G. Keith Olson talks with a caller on "Living Well."In the vast radio programming of San Diego County, one slot blends the wisdom of professional mental health therapy with the love of a Christian message. It’s “Living Well,” a live talk show from 7 to 8 p.m. Pacific Time on KPRZ, 1210 AM, San Diego’s best-known Christian radio station. The host of “Living Well” is G. Keith Olson, Ph.D., private counselor in his own practice, Family Consultation Service (FCS), and a faculty member in Bethel Seminary’s Marital and Family Therapy degree program. Olson’s show premiered in November 2004 with FCS as sponsor and the seminary as co-sponsor.

“This program is designed to help you to live well, no matter what your life circumstances,” Olson tells listeners as he opens the mike each week. Every program is planned around a theme and many feature a guest with special expertise in the evening’s topic. Among the most popular subjects featured on “Living Well” so far are:

• recovering from child sexual abuse • the pain of alienation • when church hurts • recovering from abortion trauma • living through depression and anxiety • healing after an affair • adolescent homosexuality • how to forgive • parenting rebellious teens

 

Calls are welcomed on the air if listeners want personalized help, and listeners are also invited to email Olson at livingverywell@aol.com. The last show of every month is “Bethel Night,” when the "God loves us, God created us, God knows what we are experiencing, and he promises to strengthen and help us with His presence."
- G. Keith Olsonfeatured guest is always a Bethel Seminary San Diego staff or faculty member, administrator, student, or alumnus. This broadcast gives the most exposure to the seminary and its marital and family therapy program, though every show also features a 60-second ad for Bethel Seminary and prominently mentions Olson’s role there.

“‘Living Well’ provides a wonderful way of reaching our very large county with the same message that Family Consultation Service offers to its clients, and Bethel Seminary San Diego’s Marital and Family Therapy degree program offers to its students,” says Olson. “The message is that God loves us, God created us, God knows what we are experiencing, and He promises to strengthen and help us with His presence.”
