

Then the other master. Laodicea said, "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing," not knowing it was "poor, and blind, and naked" (Revelation 3:17). Paul: "I will not be brought under the power of any" (1 Corinthians 6:12). "Godliness with contentment is great gain," and "the love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:6, 10). The sower: "cares and riches and pleasures of this life" choke the word (Luke 8:14), and "the deceitfulness of riches" (Matthew 13:22). Next week: Abraham and the king of Sodom in Genesis 14.

Who was John the Baptist? G. Campbell Morgan answers from John 1:29-34 (KJV): "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown (The Great Physician), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

The second G. Campbell Morgan sermon session walks through Morgan's chapter on John the Baptist from The Great Physician. First the man: Jesus said, "Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist" (Matthew 11:11). Morgan traces John's birth, his prophetic office, and his discontent with sin: the axe at the root, the fan, the fire (Matthew 3:10-12). He looks at John's plain answers to the publicans and soldiers, "Exact no more than that which is appointed you" (Luke 3:13), and at "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness" (John 1:23).

Then Morgan shows how Jesus dealt with John. Their only recorded conversation is at the baptism: "Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15). John sees what no one else saw, "Behold the Lamb of God," and answers Isaac's question, "where is the lamb?" (Genesis 22:7). He bears record that "this is the Son of God" (John 1:34) and says, "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30). Last is John's question from prison (Matthew 11:2-6) and Morgan's answer: if he could not understand, he was called upon to trust.

Shane Cashman joins Straight Bible for a wide-ranging conversation connecting Christianity, investigative journalism, Kanye West, artificial intelligence, cloning, technocracy, government experimentation, spiritual warfare, and the unseen realm.Shane shares his unusual upbringing near West Point, growing up in a historic New York home surrounded by paranormal stories, and his investigation into “Jimmy,” a boy who reportedly died in the house decades earlier. That leads into UFO stories from the Hudson Valley, Pine Bush, the Wizard of Oz connection, and how Shane’s fascination with strange history eventually shaped his approach to journalism.The conversation then turns to Shane’s remarkable experience with Kanye West. Shane explains how working for Tim Pool led to meeting Kanye, traveling to Los Angeles, attending church and Bible study with him, reading the Book of James, discussing prayer, and eventually participating in group conversations involving Owen Benjamin and others.Shane also describes his own journey from atheism toward Christianity, beginning with desperately praying when his son was in the NICU.From there, the episode dives deep into cloning theories, the Raëlians, de-extinction, lab-grown organs, organoids, transhumanism, Neuralink, artificial intelligence, Palantir, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, technocracy, surveillance, COVID-era restrictions, and humanity’s attempt to conquer death apart from God.The conversation also explores Epstein, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, Andrew Wilson, flag burning, free speech, endless wars, Unit 731, Operation Paperclip, MKUltra, government experimentation, and whether modern geopolitical conflicts are part of a much larger system of control.Ultimately, the discussion returns to Scripture and the spiritual reality behind earthly power. Daniel’s account of the Prince of Persia and Prince of Greece, along with the biblical concept of principalities and powers, provides the framework for asking whether conflicts between nations may be manifestations of a much older unseen war.Are AI, transhumanism, technocracy, war, and centralized control separate developments—or pieces of the same spiritual battle?Let us know what you think.STRAIGHT BIBLE / MATT HEPNERPatreon:

Straight Bible continues Sermon on the Mount: Part 23 with a deep study of Matthew 6:19–24, focusing on Jesus’ teaching about treasure in heaven, the single eye, spiritual sight, and the warning that no one can serve both God and mammon. What does Jesus mean when He says, “If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light”? This episode traces that teaching across Scripture to show how our attention, faith, priorities, and spiritual vision are connected. The study begins with King Josiah and the rediscovery of the Word of God. Through Deuteronomy 17 and 2 Kings 23, the conversation examines why Israel’s kings were commanded to remain immersed in Scripture, how Solomon compromised with idolatry, and why Josiah responded by radically removing false worship from the land. That history becomes a picture of what it means to reject “God plus” religion and remain focused on God alone. The discussion then moves into spiritual warfare through 2 Corinthians 10 and Ephesians 6. Christians are not called to wage war against flesh and blood, but to tear down spiritual strongholds, bring thoughts into obedience to Christ, and put on the whole armor of God. Hebrews 12 and 1 Corinthians 6 raise another important question: even if something is technically lawful, has it become a weight that distracts you from Jesus? The episode then connects Numbers 21’s brazen serpent with Galatians 3, 2 Corinthians 5, Isaiah 45, and Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus in John 3. Israel looked at the serpent and lived; Jesus explains that the Son of Man would likewise be lifted up. Finally, John 9 and Genesis 3 reveal a deeper contrast between physical sight and spiritual blindness. From the man born blind to Adam and Eve’s opened eyes and Paul’s later blindness, the Bible repeatedly asks the same question: What are your eyes fixed on?

