Tonight we are starting something new. In a lot of way I wish I had access to this new thing years ago. At Romeo, we say “small groups are where life change happens.” And I am entering into this new study, Life Hurts… God Heals, truly praying to see that come to life. I long to see this study connect hurting students to a God who heals.
Will you pray with me that life-change will occur as we help our students deal with some realities in their lives? Will you pray that as we deal with the “real stuff” in their lives that they will open themselves up to the healing that comes from God?
Why are you teaching this? Let’s face it, 100% of us and 105% of our students are hurting somehow. I want to equip them with the skills to face their “stuff” and I want to equip them with the skill to help their friends face their stuff.

Want to see your student get involved? We’d love to hear from parents or students, shoot me an email or leave a comment. mclanea@gmail.com
I’ll be praying for you as you start this study. I’m praying for your students and that God will use the study to change lives.
Adam we have been doing this for 4 years now. Great great stuff. Don’t be afraid to break away from the “lesson” and talk about “stuff” the kids are dealing with. We have found you almost need 2 full hours of group to really benefit. So we use our group time just to hear what the kids are going through and try to get them plugged into a group doing the material in another way. it’s really really good stuff though.
Adam, God bless you as you begin this new ministry with the youth. Romeo is fortunate to have you! Well done, good and faithful servant!
Praying, Adam. We did this course back when I was serving at a church as youth pastor. Good stuff.
How did it go?
Thanks for asking. The first session did go quite well. Woohoo!
