Upaya Pemulihan Spiritual dan Psikologis melalui Pendampingan Pastoral terhadap Janda di GBKP Batu Layang
Kehilangan pasangan hidup merupakan peristiwa yang sangat mengguncang secara emosional dan spiritual, terutama bagi para janda. Mereka kerap menghadapi kesepian, kesedihan mendalam, bahkan krisis iman. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji bagaimana pendampingan pastoral dapat menjadi sarana efektif dalam memulihkan kondisi spiritual dan psikologis janda di GBKP Batu Layang. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendampingan pastoral yang melibatkan konseling, kunjungan jemaat, doa bersama, dan penguatan iman secara bertahap mampu membantu para janda mengalami pemulihan batin, mengatasi kesedihan, serta memulihkan relasi mereka dengan Tuhan dan sesama. Studi ini menekankan pentingnya kehadiran gereja yang peduli dan aktif dalam menjangkau janda sebagai bagian dari pelayanan kasih Kristiani. Hal ini sangat penting untuk dilakukan oleh gereja di Batu Layang, di mana gereja menjadi garam dan terang bagi para janda sehingga mereka merasa diperhatikan, perasaan mereka tidak merasa sendiri di dalam menjalani kehidupan di dunia ini.

Relasi Pranikah di Era Digital: Tantangan Teologis dan Tanggung Jawab Edukatif bagi Pasangan Kristen
Kemajuan teknologi digital telah membawa dampak signifikan terhadap dinamika relasi pranikah, termasuk di kalangan pasangan Kristen. Relasi yang dulunya dibangun secara langsung dan bertahap kini mengalami transformasi melalui media sosial dan komunikasi digital yang serba instan. Masalah utama dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana tantangan relasi pranikah di era digital dapat dipahami secara teologis dan edukatif, serta sejauh mana integrasi keduanya mampu membimbing pasangan Kristen menjalani relasi yang kudus dan sehat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk merumuskan prinsip-prinsip teologis dan tanggung jawab edukatif dalam membina relasi pranikah Kristen di tengah tekanan budaya digital. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif-deskriptif melalui studi pustaka dengan pendekatan reflektif dan sintesis tematik. Kebaruan dari penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi pendekatan teologi relasi dan pendidikan Kristen secara kontekstual terhadap fenomena relasi pranikah digital. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa relasi yang dibentuk tanpa dasar teologis dan pendampingan iman rentan mengalami kedangkalan spiritual, pseudo-intimacy, dan pelanggaran kekudusan. Oleh karena itu, gereja dan pendidikan iman Kristen perlu merespons tantangan ini melalui pembinaan karakter, pendampingan rohani, dan strategi edukatif berbasis nilai Injil yang relevan dengan konteks digital masa kini.

Pendekatan Bermotif Kepemimpinan Sahabat untuk Menciptakan Persekutuan Ramah Generasi Z
Penelitian ini membahas pentingnya pendekatan kepemimpinan sahabat dalam menciptakan persekutuan yang ramah bagi generasi Z (Gen Z) di lingkungan gereja. Gen Z memiliki karakteristik unik, seperti apresiasi tinggi terhadap keotentikan, relasi yang sejajar, serta ketertarikan pada ruang yang inklusif dan partisipatif. Sayangnya, dalam banyak konteks jemaat lokal, persekutuan masih didominasi oleh gaya kepemimpinan formal, hirarkis, dan kurang dialogis. Melalui metode kualitatif, data diperoleh dari studi pustaka, pengamatan dan wawancara dengan Gen Z. Hasil menunjukkan adanya kesenjangan antara harapan Gen Z terhadap pemimpin sebagai sahabat dan kenyataan bahwa sebagian besar pemimpin masih berjarak dan kaku. Pendekatan kepemimpinan sahabat, sebagaimana dikembangkan oleh Yoas Adiprasetya, memberi landasan teologis yang kuat untuk membentuk persekutuan gereja sebagai komunitas yang saling mendukung dalam kasih. Dengan menerapkan gaya kepemimpinan ini, gereja dapat menciptakan ruang aman dan relevan bagi pertumbuhan iman Gen Z.

