Trey Knowles: Love Is Not a Status - Truth & Knowledge

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 65 – “Love Is Not a Status”

In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the true meaning of love between a man and a woman, emphasizing that love should not be based on appearance, status, or superficial reasons—but on authenticity and sincerity. He challenges listeners to reflect: Does a woman need to be skinny to be loved? Do I love someone only for their looks? Making another person feel unloved, he explains, is never right.

Trey draws from the story of Leah and Rachel in Genesis 29. Rachel was described as beautiful, while Leah was not, yet God blessed Leah in a special way—opening her womb and ultimately allowing Jesus to come from her lineage. This shows that God sees and values those who feel overlooked or unloved, and He has a way of “making up the difference.”

Trey encourages listeners who feel unappreciated in relationships to trust that God sees their pain and will bring restoration in His time. Genuine love values a person’s heart, not their status or appearance. When love is based on what someone offers rather than who they are, it isn’t true love.
