Abstract

The generational gap between parents and children in the digital era presents new challenges in the transmission of Christian values. This study was conducted in response to differences in worldview, communication styles, ways of thinking, and levels of digital competence that may weaken the family’s function as the primary context for faith formation. The aim of this research is to formulate strategies to bridge the parent-child generational gap so that the transmission of Christian values remains relevant and effective in the digital age. This study employs a qualitative method through a literature review of reputable academic sources. The findings propose an integrative strategy that includes strengthening relational communication within the family, optimizing and regulating the use of digital media, as well as providing digital literacy training for parents in order to reduce the knowledge and skill gap with their children. Discipleship, parenting training, and pastoral counseling also emerge as essential components that can be implemented complementarily to support the faith formation process within the family. Overall, the study indicates that transmitting Christian values in the digital era requires creative, dialogical, and contextually grounded approaches, while maintaining collaborative partnership between the family and the church. Through such efforts, Christian values can be passed down in a continuous and meaningful manner across generations.

Abstract

Abstract:Evangelising ethnic groups that have long lived within traditional belief systems requires a contextual approach that is aligned with the culture and values of the communities receiving the Gospel. However, the church often faces challenges in preserving the purity of Christian doctrine when new believers remain strongly connected to ancestral traditions. This phenomenon is also evident among Dayak Meratus Christians in Loksado Village. This study aims to provide a conceptual framework for churches in Loksado and other regions with strong ancestral traditions to develop contextual approaches that help believers avoid syncretism without ignoring valuable cultural heritage. Using a qualitative approach through literature-based research, this study identifies a risk of syncretistic tendencies during the process of embracing Christianity among communities previously shaped by traditional belief systems, which may weaken doctrinal purity and spiritual growth. Therefore, the church must place God and His Word above all human cultural expressions and take concrete measures through contextual biblical teaching, exemplary leadership, holistic pastoral care, and continuous discipleship
