Abstract: This article discusses the church's theological and pastoral strategies in responding to the generational gap between seniors and Millennials and Generation Z in the digital age. This study uses a reflective qualitative approach with a contextual theological framework through a literature study of contemporary theological and social literature. The results of the study show that the crisis in the involvement of the younger generation is not only due to technological changes, but also the incompatibility of the church's spiritual paradigm with the faith needs of the digital generation. Millennials and Gen Z want a community that is authentic, open, and relevant to the realities of life. Therefore, the church needs to reinterpret its calling incarnation, presenting God's love in digital culture and cross-generational relationships. The proposed strategies include the formation of communities as safe spaces, collaborative leadership, and digital-based faith building. Thus, the multigenerational church becomes a form of trinitarian ecclesiology that integrates differences as the richness of God's love for the modern world. Keywords: Church; Millennials; Generation Z; Contextual Theology; Digital; Multigenerational. Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas strategi teologis dan pastoral gereja dalam merespons kesenjangan generasi antara kaum senior dengan generasi Milenial dan Generasi Z di era digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif reflektif dengan kerangka teologi kontekstual melalui studi pustaka terhadap literatur teologi dan sosial kontemporer. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa krisis keterlibatan generasi muda bukan sekadar akibat perubahan teknologi, tetapi juga ketidaksesuaian paradigma spiritual gereja dengan kebutuhan iman generasi digital. Milenial dan Gen Z menghendaki komunitas yang otentik, terbuka, dan relevan dengan realitas hidup. Karena itu, gereja perlu menafsir ulang panggilannya secara inkarnasional, menghadirkan kasih Allah dalam budaya digital dan relasi lintas generasi. Strategi yang diusulkan mencakup pembentukan komunitas sebagai ruang aman, kepemimpinan kolaboratif, dan pembinaan iman berbasis digital. Dengan demikian, gereja multigenerasi menjadi wujud eklesiologi trinitaris yang mengintegrasikan perbedaan sebagai kekayaan kasih Allah bagi dunia modern. Kata kunci: Gereja; Milenial; Generasi Z; Teologi Kontekstual; Digital; Multigenerasi

The Industrial Revolution 5.0 has brought significant disruption in various aspects of life, including in the structure and leadership patterns of the church. Digital transformation requires congregational pastors to adopt new approaches, both in communication, church nurturing, and in reunderstanding spiritual authority in the midst of an ever-evolving virtual reality. This article aims to analyze relevant forms of congregational pastoral leadership in the digital age by emphasizing the importance of a balance between spiritual authority and digital competence. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with theological analysis methods and contextual reflection to formulate theological implications and practical strategies for local churches. The results of the analysis show that congregational pastors need to develop contextual spirituality in the digital space, implement participatory leadership patterns in the online ecosystem, and lead the church collectively in innovation rooted in gospel values. This article recommends strategies in the form of sustainable digital coaching, hybrid ministry reorganization, and the formation of a theological and adaptive church culture in response to the dynamics of the digital age.

The phenomenon of tongues (glossolalia) has been one of the most important gifts of the Holy Spirit discussed since the time of Pentecost (Acts 2). The Pentecostal and Charismatic traditions see it as a sign of the outpouring of the Spirit, while the mainstream church sees it more as one of the gifts among many others. This article aims to present a theological synthesis of the four main dimensions of language: (1) as the gift of the Holy Spirit that bestows on the body of Christ; (2) as a language of prayer that deepens one's personal relationship with God; (3) as a language of communication to spread the gospel across languages; and (4) as an eschatological sign that indicates the fulfillment of God's promises. This study uses qualitative methods based on literature studies and biblical-theological analysis. The results of this study confirm that glossolalia is a multidimensional pneumatological phenomenon that must be practiced in an orderly, mature manner, oriented towards the development of the body of Christ and the mission of God, so that the church avoids reducing or absolutizing it.

