  Throughout my life, I held the belief that a criminal was someone that had committed crimes without any forethought to their actions and did not consider the consequences. I was influenced by my upbringing by both family and society.

  As I have grown into adulthood and experienced my viewpoint on criminals and the judicial system has changed.

  For a long time, I considered a criminal to be someone who broke the law and got caught. Now, I am learning that there are many different ways to explain the term. I feel that a criminal could be someone who is not connected to God and does not have the relationship with Him that would potentially affect their decision-making and their life overall.

  Criminals are people who have never experienced the love of God that would keep them from making poor choices. I have been the criminal and the only thing that changed my life was the love of God and the transformation of the salvation from Jesus. My thinking has changed over time because I have grown in maturity in Christ.

  My image of a criminal is one who feels like they have nothing to loose. Crime usual starts for one of several reasons one dominant influence, lack of need, or possibly mental illness. I use too be one of those type of people. God, changed me and wants to use that for the better good.

  Pastoral care, mentoring, discernment, spiritual maturity, learning. In my ministry at school with the students and parents I am given the opportunity to encourage them.

  I am given the opportunity to listen to their concerns and provide care and sometimes gentle counseling.

  Resilience, boldness, independence, forgiveness, and non-judgmental.

  1. Resilience to teach people there is a better way to live out the rest of their life.

  2. Boldness to come alongside a person to help them get the resources for recovery from a life of crime.

  3. Independence to train a person they can do it themselves through Christ, to break free from a sinful life.

  4. Forgiveness to give to the person to show them they owe no debt.

  5. Non-Judgmental of the person to help them heal from a life of pain.

  I’m strong in my faith in God and I have a desire to share what God can do even in the mist of what you are going through.

  I’m Very strong minded and I believe everyone deserves a chance for redemptions.

  I’m a great listener and being in correction ministries requires listening to get to the source of a problem.

  I can relate to most people which makes it easy for people to feel comfortable to talk to me.

  I always do my research and not base my decisions off of emotions.

  Educating on not behaving your way into a position you have to pray your way out of. Providing education on different responses to situations to achieve more positive outcomes, handling emotions in a healthier way.

  Cognitive Behavioral Interventions is an evidence-based treatment that helps incarcerated individuals understand their thoughts and feelings which influence behaviors. Many incarcerated individuals experience significant mental health issues, such as substance abuse, and trauma-related disorders which can impact their rehabilitation and reentry into society. CBT offers a structured, evidence-based approach to help those who are incarcerated develop coping skills, and address problematic behaviors, and beliefs.

  CBE is sometimes defined in part as “Education provided is presented in a passive manner to understand how an individual personally controls both cognition and its resultant chosen behaviors.”
  It is not CBT, which has more of a scientific based approach, where as CBE is more a philosophical based approach.
  I believe education is very important to individual growth and future. As school chaplain I see how the quality of education and the students response to education, as well as the general communities respect for education, can impact both the current and future of kids.