Pemaknaan Doa dalam Perspektif Martin Luther sebagai Sumbangsih bagi Kehidupan Pemuda Masa Kini
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kembali makna dan fungsi doa dalam kehidupan rohani pemuda Kristen masa kini dengan menjadikan pemikiran Martin Luther sebagai landasan teologis. Masalah utama yang diangkat adalah menurunnya kualitas kehidupan doa di kalangan pemuda, yang ditandai dengan pemaknaan yang dangkal serta praktik doa yang tidak konsisten. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, dengan mengumpulkan data melalui wawancara terhadap beberapa pemuda gereja untuk memahami pandangan dan kebiasaan mereka dalam berdoa. Keunikan penelitian ini terletak pada usaha menghubungkan pemikiran teologi reformatoris Martin Luther tentang doa dengan krisis spiritual yang dihadapi generasi muda masa kini, sebuah pendekatan yang jarang dilakukan dalam studi sejenis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pemuda memahami doa secara umum, namun belum menjadikannya sebagai kebutuhan rohani. Pemikiran Luther yang menekankan doa sebagai nafas iman dan bentuk relasi pribadi dengan Allah dapat memberikan arah baru dalam membangun kehidupan doa yang lebih mendalam, tekun, dan bermakna di tengah tantangan zaman.

Sumbangsih Perspektif Dietrich Bonheoffer dalam Membangun Kinerja Komisi Pelayanan Pemuda
Pemikiran Dietrich Bonhoeffer mengenai pemuridan sejati menjadi titik tolak evaluatif terhadap kinerja Komisi Pelayanan Pemuda GMIM. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh realitas pelayanan yang menunjukkan adanya ketidaksesuaian antara panggilan sebagai pelayan dan praktik yang dijalankan oleh sebagian komisi pemuda, seperti rendahnya partisipasi, kurangnya kedisiplinan rohani, serta minimnya pembentukan komunitas iman. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui wawancara dan observasi, penelitian ini menggali secara mendalam bagaimana konsep kasih karunia mahal, ketaatan, pengorbanan, dan hidup bersama dalam komunitas dapat diaplikasikan dalam konteks pelayanan kategorial pemuda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemikiran Bonhoeffer mampu menjadi model pembinaan rohani yang transformatif dan relevan dalam menjawab tantangan pelayanan pemuda masa kini. Aplikasi praktisnya mencakup pembentukan spiritualitas pemuridan, pemimpin yang taat, serta komunitas yang saling membina dalam iman.

Nilai-nilai Teologi Praktis menurut Pete Ward untuk Membentuk Karakter Remaja Kristen
Artikel ini membahas nilai-nilai teologi praktis yang berperan penting dalam pembentukan karakter remaja Kristen di era globalisasi yang semakin kompleks. Teologi praktis sebagai cabang teologi yang menekankan penerapan iman dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, menawarkan pendekatan yang relevan dan kontekstual dalam membentuk kepribadian remaja yang berkarakter baik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi lapangan dan studi pustaka. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi dan kajian literatur, serta eksplorasi pandangan orang tua remaja Kristen serta jemaat dan pihak Gereja Masehi Injili di Minahasa terhadap karakter remaja Kristen di lingkungan mereka. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai seperti kasih, iman, pengharapan, pengampunan, dan tanggung jawab perlu diterapkan dalam kehidupan remaja untuk membentuk karakter yang mencerminkan ajaran Kristus. Selain itu, keterlibatan aktif gereja dan keluarga dalam proses pembinaan sangat menentukan arah pertumbuhan iman dan karakter remaja. Artikel ini diharapkan dapat mendorong kesadaran baru di kalangan remaja Kristen untuk menjalani kehidupan yang bermakna, sesuai dengan nilai-nilai kekristenan di tengah kompleksitas dunia modern.

