Title: The 8 Levels of Spiritual Growth – Part 2: From Patience to Perfect Love

Series: Victorious Living – Lesson 08, Part 2

Host: Cody Thrash | The Disciple Life


🔊 Episode Summary:

In Part 2 of The 8 Levels of Spiritual Growth, we continue our journey through 2 Peter 1 by climbing the upper steps of Christian maturity: Patience, Godliness, Brotherly Kindness, and Charity. These are not mere personality traits—they are the character of Christ reproduced in the life of a true disciple.


Each level builds on the last:

• Patience – Enduring hardship with steadfast faith and unshakable hope.

• Godliness – Living with deep reverence and daily devotion to the Lord.

• Brotherly Kindness – Sincerely loving the family of God, not just in words but in action.

• Charity – Agape love at its highest: loving enemies, forgiving deeply, and reflecting the cross in everyday life.


đź“– Through scripture, reflection, and application, this episode will challenge you to:

• Let pressure produce perseverance

• Live with awe and honor for God

• Love your spiritual family unselfishly

• And embrace a radical, Christlike love for a broken world.


🔥 Key Verse:

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


đź’¬ Reflection Questions:

• Are you waiting well—or wearing out in the process?

• What does your daily life say about your reverence for God?

• Who do you need to love, forgive, or serve this week?

• Which level is God asking you to build on right now?


🛠️ Closing Charge:

You may not feel like a spiritual giant today—but God is building you, one level at a time. Keep showing up. Keep growing. Because when you do these things… you’ll never fall.


🎧 Tune in now and let’s climb higher—together.
