Lifechangers
reviews and complaints

This place, Lifechangers, is one of those places that makes real Christian organizations look bad. They claim to be led by God, but they go against His word and that's not good. My mom, who is 85 years old and on a fixed income, gave them $500 as a "donation" to get her son some help. He was taken there on a Wednesday, but unfortunately, he had to leave the next morning. They dropped him off at a McDonald's with no money, and I had to give them $60 to put in his file. They couldn't stay and help him because the guy had to get back to prayer time. Really? I wonder if their prayers were for someone hungry they could feed or someone in need. I'm not going to get into that, but needless to say, my mom was devastated, heartbroken, and crying.

I called to see if my mom could at least get her money back, but they said, "it's not our fault he left, no refund." I could understand if we were talking about a month or longer, but less than 24 hours? Is this how a Christian organization should be run? Can't they break their self-made policy to help someone? I'm very upset and would not recommend this place to anyone. Greed is a bad disease, and they will pay for it.

There was one guy who worked there that I met while checking my brother in. He was a sincere guy who had been through the program. I don't remember his name, but my advice to him is to run. He has a big heart, too big to let this place kill his spirit.

My husband and I have personally witnessed the incredible impact that Lifechangers has had on people's lives. This program is truly changing lives for the better. It teaches you to take personal responsibility for your actions and to follow healthy rules and regulations that can benefit you in the long run.

Before joining Lifechangers, many people were stuck in a cycle of addiction and enabling. They would return to families and friends who would only encourage their destructive behavior. But with Lifechangers, you can break free from that cycle. The program is completely free, and all you need to do is help with fundraising a few weekends. In return, you will receive a life-changing education on how much the Lord loves you and wants you to succeed.

I myself have been through a similar program for almost two years, and I can attest to how difficult it can be. But through that program, I learned about the parts of myself that needed improvement, and I found the courage to change. I stopped blaming my upbringing for my problems and realized that only I, with God's help, could start fresh and become the beautiful butterfly that He wants me to be.

Lifechangers offers the same opportunity for anyone who is ready to change. And we have seen people who left the program come back when they realized what God was offering them. It's truly amazing to see the transformation that can happen when you put your faith in God and take responsibility for your life.

So if you're ready to make a change, Lifechangers is here for you. With this program, you can have a bright future, a happy marriage, loyal friends, and a sense of peace that only comes from a relationship with Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for this incredible program that is changing lives every day.

I made a donation to Lifechangers, and boy oh boy, was that a mistake! I only donated once, but they started billing me every two weeks for the same amount. I tried calling them every day for two weeks, but I couldn't get anyone on the phone to help me. I also sent them a bunch of emails, but all they said was "unfortunately, there is nothing we can do." I mean, come on, aren't Christians supposed to help each other out?

I had to stop the charges through my bank, which cost me about $200 in fees. I tried to cancel the recurring charges, but they wouldn't give me any instructions on how to do it. They just kept saying that I was the only one who could cancel them. Finally, I had to change bank accounts to avoid the charges.

But that's not the end of it. Three months later, they started calling and emailing me because their debits were returning unpaid. They wanted to help me stop the recurring payments, but I didn't want anything to do with them. And to top it all off, I never even received the tape series and prayer shawl that I paid for!

If you're a Christian, I suggest you pray about this before making any donations to Lifechangers. And whatever you do, don't try to speak with Darlene Brooks, an employee of Lifechangers. She'll just say "unfortunately, there is nothing I can do" and then block your emails and calls. These people are charlatans, and I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.

I recently had an experience with Lifechangers and I have to say, it was not a good one. My son and I traveled all the way to Holden, WV to check out this place that claimed to help people struggling with addiction. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a scam run by people who were taking advantage of vulnerable individuals who were trying to stay clean from drugs.

Despite the fact that they claimed to be Christians, I found that they were anything but. They seemed to be more interested in making money than actually helping people. My son was still detoxing on the second day they had him there, but they sent him on a fundraising trip to Buffalo, New York anyway. He left there with only what he could carry and no money. It was a terrible experience for him and for me.

When I spoke to the man in charge, Aubrey, I was surprised to learn that he had only been clean for six months himself. He seemed to be running the whole place, but he didn't seem to know what he was doing. He told me that he had packed all of my son's property and that it would be safe. I made arrangements to go back and pick it up, but when I got there, I found that not even half of his stuff was there. Two brand new coats and a packed tub of all his clothes were missing.