What does it really mean to see Jesus as the Great Physician—and how does Christ actually deal with individual people? In this episode, we begin working through G. Campbell Morgan’s classic book The Great Physician, exploring his powerful teaching on Jesus Christ, faith, repentance, salvation by grace, and the healing of the human soul.The conversation begins with why classic Christian teachers like G. Campbell Morgan, A.W. Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill, Charles Spurgeon, and Derek Prince still matter. Rather than simply memorizing theology, doctrine, or eschatological positions, the goal is to learn how these preachers approached Scripture and cultivated a real relationship with God.Morgan’s central picture is Jesus as the physician who came for the sick. Drawing from the Gospel accounts in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the discussion examines Christ’s declaration that those who are whole have no need of a physician, but those who are sick do. This leads into a deeper discussion about sinners, religious criticism, modern church culture, evangelism, and why Jesus intentionally surrounded Himself with people the religious establishment rejected.The episode then examines John 2:24-25 and the remarkable statement that Jesus “knew what was in man.” Because Christ knows humanity both universally and individually, He never deals with two people in exactly the same way. Morgan describes humanity as “spiritual in essence, sinning in experience, salvable by grace.”The discussion also explores John 1, the Word becoming flesh, spirit, soul and body, repentance, seeking first the Kingdom of God, worship, music and frequency as an analogy for “missing the mark,” human potential, and the difference between outward religion and genuine fellowship with Christ through the Holy Spirit.One of Morgan’s strongest conclusions is that there are no hopeless cases. Jesus sees what a person can become through grace, even when everyone else sees only failure. The episode closes by examining how Christ approached Andrew, Peter, Philip, Nathaniel, Nicodemus and others differently—and why genuine Christian ministry must flow from fellowship with Jesus rather than credentials, debate culture, or performance.

In Part 2 of this Straight Bible series, the hosts continue their study of Charles Spurgeon and finish the second half of his sermon “Walking in the Light of the Lord,” built around Isaiah 2:5: “Come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.” Although the wider series began with Spurgeon’s comments about Israel and the Jews, this episode concentrates on practical Christian living, biblical authority, church tradition, and what it means to live daily in the light God has already given.Spurgeon calls believers to recover spiritual zeal, encourage bold and simple faith, and practice mutual exhortation rather than allowing the church to become cold, sluggish, or lethargic. The discussion examines Christian fellowship, public prayer, charismatic and Pentecostal church culture, Sunday-only Christianity, and the difference between merely possessing religion and actually wearing faith as an everyday garment.A major portion of the episode focuses on the inspiration and infallibility of Scripture. The hosts discuss skepticism toward the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, Spurgeon’s contrast between an infallible Bible and an infallible pope or philosopher, and the ongoing debate over Sola Scriptura, Orthodox Christianity, Catholic tradition, church fathers, denominations, Calvinism, and who has authority to interpret the Word of God.Bible passages and concepts include Isaiah 2:5, 1 John 1:5, Matthew 7 and the wise man who builds on the rock, Psalm 1, 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21, Romans 7:24, the Christian struggle against sin, and communion in remembrance of Christ’s death. Spurgeon also urges new believers to study the Bible deeply, meditate on it day and night, resist being tossed around by skeptics, and pursue holiness, joy, and practical obedience.The episode closes with Spurgeon’s “first-class cabin” analogy for believers who are saved but continue living in spiritual darkness, a discussion of Christian joy as evidence of God’s light, claims concerning Spurgeon and Freemasonry, criticism from Orthodox Christians, and the contrast between cultural Christianity in the South and openly secular regions.What does it truly mean to walk in the light of the Lord? Share your thoughts in the comments.

What does Biblical Christianity look like when you strip away modern church culture, institutional expectations, and the systems Christians have inherited? In this special Straight Bible conversation, Zack Killey of The Berean Files joins the discussion for a wide-ranging episode covering his testimony, the modern American church, spiritual warfare, prayer, supernatural experiences, ministry, discipleship, and the Sermon on the Mount. The episode begins as part of the ongoing Matthew 6 study, with Matthew 6:19–24—including treasures, the eye, and the larger “evil eye” discussion—serving as part of the Biblical backdrop. But the conversation quickly expands as Zack shares his personal journey: growing up in church, falling away during his younger years, playing in a rock band, and eventually experiencing a dramatic turning point that pushed him toward telling people about Jesus. He also recounts a disturbing experience involving Tiamat and discusses other supernatural events connected to his family history. From there, the conversation examines the structure of the modern church. Should Christianity revolve around Sunday services, buildings, programs, professional pastors, and institutional systems? Or should discipleship begin in the home and naturally reproduce through ordinary believers? The discussion explores church leadership, elders, pastors, house churches, the Great Commission, generosity, church finances, youth ministry, church hurt, and what a genuinely Biblical model of Christian community might look like. The conversation also moves deeply into prayer and spiritual warfare. Zack shares accounts involving serious illness and unexpected recovery, leading to a discussion about faith, prayer, medical diagnoses, the power of words, and what it means to refuse agreement with fear. The group also discusses demonic activity, horror movies, haunted houses, masquerades, identity, religious spirits, and how Christians should evaluate supernatural experiences through Scripture. What do you think the modern church gets right—and what traditions or systems should Christians reconsider? Join the discussion in the comments. ► Subscribe for more Biblical analysis, Christian worldview discussions, and conspiracy research through a Biblical lens.

In Sermon on the Mount Part 22, we continue our verse-by-verse Bible study through Matthew 6:19-24, examining Jesus’ command to stop storing up treasures on earth and instead store up treasures in heaven. What exactly is heavenly treasure, and how should that command change the way Christians spend their time, energy, money, and lives? Beginning with the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:16-22, this study explores how earthly possessions can become a trap when they interfere with obedience to Jesus. We then connect Christ’s teaching to John 6:26-27, where Jesus tells His followers not to labor merely for food that perishes, but for that which endures unto everlasting life. A major focus is Matthew 13:44-52, including the treasure hidden in the field, the pearl of great price, and Jesus’ description of a scribe instructed in the Kingdom of Heaven who brings forth treasures “new and old.” Could the Word of God itself be one of the greatest treasures Christians can store within themselves? The discussion continues through Luke 12, the faithful and wise steward, 1 Corinthians 4, and the responsibility of Christians entrusted with the mysteries of God. We also examine 1 Timothy 5:17-18 and the biblical picture of pastors and teachers laboring in Scripture like an ox working in the field. The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 raises another question: What are Christians doing with what God has entrusted to them? Finally, the study turns to 2 Kings 21-22, contrasting Manasseh’s idolatry with King Josiah’s response when the lost Book of the Law is rediscovered. Jeremiah 7 and Deuteronomy 12 are also examined as warnings about false worship, cultural compromise, idolatry, and abandoning the Word of God. Where is your treasure? What would Jesus find you doing if He returned today? And are you continually digging into Scripture for treasures both new and old?

