Abstract

This study discusses the role of the church in addressing mental health issues among congregants. It begins by highlighting the growing awareness of mental health struggles within the Christian community and the broader society. Despite this growing concern, many churches remain unprepared to provide adequate pastoral care for individuals experiencing psychological distress. The paper examines theological perspectives and pastoral practices that influence the church’s response to mental health challenges. Using literature review and contextual reflection, the author explores the tension between spiritual assumptions and psychological realities. The study emphasizes the need for the church to cultivate a more empathetic and holistic approach to care. Rather than pathologizing mental illness or relegating it solely to spiritual causes, churches are encouraged to create safe, supportive spaces for healing and restoration. This paper offers a foundational framework for developing a contextual theology of mental health that is both practical and compassionate.

Abstract

Abstract: This article is a research conducted on students at the Anugerah Misi College of Theology (STT) West Nias specifically who took the Pastoral Counseling II class. In this process, students are guided by the theory popularized by Rev. Jaharianson Saragih in his book Psychodelsi (Psycho, Deliverance, Spiritual) carries out direct practice as a counselor for others and also as a counselee or client. By using qualitative research through library research and field research through direct practice, researchers studied and found that many students studying theology still had bitter roots, namely anger towards their parents, specifically towards their father. Through direct practice using the life story method and typology or personality as well as tracing the family tree (genogram), clients discover the roots of the bitterness they experience stems from anger that has been stored for years. After this process, the client is guided to forgive the people who have hurt him. After going through a pastoral counseling process using psychological, deliverance and spiritual approaches, the client is finally free from anger and makes the decision to forgive and get relief. Keywords: Counseling Pastoral, Psichodelsy, anger, forgiveness. Abstrak: Artikel ini merupakan sebuah penelitian yang dilakukan terhadap mahasiswa-mahasiswi di Sekolah Tinggi Teologi (STT) Anugerah Misi Nias Barat secara khusus yang mengikuti kelas Konseling Pastoral II. Pada proses ini mahasiswa dengan mempedomani teori yang dipopulerkan oleh Jaharianson Saragih dalam bukunya Psychodelsi (Psycho, Deliverance, Spiritual) melakukan praktik langsung menjadi konselor bagi sesamanya dan juga sekaligus menjadi konseli atau klien. Dengan menggunakan penelitian kualitatif melalui penelitian kepustakaan (library research) dan penelitian lapangan (field research)melalui praktek secara langsung, peneliti mengkaji dan menemukan bahwa banyak mahasiwa yang belajar teologi masih menyimpan akar pahit yaitu berupa kemarahan terhadap orang tua secara khusus terhadap ayahnya. Melalui praktek langsung dengan menggunakan metode life story dan tipologi atau kepridian serta penelusuran pohon keluarga (genogram), klien menemukan akar pahit yang dialami bersumber dari kemarahan yang tersimpan selama bertahun-tahun. Setelah proses itu, klien dituntun untuk mengampuni orang-orang yang telah menyakiti hatinya. Setelah melalui proses konseling pastoral dengan pendekatan psychologi, deliverance dan spiritual akhirnya klien terbebas dari kemarahan dan mengambil keputusan untuk mengampuni dan mendapatkan kelegaan.

Abstract

This article presents a theological review of Christian spiritual formation on digital campuses shaped by e-learning and hybrid learning. Digitalization has expanded access and efficiency in higher education, but it also risks dehumanizing relationships, eroding silence, and reducing spirituality to formal online routines. The aim of this review is to clarify these risks and to propose a constructive framework for digital spirituality in Christian higher education, with particular attention to the Indonesian context. Using theological literature review combined with phenomenological reflection on recent empirical studies, the article first conceptualizes Christian spirituality in higher education as an integrated way of life grounded in the Triune God, encompassing relational love, intellectual discipleship, moral responsibility, and pastoral care. It then identifies three core challenges of the digital campus: weakened interpersonal presence, hurry-driven spiritual fatigue, and disembodied, ritualistic religiosity. In response, the article develops four key practices: incarnational spirituality in virtual spaces, digital spiritual disciplines, virtual faith communities, and online pastoral accompaniment. Finally, it articulates three institutional roles for the Christian digital campus: a prophetic role that critiques unjust and manipulative uses of technology, a pastoral role that nurtures a healing community for digitally burdened students, and a transformational role that integrates theology, ethics, and technology in curriculum and campus culture. The review concludes that digital campuses can become genuinely formative environments when technology is intentionally ordered toward worship, community, and mission under the lordship of Christ.
