Series: Victorious Living – Lesson 08, Part 1

Host: Cody Thrash | The Disciple Life

🔊 Episode Summary:

What happens after you’re born again? In this episode, we explore the first four levels of spiritual growth outlined in 2 Peter 1:5–6: Faith, Virtue, Knowledge, and Temperance. These aren’t just nice-sounding traits—they are essential steps in the life of every believer who wants to walk in victory, bear spiritual fruit, and enter the everlasting Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

📖 Join us as we dig into the foundation of spiritual maturity:

• Faith – the starting point of your journey with God, rooted in belief and obedience.

• Virtue – the visible holiness and moral courage that sets believers apart.

• Knowledge – not just facts, but spiritual understanding through the Word and the Spirit.

• Temperance – the self-control needed to discipline the flesh and finish the race strong.

You’ll hear biblical insights, real-life applications, and reflective questions to help you examine your growth and take the next step in your discipleship journey. Whether you’re a new convert or a seasoned saint, these truths will challenge and equip you to keep climbing higher.

📌 Key Verse: “For if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” — 2 Peter 1:10

💬 Reflection Questions:

• Is your faith producing works that please God?

• Where is virtue visible in your life—and where is it needed?

• Are you growing in biblical knowledge or just consuming content?

• What area of your life needs more self-control?
