Trey Knowles - Truth & Knowledge

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 92 — Americans and Jews Are Alike In the final episode of 2025, Trey Knowles delivers a thought-provoking message: neither America nor the modern nation of Israel holds any inherent spiritual superiority. What truly matters is whether these nations—and the people within them—do the will of our Father in heaven. Trey emphasizes that the Kingdom of Heaven is established through righteousness, not through national identity or earthly titles. He calls for the faithfulness of Abraham to be reflected in both America and Israel, urging a return to genuine obedience, humility, and spiritual integrity.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 91 - Love God More Than The World” In Episode 91, Trey Knowles boldly declares a foundational truth: “I love God more than the world, and the devil has no hold on me.” This episode confronts the spiritual battle between genuine devotion and worldly deception. Trey exposes how the religious false-prophet beast lures people with the world's rewards, encouraging believers to follow culture rather than Christ. He emphasizes God's continual warning: Do not love the world, for anyone whose heart belongs to the world does not have the Father's presence in them. Trey reminds listeners that many claim to know Jesus, but anyone who refuses to follow His teachings is living a lie. This episode challenges believers to examine their allegiance, reject counterfeit faith, and return to a love that is fully surrendered to God alone.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 90 — “Religious Beasts” In this episode, Trey Knowles exposes the nature of what he calls Religious Beasts. He explains that Scripture teaches we have only one Father in Heaven and only one true Teacher—Yeshua, Jesus Himself. Trey emphasizes that sin carries consequences, and that the only form of religion God accepts, according to James 1:27, is to remain pure and free from corruption. He challenges religious groups whose actions contradict the character of God, questioning how such systems could originate from Him. Throughout the episode, Trey Knowles confronts and examines these Religious Beasts that operate in opposition to God's ways.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 89 — “Counterfeit Christians” In this episode, Trey Knowles exposes those who profess Christ with their lips, yet their spirit and character reveal something entirely different.Jesus came to give us life—but the enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. As the Lord Himself said, “You will know them by their fruits.” Many claim to represent Christianity—institutions such as the Vatican and the Holy Roman and German Empires among them—yet the Scriptures warn, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”Anyone truly born of God does not continue in sin. Those who are of God do not act like Cain, nor do they oppress, colonize, or commit evil against others—for such deeds are not of God's Spirit or His character. Ask yourself this: Does the word holy—as defined by Roman and German kingdoms—truly match God's definition of holiness? Why is there such a difference? Jesus commanded, “Call no man on earth father.”So why does the Vatican call men on earth “Father,” openly disobeying Christ's teaching? Did the disciples of Jesus ever do such things? The Western world claims to follow Christ, yet its actions often reveal the opposite. They honor Him with their mouths, but their works deny Him. Christ did not come to enslave humanity under the burdens of debt, hierarchy, and worldly systems. The Bible tells us not to worry about what we will eat or wear, for our Heavenly Father provides all we need.And yet—from the very mouths of those who claim to represent Christianity—we hear promises of the world: wealth, power, and possessions. These are the things that bind the soul, not free it. Jesus warned clearly: “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them.”Still, those who have colonized and exploited humanity while claiming Christ's name are the same ones offering God's people the world. Trey Knowles calls on you to reflect deeply on this truth:Those who claim to follow Christ—examine their history, their actions, and their spirit. Do they truly reflect the character of Jesus? Do not be surprised by what you see, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore, take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness—but instead, expose them.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 88 “The Power of Jesus' Love” In this episode, Trey Knowles shares how the transforming power of Jesus' love gives him true life and purpose. He explains that Scripture teaches the destructive reality of sin—its ultimate consequence being spiritual death—and how Jesus' love rescues us from that fate. Through Christ, the old sinful nature is washed away, and a new life is born. Trey emphasizes that genuine rebirth in Christ brings real change. A person who is truly born of God does not continue living in sinful habits or patterns. If someone claims to follow Christ yet persists in sin without repentance, they are denying the very power that Jesus offers. The love and grace of Jesus are not only for forgiveness, but also for transformation—leading us away from sin and into obedience, righteousness, and daily surrender. By losing our old life of sin, we gain new life in Christ. Trey testifies that the power of Jesus cleanses him, renews him, and frees him from the works and weight of sin, allowing him to live in the fullness of God's grace, love, and truth.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 87 – “The Root of Evil” In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the true root of evil: the desire for things that stand in opposition to God. He explains how what we choose to dwell on or entertain in our minds can disrupt our peace, distort our perception, and lead us into confusion. When our lives are not built on the right foundation, unhealthy desires can grow like wild weeds. Trey highlights that what a person glorifies has the power to either shape them or break them. When desires take control, a person may fall into sin, willing to do anything to fulfill their wants. At this point, the root of evil becomes indifferent to who is harmed, as long as those desires are satisfied. In this episode, Trey Knowles calls attention to those who feel trapped by their own destructive desires. His message encourages the return of self-awareness, discipline, and spiritual self-control—reminding listeners that freedom begins when we confront the root, not just the surface.