About Lathanael Olsen
About Lathanael Olsen

My primary focus as a Financial Representative is to inspire and guide my clients to protect themselves from uncertainty and to provide the tools to help them safeguard and grow their wealth. I am enthusiastic about helping others to plan for retirement with the goal of providing financial freedom and to help them live the life they imagine. It is Thrivent’s mission - helping Christians be wise with money and to live life generously - that attracted me at an early age to a career that combines strong values with finances. I have been helping countless individuals to fulfill this mission and I earnestly look forward to continuing to do so for many more years.


While growing up, my parents played an influential role inside of my life as they encouraged my three brothers and I to pursue godly discipline and wisdom. They showed us every day how to be a biblical steward through working hard, diligent saving, debt avoidance, and living generously. They also showed us that not everyone is in the same financial position, and it is dependent on the decisions that we make throughout life. While attending college I had the opportunity to see first handed the results of decisions parents made throughout their lifetime and the negative affects it had on their children’s lives. It is my desire because of this to help individuals navigate life so that they know they will not only be taken care of themselves but also their children and so on. It is my privilege and honor to help serve and create a community that is designed on pursuing financial freedom for multiple generations.


Currently, I reside in Elizabethtown, PA where I grew up. With my free time I enjoy getting outdoors and going hiking, playing football and basketball, going on adventures with friends and family, slowly learning how to cook, and always looking to improve. Presently, I attend Community Fellowship Church in Lancaster, PA. I enjoy staying active with the Young Adults community at CFC, while looking for different ways to serve.

Most high earners know how to make money. Far fewer know how to turn their wealth into tax-efficient retirement income. Accumulating wealth is only half the battle. Keeping it is where planning matters most. What's your biggest concern when it comes to retirement planning: taxes, market volatility, healthcare costs, or something else?

A client said something to me recently that stopped me in my tracks: "If God puts the need in front of you, you need to seriously consider whether you're the reason it's there and fulfill the need" Simple. Powerful. Convicting. In a world that often asks, "What's in it for me?", this statement challenges us to ask a different question: "What am I being called to do?" Sometimes the opportunities God places before us aren't opportunities at all, they're responsibilities. A neighbor who needs encouragement. A family member who needs support. A friend who needs someone to listen. A cause that needs a champion. We may not be able to meet every need we see, but when one keeps showing up in front of us, it may be worth asking if we're being called to act. As people of faith, stewardship isn't just about managing money well. It's about stewarding our time, talents, influence, and resources for a greater purpose. Today, I'm reflecting on this question: What need has God placed in front of me that I've been walking past? #FaithInAction #Stewardship #PurposeDrivenLife #Leadership #Generosity #FaithBasedFinance #Thrivent

Graduation is a milestone worth celebrating. Years of hard work, discipline, and sacrifice… leading to a moment full of opportunity. But here’s something I often share with recent graduates: Your income will grow faster than your habits, unless you’re intentional. The first few years after college quietly shape your financial future more than most people realize. Not because of how much you earn… But because of how you manage what you earn. A few things to keep in mind early: -Lifestyle creep can happen faster than income growth -Time is your greatest asset when it comes to investing -Avoiding high-interest debt creates more flexibility later -Consistency matters far more than trying to be perfect You don’t need to have everything figured out right away. But you do need to start building awareness and structure. Because the individuals who create long-term stability aren’t the ones who wait until “later” to get serious… They’re the ones who start making thoughtful decisions early. To those stepping into this next chapter Give yourself permission to learn, ask questions, and take ownership of your future. My team and I are happy to help answer questions you may have. Also, shameless plug to post a picture with my grandparents from my own previous graduation. See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.