When I asked about it, I was told to wait while they looked for it. After an hour of waiting in the car, I was told that his stuff was not there. I was so angry and upset that they would steal my son's things. All he had in the world was gone. These people are not Christians, they are thieves. I would never recommend anyone take their loved one to Lifechangers. It's more like a cult than a Christian organization. Please beware of this place!

I was a student at Lifechangers in Wasilla, AK for about half a year. The "leadership" there was made up of Kat Kirby, Erica and Andrew Downs, and Ronnie and Tracy Vance. All of them seemed to have fried their brains on meth and acted like they were God himself. Tracy was the worst of them all, claiming that she never slept because God was busy "downloading everything about us (the students) into her head." Yeah, right. God doesn't work like that. She was probably just high all the time. Kat Kirby was another one who clearly didn't pray the gay away, as she was fired from the ministry and then promptly became a lesbian again (no joke, check out her Facebook profile). It also became clear that she was sexually preying on at least one, if not two, of the younger ladies in the program. I could go on and on with the horror stories. We were made to do manual labor all day, every day, and were punished for the smallest things, like "making a face" at someone. It was ridiculous. We were only allowed to see our families once a month, and even then it was supervised. We were only allowed two 15-minute phone calls a week, and those could be taken away at staff whim. On Fridays and Saturdays, we were made to sell cheap jewelry and T-shirts outside of Walmart to "earn our keep." However, even with all the money we brought in from these sales, we still ate Ramen for many meals and were told to "be grateful." Where was all that money going? Well, Katrina was fired for stealing, so who knows how much she took. Women were leaving this cult left and right. The twisted Bible doctrine and harsh punishments and isolation were just insane. One day, I'll write a book about it. Stay away from Lifechangers, just stay away and save your sanity.

Lifechangers is a place that has some good and bad things going on. They have bible study from Monday to Wednesday, and then on Thursday to Saturday they go out to different stores to sell t-shirts and jewelry. Even if they come back late at night, they still have to wake up early for church with little sleep. It may seem strict, but some people need that kind of structure.

However, I recently heard from a family member who lives there that they have a COVID outbreak. At least three ladies have tested positive or have symptoms, including my family member, but they still got sent out to fundraise. I understand that they need to work to earn their room and board, but these ladies bring in a lot of money. Can't they take a weekend off if they have COVID? I contacted the new director, but she was very rude and basically said that they don't have the ability to quarantine anyone and asked if I could do it instead.

I don't know the whole story, but it doesn't seem right to send someone out to fundraise when they have COVID symptoms, especially when other girls in the house have tested positive. They should take the weekend off, make sure everyone is well, and pick it back up next weekend. It's not a big deal. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though.

I'm someone who's been through the Lifechangers program, and I can tell you that it's been a life-changing experience for me. I was an addict for 15 years before I finally decided to seek help and enter a program like this. It wasn't an easy decision, but I knew that I needed to do something drastic to turn my life around.

For those who don't understand addiction or depression, let me tell you that it's not something that you're born with. It's a learned behavior that takes time to develop. And to get out of it, you need to take some extreme measures. That's where Lifechangers comes in. They bring you down to nothing, to a point where even the most simple things become important. It's a process that takes 3 to 6 months, and for me, it took 6 months to get to that stage.

At first, I tried to resist the program and "buck" the system. But my family and husband were there to support me and remind me that if I left, I couldn't come home. I had no other home than this "horrible cult people place," as I used to call it. But eventually, I started to relax and go with the flow. I didn't realize it at the time, but the process was working. My brain was being reprogrammed, and I was being reborn.

The next stage was even more challenging. I was a new person, and I didn't know who I was anymore. But it was important not to leave at this point. I needed to be in a controlled environment to continue my growth. Just like you can't let a toddler have their way in a candy store, supervision is important. I started getting more privileges one thing at a time, and I found myself getting closer to God. I talked to Him not to complain about my situation, but just to talk to Him.

Finally, I reached the last stage. I continued to grow and help the new lost souls that came in. I took a lot of abuse from them, but I was healthy enough to deal with it and give them the understanding that I once received.

I've been clean for 11 years now, and I owe it all to a program like Lifechangers and God. It wasn't an easy journey, but it was worth it. If you're struggling with addiction or depression, I highly recommend giving Lifechangers a try. It may be the best decision you ever make.