Owen Benjamin joins Straight Bible for a wide-ranging conversation about Christianity, spiritual warfare, media manipulation, Biblical reality, free will, predestination, the modern church, money, family, and the unseen forces that shape culture. Using ideas from Owen’s book How to Slay a Wizard, the discussion examines how advertising, slogans, false binaries, identity, fear, debt, institutional pressure, and entertainment can influence the way people think and live. The episode moves from Owen’s personal history with addiction, rehab, Hollywood, and family life into deeper questions about God’s sovereignty and human choice. Kanye West’s idea of a “script” becomes a launching point for discussing predestination and free will, while later sections explore faith as the substance of things hoped for, the authority of Scripture, the Tower of Babel, Revelation, the wheat and the tares, and what it means to live according to Biblical reality rather than the assumptions of the world. Owen and the Straight Bible crew also discuss the Trinity and the Biblical language of the Godhead, Jesus’ example, blessing Israel, Ezra, John 1:9, Romans 1, Acts, tithing, church finances, marriage, student debt, generational family life, and the calling of working men throughout Scripture. King David becomes a major focus as the conversation examines his anointing, Goliath, Bathsheba, Uriah, his failures, and the consequences recorded openly in the Bible. The conversation also enters conspiracy territory, including Jekyll Island, the Federal Reserve, gold and silver, Bitcoin, Lincoln-Kennedy synchronicities, John Wilkes Booth, secret societies, World War I patterns, propaganda, and the danger of becoming more obsessed with hidden evil than with God, family, work, prayer, and personal responsibility. What do you think: are modern Christians too focused on institutions and narratives instead of living out the faith in everyday life?

In this episode, the hosts examine Charles Spurgeon’s sermon “Walking in the Light of the Lord,” preached from Isaiah 2:5: “O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.” The discussion begins by placing a widely shared Spurgeon quote about the Jews back into its original sermon context, then expands into a challenging Bible study on Israel, the church, the Gentiles, Zionism, dispensationalism, prophecy, and Christian political influence.The hosts read Isaiah 2:1–5 and consider whether the passage points to the millennial reign, the future restoration of Israel, and a time when the nations will seek the teaching of the Lord. They discuss the distinction between natural Israel and the spiritual people of God, the grafted olive tree, the rejection of the Messiah, and Spurgeon’s call for Christians to pray for the conversion and ingathering of the Jewish people.A major question runs throughout the episode: What does it actually mean to “bless Israel”? The conversation compares modern political and military support for Israel with the biblical call to seek a people’s true good through repentance, salvation, and faith in Jesus Christ. Passages and concepts include Genesis 12, Numbers 22–24 and Balaam, Numbers 24:9, Galatians 3, Jacob and Esau, covenant blessings and curses, the birthright, and the Messiah as the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham.The episode also explores whether politics flows downstream from culture, how churches shape political narratives, Donald Trump’s populist movement, the Epstein files, propaganda, MKUltra, and the tension between political power and the local mission of the church. In the final section, Spurgeon’s sermon turns toward evangelism, the joy of seeing converts come to Christ, the meaning of blessing God, free will, Christian service, house-church fellowship, new converts, spiritual zeal, Luke 5 and the old wine, and the danger of becoming lukewarm inside religious institutions.How should Christians think biblically about Israel without surrendering discernment to either political extreme? Share your perspective in the comments.

Thomas the Paranoid American returns for a long-form Straight Bible discussion centered on Dave Hunt’s controversial book A Woman Rides the Beast. This episode examines Hunt’s claims about Roman Catholicism, the Vatican, Bible prophecy, and the possibility of a coming one-world religious system—while also challenging the assumptions, evidence, and interpretations behind those claims.The conversation begins with a deeper question: can the Bible itself be corrupted or used as a tool of control? From the King James Bible and denominational authority to commentaries, organized religion, and the difference between biblical submission and institutional control, the group explores how Christians should read Scripture and test religious teaching for themselves.Thomas then breaks down the major themes in A Woman Rides the Beast, including papal infallibility, rival popes, Catholic saints, prayers to Mary, the rosary, transubstantiation, the Eucharist, clerical celibacy, purgatory, indulgences, Opus Dei, corrupt popes, and the Vatican’s political influence. The discussion also examines historical claims involving Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Nazi ratlines, Galileo, Israel’s rebirth in 1948, David Koresh, Waco, and the New World Order.The episode also tackles faith versus evidence. Can fulfilled Bible prophecy be treated as historical proof? Topics include Isaiah 53:9, Psalm 22:18, Daniel’s kingdoms, Matthew 24, Romans 1:19, the resurrection and empty tomb, the Antichrist, astrotheology, occult symbolism, universalism, and the relationship between grace, faith, and works. Ephesians 2:8, James, Revelation, and John 7 are discussed as the hosts wrestle with doubt, salvation, religious deception, and what it means to seek a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ.Where do you agree or disagree with Dave Hunt’s conclusions? Is the Roman Catholic Church the woman who rides the beast, or does the evidence require a more careful reading? Share your thoughts in the comments.

What happens to the mind and spirit in the moments between waking and sleep? In this episode of Fridays Are for the Lord, Ed Mabrie of Faith By Reason joins the Nephilim Death Squad crew for a wide-ranging discussion about spiritual warfare, sleep paralysis, nighttime anxiety, brainwave frequencies, prayer, generational blessings, and forgiveness.