Abstract: Raising children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents various challenges for families, especially in psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. In the context of the Christian family, this experience is processed not only as a burden of care, but also as a battle of faith that includes questions about the meaning of suffering and hope. This article aims to examine how Christian families interpret suffering and hope in dealing with the education of autistic children. This research uses a qualitative-theoretical approach through an interdisciplinary review of the literature that integrates family psychology, road theory and Christian theology. The results of the study show that family coping is collective and is strongly influenced by the religious meaning that the family builds. Suffering can be understood constructively as a space for the transformation of faith and family relationships, while hope, rooted in the Christian faith, plays an important role in building family resilience. This article emphasizes the need for pastoral-theological support, as well as the inclusive and empathetic role of the church, to promote positive religious coping and support the holistic well-being of Christian families with autistic children. Keywords: Autism, Family Coping, Suffering, Christian Hope, Pastoral Theology

This research is motivated by the increasing attention to the practice of tongues in the Pentecostal tradition as a means of building prayer stamina, as well as the emergence of praxis deviations such as the commercialization of gifts and excessive symbolic meaning. Using the qualitative method of literature study, this study examines the theological, psychological, and neurotheological literature related to the function of glossolalia in prayer. The purpose of this research is to explain the theological basis and scientific findings that support the role of tongues in strengthening prayer perseverance. The results of the study show that tongue language is understood as prayer mediated by the Holy Spirit and is supported by findings of religious psychology and neurotheology that associate it with increased emotional regulation and prayer duration. This study concludes that tongue language has significant potential in building prayer stamina if practiced in a healthy and responsible manner. Abstrak Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh meningkatnya perhatian terhadap praktik bahasa lidah dalam tradisi Pentakostal sebagai sarana membangun stamina doa, sekaligus munculnya penyimpangan praksis seperti komersialisasi karunia dan pemaknaan simbolik yang berlebihan. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif studi kepustakaan, penelitian ini menelaah literatur teologis, psikologis, dan neuroteologis terkait fungsi glossolalia dalam doa. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menjelaskan dasar teologis dan temuan ilmiah yang mendukung peran bahasa lidah dalam memperkuat ketekunan doa. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa bahasa lidah dipahami sebagai doa yang dimediasi Roh Kudus serta didukung temuan psikologi agama dan neuroteologi yang mengaitkannya dengan peningkatan regulasi emosi dan durasi doa. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa bahasa lidah berpotensi signifikan dalam membangun stamina doa apabila dipraktikkan secara sehat dan bertanggung jawab. Kata Kunci: Pentakostal, Bahasa lidah, Doa, Stamina doa, Roh Kudus, Spiritualitas

Abstract This study discusses the theological meaning of John the Baptist's statement in John 1:29 about Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. This study is carried out because the concept is often understood in a limited way, even though it has important significance in redemptive theology. This research aims to examine the theological meaning of the concept of the Lamb of God and show the finality of Christ's redemptive work. This study uses a qualitative approach with the method of biblical exegesis through the analysis of Greek texts, tracing the background of the Old Testament, and the study of theological literature. The results of the study show that the term Lamb of God refers to the fulfillment of the Passover sacrifice and the sin offering in the Old Testament. Through His sacrifice on the cross, Christ offered the perfect and final sacrifice that effectively took away the sin of mankind with universal coverage. This study concludes that Christ's redemptive finality provides a theological basis for the certainty of salvation and renews the church's understanding of worship and mission. Key words: Lamb; Sin; finality; Redemption; Jesus Christ. Abstrak Penelitian ini membahas makna teologis pernyataan Yohanes Pembaptis dalam Yohanes 1:29 tentang Yesus sebagai Anak Domba Allah yang menghapus dosa dunia. Kajian ini dilakukan karena konsep tersebut sering dipahami secara terbatas, padahal memiliki signifikansi penting dalam teologi penebusan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah makna teologis konsep Anak Domba Allah serta menunjukkan finalitas karya penebusan Kristus. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode eksegesis biblika melalui analisis teks Yunani, penelusuran latar belakang Perjanjian Lama, dan kajian literatur teologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa istilah Anak Domba Allah menunjuk pada penggenapan korban Paskah dan korban penghapus dosa dalam Perjanjian Lama. Melalui pengorbanan-Nya di salib, Kristus mempersembahkan korban yang sempurna dan final yang secara efektif menghapus dosa manusia dengan cakupan universal. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa finalitas penebusan Kristus memberikan dasar teologis bagi kepastian keselamatan serta memperbarui pemahaman gereja tentang ibadah dan misi. Kata kunci: Anak Domba; Dosa; finalitas; Penebusan; Yesus Kristus.