My brother went through the Lifechangers program and it changed his life for the better. People who haven't experienced addiction or seen it firsthand don't understand the mental and spiritual aspects of this program and why it works. Addiction alters the brain and it needs to be rewired, which is why most 30, 60, or 90-day programs have a high relapse rate. Our brains need more time to heal, which is why the one-year program is crucial.

There was a false claim about prescription drugs in the program. The program doesn't allow any mood-altering drugs, including anti-depressants, but it does allow medically necessary drugs like insulin and antibiotics. The leaders would never deny someone necessary medication.

The fundraising aspect of the program is controversial, but it's necessary. The program is offered for free so that anyone who needs help can get it, regardless of their circumstances. The men and women in the program may not like being told what to do, but they've been living in addiction for a long time and need structure. The program is not cult-like, but it may seem that way to someone who is resistant to change. The program is designed to prepare people for real life, which includes work. However, work is only a fraction of the time. The rest of the time is spent receiving biblical counseling, mentorship, and becoming part of a family.

No one gets kicked out for not making a certain amount of money each week, but anyone causing division or having a negative attitude may affect another person's recovery. The program only helps those who truly want to help themselves. I'm forever grateful for this program and how it gave my brother a new life in Christ Jesus. Thank you, Lifechangers.

My name is Katie and I want to share my experience with Life Changers in Pigeon Forge, TN. In October 2017, I was struggling with addiction for about five years. I had lost everything, including my job, house, car, and even my two children. I was in and out of jail and even spent some time in prison. After I was released, I had nowhere to go and no family who wanted me around because of the things I had done. That's when I met someone who told me about Life Changers. I had nothing to lose, so I decided to give it a try.

Little did I know that Life Changers was going to change my life forever. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, and the staff were very understanding and encouraging. They loved on me, prayed for me, laughed with me, and cried with me. They introduced me to God and taught me how to have a relationship with Him. They showed me how to love Him the way He loves me.

After going to the center in TN, I found out that they had centers all over the US, including one in Alaska. This was where my kids were living with my mother-in-law, who had custody of them. I couldn't believe it. What were the chances of me randomly picking a rehab in TN without knowing anything about it, and they also have one all the way in Alaska? Not only that, but it was in Wasilla, the exact city where my children live. I knew right then that God had orchestrated the whole thing.

I was in the program in TN for six months, and then the program paid to send me to the one in Alaska, where I finished my other six months and graduated from. Now, I work for Life Changers, and I get to see my two boys that I had lost and given up all hope of ever seeing. I have hope again. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans for hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11).

Life Changers gave me my life back. They gave me more life than I had before, more life than I could have ever hoped for. Was it hard? ABSOLUTELY! Yes, you travel to other places to fundraise, and I love how everyone throws that in there about how they force you to fundraise, but they forget to mention that they fundraise on Friday and Saturday because they live completely free for the whole 12 months. Fundraising is how they pay for housing and food. I didn't even have clothes when I arrived, but they even provided clothing for a lot of people.

One lady was being honest when she said they wouldn't take the guy with the prescription. They tell you that over the phone when they do your application. No narcotics and no mind-altering or mood-altering medicines. They are not a medical facility, and they tell you that. They also tell you that if there is any medical stuff you need to have it all taken care of before you come.

Yes, they have a strict schedule. You get up at 6am, and you have to be dressed and ready for praise and worship by 6:30am. Then you have breakfast, do chores like cleaning up the house, and then you go to class and do different Bible studies to learn how to come to know God and how to grow closer and stronger in Him.

When you graduate, not only do they offer you a job as staff with the program, but they also offer World Harvest School of Ministry classes, which is part of Oral Roberts University, to help you maintain the new life they helped you create.

I'm deeply sorry for anyone who didn't have the strength to surrender and let God in and allow Him to heal, but you have to want it!

I had an experience with Lifechangers that left me feeling uneasy. A relative of mine was court ordered to attend their program, and I was tasked with transporting him from jail to the facility. On the way, I was instructed to pick up a prescription for him at Walgreens that had been called in by the county jail nurse. This was a mental health prescription that he had been taking for eight months under the supervision of the county jail medical providers. The prescription was for a large dosage and the relative needed to go to a mental health facility for counseling because of the type of prescription.

When we arrived at Lifechangers and provided the counselors with this information, they immediately refused to allow him to take the prescription. They said he would have to rely on God and stop taking the medication cold turkey. This concerned me because the prescription had been court ordered and prescribed by medical professionals. It was not a street drug or something that my relative was addicted to. Some of the side effects of stopping the medication cold turkey include seizures, convulsions, and stroke.