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 86 – “Building a Life” In this episode, Trey Knowles emphasizes that all his achievements and possessions mean nothing without Christ. He explains that a truly meaningful life must be built upon a foundation centered in Jesus Christ. Trey acknowledges his need for a Savior and finds refuge in Christ alone. The episode focuses on the idea that building a good and purposeful life is only possible through living in obedience to God and putting the teachings of Jesus into practice. By following Christ, we overcome the world and experience the life He came to give us.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 85 – “Manifestation of Believing”In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the question: How can someone truly believe if they do not respond? He explains that the manifestation of believing is shown through response. Faith comes by hearing the message, and genuine believing is revealed through obedience and faithfulness. When a person walks in faithfulness, it produces the evidence of love, which in turn brings forth the true manifestation of belief. Those who respond to the Lord are recognized as the children of God.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 84 – “Remaining Faithful”In this episode, Trey Knowles emphasizes that true faithfulness is rooted in love. To remain faithful in marriage, one must let go of their old way of life and commit fully to their spouse. Marriage vows are not meant to be broken—faithfulness requires that two become one, united in covenant. Regardless of circumstances, that covenant should remain unbroken. Just as God is the head, and man the head of his wife, love must be ordered rightly: love God above all, for nothing is more worthy than Him.

In Episode 83, of Truth & Knowledge: 'Loving God More", Trey Knowles unpacks what it really means to love God more. True love for God is shown in faithfulness—being willing to surrender our way of life for His. Trey reflects on Jesus' call to “lose our life to gain it,” denying the sinful way of living and choosing God's way instead. This episode challenges us to love God more than the world, to be willing to let go of anything that pulls us away from Him, and to trust that what we gain in Christ far outweighs what we leave behind. Listen in and be encouraged to walk in greater devotion, deeper surrender, and unwavering faithfulness to the One who gives true life.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 82 – “Love Is a Commandment” In this episode, Trey Knowles poses a thought-provoking question: Does love give us a reason to keep living in sin? He teaches that love is not optional but a commandment from God. If we do not love our brothers and sisters, how can we truly claim to love Him? The true evidence that God abides in us is shown through the way we love others.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 81 – "Is My Living in Vain"In this episode, Trey Knowles reflects on the idea that no human can truly know their own path in life, since we didn't create ourselves. He argues that our existence points to a Creator—God—who designed us with a purpose. When we live in a way that goes against that purpose or disobey our Creator, our lives lose meaning and direction. Knowles challenges listeners to examine their lives, ask tough questions, and make necessary changes to live in alignment with the purpose they were created for.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 80 – "Increase" In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the importance of seeking an increase in the things of God rather than worldly possessions. He emphasizes that earthly things are temporary and hold no lasting value, while spiritual growth and godliness have eternal significance. Trey challenges listeners to turn away from the foolishness of the world and instead labor for what is righteous. His message is clear: true increase comes from God, not from material gain. He encourages prayer and a deep desire for spiritual growth, expressing that he no longer wants what the world offers because it is not aligned with godliness.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 79 – "No Longer A Sinner"In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the idea of uprooting sin from our lives and replanting ourselves in Christ. He emphasizes that through God's power, we are equipped to overcome both the world and sin. While all have sinned and fallen short, this is a past reality—we are no longer bound by it. Through Jesus Christ, the power to be free from sin is available to all who live in obedience to His Word.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 78 – "Cancel the Culture"In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the importance of rejecting the culture of the devil and choosing to live for God. He emphasizes that those who continue in sin do not belong to God, as God is righteous and calls His people to be holy. Trey encourages believers to turn away from worldly influences and live in alignment with God's will. The episode highlights how the world, the flesh, and the devil are often seen as the primary forces that oppose God and lead people away from a true relationship with Him.

Truth & Knowledge - Episode 77: "Stop Eating From the Belly of the Beast" In this episode of Truth & Knowledge, Trey Knowles explores the idea that our desires and the influences we allow into our hearts and minds must reflect the character and love of God. He explains that both God and the enemy offer us a "table"—a way of life, a set of values, and choices. The question is: which table are you choosing? If what you seek or accept does not align with God's truth and love, then you're feeding from the "belly of the beast"—a place of deception and destruction, not divine purpose.

