Abstract

This study aims to analyze and understand the influence of technology on the spiritual closeness of students at the Christian State Institute (IAKN) Kupang. The rapid development of digital technology has brought changes to various aspects of life, including the spiritual lives of Christian students. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving active students of IAKN Kupang selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that technology has a significant influence on students’ spiritual closeness, both positively and negatively. Positive impacts include easier access to devotional materials, digital Bibles, online worship services, and spiritual content that supports faith development. On the other hand, negative impacts are reflected in reduced prayer time, declining spiritual discipline, and increased distractions due to excessive social media use. This study concludes that technology can serve as a means of supporting students’ spiritual growth when used wisely, in balance, and based on Christian values.

Abstract

To become a Christian Religious Education (PAK) teacher candidate, they must have a strong understanding of theology and pedagogy, as well as the ability to help students find meaning in their personal contexts and lives. As a philosophy that emphasizes freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning, existentialism can be a reflective approach to Christian education. In this article, we discuss how Christian Religious Education (PAK) teacher candidates can integrate the principles of existentialism with the values of Christian faith to help students answer fundamental questions about existence, purpose, and hope in life. PAK teachers are expected to be able to build a learning environment that encourages students to find the true meaning of life in the light of Christ by using approaches such as discussion, critical reflection, and faith experiences. This study emphasizes the importance of teachers helping people grow spiritually and existentially, so that Christian religious education is not only cognitive, but also transformational for students' lives.
