Becoming Love

A Study of 2 Peter 1.3 - 11

By: Josh Hunt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

You were made for love. But how do you become truly loving—especially in a world that so often isn’t?

In Becoming Loving, bestselling Bible teacher Josh Hunt offers a fresh, practical guide to spiritual growth rooted in 2 Peter 1:3–11—an ancient yet often-overlooked roadmap for modern discipleship. According to Peter, love isn’t where we start. It’s where we’re headed.

Step by step, Peter outlines a ladder of growth—faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and finally, love. These aren’t boxes to check, but building blocks of transformation. Each virtue prepares us for the next. And every step, empowered by God’s grace, moves us closer to becoming like Christ.

Blending biblical depth with relatable stories, real-life application, and surprising insights from modern psychology and church history, Becoming Loving shows how we can:

• Rely on God’s power instead of willpower

• Soak in the promises of God until they reshape our instincts

• Replace self-protection with self-control

• Trade cynicism for awe and group bias for Christlike compassion

• Learn to love across the lines that divide us

• And become, over time, the kind of person who loves as Jesus loved

This book isn’t about trying harder. It’s about training wisely. You don’t need a different personality, a new background, or better circumstances. According to Peter, you already have everything you need.

You can become loving.
And the world is waiting for people like you.
