In this Advent Week 4 reflection on Love, Dr. Daisy Dowell—physician at Lawndale Christian Health Center and a member of Christian Community Health Fellowship—invites us to wrestle with a timely and challenging question: What does love have to do with unity and reconciliation? Speaking out of the collective pain and division of recent years—from racial injustice and healthcare disparities to political unrest—Dr. Dowell reminds us that these moments are not the end of the story. Drawing from Scripture and the biblical example of Nehemiah, she lays out practical, Spirit-led steps for believers to live out love in action: asking and listening well, lamenting injustice, repenting personally and corporately, extending forgiveness, rejecting false narratives, and actively pursuing peace. At the heart of this message is a clear conviction: we cannot have unity without reconciliation, and we cannot have reconciliation without love. Love is not optional—it is the foundation of the Kingdom and the most powerful witness to the world. As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, this episode challenges us to become the answer to Jesus' prayer in John 17—that we would be one, so that the world might believe. Because in the end, they will know that He is Savior by our love. ______________________________ CCHFTalk is a production of Christian Community Health Fellowship.