Truth & Knowledge – Episode 76: "Behavior Choice" In this episode, Trey Knowles emphasizes that behavior is a personal choice and each individual is responsible for their actions. He discusses the importance of protecting ourselves and our families from sinful behavior, highlighting that both consequences and eternal outcomes—Heaven or Hell—are tied to our choices. Obedience, like self-control, is within every person's reach. Ultimately, we are governed by our desires, but it is up to us to choose whether to follow them or to exercise control.

Truth & Knowledge – Episode 75: "The Acts of Cain" In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the biblical acts of Cain to highlight a powerful message: those who commit murder are following in the footsteps of Cain, not God. He emphasizes that anyone who does not love their brother is not of God, but of the devil. This episode delivers a strong rebuke to those who justify killing in the name of God.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 74 – “I Rebuke You World” In this episode, Trey Knowles declares a strong message of spiritual separation from the world: Christians must not become entangled in the world's systems—especially politics—for these belong to the world, not to God. “Anyone who does not lead me toward repentance in Christ, I must rebuke,” Trey says. “Both political sides—Democrat and Republican—are demonic. This nation must return to God and reject the devil and his ways.” A Nation Serving Two Masters America has become, in Trey's words, a false prophet nation—one that preaches constitutional rights and liberty to sin while still claiming God's name. But Scripture reminds us: No one can serve two masters. Trey reflects on his spiritual journey: “I am running a good race for the Lord. But who is cutting in on me, trying to keep me from obeying the truth—trying to make me agree with sin? Is that not the system of America?” He cites Galatians 5:7–9, warning that “a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” The persuasion of worldly culture does not come from the One who calls us. Those who bring confusion with their worldly systems will face judgment. The Offense of the Cross Trey asks: “If I were preaching that you can do whatever you please under your own authority, why would I be persecuted? Why is there still a conflict between flesh and spirit within us?” If the message of the cross offends no one, then its power has been emptied. But Christ's sacrifice was not in vain. The only thing that truly matters is to love Jesus Christ with all your heart. As Jesus said in John 14:15, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” The Way That Seems Right There is a way that seems right to the world—but if it is not the way of the Lord, it leads only to destruction. You cannot love the world's systems more than you love God. If your heart clings to the “Founding Fathers” and their earthly constitution more than to the Word of God, how can the love of the Father dwell in you? True worshipers must worship in spirit and truth. As Matthew 10:36–39 teaches: “Anyone who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.” Do Not Love the World The Word of God is clear in 1 John 2:15–17: “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” America and the Spirit of the Age Trey poses a sobering question: “Has America been resurrected? Has it been born again in the Spirit of God?” When people cry, ‘Let's make America great again,' Trey asks, “In whose image of greatness are they speaking?” Many glorify the founding fathers and the Constitution rather than the living Christ, justifying their freedom to sin. “Let's make America great again? We rebuke it.” Why follow a beast that does evil in God's sight? Why remain loyal to a system that has become, as Revelation describes, a dwelling place for demons and every unclean spirit? Trey warns believers not to commit spiritual adultery with the ways of America. A Warning from Lot's Wife In Genesis 19, Lot's wife looked back toward Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt. Trey asks: “When you say ‘Let's make America great again,' are you moving forward in Christ—or looking back to a life of self-indulgence and sin?” To look back is to turn from the Spirit of life to the bondage of the flesh. Whose Mark Do You Bear? In the end, Trey challenges the listener to examine their allegiance: “When you vote or pledge loyalty, are you choosing the mark of God or the mark of the beast?” Jesus said in Matthew 10:39, “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.” And Philippians 3:20 reminds us: “Our citizenship is in heaven, and from there we eagerly await the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” So, Trey concludes: “I rebuke you, world. My allegiance is not to a nation, but to the Kingdom of God.” #tkmessage

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 73 – “The Vision of Jesus” In this episode, Trey Knowles shares a powerful message: “I am just a Black man, but that is not my race. My race is not a color—it is a seed. That seed is the will of God. I do not speak for a color of people, but to the fatherless—to those who do not know God and remain trapped in sin.” Before beginning, Trey makes it clear: If you speak of colonial religion or the European way, understand this—a house divided against itself cannot stand. You cannot claim the name of Jesus if you do not walk in His Spirit or live according to His example. As Jesus said in Luke 11:28, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” This is not about colonial religion or cultural divisions. Our true brothers and sisters are those who do the will of our Father in heaven—that is our chosen race. We are not confused or brainwashed, for Scripture declares in 1 Peter 2:9: “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” Who Are My Brothers and Sisters? In Matthew 12:46–50, Jesus redefines family, saying: “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers? ... Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Our spiritual family is not determined by bloodline or color, but by obedience to God's will. The Vision of the Son of Man Jesus may have had features described as black, yet this is not the focus—the revelation is in His glory. In Revelation 1:9–20, John describes his vision of Christ: His hair was white like wool, His eyes like fire. His feet shone like bronze glowing in a furnace. His voice thundered like rushing waters. In His hand were seven stars, and His face shone like the sun. Christ revealed Himself as eternal—the First and the Last—the Living One who conquered death and holds the keys of Hades. The Seven Churches and the Body of Christ Trey explains that the seven churches mentioned in Revelation symbolize the seven continents—the fullness of humanity united as the Body of Christ. The seven angels represent God's glory reflected across the earth. God's love shines upon every individual, in every nation. As Colossians 3:11 declares: “In this new life, there is no difference between Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, foreigner or free. Christ is all, and Christ is in all.” Unity and Diversity in the Body 1 Corinthians 12:12–31 reminds us that although we are many parts, we form one body in Christ. Each member—no matter how different—is vital to the whole. “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.” God has arranged His church—apostles, prophets, teachers, miracle workers, healers, helpers, and interpreters—so that all may serve together in unity. We are the living body of Christ on earth. Let there be no division among us, but equal care and love for one another.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 72 – “Jesus Is The Son of God” In this episode, Trey Knowles delves into God's Final Word — His Son, drawing from Hebrews 1 and other key scriptures to reveal Jesus' divine identity and supreme authority. God Speaks Through His Son In the past, God communicated through prophets, but now He has spoken fully through His Son — the heir of all things and the One through whom the universe was made. Jesus reflects the very glory and nature of God, sustaining all creation by His powerful word. After accomplishing the purification of sins, He took His rightful place at the right hand of God in heaven, exalted above the angels. The Son's Superiority to Angels Scripture distinguishes the Son from the angels. God never called an angel His Son or invited one to sit at His right hand. Instead, He commands the angels to worship Jesus, affirming His eternal throne and divine rule. The heavens and the earth will fade, but the Son remains unchanged — eternal and sovereign. Jesus Reveals the Father Jesus Himself declared, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). His words and works are those of the Father living within Him. As He stated, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), confirming His divine unity with God. Creator and Sustainer of All Things Colossians 1:16 proclaims that all things — visible and invisible — were created through and for Christ. He is not merely a messenger but the Creator and purpose of all existence. The Way, the Truth, and the Life Jesus declared in John 14:6 that He alone is the way to the Father — the truth and the life. No one can come to God apart from Him. Eternal and Almighty Finally, in Revelation 1:8, Jesus identifies Himself as “the Alpha and the Omega… who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Through these truths, Trey Knowles emphasizes that Jesus is not simply a prophet or teacher but the eternal Son of God — the full revelation of God's glory, authority, and love.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 71 – “Tattoos but Still Loved” In this episode, Trey Knowles tackles a thought-provoking topic: Tattoos might be permanent — but God's love is even more permanent. Trey makes it clear: he's not saying tattoos are “acceptable” in a religious sense. What he's saying is deeper — what God has made clean is clean indeed. He doesn't have any tattoos himself, but that doesn't make him any better than someone who does. He reminds us that who a person was is not who they are now. We've all sinned and fallen short of God's glory — but through Christ, we're made new. The old life is gone, and a new life has begun. Trey uses a vivid allegory to make his point: “What if God told me to go and fellowship with people covered in tattoos — even on their faces?” Would he say, “No, Lord, that's forbidden, they're unclean”? Of course not. Because God's response is clear: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” Trey challenges the modern-day Pharisees — those who sit comfortably in church pews but refuse to show love to others who look different. He reminds us that some people's pasts are visible, but that doesn't make them any more sinful than the rest of us. Our sin might just be invisible. He warns that the same way we deny others, God can deny us. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:20: “Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Trey isn't attacking denominations — whether you're Seventh-day Adventist, Jehovah's Witness, Mormon, Pentecostal, Evangelical, or anything else — he's asking a bigger question: If we can't love and fellowship with people who have tattoos, how can we truly say we belong to Christ? He points us to Acts 10:9–23, where Peter receives a vision from God showing that nothing He has made should be called impure. Just like Peter had to unlearn his prejudice, so must we learn to see others through God's eyes. Because at the end of the day, no matter what's inked on your skin — you are still loved.