Abstract

People with depression have potential and symptoms that lead to acts of self-harm and a desire to end life. Conventional approaches in this regard, medical and psychological approaches, can overcome depression but have limitations, so there is a crucial need to expand interventions, including in spiritual contexts. People with depression must be helped holistically so that Pastoral Counseling Assistance can be the answer. This paper aims to describe pastoral counseling assistance as an indispensable effort for sufferers (victims) of depression impacting self-harm and suicide to get complete and sustainable recovery by restoring themselves, reasoning, and having hope and enthusiasm to live the reality of life. This research uses qualitative methods with a literature-review approach to obtaining relevant data. The results of this study show that holistic pastoral counseling assistance and using an integrated approach based on conditions and needs is effective in helping people with depression overcome depression and negative impulses.

Abstract

This article explores the integration of spirituality in pastoral counseling through a holistic Christian education approach. The research reveals that spirituality is not merely an additional element, but a fundamental dimension that animates the entire counseling process. A systematic literature review found significant gaps in pastoral counseling practices in Indonesia, where the spiritual dimension is often separated from the psychological approach. The article analyzes the theological foundation of spirituality as the basis for pastoral counseling, explores a holistic approach in integrating spiritual dimensions with psychological aspects, and formulates an implementation model of spiritual harmony in pastoral counselor education programs. Findings indicate that harmonizing spirituality in pastoral counseling requires a systematic approach through integrated curriculum, spiritual formation, supervision models based on theological reflection, and contextualization relevant to Indonesian realities. This model's implementation impacts individual recovery and contributes to transforming faith communities and developing counseling approaches responsive to contemporary challenges.   Abstrak Artikel ini mengeksplorasi integrasi spiritualitas dalam konseling pastoral melalui pendekatan pendidikan Kristiani yang holistik. Penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa spiritualitas bukan sekadar elemen tambahan, melainkan dimensi fundamental yang menjiwai seluruh proses konseling. Melalui kajian literatur sistematis, ditemukan adanya kesenjangan signifikan dalam praktik konseling pastoral di Indonesia, di mana dimensi spiritualitas seringkali dipisahkan dari pendekatan psikologis. Artikel menganalisis fondasi teologis spiritualitas sebagai landasan konseling pastoral, mengeksplorasi pendekatan holistik dalam mengintegrasikan dimensi spiritual dengan aspek psikologis, serta merumuskan model implementasi harmoni spiritualitas dalam program pendidikan konselor pastoral. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa harmonisasi spiritualitas dalam konseling pastoral membutuhkan pendekatan sistematis melalui kurikulum terintegrasi, pembentukan spiritual, model supervisi berbasis refleksi teologis, dan kontekstualisasi yang relevan dengan realitas Indonesia. Implementasi model ini tidak hanya berdampak pada pemulihan individu, tetapi juga berkontribusi pada transformasi komunitas iman dan pengembangan pendekatan konseling yang responsif terhadap tantangan kontemporer.

Abstract

The transformation of the Messianic paradigm of Jesus as a role model for Christian political education addresses and actively participates in Indonesian democracy in the context of the 2024 elections. In this political situation in Indonesia, Jesus is seen as a figure who exemplifies how to interact with the world of politics in an ethical and integrity manner. Based on the theological view from Daniel 7:13-14 regarding the Son of Man, Jesus' Messiahship is emphasized again in Mark 8:27-30. Dismissing the Jewish view represented by Peter regarding Jesus as the Revolutionary Messiah, Jesus actually exemplifies a very different paradigm. He is not a political leader but his leadership values ​​are visible in his service which aims for a new, more dignified way of life. This paradigm suggests that Christian political education should focus on teaching values ​​such as justice, compassion, and service to others, in line with the teachings of Jesus. This transformation is important in the current political context, where integrity and ethics are often questioned. By taking Jesus as a role model, Christian political education can help form leaders with principles and integrity.

Abstract

This research discusses the role of pastoral counseling assistance in helping single mothers or young single mothers face life challenges, especially in the context of the church. Single mothers are often faced with economic problems, social pressure, negative stigma, and complex psychological issues. This condition is exacerbated by their young age, which is often emotionally immature in facing the dual role of mother and head of the family. The Client-Centered approach proposed by Carl Rogers was chosen as a counseling method that emphasizes empathy, support without judgment, and provides space for the counselee to reflect and find their own problem solutions. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach that emphasizes objective field observations. Through systematic counseling stages, such as establishing trust, data identification, diagnosis, plan development, help implementation, and evaluation, pastoral assistance is expected to run effectively and help single mothers restore their mental and spiritual health.