Implikasi Konsep Sanctification John Wesley sebagai Upaya Membangun Nilai-nilai Kekristenan bagi Pemuda
Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh fenomena pergeseran nilai dan krisis moral yang dialami oleh pemuda Kristen, khususnya di Jemaat GMIM Gloria Taratara, yang ditandai dengan perilaku menyimpang seperti pergaulan bebas, konsumsi alkohol, serta melemahnya fondasi iman. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis implikasi konsep sanctification menurut John Wesley sebagai dasar pembentukan nilai-nilai kekristenan di kalangan pemuda. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan perspektif fenomenologi, yang menekankan pemahaman makna pengalaman spiritual pemuda dan penghayatan iman dalam konteks sosial. Masalah utama penelitian terletak pada disorientasi spiritual pemuda yang lebih menekankan kebebasan diri daripada kekudusan hidup. Kebaruan penelitian terlihat pada penerapan konsep sanctification Wesley sebagai kerangka teologis dan praktis pembinaan iman, berbeda dari penelitian terdahulu yang lebih menyoroti faktor etika dan pengaruh lingkungan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa prinsip sanctification berperan penting dalam membentuk pemuda Kristen yang kudus, berintegritas, dan berkomitmen pada pelayanan. Dengan demikian, sanctification dipahami bukan hanya sebagai doktrin, melainkan strategi transformatif untuk membangun iman, moralitas, dan tanggung jawab sosial secara kontekstual.

Dampak Pernikahan Usia Dini pada Keharmonisan Rumah Tangga
This study aims to analyze the impact of early marriage on household harmony from a Christian faith perspective. The main issue examined is how marriage at an immature age affects the dynamics of the husband-wife relationship, emotional stability, and the overall quality of family life. The research method employed is a literature study using a descriptive qualitative approach, in which theological, psychological, and sociological literature serve as the primary sources of analysis. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of Christian faith values in assessing an individual's readiness for marriage as a sacred covenant rather than merely a social contract. The findings indicate that early marriage poses a high risk of household disharmony due to emotional immaturity, economic instability, and a lack of spiritual understanding. The study concludes that faith formation and character education based on Christian values are essential from adolescence to prevent early marriage and to build families that are spiritually, emotionally, and socially resilient.

Integrasi Strategi Pembelajaran Inkuiri dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen untuk Mengembangkan Pemikiran Kritis Teologis Siswa
Christian Religious Education (CRE) plays a strategic role in shaping students’ faith, character, and theological thinking. However, CRE learning is often delivered in a one-way manner, emphasizing doctrinal memorization, which hinders the development of contextual and critical faith reflection. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the inquiry-based learning strategy in CRE and to assess its effectiveness in fostering students’ theological critical thinking. The central issue addressed in this research is the low level of student engagement in meaningful learning processes and their limited ability to connect faith teachings with real-life contexts. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth analytical study, this research offers a novelty in the integration of inquiry strategies that enable students to ask questions, investigate, discuss, and reflect on faith teachings actively and contextually. The findings reveal that this strategy significantly enhances students’ understanding of biblical values, cultivates reflective theological responses, and strengthens the relevance of CRE to real-life situations. Inquiry-based learning proves to be a transformative and applicable pedagogical approach for contemporary CRE instruction.

Ekoteologi dalam Kelas untuk Menumbuhkan Kesadaran Ekologis berbasis Ajaran Kristen pada Generasi Muda
This article aims to critically examine how ecotheology can be integrated into Christian Religious Education (CRE) learning in order to foster ecological awareness of the younger generation. The main problems raised are the low integration of ecological values in Christian education and the weak response of faith to the environmental crisis. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods, through analysis of relevant theological and pedagogical literature. The novelty of this study lies in the development of ecotheology as a pedagogical framework based on faith reflection, contextual experience, and real action in the classroom. The results of the study show that an active and transformative ecotheological learning model is able to shape the ecological character of students and strengthen spirituality that is responsible for creation. CRE teachers, schools, and churches have a strategic role in shaping a culture of faith that cares about the environment as part of a relevant and contextual Christian testimony.