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 70 – “Love Never Fails” In this episode, Trey Knowles dives into a powerful truth: Love changes things. Love makes things better. Where there's love, the bad stuff starts to fade away. Now, you might be thinking, “Yeah right, the bad stuff disappears?” — but Trey reminds us that love is a two-way street. It's about giving and receiving. The problem is, many people don't truly receive love because their attention is caught up somewhere else. Trey gets real about his own journey. He shares how, as a child — and even as a young man — he wanted his own way. He was immature, chasing things that didn't matter. But when he made the decision to receive God's love, everything started to shift. His childish ways began to fade. He reminds us that the beginning of knowledge is to fear God. And when you walk in that reverence, all the “bad stuff” loses its hold — because love never fails. Trey also asks an important question: “Am I perfect?” Well, that depends on what you call perfect — and by whose standards. He says, “If I fear the Lord, which I do, then my love never fails.” In this life, we only see part of the picture — a reflection. But one day, we'll see God face to face. Until then, we worship in part, waiting for the completeness that comes through Jesus Christ. He points to Mark 2:22, reminding us that new wine can't go into old wineskins. In other words, when love enters our lives, we have to be made new — transformed from the inside out. For now, what remains is faith, hope, and love — and the greatest of these is love. This episode draws from 1 Corinthians 13:8–13, a timeless reminder that: “Love never fails… For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face… And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 69 – “Love Always Perseveres” In this episode, Trey Knowles teaches that to persevere means to stay the course and remain steadfast, even in the face of hardship. Love never gives up. No matter the circumstance, Trey emphasizes the importance of choosing to do the will of the Father in heaven rather than our own. True perseverance is a reflection of love that endures and remains obedient to God's will—whatever it takes. Trey explains that this phrase, “whatever it takes to do the will of God,” points to the example of Jesus Christ, who persevered through suffering on the cross so that we might have life. Just as Jesus endured for our sake, we too must remove anything in our lives that causes us to stumble. He highlights the need for spiritual discernment—to distinguish between what is pure and impure—referencing Matthew 5:29, where Jesus says it is better to lose one part of the body than for the whole body to be thrown into hell. Perseverance, Trey notes, is seen in acts of faith like Abraham's obedience when he was willing to sacrifice his son to God. Despite the difficulty, Abraham's unwavering trust revealed the depth of his love for God. As Jesus declared in Matthew 22:36–37, the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Trey concludes with John 14:15–21, reminding listeners that Jesus promised the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of truth—to those who love and obey Him. Through this Spirit, we are strengthened to persevere in love and obedience. No matter the trials we face, love compels us to remain faithful, steadfast, and obedient to God's will. Because love always perseveres.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 68 – “Love Always Hopes” In this episode, Trey Knowles reflects on the truth that love always hopes—and that our ultimate hope is found in Jesus Christ. Every human longs for life, but Trey asks, how do we truly find it? Drawing from Hebrews 11:1, he explains that “faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen,” and that the life we hope for is revealed in Jesus, who declared in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Trey reminds listeners that Jesus is the pure substance and living proof of God's love, as shown in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” To love the Son is to love the Father—and this love produces hope rooted in obedience and faith. He emphasizes that true hope comes from aligning our will with God's, living out “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Jesus modeled this obedience perfectly, showing that real hope flows from loving God as He loves us. Trey warns that if our hope is placed in anything other than Jesus—such as behavior, lifestyle, traditions, or desires—we are hoping in the wrong things. We did not create ourselves, and we cannot give ourselves life; only God, the Creator of all, gives true and eternal life. He concludes with 2 Corinthians 5:1–5, reminding us that even though our earthly bodies may fade, we have an eternal home built by God Himself. Through His Spirit, He guarantees what is to come—a life of everlasting hope found only in Him.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 67 – “Love Always Trusts” In this episode, Trey Knowles shares that while love always trusts, we must be careful not to be deceived. True trust is rooted in God, not in people. He reminds listeners that it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to rely on human strength. As Scripture warns, those who place their trust in man and turn their hearts away from God bring harm upon themselves. Trey emphasizes that genuine love trusts fully in the Lord, who is the only unfailing source of strength and protection.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 66 – “Love Always Protects” In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the idea that genuine love always protects — but that protection requires trust. When we fail to trust or listen to the one protecting us, we step outside the safety that love provides. True protection comes through faith and obedience. As Trey reminds listeners, no weapon formed against us can prosper because love stands as our shield. Citing Psalm 28:7, he emphasizes that “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me,” underscoring that through trust in God's love, we remain guarded from harm.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 65 – “Love Is Not a Status” In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the true meaning of love between a man and a woman, emphasizing that love should not be based on appearance, status, or superficial reasons—but on authenticity and sincerity. He challenges listeners to reflect: Does a woman need to be skinny to be loved? Do I love someone only for their looks? Making another person feel unloved, he explains, is never right. Trey draws from the story of Leah and Rachel in Genesis 29. Rachel was described as beautiful, while Leah was not, yet God blessed Leah in a special way—opening her womb and ultimately allowing Jesus to come from her lineage. This shows that God sees and values those who feel overlooked or unloved, and He has a way of “making up the difference.” Trey encourages listeners who feel unappreciated in relationships to trust that God sees their pain and will bring restoration in His time. Genuine love values a person's heart, not their status or appearance. When love is based on what someone offers rather than who they are, it isn't true love.