What Is the Root Cause of Anxiety? You Cannot Serve God and Mammon | Sermon on the Mount Pt 28 | Straight Bible
2026-10-17 | 1h 31 mins.STRAIGHT BIBLE SATURDAY on Nephilim Death Squad.
What is the root cause of anxiety? In Matthew 6:24-34 (KJV), Jesus says you cannot serve God and mammon, and serving mammon only feeds anxiety. "Take no thought" doesn't mean do nothing. It means take no anxiety: do the work, then, having done all, stand (Ephesians 6:13).
Sermon on the Mount Pt 28, hosted by Matttttt Hepner and TopLobsta.
The birds of the air work every day and the lilies of the field can only stand, yet God feeds and clothes both. Matttttt walks through working heartily as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:22-24), clean hands and a pure heart (Psalm 24:3-5), your labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58), and David's mighty men, where Shammah stood his ground in the field of lentils (2 Samuel 23). Your heavenly Father, not mammon, is the provider.
Then the great "stand still" moments: Moses at the Red Sea and God asking "Wherefore criest thou unto me?" (Exodus 14), the Red Sea as a type of baptism (1 Corinthians 10:1-2), Peter asleep in chains (Acts 12), Hannah's prayer (1 Samuel 1), "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10), 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."
What's your bean field, the one place God has called you to stand? Tell us.
Questions answered:
- Does "take no thought" mean do nothing? (00:01:26)
- What does "having done all, to stand" mean? (00:15:56)
- What is the root cause of anxiety? (00:25:17)
- Why did God ask Moses, "Wherefore criest thou unto me?" (00:48:45)
- What does 2 Timothy 1:7 say about the spirit of fear? (01:23:33)

Researcher Andrew Jones has core samples from the Durupinar formation headed to the lab, and right after the news broke his apartment was ransacked and his hard drives and memory cards were stolen.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE BIBLE STUDY
ndspod.com- Is worship just the music? Zack and Jason of The Berean Files join TopLobsta and David Lee Corbo "The Raven" on Nephilim Death Squad to dig into the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), worship and worship music, and who is really writing the songs your church sings.
Jason, a worship pastor who says he has led worship from the stage for about 30 years, defines worship as ascribing worth to something, and the guys argue that worship is every minute of your life, not just the songs on Sunday. They ask why churches guard the pulpit but not the music ministry, when the lyrics of a song stick with people long after the sermon is forgotten, and why people get more defensive when you question a worship song than when you push back on a sermon.
Then it's into the NAR: modern apostles and prophets, the Seven Mountain Mandate and the idea that religious music is one of the "mountains," Bill Johnson and Bethel, and the claim that a small number of groups are behind most of today's worship songs. The conversation also covers flags and "American Jesus" in worship, worship as a production (lights, stage and theater language), worship schools and the music business, being entertained versus worshiping, whether God can use a Bethel song to draw someone to Him, Bethel's strange practices and prophecy training, and biblical meditation versus emptying your mind.
To close, Zack and Jason break down the lyrics of popular worship songs like Reckless Love, Oceans and No Outsiders, explain why they teach around the lyrics when they introduce a new song, and recommend Brother Lawrence's The Practice of the Presence of God.
Should churches guard the worship set as carefully as the sermon? Tell us in the comments.

ndspod.com - Joe Rogan's guest Dan McClellan says about 16 New Testament passages were "added later on," and that scholars "not really" debate taking them out. Is your Bible missing verses, and does it matter? Ed Mabrie of FaithByReason.net is back for Fridays Are For The Lord with TopLobsta and David Lee Corbo "The Raven." Recorded live on YouTube, Friday, October 9, 2026.
The guys play McClellan's clips from The Joe Rogan Experience #2562 on Matthew 17:21 ("this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting") and Codex Sinaiticus, and Ed explains why God built the Bible like a hologram: take a piece out and you lose resolution, not the picture. Then McClellan's take on hell, annihilation and "temporary torment," and why Ed says you are an eternal being whether you like it or not.
WHAT WE COVER
• Matthew 17:21, Codex Sinaiticus and the long ending of Mark (Mark 16:9-20)
• Hostile jamming: why the gospel is spread through the whole Bible
• What's McClellan's angle, and why "the Bible isn't meant to be understood" is a red flag
• Hell: annihilation, purgatory, Gehenna, Matthew 10:28 and the rich man and Lazarus
• Rogan's question: is it fair for God to send a "good person" to hell?
• Taking away vs. adding to the Bible, and how to test what's been added
• The seed war, Genesis 3:15, the forbidden fruit and Nephilim bloodlines
• Free will and foreknowledge: Abraham, Hezekiah, Moses and "now I know"
• A chat question: did Jesus take away Peter's free will?
Is the King James missing verses, or did modern Bibles drop them? Tell us in the comments.
GUEST
Ed Mabrie, Bible teacher, author of The Jesus Code and founder of FaithByReason.net, back for his recurring Fridays Are For The Lord segment.
