Preparation
Marinate the lamb: In a bowl, toss lamb cubes with melted butter, garlic powder, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
Make the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, and mint (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Assemble the skewers: Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
Cook the skewers:
Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Cook skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked to preferred doneness.
Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place skewers on a foil-lined sheet and roast for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Stovetop: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear skewers in a bit of butter or oil for 8–10 minutes, turning to brown all sides.
Serve: Plate skewers and drizzle generously with the herb olive oil dressing. Garnish with extra herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
In Part 1 of this two part webinar, guests Debbie Wagner and Matt Schindeldecker share the story behind Expanding Horizons, a groundbreaking program in Ohio that combines physical fitness and trauma-informed mental health support to rehabilitate incarcerated youth. What began as a collaboration between a juvenile probation officer, fitness coaches, and mental health professionals has grown into a powerful model for transforming lives. Through court-ordered workout sessions and ongoing mentorship, incarcerated youth found trust, routine, and emotional support in a safe and empowering environment.
The program has reduced recidivism to 24%—far below national averages—and helped participants build meaningful futures. The webinar emphasizes how trauma manifests physically and emotionally, and how trained coaches can play a crucial role in recognizing and addressing those needs.