Ed explains why he believes spiritual attacks often intensify when people are falling asleep, waking up, or experiencing the vulnerable mental state associated with dreams. The conversation explores the conscious and unconscious mind, alpha, beta, theta, and delta states, the “veil” between the physical and spiritual realms, 3 A.M. awakenings, night terrors, and whether tools commonly associated with binaural beats or New Age spirituality can be redirected toward biblical meditation, Scripture, and spiritual preparedness.

The discussion then turns to morning routines, social media overload, intrusive thoughts, fear, and anxiety. The hosts examine how Christians can distinguish ordinary stress from a spiritual attack, take every thought captive in Christ, pray repeatedly without falling into vain repetition, and approach God honestly as a Father. They reference the Psalms of David, the Sermon on the Mount, the Pharisees, biblical fasting, authentic prayer, and the danger of performative religion.

Later, Ed and the crew debate whether prayer has a transactional or judicial dimension. They discuss Genesis, God’s rest, David and Solomon, Jesus praying for future believers, salvation by grace through faith, heavenly rewards, obedience, praying “in Jesus’ name,” and the difference between salvation and reward. The episode also examines generational blessings through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Esau, and the twelve tribes of Israel, along with spiritual inheritance, generational curses, and leaving children more than material wealth.

The conversation closes with forgiveness and gratitude as offensive spiritual warfare. Forgiveness is presented not as approving evil, but as refusing personal vengeance and turning judgment over to God.

What do you believe happens spiritually during sleep? Can biblical prayer, gratitude, and forgiveness change the way Christians confront spiritual attacks? Share your perspective in the comments.

L.A. Marzulli joins Straight Bible for an in-depth conversation about the Nephilim, fallen angels, UFO disclosure, Roswell, Fatima, Bible prophecy, and what he believes may be the coming great deception. Drawing from decades of research, 34 films, and 16 books, Marzulli explains how subjects once rejected by much of the church have entered mainstream discussions about aliens, non-human intelligence, ancient civilizations, and government UFO programs. The episode begins with the Newark Earthworks in Ohio, the massive octagon mound, the 18.5-year lunar standstill, and the Book of Enoch’s account of forbidden knowledge. Marzulli then presents his research into elongated skulls from Peru and Bolivia, DNA testing, unusual cranial features, and the possibility of a connection to the post-Flood Nephilim. The discussion examines Genesis 3:15, the “seed” of the serpent, the Sethite theory, the days of Noah, alien implants, the mark of the beast, and whether modern abduction accounts could involve hybridization. Marzulli also recounts his investigation of the Roswell crash site, unusual metal recovered from the debris field, Jesse Marcel, Walter Haut, Hangar 84, and the alleged government cover-up. From there, the conversation turns to the 1917 Fatima apparitions, archival photographs, eyewitness testimony, the Vatican, Mary as the “Queen of Heaven,” the divine feminine, goddess worship, serpent traditions, and the claim that Fatima may have been a UFO-related deception rather than a biblical appearance. The final portion connects UFO disclosure with end-times prophecy. Topics include a possible nuclear crisis, mile-wide craft appearing over major cities, channeled New Age teachings, the rapture, the ten virgins, 2 Thessalonians 2, 1 Timothy 4:1, Amos 9:14–15, Israel’s restoration in 1948, Ezekiel 38–39, Revelation 19, and the literal millennial reign of Christ. Marzulli closes by sharing his extraordinary three-second experience on a flying white horse and his interpretation of Christ’s returning heavenly army. What do you believe the UFO phenomenon represents: extraterrestrial visitors, spiritual deception, or something else? Share your thoughts in the comments.

In Sermon on the Mount Part 21, this in-depth Bible study examines Matthew 6:19-24 and Jesus’ command to stop laying up treasures on earth and begin storing up treasures in heaven. The central question is simple but searching: Where is your treasure, and what does it reveal about your heart? This episode explores the difference between temporary success and eternal wealth, why no one can serve both God and mammon, and how Christians can redirect the same discipline, ambition, and work ethic once spent on earthly gain toward the Kingdom of God. A personal testimony of losing savings, property, and years of labor shows how quickly material security can disappear—and why eternal rewards must become the believer’s true investment. The discussion connects Matthew 6 with Colossians 3:1-2, 2 Peter 3:1-14, 1 Peter 1:22-25, Revelation 21:1-7, Luke 12, Exodus 19, 1 Peter 2, Hebrews 11, Colossians 1, 2 Corinthians 4, and Matthew 19. The study covers the rich fool, the rich young ruler, the return of Christ, the new heaven and new earth, the eternal Word of God, and the calling to live as strangers and pilgrims in this world. You will also hear a challenging discussion about biblical stewardship, covetousness, retirement culture, religious institutions, the mustard seed parable, and the difference between building political systems and building the living Church through transformed people. Abraham, Moses, Noah, Enoch, Abel, Peter, and Paul are examined as examples of faith directed toward an unseen and eternal Kingdom. What does it practically mean to be “rich toward God”? How can believers store God’s Word in their hearts, preach Christ, serve others, and invest their lives in what cannot be stolen, corrupted, or destroyed? Share your thoughts in the comments: What does storing up treasure in heaven look like in your daily life?

Do James 2:24 and Romans 3:28 contradict on faith and works? Plus viewer questions from the July 17, 2026 live Q&A on Genesis 1 and 2, tithing, Numbers 16 and more.
Straight Bible Q&A, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

James 2:24 says "by works a man is justified, and not by faith only," and Romans 3:28 says "a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." Matt answers that Romans 3 is about works of the law, while James 2 is about works of faith: Abraham offering Isaac and Rahab receiving the messengers, and neither of them was under the law. There is no smoke without a fire. "For by grace are ye saved through faith... Not of works," yet "we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works" (Ephesians 2:8-10).