I tried to explain this to the staff, but they still refused and even called the police to try and force me to leave. The police officers agreed with me and asked if my relative wanted to stay. He agreed to stay until his lawyer could work out the kinks, but he was concerned about stopping the medication cold turkey.

The next morning, the Assistant Director, Chad, called me and apologized for the staff's behavior. He also asked for a list of personal items for my relative, including bedding and a backpack for traveling. When I questioned this, Chad informed me that I was not immediate family and would not be allowed to communicate, visit, or have any further contact with my relative for the duration of his time there, which was one year.

The next day, Chad contacted me again for more personal items for my relative, including a Walmart gift card for other items. I took some personal items and bedding to the facility that same afternoon, and all of the members of the facility were loading into cars and vans for an extensive journey to "spread the word" and "to sell t-shirts and etc in Mississippi".

This concerned me because my relative had only been released from a county jail facility less than 24 hours prior and was court ordered to the Lifechangers facility. He was denied any contact with me because I am not an immediate family member and was demanded by the Lifechangers staff to go with the other young men across state lines for this mission. If he was not compliant, he would be forced to leave, which puts him in jeopardy and would be forced back into the county jail facility.

My relative also has very young children that I have legal custody of. Chad told me that I could "drop them off for visitation" and they "have three staff members who would supervise the visit with the children". This was not acceptable to me because I am their full and legal guardian, and they are the immediate family and minors. Lifechangers denied them visitation because I am not an "immediate" family member.

I am concerned about the lack of medical supervision and the withholding of prescription medication and counseling. Prayer is great, but these men and women need proper guidance and medical attention to get past their addictions. They should be allowed to see their family and friends in a supervised manner so that all involved can have peace of mind and work together to help them make it through this difficult part of their lives.

Overall, I would not recommend Lifechangers. They are a group of people under the pretense of being a Christian organization, using their "power" on desperate and addicted people. While this might work for some people, they are too harsh and needy.

So, I stumbled upon this website called Lifechangers (lifechangers.com) and I must say, it's a game-changer! I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give it a try. And boy, am I glad I did!

The website is easy to navigate, and the content is top-notch. From articles on personal development to tips on how to improve your relationships, Lifechangers has it all. What I love most about this website is that it's not just about reading articles, it's about taking action. The website offers courses and programs that are designed to help you implement the knowledge you gain from the articles.

I must admit, I was a bit hesitant to sign up for the courses, but I'm so glad I did. The courses are well-structured and easy to follow. The instructors are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I've learned so much from the courses, and I've seen a significant improvement in my life.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "But what about the grammar and spelling errors?" Well, let me tell you, Lifechangers is not about perfection, it's about progress. The website is designed to help people improve their lives, and that's what matters most.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a website that can help you transform your life, then look no further than Lifechangers. It's a platform that's designed to help you become the best version of yourself. So, what are you waiting for? Sign up today and start your journey towards a better life!

P.S. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, the website is affordable too! You don't have to break the bank to improve your life.

I recently took my son to Lifechangers in TN to get help for his addiction. However, I was disappointed to find out that they didn't provide any help for his addiction or how to live a sober life. Instead, they trained him to sell t-shirts. My son left the place and we called the so-called pastor three times to go pick up his belongings. Unfortunately, they stole his things and gave away all of his clothes. How could they do that? We were devastated.

To make matters worse, the so-called pastor confronted me and my 74-year-old mother and told us to shut up because we were pissing him off. It was a terrible experience. They brainwash the men there, and I know a young man who is there with his girlfriend, and they are both brainwashed. It's scary to think about.

Thankfully, my son had the sense to go into a store and call me. We were able to get him home thanks to God and angels along the way. Now, I have to pray harder to try to get my son, who doesn't believe in the Lord, to trust Him. It's a difficult situation, but we're taking it one day at a time.

I want to warn other parents out there not to send their children to Lifechangers. They don't provide any help for addiction, and they steal people's belongings. It's a terrible place, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Please, please, please listen to this momma and don't send your children here.

Lifechangers was an experience that I will never forget. I was expecting a Christian-based rehab facility, but it turned out to be something completely different. It felt like a cult, and they were deceiving us. They claimed to be spreading God's word, but in reality, they were just panhandling and selling things. They even made us fast if we didn't make enough money. For breakfast, they only gave us a piece of cornbread. It was a terrible experience.