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 64 – “Love Does Not Delight in Evil” In this episode, Trey Knowles explains that true love rejects evil and aligns itself with what is good. Citing Romans 12:9, “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good,” he teaches that if something does not reflect God's character, we should not condone, watch, listen to, or participate in it. Trey challenges listeners to reflect on what they allow into their hearts and minds—asking, “What are your eyes seeing and your ears hearing? Is it good or bad?” He reminds believers, through Philippians 4:8, to focus on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy. Love cannot dwell in evil; a holy person turns away from it and clings to goodness.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 63 – “Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs” In this episode, Trey Knowles emphasizes that it's easy to criticize others, but true love calls us to teach, help, and correct with compassion. He reminds listeners that resentment and revenge are not expressions of love. Drawing from Matthew 5:20, Trey explains that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, our righteousness must surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees—meaning we must cultivate mercy and forgiveness. Genuine love shows itself through compassion, mercy, and a heart that forgives rather than keeps a record of wrongs, reflecting Jesus' desire for mercy over sacrifice.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 62 – “Love is Not Easily Angered” In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses how to manage anger in a godly way. He reminds listeners that while feeling anger is natural, we must not let it lead us into sin, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Patience plays a key role in overcoming anger—it allows us to seek understanding before reacting. Those who are quick-tempered often lose control, but by being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, we can respond with wisdom and grace. Trey encourages listeners not to react in anger, but instead to seek understanding first.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 61 – “Love Is Not Self-Seeking” In this episode, Trey Knowles teaches that true love is selfless, not self-centered. He warns against living like the characters in the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, who were consumed by greed and self-interest. To be self-seeking is to pursue one's own desires and ambitions without regard for others—a mindset that stands in direct opposition to God's love. Trey challenges listeners with a powerful question: “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Genuine love looks beyond personal gain and seeks the well-being of others, reflecting the selfless nature of Christ.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 60 – “Love Does Not Dishonor Others” In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the importance of showing honor as an expression of love. To honor someone means to treat them with genuine admiration and respect. Disrespect, on the other hand, is the opposite of love and reveals a lack of honor toward others. Trey emphasizes Proverbs 21:21, which teaches that “Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.” When we choose to live with integrity and compassion, we not only honor others but also experience the blessings of a life aligned with God's righteousness. True love, therefore, never dishonors—it uplifts and respects.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 59 – “Love Is Not Prideful” In this episode, Trey Knowles reflects on the danger of pride and the power of humility, drawing from Proverbs 11:2, which says, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” He explains that pride corrupts the heart, leading people into sin and self-deception. Trey also references Proverbs 16:18–19, reminding listeners that “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” It is far better to be humble and stand with the oppressed than to join the proud in their wrongdoing. Pride feeds the flesh and resists righteousness, but true love calls for humility and repentance. Finally, Trey highlights Proverbs 8:13, where God declares, “To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.” Trey urges believers to turn from prideful attitudes and embrace humility, for love is never proud.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 58 – “Love Does Not Boast” In this episode, Trey Knowles emphasizes that no one has a reason to boast or make others feel inferior. What we have is not worth boasting about unless it comes from the Lord. If we boast, it should only be in God—His salvation, righteousness, and goodness—recognizing that apart from Him, we are nothing but a mist that appears briefly and then vanishes. Trey references Romans 2:11–13, which teaches that God shows no favoritism. Those who sin without the law will perish without it, and those who sin under the law will be judged by it. It is not enough to merely hear God's word; we must live it out. True justification comes through obedience and faith, as demonstrated by Abraham. Trey challenges listeners to examine what they boast about—whether it's achievements, status, or control used to diminish others. Such pride is contrary to love, because love does not boast.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 57 – “Love Does Not Envy” In this episode, Trey Knowles delves into the destructive nature of envy, reminding us that where envy exists, love cannot. Envy, or resentfulness, stems from a desire to possess what belongs to someone else—what Scripture calls coveting. This desire, when left unchecked, leads to bitterness, wickedness, and separation from the spirit of God, who is love. Trey explains that the Hebrew word for covet can also mean lust—a strong craving for what is forbidden. When a person allows such desire to rule their heart, it results in disobedience and harm, echoing the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden. Their longing for what God had forbidden brought lasting consequences for all humanity. Through this teaching, Trey reminds us that true love rejoices in others' blessings rather than envies them, and that walking in love keeps us aligned with God's heart.