Straight Bible

Has the modern church system failed? Zack Killey of The Berean Files shares his testimony and talks church growth, house churches and biblical ministry.
Zack Killey on Straight Bible (a hybrid Sermon on the Mount episode 22 night), hosted by Matt Hepner.

Zack shares growing up in church, life on the road with music, and the dream about "Tiamat" that turned him back to God and into telling people about Jesus. He became a pastor without seminary. From there: the church growth model, youth ministry, house churches and mega churches, whether pastors should be paid, the 501(c)(3) system, the worship music formula vs hymns, church hurt, and why pastors' kids go off the rails.

Later: the Great Commission, religious spirits, preaching with fire and tears, a story of praying for a friend in the hospital, horror movies and spiritual influence, masks and altered identity, and what it means that every Christian has a ministry.

Questions answered
• How did a dream bring Zack back to God? (16:45)
• Can you be a pastor without seminary? (30:28)
• Should pastors be paid? (1:03:18)
• Why do pastors' kids go off the rails? (1:25:22)
• What does it mean to have a ministry? (2:18:34)

What does it mean to labor in the word? Matthew 6:19-24 (KJV) and 1 Timothy 5:17-18: "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn."
Sermon on the Mount Pt 22, hosted by Matt Hepner.

Matt recaps the rich young ruler (Matthew 19:16-22), then shows how Jesus says to "Labour not for the meat which perisheth" (John 6:27). The treasure hid in a field and the scribe who "bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old" (Matthew 13:44-52) lead into the faithful and wise steward of Luke 12:32-48 and "stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1-2).

Then come the elders who "labour in the word and doctrine" (1 Timothy 5:17-18), what a true preacher looks like, the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), and why shallow preaching is a problem. The study closes with Manasseh's idolatry (2 Kings 21), Jeremiah 7, Deuteronomy 12:29-32, and King Josiah finding the lost book of the law (2 Kings 22).

Questions answered
• What treasure is hidden in a field? (6:30)
• Who is the faithful and wise steward? (20:24)
• What does it mean to labor in the word like an ox? (34:31)
• What should a true preacher look like? (44:45)
• Is the Word of God our heavenly treasure? (1:21:03)

Later they get into Lot's wife, conscience and creation, the Lincoln and Kennedy synchronicities, King David and Goliath, and practical next steps if the economy crashes.

Questions answered
• What does "How to Slay a Wizard" mean? (24:43)
• Are slogans a kind of spell? (27:38)
• What is polarity seeding? (32:07)

"O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD" (Isaiah 2:5, KJV). Spurgeon's widely shared quote about the Jews, read in its context.
C.H. Spurgeon Sermon Breakdown Pt 1, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt and TopLobsta start Charles Spurgeon's sermon "Walking in the Light of the Lord" and put a much-shared Spurgeon quote about the Jews back into its context. Along the way: dispensationalism and Zionism, what it actually means to bless Israel, Isaiah 2:1-5, natural Israel and the spiritual people of God, praying for Israel and the grafted olive tree, and Jacob, Esau and the birthright.

They also cover Balaam and Numbers 24:9, politics, propaganda and current events, the joy of bringing someone to Christ, and new wine in new bottles (Luke 5:38). It ends with Spurgeon on spiritual sluggishness and recovering zeal.

Questions answered
• What did Spurgeon actually say about the Jews? (2:04)
• What does it mean to bless Israel? (15:14)
• Is political support the same as blessing Israel? (38:59)
• Can new converts wake up a lukewarm church? (1:21:22)

Can the enemy program you while you sleep? Ed Mabrie of Faith By Reason on what you take in before bed, spiritual attacks and praying with authority.
Fridays Are For The Lord w/ Ed Mabrie, with TopLobsta, Raven and Matt Hepner.

Ed Mabrie talks about what you listen to before you fall asleep, the unconscious mind, and how to stay receptive to God. Then: flow states, whether 3 A.M. is inherently evil, how to recognize a spiritual attack, and praying authority over your life first thing in the morning.

Also: why faith is about Jesus and not the rituals of the church fathers, praying out loud, trembling and emotional displays, sermons that hit exactly what you are going through, "lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth" (Matthew 6:19), passing faith to the next generation, asking God on the basis of justice, poverty and struggle as a blessing, the unpopular scriptures, and forgiveness.

Questions answered
• Can the enemy program you while you sleep? (9:03)
• Is 3 A.M. a spiritually evil hour? (17:26)
• How do you know it is a spiritual attack? (22:04)
• How do you pass faith on to your kids? (55:48)

How do you store up treasure in heaven? Matthew 6:19-24 (KJV): "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt."
Sermon on the Mount Pt 21, hosted by Matt Hepner.

Matt reads Matthew 6:19-21 and asks what it means to redirect the same drive once spent on earthly gain toward the kingdom. He shares losing everything twice. Then: "Set your affection on things above" (Colossians 3:1-2), the day of the Lord in 2 Peter 3, the institutional church vs the biblical church and the mustard seed, and the word that "endureth for ever" (1 Peter 1:22-25).

Also covered: the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1-7), the rich fool and covetousness (Luke 12:15-21), faithful stewards, God's "peculiar treasure" (Exodus 19:3-6), a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9-11), the faith of Abraham, Noah and Moses (Hebrews 11), "Christ in you" (Colossians 1:25-27), "this treasure in earthen vessels" (2 Corinthians 4:1-7), and the rich young ruler (Matthew 19).

Questions answered
• How do we store up treasure in heaven? (28:21)
• What did losing everything teach about eternal value? (6:35)
• Who was the rich fool in Luke 12? (36:17)
• Why did Moses reject the treasures of Egypt? (1:07:39)
• What is the treasure in earthen vessels? (1:15:37)

Why would you invite a spiritual attack? NDS and Straight Bible join STAX on The Sh!t Show to talk occult books, fear, and DNA tampering in the Bible.
NDS and Straight Bible on The Sh!t Show with host STAX.

A live crossover on The Sh!t Show. The guys talk about a daughter's heart condition, farm life, and whether to get involved with pagan topics and old occult books. If "this stuff works," why invite an attack? They also get into how often the Bible says not to be afraid, especially during COVID.

Later: genetic manipulation and the "lionlike men of Moab" (2 Samuel 23:20), the angels at Jesus' birth, technocracy and the future, leaving construction work, and passing what they have learned on to their kids.

Questions answered
• Why invite a spiritual attack? (21:05)
• Does the Bible talk about DNA tampering? (1:09:17)
• Who were the lionlike men of Moab? (1:12:20)

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 David's census a sin? (1:59:59)
- Why did God put the tree in the garden? (2:12:24)
