Let's face it, sometimes LIFE HURTS and we get
caught up in habits that are hard to break. If
you are dealing with pain (who isn't?) including:
addictions, eating disorders, abuse, pornography,
drinking, cutting, etc., then LIFE HURTS GOD HEALS
is for you. Hundreds of students have gone
through this and many lives were changed. Come
and check it out.

What is Life Hurts God
Heals?
Life Hurts God Heals (LHGH) is
specifically for students who have experienced pain
or addiction including: drinking, cutting,
pornography, eating disorders, troubled family
dynamics, etc.
If you are familiar with 12-step
programs (i.e., Alcohol Anonymous, Overeaters
Anonymous, etc.) then you understand the basic
structure of Life Hurts God Heals. However,
LHGH is an 8-step program targeted specifically for
students in middle school through college age, and
is based on the beatitudes from the Bible.
This curriculum provides lifelong tools for students
dealing with unresolved hurt and pain. It was
written by John Baker, Doug Fields, and Megan
Hutchinson as a result of seeing the unmet pain of
students in their youth ministry at Saddleback
Church.

| What you peers are saying
about LHGH: I
didn't think I had pain in my life. But then I
showed up at LHGH and God just kind of opened the
doors and when the other guys in my group opened up,
I realized there are things in my life that hurt
too." Jon, 15
I was having a really hard time
with my family and friends and drugs and who knows
what else...and the people in the LHGH group helped
me." Allison, 16
The main reason I joined LHGH
is because I never have accepted myself. I've
always thought I wasn't good enough. I would
wonder why God put me here. To get away from
the pain, I would eat. Now, I am in LHGH and
receiving steps that I can actually apply to my life
to help turn my bad choices into good ones." Steph,
18