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 56 – “Love Is Kind” In this episode, Trey Knowles reflects on the true meaning of kindness—a quality we are called to live out every day. He reminds us that kindness isn't just an occasional act, but a way of life rooted in love and faith. Drawing from Colossians 3:12, Trey emphasizes the importance of clothing ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience as expressions of God's love in action.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 55 – “Love is Not Sex” In this episode, Trey Knowles teaches that love and sex are not the same, emphasizing that confusing the two leads to sin through lust. He shares from personal experience, urging listeners to repent and turn away from sexual immorality, including sex before marriage, pornography, masturbation, and other lustful behaviors. Trey calls on men to take responsibility, exercise self-control, and respect women as equals rather than objects of desire or control. He warns against treating women as possessions or engaging in exploitative behaviors, urging anyone involved in such actions to seek help and repentance. The message is clear: true love is pure, patient, and godly—not driven by lust or sexual desire. Trey encourages listeners to pursue holiness and live according to God's design for love and relationships

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 54 – “Love is Patient” In this episode, Trey Knowles reflects on God's enduring patience and what it teaches us about how to treat one another. He shares that just as God shows patience, grace, and compassion toward us despite our mistakes, we too are called to be patient with others. God never gives up on us, and His patience is meant to draw us closer to repentance and transformation. Trey highlights two key scriptures: Romans 2:4 reminds us that God's kindness, forbearance, and patience are meant to lead us to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 emphasizes that the Lord is patient, desiring that no one should perish but that everyone should come to repentance. Through this message, Trey encourages listeners to embrace patience as an expression of love, mirroring God's own heart toward us.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 53 – “Peace and Hope” In this episode, Trey Knowles reflects on the contrast between sin and grace, drawing from Romans 5:12–19. He explains that sin and death entered the world through one man, Adam, and as a result, all humanity shares in that sin and its consequences. Yet, through another man—Jesus Christ—life, peace, and hope have entered the world. Trey emphasizes that while Adam's trespass brought condemnation and death, Christ's obedience brings justification and life. The gift of God's grace, given through Jesus, far surpasses the effects of sin. Through faith in Christ, believers are made righteous and can live in the peace and hope that come from God's abundant grace.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 52 – “America, You Arrogant One” In this episode, Trey Knowles delivers a solemn message to America, calling the nation to humility and repentance before God. He warns that true blessing comes only through walking in obedience to the Lord. Citing Scripture, Trey reminds listeners that if we continue to sin willfully after knowing the truth, only judgment remains. Just as those who rejected Moses' law faced death without mercy, how much greater will the punishment be for those who reject Christ, dishonor His sacrifice, and insult the Spirit of grace.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 51.4 – “I Am Not Ashamed” In this episode, Trey Knowles boldly declares his confidence in the gospel, urging believers to stand firm in God's truth without fear or shame. Drawing from Romans 1:18–32, he highlights humanity's rejection of God and the resulting moral decline, reminding listeners that while sin brings God's wrath, the gospel remains the true and powerful source of hope and salvation.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 51.3 – “Pure or Impure” In this episode, Trey Knowles offers a reflective exploration of spirituality and self-awareness inspired by 2 Corinthians 6:16, which asks how the temple of God can coexist with idols. The message reminds us that we are living temples of God and must remove all forms of impurity from our lives. The episode draws a powerful parallel between the scientific and spiritual realms: Pure Substances: In science, pure substances—such as oxygen, water, or carbon dioxide—consist of a single element or compound, displaying consistent and predictable properties. Spiritually, purity mirrors this clarity and consistency. It represents wholehearted devotion, authenticity, and alignment with divine truth, free from conflicting influences. Impure Substances: Impure substances, like air or seawater, are mixtures containing various elements and compounds, resulting in variable properties. Spiritually, impurity stems from inner conflict—attachments, distractions, and divided loyalties—that weaken our connection with God. Through this metaphor, Knowles invites listeners to examine their inner composition and strive for spiritual purity—a state of harmony, focus, and divine alignment.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 51.2 – “What Jesus Did for Me,” In this episode Trey Knowles shares his personal testimony of how Jesus Christ saved him from sin and transformed his life. He speaks of the deep love of Christ, who brought him out of darkness into light, granting him salvation, righteousness, and a new spirit. Trey expresses unwavering faith and devotion, declaring that nothing can separate him from Christ's love. He pledges to walk in the ways of the Lord, trusting Him as his light and shield, and to dwell in God's presence forever. All glory and thanks are given to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who brings life to all.