Martangiang di Tengah Dapur: Spiritualitas Perempuan Batak sebagai Ibadah Domestik dan Tempat Perjumpaan dengan Allah
This study aims to reveal the meaning of Batak women's spirituality (ina partataring) through the practice of martangiang (prayer) performed in the kitchen as a hidden yet meaningful form of domestic worship. The research addresses the questions of how such domestic prayers reflect spiritual strength in the face of life’s limitations and how the kitchen is positioned as a sacred space in Batak culture. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, this study explores the religious experiences of mothers through in-depth interviews and literature analysis on Batak culture and contextual theology. The findings show that the spirituality of Batak women does not depend on formal liturgical expressions, but is manifested in silence, sacrifice, and resilience within domestic spaces. The novelty of this research lies in its reinterpretation of the kitchen as a locus theologicus, or theological space, for Batak women—an aspect often overlooked in theological studies. This research offers a new discourse on contextual theology that centers women's spiritual experiences and broadens the understanding of faith practices in nonformal settings.

Pendidikan Kerohanian Berdasarkan Yohanes 15:1-8: Studi Eksegesis bagi Penguatan Teologi Pendidikan Agama Kristen
This study aims to analyze the meaning of spiritual maturity based on John 15:1-8 and its implications for Christian Religious Education, particularly in shaping the faith character of students in theological colleges and churches. The phenomenon of spiritual immaturity within churches and theological education institutions impacts the quality of spirituality and ministry performance. This research employed a qualitative method with an exegetical approach to text of John 15:1-8, supported by a literature review from accredited theological journals published in the last ten years. The novelty of this study lies in constructing a spiritual formation model based on the concepts of abiding in Christ (menō), divine spiritual pruning (kathairō), and the fruit of faith (karpos) as indicators of spiritual maturity. The findings show that an existential, active relationship with Christ, accompanied by spiritual disciplines and character purification, is essential for effective faith development. These results are implemented through exegetical-based discipleship curricula, prayer communities, periodic spiritual evaluations, and faith-purification retreats in theological education and local churches. This study contributes practically to the development of relational spirituality-based Christian Religious Education in Indonesia.

Pemuda dan Panggilan Kepemimpinan dalam Pelayanan Gereja
Amidst the current of globalization and rapid technological development, the role of youth in church ministry is increasingly receiving attention. Youth are not only seen as the next generation, but as an important part of the church community that has great potential in leading, innovating, and reaching the world contextually. This study aims to examine the calling of youth leadership in church ministry as a spiritual and social responsibility. Through a qualitative approach with a literature analysis method, this study examines the concept of servant leadership rooted in biblical values, as well as the importance of character building, spiritual growth, and providing space for youth to be actively involved. The results of the study indicate that the church needs to foster and entrust strategic roles to youth so that they are able to respond to the challenges of the times with humility and integrity. True leadership is based on the example of Christ who served, loved, and sacrificed. Therefore, the formation of young church leaders must be carried out holistically, sustainably, and contextually.

Pendidikan Multikultural sebagai Pendekatan Misi dalam Program Remaja Teladan
Indonesia has a diversity of ethnicities, religions, races and cultures that must be maintained for the sake of unity. Multicultural education is important to instill the value of tolerance and respect for differences. This research focuses on the effectiveness of multicultural education in the Exemplary Teenager program in the Christian Evangelical Church in Minahasa, especially in the Southwest Manado Region. The method used is qualitative with observation and interviews. The results show that there are social interactions that reflect tolerance, but the understanding of multicultural education is still minimal. The program focuses more on faith and moral development without integrated multicultural materials. To improve effectiveness, a curriculum that teaches tolerance, conflict resolution and respect for diversity is needed. Coaches also need training so that they can teach the concept of multiculturalism in more depth. The integration of multicultural education is expected to form Christian teenagers who are strong in faith and have social awareness to coexist in diversity according to God's holistic mission.