Other questions: should pastors be paid, should Christians tithe 10%, was Job before Adam (Genesis 1 and 2), the scariest prophecies (Luke 4; Isaiah 61), was Jesus heard in Gethsemane (Hebrews 5:7), Korah's rebellion (Numbers 16), eternal rewards and salvation, non-canonical books, leaving your church, asking angels for help (Acts 12), David's census (2 Samuel 24; 1 Chronicles 21), why God put the tree in the garden, the book of the wars of the Lord (Numbers 21), alcohol, and whether a registered sex offender can be a lead pastor (1 Thessalonians 5).

Questions answered
- Should pastors be paid? (5:47)
- Should Christians tithe 10%? (33:38)
- Was Job before Adam? (41:30)
- Do James 2 and Romans 3 contradict on faith and works? (56:51)
- Can we ask angels for help? (1:47:56)

Why was Jesus made a little lower than the angels? Hebrews 2:9-15: "for the suffering of death," so that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death.
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 5, hosted by Matt Hepner with Otis Fowler and David "The Raven" Corbo.

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man" (Hebrews 2:9). Otis and Matt explain why Jesus had to become fully man: "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14-15).

Along the way: "we see not yet all things put under him" (Hebrews 2:8), Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:28-31), "by one man sin entered into the world" (Romans 5:12), "that he might destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8), docetism and whether Jesus really came in the flesh, "in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9-10), hardened hearts (John 12; Isaiah 6), and the captain of our salvation made "perfect through sufferings" (Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 5:8), who "ever liveth to make intercession" (Hebrews 7:25).

It opens on the heart that "is deceitful above all things" (Jeremiah 17:9), witchcraft and the blood debt, being "stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1-2), and the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 2:1-6).

Questions answered
- Why did Jesus have to become fully man? (27:13)
- What does "all things put under his feet" mean? (28:37)
- Why was Jesus made a little lower than the angels? (40:30)
- How did Jesus destroy him that had the power of death? (49:21)
- What are the works of the devil Jesus came to destroy? (50:27)
- Did Jesus really come in the flesh? (1:13:03)
- How was Jesus made perfect through sufferings? (1:33:45)

How should Christians fast? In Matthew 6:16-18 (KJV) Jesus says "when ye fast," not "if," and to fast "unto thy Father which is in secret."
Sermon on the Mount Pt 20, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt points out that the problem in our generation is not fasting for attention; it is not fasting at all. Jesus said "when ye fast" the same way He said "when thou prayest" and "when thou doest thine alms." Fasting is choosing to go without food you have access to, which is different from hunger (Paul's "in fastings often," 2 Corinthians 11:27), and it says amen to "man shall not live by bread alone" (Matthew 4:1-4).

Why didn't Jesus' disciples fast? Because the bridegroom was with them: "then shall they fast in those days" (Luke 5:33-35). The hosts also cover the tithe eaten before the Lord (Deuteronomy 14:23-26), the Pharisee who said "I fast twice in the week" (Luke 18:9-14), the fast God has chosen (Isaiah 58), and "did ye at all fast unto me?" (Zechariah 7:4-7).

Then fasting in action: Ezra at the river of Ahava (Ezra 8:21-23), the church at Antioch fasting before sending out Barnabas and Saul (Acts 13:1-3), "I humbled my soul with fasting" (Psalm 35:13), Paul's thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:7-10), Ahab humbling himself (1 Kings 21:27-29), Nineveh's fast (Jonah 3), Esther's three-day fast (Esther 4:16), and the "Daniel fast" (Daniel 1:8-16; Daniel 10:1-12). Matt closes with his own 21-day Daniel fast and a weekly fast he took up from John Wesley's journal.

Questions answered
- Is fasting optional for Christians? (1:09)
- What is the difference between fasting and hunger? (5:46)
- Why didn't Jesus' disciples fast? (11:16)
- What is the danger of fasting? (16:35)
- What kind of fast does God choose in Isaiah 58? (18:09)
- Does God respond when we humble ourselves with fasting? (1:04:54)
- What is a Daniel fast? (1:20:48)

What is dispensationalism? Bennis the Menace tests it against Romans 9:6, Revelation 3:9 and Revelation 20, and traces it to John Darby in 1830.
A Straight Bible guest episode with Bennis the Menace, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Bennis earned a biblical studies degree at Moody Bible Institute, then spent about a year re-studying the end-times system he was taught. He calls dispensationalism standard evangelical end-times teaching, invented in 1830 by John Darby, and says a "dispensation" is not the same as dispensationalism.

On Israel, Bennis argues from "they are not all Israel, which are of Israel" (Romans 9:6), Jesus in John 8:39-44, John the Baptist's "think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father" (Matthew 3:9), and "the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not" (Revelation 3:9; Revelation 2:9). He says no New Testament passage promises a regathering after the AD 70 dispersion, and that apocalyptic language must be read as its first audience read it.

Later: the pre-tribulation rapture, Satan bound a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-10), the strong man bound (Matthew 12:28-29), Satan's little season, "all Israel shall be saved" (Romans 11:26), and a tangent on the world before the flood (Numbers 13:23). Daniel's 70 weeks is saved for a future episode.

Questions answered
- What is dispensationalism? (2:16)
- What does "they are not all Israel, which are of Israel" mean? (9:08)
- Who is the synagogue of Satan in Revelation? (33:44)
- Does the Bible promise to regather Israel after AD 70? (37:29)
- What is Satan's little season? (49:21)
- Is there a pre-tribulation rapture in the Bible? (1:04:01)

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Hebrews 2:5-9 quotes Psalm 8: God put the world to come under man, not angels, and "we see Jesus."
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 4, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta with Otis Fowler.

Otis walks through Hebrews 2:5-9 (read on air from the NASB) alongside Psalm 8 and Genesis 1-3. God did not put the world to come in subjection to angels; He gave dominion to man. Adam lost that dominion through sin, and Jesus, who took on flesh and blood, tasted death for every man and restores what Adam lost.