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 51 – “Living to Please God” In this episode, Trey Knowles explores what it truly means to live in a way that pleases God, drawing from 1 Thessalonians 4:2–12. God's will for us is sanctification—set apart for His purpose. This means avoiding sexual immorality, learning self-control, and living in holiness and honor. Unlike the world, which follows its passions without knowing God, we are called to purity. Anyone who rejects this call is not rejecting human instruction, but God Himself—the very One who gives us His Holy Spirit. We are also commanded to love one another. The Thessalonians were already known for their love throughout Macedonia, yet Paul urged them to grow in love even more. Living to please God also means leading a quiet life, minding our own affairs, and working with our hands. In doing so, we not only honor God but also earn the respect of outsiders and live in a way that is not dependent on others. At its core, living to please God means holiness, love, and integrity—reflecting His Spirit in our daily lives.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 50 – “Adoption” In this episode, Trey Knowles unpacks the meaning of adoption in the Word of God. Before knowing Christ, I was lost—enslaved to the spiritual forces of the world, cut off from my true identity, and unable to receive my inheritance. But that is no longer the case. Through Jesus Christ, I have been redeemed, adopted, and made new. His Spirit now dwells in my heart, teaching me to cry out, “Abba, Father,” because I am His child. This is the reality for all who believe—we are His sons and daughters. Adoption means being made a legal son or daughter, and Scripture uses this image to reveal how God brings us into His family. Jesus the Messiah came so “that we might receive adoption to sonship”—and He fulfilled that mission completely. I am no longer abandoned or enslaved. I belong to God. As Romans 8:15 declares: “The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by Him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.'” This is who we are—we are children of God.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 49 – “Love Your Enemies, Love Covers a Multitude of Sins” In this episode, Trey Knowles reminds us of the power of love and forgiveness. He emphasizes that people themselves are not our true enemies—we are not created to repay evil with evil. Instead, we are called to love, even when faced with hatred. Knowles explains that if we see others as enemies, it reveals hatred within us. As Jesus taught in Matthew 5:43–44, we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Our real struggle, as Ephesians 6:12 teaches, is not against flesh and blood but against the unseen forces of evil in the spiritual realm. When people commit evil acts, many are blinded, deceived, or under the control of darkness. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are commanded to forgive—just as our heavenly Father forgives us. The light within us must always shine, because through that light, those walking in darkness can begin to see and learn. Jesus Himself came as the Light of the world, paying the price for our sins so we could be forgiven and transformed. By following His light, we walk in love, mercy, and true freedom.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 48 – “Black Man Identity Theft” In this episode, Trey Knowles delivers a powerful message to black men about reclaiming their true identity in God. He declares that black men will no longer live in fear, be brainwashed, or be deceived by the works of the devil. Instead, they are called to stand in truth, uplift one another, and walk in the light. Drawing from scripture, Knowles reminds listeners that God created man in His image and likeness—not as the derogatory labels placed upon them by society. Black men were not made to be enslaved, oppressed, or diminished, but to walk in dominion as husbands, fathers, and children of God. He emphasizes that anyone who leads black men into darkness is not for them, for God is love and calls His people to live in righteousness. Black men are not defined by sin, violence, or destruction—they are chosen, royal, and set apart to declare God's glory. The message is clear: do not let the devil steal your identity. Instead, embrace your divine calling, uplift each other, and walk boldly as the people of God, created for light, love, and purpose.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 47 – “My Lord My Lord My Lord” In this episode, Trey Knowles unpacks the meaning of “My Lord My Lord My Lord”—a phrase that signifies my ruler, my master, my life. He reflects on how this understanding came to be: God, the Creator, gave him life and identity. Just as parents give birth and are responsible for guiding their children in the way they should go, God also provides His own instruction manual for humanity—His Word. Scripture teaches that parents serve as living guides for their children, and in the same way, God's Word directs us. The Bible is described as life itself, a divine manual embedded within us from the beginning of creation. Trey emphasizes that Jesus affirmed this truth in Matthew 4:4: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” From the start, God's Spirit testifies to our spirit, affirming that we are born of Him. “My Lord My Lord My Lord” is therefore an acknowledgment of God as our ruler, our master, and the very source of our life.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 46 – “Blessed With Insurance” In this episode, Trey Knowles reminds us that we are truly blessed with the assurance God provides—but it requires us to live out certain qualities. Drawing from 2 Peter 1:5–9, he emphasizes the importance of continually adding to our faith: goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and love. When these virtues grow in us, they keep us effective and fruitful in our knowledge of Christ. Without them, we risk becoming spiritually shortsighted, forgetting the cleansing and freedom we have received from our past sins.
