Abstract

This study aims to explore discipleship in the younger generation finding their true identity in Christ in today's digital era. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study involved young people and young adults who are active in church communities. In this case, the younger generation in searching for identity in the digital era, finding true identity in Christ through discipleship requires the development of a discipleship approach that is responsive to complex social and digital dynamics. By integrating technology and interactive learning methods, discipleship can increase the relevance and effectiveness of programs offered to the younger generation. Through proper guidance, discipleship not only helps individuals recognize their identity in faith but also equips them with the skills and beliefs to contribute positively to society. The results of the study indicate that discipleship functions as a process of spiritual learning and in-depth character building, which strengthens the values of love, sacrifice, and commitment to the teachings of Christ. Through interactions in discipleship groups, young people are empowered to share hopes and challenges, strengthen a sense of solidarity, and discuss issues that are relevant to their lives. Thus, discipleship becomes a vital tool in forming a strong identity and guiding young people towards a meaningful life in line with their calling of faith.

Abstract

This study investigated the determinants of electric vehicle (EV) purchase intentions in Batam, Indonesia, utilizing the Stimulus–Organism–Response (SOR) framework. We examined how four external stimuli government support, perceived monetary benefits, technology orientation, and perceived risk influence consumer attitude and subsequent purchase intention. Data collected from 356 potential EV adopters via purposive sampling were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that government support, per-ceived monetary benefits, and technology orientation significantly enhance consumer attitude, which, in turn, strongly strengthens purchase intention. This confirms attitude as a central psychological me-chanism mediating the SOR process in EV adoption. However, perceived risk was found to have no significant effect on either attitude or intention, suggesting that a strong policy-supported environment in Batam might mitigate consumer concerns regarding EV technology. These findings validate the SOR framework's application in understanding EV adoption in developing markets. Practically, the study em-phasizes that accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility requires continued government fiscal incentives, sustained technological advancements, and effective public awareness campaigns. By strengthening these positive stimuli, policymakers and practitioners can significantly enhance consumer readiness and contribute to national green-transportation goals.
