Abstract

Depression is a common and serious mental health disorder that affects individuals across age, gender, and social boundaries. This study investigates efforts to prevent depression from the perspective of psychological benefits, using a survey method with a sample of 25 individuals aged 17–50 who have experienced depression. The research employs a multidisciplinary psychological framework including cognitive-behavioral theory, social psychology, and personality psychology to understand the root causes and design preventive strategies. The findings emphasize the effectiveness of developing adaptive coping skills, fostering social support systems, and enhancing public awareness through mental health education. Additionally, online-based psychological interventions such as internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) are shown to provide flexible and accessible support. A distinctive feature of this research is the integration of Christian faith-based practices—such as prayer, scripture reflection, and faith community engagement—as complementary tools to psychological approaches. These spiritual dimensions strengthen individuals' emotional and moral resilience, contributing to more effective depression prevention. The results also highlight that social factors are the dominant cause of depression (59%), followed by biological, psychological, and economic factors. The study recommends tailored preventive interventions that consider individual personality types, social context, and spiritual needs. Implications of this research support a holistic model for mental health prevention and call for further exploration into the interplay between psychological and spiritual resilience frameworks in mitigating depression.

Abstract

LGBTQ+ has become a phenomenon and polemic, even with a fairly massive campaign they claim LGBTQ+ as a lifestyle. In the past, this activity was carried out in secret and now it is done openly. The significant development from year to year by this community cannot be separated from the support of the state that legalizes same-sex marriage, until now there have been at least 38 countries. (Liputan6.com, January 24, 2025). Churches in 38 countries have partly legalized same-sex marriage and can perform marriage blessings by priests. With the phenomenon of LGBTQ+ behavior, this article presents a theological view of the LGBTQ+ phenomenon. To anticipate the congregation from the influence of this group, the church needs to be present to provide education about LGBTQ+ biblically so that the congregation has a strong faith and is not influenced by this deviant movement. The author understands that there are already many articles that discuss LGBTQ+ theologically, but those that discuss education for the congregation specifically do not exist or are still limited. The research method used is a literature study of biblical exegesis, especially regarding Imago Dei and Creation Theology and the need for education, supplemented by the opinions of theologians, commentaries, journal studies, books, and other literature. The author found that LGBTQ+ behavior is contrary to the Bible, so it is important to have an educational pattern for the congregation with comprehensive materials and methods adjusted to the age level of the congregation so that education is effective.