This article examines the role of digital theology in Christian education by highlighting the tension between the demands of relevance in the digital age and fidelity to theological tradition. This study departs from the research gap that previous studies tended to be descriptive, i.e. only explaining the opportunities and challenges of digitalization without deeply analyzing the theological tension between tradition and digital transformation. This research aims to explore opportunities, challenges, and theological reflective frameworks in the integration of digital technology in Christian education to remain rooted in faith as well as contextual. The method used is a qualitative literature study by analyzing theological literature, Christian education, and current research on church digitization. The results of the study show that digital theology opens up opportunities such as expanding access to education, learning innovation, increasing student participation, and forming virtual faith communities. Nevertheless, fundamental tensions are found in the aspects of authority, presence, community, and faith formation. Theoretically, digital theology is understood as a critical reflective framework that negotiates Christian traditions and digital culture, while practically demanding a pedagogical approach that is critical, adaptive, and remains grounded in Scripture and church traditions. Artikel ini mengkaji peran teologi digital dalam pendidikan Kristen dengan menyoroti ketegangan antara tuntutan relevansi di era digital dan kesetiaan terhadap tradisi teologis. Kajian ini berangkat dari gap penelitian bahwa studi sebelumnya cenderung bersifat deskriptif, yaitu hanya memaparkan peluang dan tantangan digitalisasi tanpa menganalisis secara mendalam ketegangan teologis antara tradisi dan transformasi digital. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi peluang, tantangan, serta kerangka reflektif teologis dalam integrasi teknologi digital pada pendidikan Kristen agar tetap berakar pada iman sekaligus kontekstual. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka kualitatif dengan menganalisis literatur teologi, pendidikan Kristen, dan penelitian terkini tentang digitalisasi gereja. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teologi digital membuka peluang seperti perluasan akses pendidikan, inovasi pembelajaran, peningkatan partisipasi peserta didik, serta pembentukan komunitas iman virtual. Namun demikian, ditemukan ketegangan mendasar pada aspek otoritas, kehadiran, komunitas, dan formasi iman. Secara teoretis, teologi digital dipahami sebagai kerangka reflektif kritis yang menegosiasikan tradisi Kristen dan budaya digital, sementara secara praktis menuntut pendekatan pedagogis yang kritis, adaptif, dan tetap berlandaskan Kitab Suci serta tradisi gereja.

Abstrak: Perkembangan teknologi digital yang pesat telah mengubah lanskap moral generasi muda secara signifikan.

Gereja dipanggil bukan hanya sebagai penjaga moral, tetapi sebagai komunitas transformatif yang membimbing generasi muda untuk hidup secara etis, bertanggung jawab, dan beriman di ruang digital. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa pelayanan gereja yang adaptif dan kontekstual merupakan kunci dalam menghadapi tantangan moral di era digital.