Along the way: Jew and Gentile made one new man (Ephesians 2:12-19), why a third of the angels rebelled, "had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Corinthians 2:7-8), whether Psalm 8:5 means lower than God or lower than the angels, "what is man?" in Job 7:17 and Psalm 144:3-4, "we see not yet all things put under him" (Hebrews 2:8), why there is evil if God is in charge, and God's order in creation from Genesis 1:31 through the curse (Genesis 3:17-19) to reconciliation in Christ (Colossians 1:19-20).

Questions answered
- Why wasn't the world to come put under angels? (11:09)
- What is "the world to come" in Hebrews 2, Verse 5? (22:37)
- Why did a third of the angels rebel? (26:04)
- Does Psalm 8, Verse 5 mean lower than God or lower than the angels? (51:03)
- What does "we see not yet all things put under him" mean? (1:24:08)
- If God is in charge, why is there evil in the world? (1:26:03)
- What did Adam lose, and how does Jesus restore it? (1:49:38)

Will God forgive you if you don't forgive others? Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV): "if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Sermon on the Mount Pt 19, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt calls it a blank check. In Matthew 6:14-15 Jesus hands you the check: you write it out for forgiving or for not forgiving, but either way you cash it. Your life is a blank check, and you are as close to God as you want to be. The same pattern runs through "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy" (Matthew 5:7), "when ye stand praying, forgive" (Mark 11:25-26), and "all things are yours" (1 Corinthians 3:21-23).

From there: the faithful and wise servant (Matthew 24:42-51), "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves" (2 Chronicles 7:13-14), "With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful" (2 Samuel 22:26-28), "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble" (James 4:4-10; 1 Peter 5:5-10), sowing to the Spirit (Galatians 6:7-8; Galatians 5:16-17), confessing Christ before men (Matthew 10:32-33; Romans 10:8-13; John 12:42-43), the widow's oil that flowed until the vessels ran out (2 Kings 4:1-7), five barley loaves and two small fishes (John 6:1-13), and the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30).

It opens on the Orthodox vs Protestant debate: take what is good, but do not join a camp just because it attacks the other one, the same division Paul faced in Corinth.

Questions answered
- What does "your life is a blank check" mean? (7:37)
- Will God forgive you if you don't forgive others? (8:13)
- Does God show mercy to the merciful? (18:36)
- What does "all things are yours" mean in 1 Corinthians 3? (19:26)
- Who is the faithful and wise servant? (33:00)
- How do you resist the devil? (47:53)
- How do you stop fulfilling the lust of the flesh? (57:18)
- Why did the servant hide his one talent? (1:30:21)

How do you share the gospel with your family? Stephen DeMattis was saved at 18, then preached the wide and narrow way (Matthew 7:13-14) to his dad.
A Straight Bible guest episode with Stephen DeMattis of Biblical Hitman, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Stephen DeMattis, a former firefighter and the host of Biblical Hitman, tells how a friend back from Teen Challenge preached the gospel to him at 18. He was saved and baptized that night, went home, and preached the wide road to destruction and the narrow road (Matthew 7:13-14) to his dad, who got angry. After years of tension his dad gave his life to the Lord. His advice: people already feel something when the gospel comes to them, and a close call is the time to say "you're living on borrowed time."

Also: growing up near Parkland and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, a family of pro baseball players, a house fire he worked as a firefighter, planting a food forest and building a house on his land, how Biblical Hitman grew out of fallen-angel and Nephilim topics, the podcast algorithm, the woman taken in adultery ("He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," John 8:7), Alice Bailey, the Lucis Trust and the coming Antichrist, Disclosure Day, House of David and The Chosen, and which Bible translation to read.

Questions answered
- How did Stephen come to Christ at 18? (57:23)
- How do you share the gospel with your family? (59:12)
- How do you share the gospel with strangers? (1:05:19)
- How did Biblical Hitman start? (1:20:27)

Why did Saul turn against David? In 1 Samuel 18 the women sang "Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands," and Saul was very wroth.
A Nephilim Death Squad episode on the Straight Bible channel, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt reads David's story in 1 Samuel 16-22 as a pattern, half joking that Owen Benjamin is King David. Samuel anoints the shepherd boy because "man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7). David plays the harp for Saul, refuses Saul's armour (1 Samuel 17:38-40), and "the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David" (1 Samuel 18:1).

Then the turn: the women sing "Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands," and "Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him" (1 Samuel 18:7-8). Saul eyes David, casts the javelin (1 Samuel 18:11), offers his daughters as a snare, and hunts him to Naioth in Ramah (1 Samuel 19:18-24). David feigns madness before Achish (1 Samuel 21:10-15) and hides in the cave Adullam, where "every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him" (1 Samuel 22:1-2). In the typology, Saul stands for "the system."

It opens with spiritual warfare stories, Jess healed after a week of dizziness, and "Love not the world" (1 John 2:15), and it closes on what God is looking for: real people, not actors.

Questions answered
- Why did God choose David over his brothers? (38:06)
- Why did Jonathan love David as his own soul? (48:54)
- Why did Saul turn against David? (56:10)
- Why did Saul throw a javelin at David? (57:10)
- Who gathered to David at the cave Adullam? (1:23:32)

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? Hebrews 2:1-4 (KJV) warns "lest at any time we should let them slip": drifting from Christ starts with neglect.
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 3, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta with Otis Fowler.

Chapter 1 showed Jesus above the prophets and the angels. Hebrews 2 opens with the first warning of the book: "we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip" (Hebrews 2:1). Otis explains that nobody drifts toward holiness. Drift is what happens when you stop rowing, one small neglect at a time.