They pretended to worship God, but it was just a cover-up. My body hurt so bad, and I could feel the pain. They terrorized me when I refused to participate in their activities. It took me four hours of begging for them to take me to the ER. My blood pressure was 178/105, and my heart rate was 48. They didn't allow us to take any medicines, and they took our stuff and didn't give it back to us.

Lifechangers is a horrible place, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was the scariest three days of my life, and I wish no one would have to go through what I did. It's not a Christian-based rehab facility, and it's not a safe place to be. I wouldn't even recommend it to the devil's son. That's how bad it is.

Lifechangers (lifechangers.com) is a company that sends groups of six men in minivans all over the southeast to sell Jesus trinkets in front of Walmart stores. This is a blatant and disrespectful marketing of Jesus, which is exactly what he flipped the temple tables for.

The fundraising process is grueling, with participants working 13 hours straight on Fridays and Saturdays, bringing in usually 9 to 11 hundred dollars a day. However, participants are expected to keep their breakfast under 3 dollars and their lunch under 6 dollars. Additionally, they must be prepared for a strip search when they return.

After fundraising for 13 hours, participants must drive up to 8 hours back to the center through the night. Unfortunately, accidents can happen, as one driver fell asleep and caused a wreck that resulted in a dislocated shoulder.

The guys at the NC center alone brought back an average of 40 thousand a week for "apostle mark". However, the company's practices are questionable, as Pastor Tommy dropped the emergency room bill in one participant's lap before church service.

This experience tells you everything you need to know about Lifechangers. They are horrible people exploiting the weak and desperate for money. Participants have never been treated worse.

Lifechangers is an organization that I had the opportunity to be a part of in the past. It's a community that is very close-knit and operates in a way that is similar to a religious cult. They have strict rules that you must follow, such as when you can go to the bathroom and when you can talk to your family. The only time you can speak to your loved ones is when you are on speakerphone, which can be frustrating at times.

One of the most concerning things about Lifechangers is their approach to healthcare. They do not have a healthcare facility on-site, and getting to a doctor can be very difficult. They believe that Jesus will heal you, and if you need medicine, it's because you lack faith. Even if you have a prescription for antibiotics, they may not allow you to take them. Taking Tylenol or Ibuprofen is sometimes banned as well. Since they are not government-funded, they have the right to treat you however they see fit.

If you are considering joining Lifechangers, be aware of their free programs. While they may seem like a great opportunity, you will have to work hard to earn your keep. This includes traveling up to 12 hours away to fundraise for two 12-hour days. You will be expected to stand outside in sub-zero temperatures, lightning storms, and pouring rain, regardless of your health condition. Sometimes, you won't get back to the facility until 3 am and will have to wake up at 6 am to start the day. You won't get any rest until 9:30 pm.

In conclusion, Lifechangers is an organization that operates in a way that is similar to a religious cult. They have strict rules that you must follow, and their approach to healthcare is concerning. If you are considering joining them, be aware of their free programs and the hard work that is required.

My significant other is currently residing in a facility that goes by the name of "Lifechangers". I must say, it is not what it seems. It is more like a cult than a rehabilitation center. They force the residents to travel all over the state to beg for donations, which they pocket for themselves. My boyfriend has been there for almost three months, and they refuse to let him communicate with me or his two young sons. They also won't allow him to contact his lawyer, which is crucial for his case. They have postponed court dates for other residents, claiming they will "take care of it", but they never do. One guy even received a failure to appear because they didn't let him attend court.

Furthermore, they have not given my boyfriend any of the letters or pictures I have sent him. They threw them all away, despite telling me that I could write to him immediately. They also prohibit him from discussing his drug addiction, and if he does, he gets "written up". Instead, they force religion down his throat, which is not what he needs. He wants to receive genuine help and transfer to a real rehabilitation center with a twelve-step program or AA classes.

In conclusion, Lifechangers is nothing but a sick joke. It is not a place for individuals seeking help with addiction. It is a cult that preys on vulnerable people and takes advantage of them for their own gain. I would not recommend this facility to anyone.

I recently stumbled upon Lifechangers (lifechangers.com) when my daughter was struggling with addiction and was on the streets. I was hesitant at first, but after reading some reviews, I decided to give it a shot and hoped for the best. However, my experience with this program was not what I expected.

After just three weeks in the program, they took my daughter and the other participants to Louisiana, which was one of the worst areas for Covid-19 at the time. This was during the same weekend that the Tennessee governor shut down the state. I understand that people should work for their health and well-being, especially in a program that is free. But, during a pandemic, their lives should not be put in more danger than when they were on the streets doing drugs.

