Abstract

Abstract Current technological advances have changed the way humans communicate and live their lives. Including in Christian mission services. This article discusses how digitalization is a great opportunity for Christians to live out the calling of the Great Commission to preach the gospel to all nations. Through social media, online broadcasts, digital platforms, the gospel can be delivered to everyone without being limited by geography anymore. There is also a great opportunity to reach various groups from different backgrounds, even those who are difficult to reach physically. However, there are challenges such as hoaxes, digital culture that encourages personal popularity, floods of information, and the dangers of false teachings that can cloud the faith of believers. Therefore, there needs to be responsibility and wisdom when conveying the good news by using or utilizing digital platforms.   Abstrak Kemajuan teknologi saat ini telah mengubah cara manusia berkomunikasi dan menjalani hidup. Termasuk dalam pelayanan misi Kristen. Artikel ini membahas bagaimana digitalisasi menjadi peluang yang besar bagi umat Kristen dalam menghidupi panggilan Amanat Agung unutk memberitakan injil kepada segala bangsa.

Abstract

Pastoral ministry is fundamentally rooted in the calling to serve, as exemplified by JesusChrist, the Good Shepherd. However, in today’s ecclesial context, it is not uncommon tofind situations where pastors are positioned or even positions themselves as those hoare served rather than as servants. This study aims to critically examine the role ofpastors as shepherds of the congregation amid the tension between the calling to serveand the tendency to be served. The research employs a qualitative method with apastoral case study approach by interviews, observation, and reflection on ministryexperiences within the congregation. The findings reveal a shift in the understanding ofpastoral ministry, influenced by congregational expectation, church culture, structuralworkload, and the psychological and spiritual conditions of pastors. This shif affectspastor’s relationships, the quality of shepherding, and the spirituality of ministry. Thestudy emphasizes the importance of continuous theological reflection and spiritualformation for pastors to remain faithful to their identity as servants and shepherds ofGod’s people. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of pastoraltheology and the practice of church ministry that is healthier, relational, and centered onthe example of Christ.

Abstract

Youth face complex psychosocial challenges amid rapid social, economic, and technological changes. One key strategy for addressing these challenges is strengthening resilience, particularly spiritual resilience. Spiritual resilience refers to an individual’s ability to endure and recover from life’s difficulties through the power of faith, life meaning, and spiritual values. This study aims to examine the concept of spiritual resilience in youth through a cognitive-behavioral psychology (CBT) approach using a literature review method. The analysis draws upon various scholarly sources that explore the relationship between CBT mechanisms and the development of spirituality. The findings indicate that integrating CBT with spiritual values, including within a Christian context, can enhance youth’s mental endurance, assist in restructuring negative cognitions, and support mental health and spiritual growth. This approach offers a holistic and contextual intervention framework to help youth more effectively cope with stress, anxiety, and identity crises.

Abstract

The Minahasa community is known for its fondness for singing or vocal music. The song that has become the identity of the Minahasa community is known as Ma'kaaruyen. This research explores how the Minahasa community's way of life is interpreted through the song Ma'kaaruyen; a traditional musical artwork originating from Minahasa. Ma'kaaruyen is assumed to be one of the arts that reflects the life of the Minahasa community. Through a qualitative descriptive approach and analysis of the text found in the Ma'kaaruyen song, it was found that it contains meanings that integrate with the values of the Minahasa community's way of life. The musical elements in Ma'kaaruyen reflect the character and nature of traditional Minahasa society, which are associated with simplicity, tranquility, gentleness, cooperation (mapalus), and a loving attitude towards others. The extramusical meaning of Ma'kaaruyen from its lyrics is that Ma'kaaruyen is a song that conveys religious messages, advice, love, and expressions of the heart (lamentation and regret). Thus, the Ma'kaaruyen song has a reconciling function, which includes four main aspects of living in peace: a) reconciling with Allah, b) reconciling with oneself, c) reconciling with fellow human beings, and d) reconciling with the environment.

Abstract

Pastoral care is an important aspect of church ministry that aims to provide spiritual and emotional support for individuals or groups facing life challenges, including in the context of marriage. This research focuses on the role of the church in pastoral care for the Toki Pintu culture in Minahasa, a tradition that involves two families in a traditional marriage procession. Although the Toki Pintu culture has important values in maintaining family relationships and preventing inbreeding, in practice it has begun to lose its meaning as a means of strengthening family relationships. This study uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods to analyze the impact of pastoral care in Toki Pintu traditional marriage, which involves guidance, strengthening and reconciliation in family life. The results show that pastoral care not only focuses on spiritual aspects, but also strengthens social and cultural values in the community. The Toki Pintu tradition has a significant impact on creating family and community harmony, as well as maintaining healthy relationships between married couples with the support of the extended family and community. The pastoral approach in this context helps couples build a solid home life, integrating the teachings of the Christian faith and local cultural values.

Abstract

This study discusses the defense mechanisms of adolescent bullies, the factors that cause adolescents to use bullying as a form of defense mechanism and how defense mechanisms can be utilized as a pastoral counseling strategy. This study used the descriptive qualitative method. The data were obtained from observations, interviews and literature studies related to defense mechanisms for bullying adolescents. Where the defense mechanisms in adolescent bullies are irrational, destructive and aggressive. This is caused by an ego that has not yet developed and matured, as well as the bullies relationship with family, parents, peers, school and church. Therefore, through pastoral counseling, the bullies as the counselee will be assisted and directed to use a healthy defense mechanism. Defense mechanisms such as repression, diversion, reaction formation, regression and sublimation will be used as a pastoral counseling strategy. So negative defense mechanisms can be trained and diverted by processing or dealing with anxiety and conflicts in healthier manners. Defense mechanism can also be used to help bullies to stop using bullying as a defense mechanism through its use as a pastoral counseling strategy.

Abstract

Pelayanan gereja dalam tradisi Kristen Protestan tidak hanya terbatas pada penyampaian liturgi atau kegiatan seremonial, melainkan mencakup kehadiran nyata dalam kehidupan umat, khususnya dalam mendampingi keluarga jemaat yang mengalami krisis. Pendampingan pastoral menjadi bentuk pelayanan yang menyentuh aspek spiritual, sosial, emosional, dan psikologis umat secara utuh. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif berbasis studi pustaka dari jurnal-jurnal teologi terakreditasi tahun 2014–2025. Teknik analisis ini digunakan untuk menggali praktik dan makna pendampingan pastoral dalam kehidupan keluarga jemaat. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan pastoral yang dilakukan secara relasional, empatik, dan haltual mampu menghadirkan kasih Kristus secara nyata, terutama dalam situasi duka, konflik keluarga, dan tekanan sosial. Budaya lokal seperti mapalus di Minahasa memperkuat model pendampingan dengan nilai gotong royong yang merefleksikan solidaritas Kristen. Pembahasan mengaitkan temuan dengan teori pastoral Howard Clinebell dan teologi pembebasan yang menekankan pembebasan spiritual dan sosial. Simpulan dari penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa gereja perlu terus mengembangkan pelayanan pendampingan pastoral yang inklusif dan transformatif sebagai panggilan untuk menjadi saluran kasih Kristus di tengah keluarga jemaat.
