Breaking Sinful Chains

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1

Increase - Truth & Knowledge

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.

The Emperor Has No Clothes

In his speech "The Emperor Has No Clothes," Trey Knowles criticizes those in positions of counsel who fail to stand up against the immoral actions of a corrupt president. Instead of opposing wrongdoing, they support and justify it. Knowles draws a parallel to a warning found in the Bible, specifically 2 Corinthians 11:14–16, which states that "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light," and that his servants will also appear righteous, but their true nature will be revealed by their actions. The title metaphor—“the emperor has no clothes”—highlights the blatant evil being committed in plain sight. Knowles directs his message to the United States, calling out the nation for allowing such deception and corruption to go unchecked.

The Weapon of Sorcery

In The Weapon of Sorcery, Trey Knowles explores how a metaphorical form of sorcery is being wielded against American citizens, pushing them into circumstances where they are forced to commit minor crimes or fall into homelessness. This "spell" is cast through systemic oppression that makes people's lives unbearably difficult, ultimately stripping them of their autonomy and turning them into property of the state. This dynamic serves to line the pockets of the wealthy, who profit from both the exploitation of the marginalized and the penal systems that ensnare them.

Comedy: Netanyahu Circumcision

Trey Knowles' "Netanyahu Circumcision" Stand-Up Comedy

In this comedic piece, Trey Knowles humorously addresses Netanyahu, urging him to understand that true circumcision is of the heart, not just physical.

Song: Feel my Ruach

Trey Knowles' "Feel My Ruach" is a powerful reflection on both past and present struggles. It’s a cry to feel the spirit—the ruach—of pain, hardship, and perseverance. As we climb Jacob's ladder, striving toward God’s promise, we often face resistance from the enemy who seeks to strike our heel and rob us of our blessings. But Jesus understands our suffering—He too was attacked by the forces of the antichrist, which still work today to torment God’s people.

From colonization and slavery to physical and mental abuse, we have been stripped of our identity in God. Yet, we continue to rise, climbing the ladder, resisting evil. We are the product of Christ and the trials He endured on earth. Through our ruach, we no longer wrestle—we rest in Christ, trusting Him to fight our battles. We are the tribe of Jacob. We are Israel. And through our ruach, God prevails.https://crosssides.blogspot.com/

Comedy: The Republican Church

In his hilarious stand-up set "The Republican Church," Trey Knowles tells Republican Evangelicals not to bother inviting him to their church—because, as he puts it, “Y’all don’t know Jesus.” With bold humor and sharp insight, he calls out the politics-over-faith culture in a performance that’s as thought-provoking as it is funny.

Teach Kids Cursive

In "Teach Kids Cursive," Trey Knowles argues that learning cursive is essential because it allows individuals to sign their own name and truly own something. He also makes an intriguing point that cursive has historical ties to Arabic and Afro-Asiatic languages, suggesting that its origins go beyond English and play a deeper role in cultural and personal identity.

Uncle Scam’s Robbery Rebate: Why ‘Aid’ Keeps Africa on Its Knees - Shahid Bolsen

I am telling you: Cancel your debt. Stop mistaking the knife in your back for a pat on the shoulder. In this searing monologue, Shahid Bolsen rips the mask off America’s “foreign aid” and exposes it as a protection racket that bleeds Africa for ten-to-one returns.Key points inside:• The U.S. sends Africa $10-12 billion in so-called aid—barely 0.17 % of the U.S. budget—while extracting $90-$120 billion a year in oil profits and tax-dodging loopholes.• Sub-Saharan Africa pays $68 billion in debt service—six times the aid received—just to keep the dollar afloat.• Nigeria alone loses more in crude exports, tax giveaways, and outright theft than it ever sees in “assistance,” proving aid is the anesthetic for economic surgery, not the lifeline.• The playbook for strategic default, BRICS currency bridges, and banning raw crude exports—how to stand up without the Argentina-style crash.
