Truth & Knowledge: Episode 3 – "Breaking Self-Ego" In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the concept of breaking the Self-Ego. He teaches that true humility begins by following instructions, actively listening, and genuinely caring for the needs of others. These actions are the first steps in dissolving self-centeredness. Why is this important? Because love is not self-seeking—love is kind. To break the Self-Ego, the first step is recognizing your spiritual poverty. What does that mean? It means admitting you don't have it, can't buy it, and that you need it. Trey references Matthew 19:24, where Jesus says it's hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God—highlighting that pride and self-sufficiency are barriers to spiritual growth.
