Power For Positive Living

Your host switches from episodes that feature guests to a more personal approach.

"Who am I?" is usually the basic question one often seeks to answer in life. The methods usually vary with the individual. Our mind and body give us powerful tools to explore new experimental options for healthy choices.

The process of introducing the wellness psychology foundation of Friend Ship to the Galveston-Houston community continues with a spirited interview with Doug Johnson on talk radio KPRC, AM 950, in Houston, Texas.  

Friend Ship evolves from an entertainment self-learning program offered on cruise ships at sea to the building of Friend Ship House in Galveston.   This interview stresses the unique feature of having individuals 'check out' from their daily lives, roles, and commitments to immerse themselves in a self-learning experiential and experimental individualized program within a land-based program. 

Friend Ship also grew from Friend Ship at Sea and Friend Ship House to include a weekly personal growth radio program (Power for Positive Living) which debuted on Galveston's AM radio station, KGBC.

This KGBC broadcast is an interview by Charles McCullough to better understand the history and evolution of your host's life story and his creating of Friend Ship as a wellness psychology ministry.

Mr. Todd Summers, a Communications Consultant, joins in the discussion of talk radio with your host as a genre of information and entertainment.

Wellness Psychology tends to encourage personal growth with focus on the emotional, physical, social and spiritual aspects of being human.  This radio broadcast of the Power for Positive Living radio series offers the viewpoints of Father Bob Flick for the listener to evaluate as they build their personal spiritual relationship with God either within or outside of an organized religion community.

Communities always have the power to focus on their positive or negative characteristics as they develop their group esteem.
