Abstract

Abstract - The ongoing crisis of democracy in contemporary Indonesia is marked by the weakening of the rule of law, the prevalence of political oligarchy, and the declining public trust in state institutions. The nationwide demonstrations of 2025, protests against parliamentary allowances, and the growing social polarization fueled by digital disinformation illustrate the fragility of democratic foundations. In this context, the church is confronted with a prophetic calling not merely as a religious institution, but also as a moral and social agent that proclaims truth, upholds justice, and defends the marginalized. This article seeks to reassess the prophetic voice of the church amid the democratic crisis through a qualitative approach based on literature review and critical discourse analysis. The findings reveal that the prophetic voice of the church must go beyond pulpit rhetoric and be embodied in concrete practices: pastoral accompaniment for congregations, social solidarity with civil society, advocacy in public policy, and the strategic use of digital media to counter hoaxes and misinformation. Furthermore, the church is called to foster interfaith dialogue, strengthen the political literacy of its members, and prioritize the ethics of justice in public engagement. The study concludes that the church’s prophetic voice remains relevant only when it bridges faith and socio-political praxis, thereby enabling the church to make a tangible contribution to the restoration of democracy in Indonesia. Thus, the church is present not only as the guardian of faith but also as a prophetic voice bringing hope and transformation to the nation.

Abstract

Spiritual mentoring is a crucial tool in the formation of church leaders because it involves the transmission of faith, character, skills, and ministry responsibility. Its effectiveness is not solely determined by the mentor's experience. The mentor's relational orientation influences how authority is used, information is shared, differences are addressed, and dialogue is fostered. This article analyzes insecure leadership as a latent condition that can encourage self-oriented behavior, erode trust, reduce psychological safety, and hinder the mentee's independence. The study was conducted through a conceptual-theological synthesis of nine Indonesian and six international journal articles available through open access. The results reveal three detrimental manifestations: exclusive communication, proximity-based favoritism, and knowledge withholding. The article offers a six-stage model from insecurity to stagnation and proposes regeneration-based evaluation, identity security formation, two-way feedback, and release-oriented mentoring.

Abstract

This article aims to reconstruct Christian homiletics to make it relevant for the empowerment of Christian entrepreneurs in the marketplace. The research highlights the gap between abstract, spiritually focused preaching and the practical needs of Christian businesspeople. Employing a qualitative-theological approach, the study proposes a homiletic framework grounded in Kingdom of God values specifically integrity, stewardship, and social transformation. The findings indicate that this new homiletic approach can (1) enhance intrinsic motivation rooted in divine calling (vocation), (2) integrate business ethics into preaching practices, and (3) encourage the church to serve as an incubator for value-based businesses. The study concludes that: 1. Homiletics must shift from abstract spirituality toward a theology of calling (vocation) that validates entrepreneurial work as an act of worship. 2. Kingdom of God values (integrity, justice, stewardship) must form the core of the sermon's structure and content to shape the congregation's business ethics. 3. Preaching must be practical and empowering, offering guidance for entrepreneurs to navigate market challenges through faith.