"For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation" (Hebrews 2:2-3)? The hosts look at Uzzah and the ark (2 Samuel 6:6-7), being "sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" (Hebrews 10:10; 2 Corinthians 5:21), creation leaving men "without excuse" (Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:19-20), the unforgivable sin, the quail in the wilderness (Numbers 11), and the eyewitnesses of the Word of life (Luke 1:2; 1 John 1:1-3).

Verse 4: God bore witness "with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost." That leads to Mark 16:15-20, what speaking in tongues is, a follow-up on the two witnesses from the last Q&A, and "Who hath believed our report?" (Isaiah 53:1). It opens with Otis on the secret of the Lord (Proverbs 2:1-6; Proverbs 3:32; Psalm 119).

Questions answered
- What does "lest at any time we should let them slip" mean? (16:14)
- Why do Christians drift away from God? (20:16)
- Why did God strike Uzzah for touching the ark? (34:13)
- What is the unforgivable sin? (54:31)
- How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? (59:10)
- What signs follow them that believe? (1:23:33)
- What is speaking in tongues? (1:27:09)

What does "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" mean? Matthew 6:12-13 (KJV): we ask to be forgiven as we forgive, so faith has to show up in how we live.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 18, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:12-13). Matt points out that even in the Lord's Prayer we do not ask for forgiveness on its own. We ask for it "as we forgive." The ball is in your court, and your life is a blank check. "Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another" (Ephesians 4:32), and the servant who was forgiven a huge debt and then choked his fellow servant (Matthew 18) shows what the other road looks like.

The theme is faith without works: faith that produces action. The man sick of the palsy (Mark 2), the woman who said "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole" (Mark 5), "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not" (1 John 3), "I am the vine, ye are the branches" (John 15), taking up the cross (Matthew 16:24-27), "created in Christ Jesus unto good works" (Ephesians 2:10), "God hath not given us the spirit of fear" (2 Timothy 1:7), and "by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Corinthians 15:10).

It ends with the parable of the talents (Matthew 25). The servant who hid his talent said "I was afraid," and "the fearful" head the list in Revelation 21:8. Matt's answer: walk through it afraid.

Questions answered
- What does "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" mean? (2:01)
- What does "lead us not into temptation" mean? (2:33)
- Why did the unforgiving servant lose his forgiveness? (5:06)
- What does "faith without works is dead" look like in real life? (10:59)
- Were Old Testament saints born again? (31:00)
- Why did the servant hide his talent? (1:11:34)

Why is Jesus called a worm in Psalm 22:6? "But I am a worm, and no man." Pastor Rick on the crimson worm (tola) and being led by the Holy Spirit (John 16:7).
A Straight Bible guest episode with Pastor Rick of LIFE Church AG in Fruitland Park, FL, hosted by Matt Hepner, TopLobsta and David "The Raven" Corbo.

Pastor Rick, the pastor of TopLobsta and The Raven, comes on the show. When he heard Psalm 22 brought up, "But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people" (Psalm 22:6), he saw a prophecy about Jesus and looked up the Hebrew word tola, the crimson worm. When the worm dies on the tree, it stains the tree and covers its young, and its shell turns white: "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18).

Is the Holy Spirit still working today? Rick tells how a visitor about 29 years ago gave him advice, and how from that time on the church has invited the Holy Spirit into everything it does: his plan is always "subject to the presence of Holy Spirit." "It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you" (John 16:7). Also: reconciliation between Christians (Matthew 18:15), God looking for disciples rather than numbers, growing from nine supported missionaries to 240, and being invited into the fellowship of the Trinity (John 17:21).

His testimony: growing up in a paper mill town in North Louisiana, getting saved at a revival, telling his unbelieving dad (an ex-boxer), "deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me," people turning toward Christ after the Charlie Kirk news, the call to repentance, "the fields are white already to harvest" (John 4:35), and his son Josh coming back to God at a missionary's altar call.

Questions answered
- Why is Jesus called a worm in Psalm 22, Verse 6? (8:56)
- What is the crimson worm (tola)? (35:01)
- Is God looking for disciples or numbers? (13:42)
- How does the Holy Spirit lead a church service? (23:52)
- Why did Jesus say it was expedient that He go away? (32:56)
- What does "take up your cross" mean? (55:58)
- Why is the call to repentance important? (1:05:13)

What does "Give us this day our daily bread" mean? Matthew 6:11 (KJV): Jesus teaches us to ask for today, and "man shall not live by bread alone" (Matthew 4:4).
Sermon on the Mount Pt 17, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

"Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11). Matt reads the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:7-15 and starts with "godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6-10) and "take no thought for the morrow." Then the bread itself: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:3), "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35), and Job, who "esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food" (Job 23:12).

Most of the episode is in the wilderness. God rains "bread from heaven" to prove them day by day (Exodus 16:4), "man did eat angels' food" (Psalm 78:25), and the manna does not fall on the sabbath. In Numbers 11 the mixed multitude lusts for flesh, Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp, and the quail end at Kibroth-hattaavah, "because there they buried the people that lusted." Deuteronomy 8 warns not to say "My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth."

The last stretch moves into verse 12: the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18:23-35), the woman who "loved much" (Luke 7:36-50), "faith without works is dead" (James 2:14-26), and Peter walking on the water.

Questions answered
- What does "godliness with contentment is great gain" mean? (2:39)
- What does "give us this day our daily bread" mean? (10:08)
- What does "man shall not live by bread alone" mean? (10:19)
- Why did the manna not fall on the sabbath? (22:18)
- Why did God send quail in Numbers 11? (28:21)

Why didn't God punish Aaron for the golden calf? Exodus 32 (KJV), plus the two witnesses (Revelation 11) and more from the July 6, 2026 live Q&A.
Straight Bible Q&A, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Beach Boy asks why God did not punish Aaron right away after he made the golden calf. Matt and Top read Exodus 32. "When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount," they asked Aaron to make gods, and Aaron called a feast to the LORD in front of the calf: delay led to mixed worship. "The LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people" (verse 14), the sons of Levi answered "Who is on the LORD's side?" (verse 26), and Moses prayed, "if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written" (verse 32). Their answer: the responsibility falls on both Aaron and the people, and God still had a role for Aaron in the story.

