Trey Knowles’ “The World” is a bold, satirical comedy short that challenges the popular mindset of “only seeing the good.” When people encourage Trey to focus solely on positivity, he responds with a powerful question: “Where are the prophets of old?” — the voices who courageously confronted wickedness in the name of truth.
In this performance, Trey tackles several important themes. He exposes spiritual blindness, calling out how many modern Christians overlook sin and injustice in order to stay comfortable and culturally accepted. He critiques false positivity, humorously revealing how ignoring evil is often mistaken for virtue and leads to moral compromise. By pointing to the prophetic vision found in Scripture, Trey calls for boldness, clarity, and truth rather than shallow optimism. Finally, he addresses money and compromise, highlighting how faith is frequently weakened by the pursuit of wealth and worldly success. Through sharp humor and honest reflection, The World delivers a message that challenges audiences to choose truth over comfort and conviction over convenience.
