Trey Knowles

Trey Knowles’ “Contentment” is a funny stand-up piece that flips the so-called American Dream on its head. We’re told to live to work and work to prepare for death — but that’s not the life God designed for you. That’s the life the enemy sells. While the world pushes life insurance, God already prepared the way for eternal life. He’s done the heavy lifting. The pressure is off. Your job isn’t to grind yourself into the ground — it’s to live, trust, and learn how to be content.