Mendidik Pemimpin Masa Depan yang Berkarakter dan Beretika melalui Pendidikan Agama Kristen
In The leadership crisis marked by declining moral and ethical integrity in various sectors of life encourages the need for an educational approach that is able to shape future leaders with character and ethics. This study aims to examine in depth the contribution of Christian Religious Education (CRE) in the formation of character and leadership ethics through a qualitative approach based on library research. Data sources were obtained from primary and secondary literature in the form of scientific journals, theological books, and relevant previous research results. The results of the study indicate that Biblical values ​​such as love, justice, humility, and integrity have an important role in shaping transformative Christian leadership. The novelty of this study lies in the interdisciplinary approach that integrates theological, pedagogical, and ethical perspectives in building a contextual and applicable character education model. Therefore, CRE has strategic potential in producing leaders who are not only intellectually capable, but also have a strong moral and spiritual commitment, which is relevant to answering the challenges of leadership in the global and digital era.

Pendidikan Kristen sebagai Fondasi Teologis dan Historis dalam Konteks Modern
Christian education rests on the principle that all learning should be God-centred and directed to glorify Him. In the context of today's pluralistic society and digital age, Christian education faces major challenges such as globalisation, moral degradation and secularisation. This article offers theological and historical reflections on education in the life of the church, tracing its roots in the Bible and church history from the time of the apostles to the Protestant Reformation. Christian education not only transfers knowledge, but also shapes learners' character and faith through a holistic approach that involves spiritual, intellectual and social aspects. Through a qualitative-descriptive method with an integrative approach between educational theology and church historiography, this article emphasises the importance of contextual, missionary and discipleship-based Christian education. By living the educational heritage of the church, Christian education today is called to be light and salt in the midst of a culture of materialism and relativism. The curriculum of Christian education needs to be transformed by making Christ the centre, and building transformative relationships between teachers and students. Thus, Christian education is able to answer the challenges of modern times without losing the identity and integrity of faith.

Mempersoalkan Kebenaran Bahasa Iklan dalam Media Massa : Tinjauan Kebenaran-Kebenaran secara Epistemologi
This article aims to question and critically examine the notion of truth within advertising language as disseminated through mass media, by employing an epistemological framework. In the current era of rapid information flow, advertising language tends to deliver messages that are persuasive and, at times, manipulative, thereby raising essential epistemic concerns regarding the extent to which such language conveys truth. The study adopts a qualitative approach through library research, involving the collection and analysis of written sources such as books, scholarly journals, and academic articles discussing theories of truth in epistemology—including coherence, correspondence, pragmatism, and consensus—alongside studies on advertising discourse and mass media. The primary focus lies in exploring how these epistemological theories can be applied to evaluate the truth-claims embedded in advertising language and to assess their influence on the public's knowledge construction and behavioral responses. The significance of this study is particularly relevant for families and young people, urging them to engage more critically and reflectively with advertising messages encountered in everyday life. In doing so, this article contributes to the development of epistemological awareness in relation to advertising language within the context of contemporary social life.

Teologi Kurikulum: Kristologi, Fondasi, Struktur, dan Dinamika Transformasional Pendidikan Kristen
This study examines the role of Christology as a foundational theological framework in the development of a Christian education curriculum aimed at the holistic transformation of learners. The research focuses on the dynamics of curriculum design, its structural underpinnings, and the selection of content that harmoniously integrates faith, knowledge, and socio-cultural context. Employing a systematic literature review methodology, the study critically analyses relevant theories and practices within curriculum theology. The findings reveal that Christology functions as the central axis for integrating faith and learning, thereby fostering a curriculum that is both adaptive and meaningful. These results underscore the imperative of maintaining a balance between theological values and academic advancement within Christian education. The originality of this research lies in its comprehensive synthesis of Christological perspectives with the transformational dimensions of curriculum development, an area seldom explored in depth within Christian educational discourse.
