The Love Walk: Dr. Don Colbert’s Guide to Living in Love, Faith, and Wellness – Part 1
In this episode of Walking in Divine Health, Dr. Don Colbert and his wife, Mary Colbert, share life-changing insights into how walking in love and abiding in God’s Word can impact not only your spiritual well-being but also your physical health. As they explore the vital connection between mind, body, and spirit, Dr. Colbert emphasizes the importance of adopting love as a lifestyle to achieve optimal health and longevity.
Dr. Colbert, a leading voice in integrative and functional medicine, reveals that patients who actively walk in love tend to have better health, stronger immunity, and resistance to diseases. Over the past 40 years, he has seen how living in love—based on biblical principles—directly correlates to better physical and mental well-being. This love-centered approach is supported by the teachings of 1 John and other scriptures, which highlight love as the foundation for a prosperous life.
The Power of Love and Health
Dr. Colbert explains how the Bible’s teaching on love is not only a spiritual directive but also a practical guide for health. Drawing from 1 John 4:8, he describes how love is the essence of God and how living in this love can lead to transformative health benefits. Love, as he states, is not just an emotion or mental ascent but a powerful spiritual force that manifests through actions and relationships.
Mary Colbert expands on the concept by discussing near-death experiences where individuals encounter Jesus Christ, full of light and love. These experiences mirror biblical accounts from the book of Revelation and reinforce the notion that walking in love is a divine mandate that has real-world effects on our health and longevity.
The Love Walk: A Path to Healing
Throughout the episode, Dr. Colbert breaks down the practical steps for living a life rooted in love. He describes this as “walking the love walk” and emphasizes the importance of developing what he calls “love fruit”—character traits that reflect God’s love through kindness, patience, humility, and forgiveness.
Key Bible verses, including 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and Galatians 5:22, are central to understanding how love should be the core of every Christian’s life. By abiding in God’s Word and allowing His love to flow through us, we produce these love fruits, which not only bring us closer to God but also improve our health and relationships.
The Connection Between Forgiveness and Health
A significant portion of the video focuses on the detrimental effects of unforgiveness on physical health. Dr. Colbert stresses that unforgiveness can open the door to many health issues, including chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, and emotional distress. Drawing from his experience in treating patients, he shares testimonies of individuals who experienced healing after letting go of bitterness and resentment.
One striking example involves patients suffering from fibromyalgia, a condition often associated with unresolved emotional pain. When these individuals released their unforgiveness, they found relief from their symptoms, highlighting the powerful connection between emotional and physical healing.
The Love Commandment: A Call to Unity
In closing, Dr. Colbert and Mary urge viewers to live by the new commandment given by Jesus in John 13:34-35: “A new commandment I give you: Love one another as I have loved you.” This call to love is not just an abstract concept but a practical guide for how we should interact with one another daily. Dr. Colbert reminds viewers that this supernatural love comes only through the Holy Spirit and is essential for living a healthy, fruitful life.
They also emphasize that walking in love can heal divisions within the body of Christ and bring Christians together in unity, making a greater impact on the world. Instead of focusing on each other’s flaws, they encourage believers to forgive, forget, and extend grace.
