Why Do You Serve Your Enemy?

Episode 98 – Truth & Knowledge: “Why Do You Serve Your Enemy?” – Trey Knowles In Episode 98 of Truth & Knowledge, Trey Knowles delivers a provocative spiritual message centered on one question: Why do you serve your enemy? Speaking primarily to those he identifies as the House of Jacob in America, Knowles challenges listeners to examine whom they depend upon, whom they imitate, and ultimately whom they serve. Throughout the episode, Knowles contrasts the character and teachings of Yeshua with what he describes as the spirit of worldly power, materialism, colonization, violence, and domination. He points specifically to President Donald Trump and American political power as examples in his argument, asking listeners to judge political leadership against the spiritual standard he finds in Yeshua rather than simply accepting earthly authority. His characterization of Trump and American institutions represents his religious and political interpretation, not an established factual judgment. Drawing from passages including Mark 8:36, Matthew 6:25–34, Matthew 20:28, Luke 1:32–33, and Genesis 3:15, Knowles argues that gaining wealth, power, or even the whole world is meaningless if a person loses his soul. He contrasts a life centered on financial gain and human systems with a life of dependence upon God, faith, service, rest, and obedience. Knowles also examines the legacy of colonization and slavery through his theological perspective. He asks why descendants of oppressed people would adopt the values, violence, ambitions, and systems of those they regard as their historical oppressors. Instead, he calls his audience to distinguish between what he sees as the character of earthly empires and the character of Yeshua, who taught that the Son of Man came “not to be served, but to serve.” The message eventually extends beyond the House of Jacob to people of different nations who share faith in the God of Abraham. Referencing both the Bible and the Quran, Knowles warns against following what he describes as the footsteps of Satan and urges listeners to examine whether their lives are being shaped by God or by worldly systems. At its heart, “Why Do You Serve Your Enemy?” is Trey Knowles’ challenge to examine allegiance, identity, faith, materialism, and power. The episode asks listeners to consider a deeply personal question: Who is shaping your character—and whom have you chosen to serve?