Abstrak: Perkembangan teknologi digital telah mengubah cara Generasi Z berkomunikasi, belajar, membangun relasi, dan memahami kehidupan spiritual. Perubahan ini menjadi tantangan bagi gereja untuk mengembangkan pemuridan yang tidak hanya berfokus pada transfer pengetahuan iman, tetapi juga bersifat kontekstual, relasional, dan transformatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis karakteristik dan tantangan pemuridan Generasi Z di era digital, mengkaji pengaruh budaya digital terhadap pembentukan iman, serta merumuskan model pelayanan gereja yang relevan berdasarkan perspektif teologi praktis. Kontribusi penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya integrasi antara relasi autentik, pendampingan spiritual, pemanfaatan teknologi digital, dan komunitas iman dalam pemuridan Generasi Z. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi kepustakaan (library research) dan analisis teologi praktis dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui kajian literatur. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif-analitis melalui identifikasi, kategorisasi, dan refleksi teologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemuridan Generasi Z membutuhkan pendekatan holistik yang mampu menjawab tantangan budaya instan, individualisme digital, serta kebutuhan akan pengalaman iman yang autentik dan relevan. Abstract: The development of digital technology has changed the way Generation Z communicates, learns, builds relationships, and understands the spiritual life. This change poses a challenge for the church to develop discipleship that is not only focused on the transfer of knowledge of faith, but also contextual, relational, and transformative. This research aims to analyze the characteristics and challenges of Generation Z discipleship in the digital era, examine the influence of digital culture on faith formation, and formulate relevant church service models based on practical theology perspectives. This research contribution emphasizes the importance of integration between authentic relationships, spiritual assistance, the use of digital technology, and faith communities in the discipleship of Generation Z. This research uses a qualitative approach through library research and practical theological analysis with data collection techniques through literature review. The data are analyzed descriptive-analytically through identification, categorization, and theological reflection. The results show that Generation Z's discipleship requires a holistic approach that is able to answer the challenges of instant culture, digital individualism, and the need for authentic and relevant faith experiences.

Abstrak:Perkembangan kecerdasan buatan (Artificial Intelligence/AI) telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan, termasuk praktik kepemimpinan gereja. Pemanfaatan AI menawarkan kemudahan dalam pelayanan tata kelola, tetapi juga memunculkan pertanyaan teologis mengenai posisi hikmat Alkitabiah dalam proses pengambilan keputusan rohani. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara hikmat dan algoritma serta merumuskan model kepemimpinan gereja yang relevan di era AI. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan dan teologis-hermeneutis melalui analisis terhadap teks Alkitab dan berbagai literatur ilmiah mengenai kepemimpinan Kristen, agama digital, dan etika kecerdasan buatan. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif-analitis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa AI dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai instrumen pendukung dalam aspek administrasi, analitis, dan pelayanan tata kelola gereja, tetapi tidak dapat menggantikan hikmat, kebijaksanaan rohani, maupun kepemimpinan yang dipimpin oleh Roh Kudus. Penelitian ini menawarkan model kepemimpinan kolaboratif yang mengintegrasikan hikmat Alkitabiah, literasi digital, refleksi etis, dan pemanfaatan teknologi secara bertanggung jawab. Oleh karena itu, gereja dipanggil untuk memanfaatkan AI sebagai sarana yang mendukung misi pelayanan tanpa mengabaikan nilai-nilai teologis, kasih, dan integritas spiritual yang menjadi dasar kepemimpinan Kristen. Abstract The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes in various aspects of life, including church leadership practices. The use of AI offers convenience in ministry management, but it also raises theological questions about the position of biblical wisdom in the spiritual decision-making process. This research aims to analyze the relationship between wisdom and algorithms and formulate relevant church leadership models in the AI era. The research uses a qualitative method with a literature study and theological-hermeneutical approach through the analysis of biblical texts and various scientific literature on Christian leadership, digital religion, and the ethics of artificial intelligence. Data is analyzed descriptive-analytically through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that AI can be used as a supporting instrument in the administrative, analytical, and service management aspects of the church, but it cannot replace wisdom, spiritual discernment, and leadership led by the Holy Spirit. This research offers a collaborative leadership model that integrates biblical wisdom, digital literacy, ethical reflection, and responsible use of technology. Thus, the church is called to utilize AI as a means that supports the mission of ministry without neglecting the theological values, love, and spiritual integrity that underlie Christian leadership.