I wonder what the government officials and judges who force people into these programs are getting out of it. Someone needs to investigate this place and its practices. There are other questionable practices that need to be addressed as well. The person who said that this is just a strict program is mistaken. Where was the counseling? Where was the support for dealing with past traumas to make a better future?

Initially, I thought that the negative reviews were from people who didn't want to work for their sobriety. However, I was wrong. Thankfully, my daughter has gotten out of this program and is on the road to recovery. But, it was not thanks to this program. I pray for those who have no one to listen to them and are forced into programs like this.

Overall, I would not recommend Lifechangers to anyone. The program needs to be thoroughly investigated, and changes need to be made to ensure the safety and well-being of its participants.

Lifechangers (lifechangers.com) is a place that is all about making money and not about helping people. They are a cult that uses spiritual abuse to control their members. They start by being very friendly and welcoming, but then they change. They want to control your contact with your family and the outside world. They don't allow you to watch TV or listen to the radio. They claim to have the gift of prophecy, and if you disobey them, you are disobeying God.

If you are a man, the only way you can have access to women is by taking their money in front of Walmart. If you leave the compound, they say that you are going against God's will, and many people who leave end up dying. They say that leaving equals dying. The only people who have access to women are the higher-ups, and they have inappropriate relationships with them. They arrange marriages and relationships.

The leaders of Lifechangers have never left, and they don't have more than a year or two of sobriety. They are involved in human trafficking. They take six people and travel all over the southeast to fundraise. Each crew clears a couple of grand each weekend. The NC center brings in 30 to 40 thousand a week, but the guys are fed bologna sandwiches and must keep their breakfast under $3 while fundraising. It's unclear whether the leadership is clean and sober. They don't have any light in their eyes.

In conclusion, Lifechangers is a dangerous cult that you should stay away from. They use spiritual abuse to control their members, and they are involved in human trafficking. They don't care about their members' well-being, and they only care about making money. Beware of Lifechangers Cult.

I was on the hunt for a Christian-based recovery program when I stumbled upon Lifechangers. Let me tell you, these guys are not what they claim to be. I found a 23-page document on these charlatans, who are based in Tennessee, and let me tell you, they caused me so much harm in less than two weeks that I am still recovering from the experience.

I was staying in a house in Vancouver, Washington, near the Camas area. The house was nice, I'll give them that, but these people seem to prefer to ship in people from far away to keep them separated from their families.

They allow you to write letters to your loved ones, but you're not allowed to touch a computer for a year (according to their document) and you're not allowed to have a cell phone. Calls to family or friends may be allowed, but they're scheduled and can only be made on an organization cell phone. And if you break any of their rules, they can take away your privilege to make those calls and give you a demerit.

I'll write more about my experience later, but I swear this is the truth. My name is Bryan, and I truly believe that these guys have the makings of a cult. They isolate you and brainwash you into thinking their way. It's scary stuff.

I recently checked out Lifechangers (lifechangers.com) and I gotta say, I've seen some mixed reviews about this program. As someone who used to be a student there, I can definitely see both the good and the bad sides of it.

On one hand, I do think that the program has the potential to be really great. I believe that there are some people involved who genuinely want to help others overcome their life issues and become better people. However, I also think that there are some people involved who are more focused on making money than on helping others.

One thing that really bothered me about the program was the fundraising. Don't get me wrong, I understand that they need to raise money to keep the program running. But sometimes it felt like the fundraising became more important than anything else. We would spend hours and hours outside of stores, asking people for donations. Sometimes we would even spend entire weekends doing this. And while we weren't being charged for staying there, I know for a fact that the program was bringing in a lot of money. And yet, the food we ate was often pretty terrible.

Another thing that really bothered me was how strict the program was. I understand that they want to maintain a certain level of discipline, but sometimes it felt like they were just looking for reasons to kick people out. I remember one time when I decided to leave one evening because I was feeling really overwhelmed. I knew that leaving was grounds for dismissal, but I didn't expect them to just drop me off at a Walmart and drive away. It was really scary and I felt like they didn't care about my safety at all.

Overall, I think that Lifechangers has some good things going for it, but there are definitely some issues that need to be addressed. If they could focus more on helping people and less on making money, and if they could be a little more understanding and compassionate towards their students, I think that the program could be really great. But as it stands now, I'm not sure that I would recommend it to others.
