This seminar course focuses on the youth worker. One cannot lead beyond the place one is. Pain-based behavior displayed by high-risk youth taps into the unresolved pain issues in adults. As Rev. Richard Rohr has said, "Your pain will either transform you, or you will transmit it." Particular attention is given to understanding one's own issues of pain, anger, unmet needs, and prejudice, through the use of video, experiential exercises, discussion groups and homework journaling.

Juvenile Justice ministry actually prefigures government attempts and systems in dealing with the challenges of adolescent behavior and the law. This course reclaims the historic role of faith and faith based institutions in engaging youth and their families around issues of restorative justice and productive citizenship. Using the framework of Healing Communities USA, we present a model for training congregations to become Stations of Hope- congregations which minister to individuals and families affected by crime and mass incarceration. Using the principle of proximity, the Healing Communities model works to shape congregational culture in a manner that welcomes persons returning from incarceration, ministers to inmates and their families, and provides support for persons who have been victimized by crime, beginning with those families and individuals already members of or connected to the congregation.

This professinal seminar lays a foundation for ministy to youth in conditions of confinement. It will present an extensive overview for those working with young offenders in institutions as well as helpful skills to train volunteers who desire to minister there. Students will be exposed to various models for serving incarcerated youth. To be effective in juvenile ministry, it is imperative that chaplains and ministers fully understand the environment in which they labor. Juvenile facilities are a cross-cultural environment with multi-complex and competing interests. Incarcerated youth represent a sub-population with the needs and problems of typical teenages, only hyper-accelerated. Some of this stress comes internally, and some is caused by the environment to which they are confined.

3.00 Credits
The emphasis of these courses is on physical fitness as it relates to good health (versus sport performance, competition, or physical appearance) and Scriptural-based body stewardship. Thus, courses are designed as personal fitness programs. Students will develop short- and long-term goals for fitness as they pertain to their own abilities, interests, and health. The particular skills and techniques of each sport determine the types of exercises participants will learn. Students may choose from a wide array of activities that can be enjoyed at any skill level and practiced throughout adulthood (e.g. yoga, pilates, boot camp, strength training, zoomba, etc.). Each course requires regular, vigorous participation for the purpose of fitness so regular attendance is mandatory. Each student must take one KINE 100 for credit to meet the University's core requirement. Repeating KINE 100 in a different activity will not accrue additional credit toward graduation and is not allowed.