Other questions: the season of Christ's return, being born into sin (John 1:9), the Amalekites, how Jesus was born without sin, Ecclesiastes 1, fire or lightning from heaven (Leviticus 9:22-24), NASB95 or NLT, the Recovery Version, extra-biblical books, a Wednesday crucifixion, Esau's birthright, purgatory, "flesh and bones" (Luke 24:39), and "greater works than these" (John 14:12).

Near the end: are the two witnesses of Revelation 11 Moses and Elijah come back, or two people born in our day?

Questions answered
- Are we expected to know the season of Christ's return? (20:55)
- Are we born into sin? (24:42)
- Why did God say to wipe out the Amalekites? (29:27)
- Why didn't God punish Aaron for the golden calf? (1:11:19)
- Is purgatory in the Bible? (2:09:22)
- Who are the two witnesses in Revelation 11? (2:26:15)
- What does "greater works than these" mean? (2:31:03)

Does God know the future? Ed Mabrie argues God knows our tendencies but not choices we have not made, and the hosts answer with Genesis 18:17-19.
Fridays Are For The Lord with Ed Mabrie (Faith By Reason), Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Ed Mabrie joins Matt Hepner and TopLobsta and shares his new book on the letters to the seven churches (Revelation 1-4) and his spiritual warfare course. The first hour covers being born again ("Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God," John 3:3), familiar spirits, the four voices, God's "still small voice" (1 Kings 19:12), the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17), and why the church is not a building.

Then the big debate. Ed says God does not know how faithful you are going to be, because you are an entity of free choice: "The choice I'm going to make tomorrow doesn't exist yet." He walks through the satan in Job 1, Abraham and Isaac (Hebrews 11:17-19), prophecy, and Calvinism and irresistible grace. The hosts push back with "Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do... For I know him" (Genesis 18:17-19). These are Ed's views; the hosts don't all agree.

It ends with hell as separation from the Father ("My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"), whether eternal punishment is just, the man who never heard ("Jungle Joe"), Cornelius and "in every nation he that feareth him... is accepted with him" (Acts 10:35), a calling into ministry, and David's lion and bear (1 Samuel 17).

Questions answered
- Does God know the future choices of free people? (42:50)
- Can you love without free will? (47:00)
- What about Bible prophecy? (43:49)
- What is irresistible grace? (55:16)
- What does "For I know him" in Genesis 18, Verse 19 mean? (1:05:55)
- What made the cross so hard for Jesus? (1:11:42)
- What about people who never hear the gospel? (1:21:55)

What does it mean to be born again? John 3:3-7 (KJV): "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Born into the kingdom of Matthew 6:10.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 16, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Pt 16 recaps "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done" (Matthew 6:10) and asks how you get into that kingdom. There are two kingdoms: "every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation" (Matthew 12:25), the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46), and "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord" (Matthew 7:21). Nobody casually ends up in heaven. We are "without strength" until "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:6-8), because the natural man is "alienated from the life of God" (Ephesians 4:17-18) and "the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not" (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

Then John 3: Nicodemus comes by night, and Jesus says "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God... Ye must be born again" (John 3:3-7). Along the way: baptism as burial with Him (Romans 6:1-7), "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30), and "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness" (John 3:14; Numbers 21:8-9).

It closes back in Matthew 6: "Thy will be done," "Bless the LORD, O my soul" (Psalm 103), "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11), life as "a vapour" (James 4:13-15), "he hath set the world in their heart" (Ecclesiastes 3:11), and "godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6-10).

Questions answered
- What are the two kingdoms in Matthew 12? (1:15)
- Who are the sheep and the goats? (5:05)
- Who will enter the kingdom of heaven? (12:02)
- Where do babies go when they die? (18:29)
- What does it mean to be born again? (33:08)
- Why did Jesus compare Himself to the brass serpent? (49:39)
- What does "life is a vapour" mean? (1:22:41)

Why is Jesus better than the angels? Hebrews 1:5-14: God never said to an angel "Thou art my Son," and to the Son He says "Thy throne, O God, is for ever."
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 2, with Otis Fowler, Matt Hepner, TopLobsta and the Raven.

"For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?" (Hebrews 1:5). After a recap of Hebrews 1:1-4, Otis reads Hebrews 1:4-14. The Son took the form of a servant (Philippians 2:7), "Thou art my Son" comes from Psalm 2:7, and He was foreordained before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:20). The only begotten Son is set against the sons of God in Job 1:6.

Worshipping angels is a warning sign (Colossians 2:18; Galatians 1:8). They cover the spirit of antichrist, "forbidding to marry" (1 Timothy 4:1-5), and "Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). Angels are "ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation" (Hebrews 1:14), and Gabriel stands "in the presence of God" (Luke 1:19).

"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever" (Hebrews 1:8). From there: the parable of the vineyard (Isaiah 5), whether angels look like men, the fulness of the Godhead (Colossians 1:15-20; 2:9), Isaiah 53, and "a body hast thou prepared me" (Hebrews 10:4-7; Psalm 40:6-8).

Questions answered
- Why is Jesus better than the angels? (11:51)
- What does "this day have I begotten thee" mean? (14:20)
- Should Christians worship angels? (19:11)
- What are ministering spirits? (26:04)
- What is an angel of light? (34:11)
- Why does God call the Son "O God" in Hebrews 1, Verse 8? (46:24)
- Do angels look like men? (56:02)
