America Side Effects is an allegorical comedy speech by Trey Knowles that uses sharp, unsettling humor to reveal the costs of America's entrenched harms. Through vivid, often shocking scenes — from gun violence touching children to citizens trapped by debt and false freedoms — the play shows how liberty can become a license for wrongdoing. Knowles suggests that a nation that refuses to walk away from its evils risks destruction, and he challenges viewers to critically judge both America and their own complicity rather than accept comforting myths about freedom and virtue.

In "Help Investigate," Trey Knowles reflects on the consistent pattern of violence and injustice faced by indigenous and people of color across the globe, questioning why this oppression is perpetrated by the same groups throughout history. He also explores the biblical concept of "her offspring" versus "his offspring," delving into its deeper meanings and implications for understanding this ongoing struggle.

In "What Kind of Love You Have For Me," Trey Knowles challenges his audience with a powerful question: Can you live peacefully among others? When most of the audience indicates they cannot, he responds by saying this reveals a deeper spiritual issue. Knowles explains that rejecting others—especially based on race—is incompatible with truly following Jesus. He emphasizes that if someone harbors hatred, particularly toward Black people, they are also rejecting Jesus himself. According to Knowles, such attitudes show that a person is not prepared to live in the kingdom of heaven.

In Seeking Whom He May Devour, Trey Knowles portrays Great Britain, France, and America as metaphorical devils—predatory forces like a roaring lion—actively seeking to dominate and destroy nations and individuals for the sake of power and control. Knowles urges his audience to remain sober-minded, vigilant, and alert to the deceptive and destructive tactics used by these global powers. He emphasizes how these nations oppress others through methods such as temptation, manipulation, and deceit, constantly seeking opportunities to cause harm.

In Who Is Your Enemy America?, Trey Knowles challenges the narrative that nations like Islam, China, or Russia are America's enemies is laughable. He argues that these claims are deceptive and distract from the real issue. According to Knowles, these nations are not responsible for America's moral and spiritual decline—America is. He asserts that the U.S. spreads its own corrupt values and influences other nations to follow its sinful ways. Citing 1 John 2:15, which warns against loving the world and its desires, Knowles concludes that America's true enemy is not external, but internal—its own values, actions, and departure from God.

In Power and Control: How the Devil Did It, Trey Knowles challenges the idea of the American Dream, declaring it a deceptive system rooted not in God's will, but in the devil's influence. He argues that the pursuit of the American Dream promotes self-centeredness, materialism, and pride—values that are in direct opposition to the Kingdom of God. Knowles emphasizes that the devil's method of control is to make people endorse and sustain a system where they must pay simply to live a decent life, which contrasts with God's original intent for humanity. According to Knowles, Jesus came to offer abundant life through dependence on God—not through chasing worldly success shaped by the devil's values.

In Repercussions of Power and Control, Trey Knowles draws a parallel between indigenous nations and the biblical story of Adam and Eve. He argues that just as the devil deceived Adam and Eve into turning away from their dependence on God, the same deception has been used for centuries to lead indigenous peoples away from their original state of spiritual and cultural alignment with God. Knowles emphasizes that the devil's tools for gaining power and control—such as slavery, colonization, and cultural manipulation—have replaced authentic ways of life with counterfeit systems rooted in deception. The work exposes the ongoing consequences of these tactics in today's world, revealing how societies continue to suffer under the lingering effects of these spiritual and political strategies.
