Abstract

Baptism and discipleship are two things that cannot be separated. In the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus, they are intertwined. One of the concepts contained in baptism is union with Christ found in Romans 6:3-6. This is an important theme that believers must understand, especially through discipleship. On the other hand, the author sees the dominance of the Javanese tribe among the Indonesian population. This dominance occurs in the government, economic sectors, and church life. This fact drives this research to actualize contextual discipleship carried out by the Church towards Javanese congregations. One of the concepts of Javanese thought with a common theme of human unity with God is the concept of manunggaling kawulo gusti. Through the literature research method, this concept is explored in depth. This exploration will be seen and interpreted from the baptism perspective in Romans 6:3-6. As a result, there are points of convergence as well as points of difference. The findings obtained will then become material for the actualization of contextual discipleship in Javanese society.

Abstract

The sophistication of digital-based technology and communication has shaped a new culture that fundamentally changes the way humans relate to and understand reality, including in their spiritual lives. The Church, as a community of faith, is challenged to redefine its mission of proclaiming the Gospel to align with the dynamic and complex communication patterns of the digital generation. Unfortunately, many online evangelisation practices remain technical in nature and lack deep theological reflection. Millennials and Gen Z, as digital natives, show an interest in spirituality but feel disconnected from church institutions perceived as irrelevant. This study aims to develop a theology of mission to address the dynamics of digital evangelisation among these younger generations. Through a qualitative approach based on literature review, the conclusion of this study states that digital theology becomes a new foundation for relevant Gospel proclamation in the virtual era, especially in reaching Millennials and Gen Z who live in a digital culture. Online evangelism practices require the development of contextual, ethical, and authentic message-based digital missiology. Therefore, the church needs to reformulate its mission theology as a form of incarnational, dialogical, and transformative witness in the midst of an ever-evolving virtual world.

Abstract

The post-truth era presents serious challenges to evangelism, as truth is increasingly understood subjectively through opinion, emotion and relativism. This shift undermines the authority of the Gospel in the public sphere and prompts the church to rethink its missiological approach in light of the disruption caused by the digital culture. This study aims to reconstruct the evangelism paradigm through a contextual framework of digital mission theology for the post-truth era. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, examining mission theology, digital culture, and the dynamics of post-truth society. The findings indicate that evangelism remains a divine mandate rooted in the truth of the Gospel, yet requires a reflective, communicative, and adaptive approach to digital developments. Furthermore, digital mission theology is viewed as the church’s strategic response to presenting the Christian witness amidst a disruptive culture. The novelty of this article lies in the contextual integration of mission theology and digital approaches in addressing the challenges of the post-truth era.  AbstrakEra post-truth menghadirkan tantangan serius bagi praktik penginjilan karena kebenaran semakin dipahami secara subjektif melalui opini, emosi, dan relativisme. Pergeseran ini melemahkan otoritas Injil dalam ruang publik serta mendorong gereja merefleksikan kembali pendekatan teologi misi yang relevan dengan disrupsi budaya digital. Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi paradigma penginjilan melalui kerangka teologi misi digital yang kontekstual terhadap era post-truth. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur melalui kajian teologi misi, budaya digital, dan dinamika masyarakat post-truth. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penginjilan tetap merupakan mandat Ilahi yang berakar pada kebenaran Injil, namun memerlukan pendekatan yang reflektif, komunikatif, dan adaptif terhadap perkembangan digital. Selain itu, teologi misi digital dipandang sebagai respons strategis gereja dalam menghadirkan kesaksian iman Kristen di tengah budaya disruptif. Kebaruan artikel ini terletak pada integrasi teologi misi dan pendekatan digital secara kontekstual dalam menghadapi tantangan era post-truth. Kata kunci: Penginjilan, Post-truth, Teologi misi digital, Disrupsi budaya

Abstract

The digital age is characterised by a constant and massive flow of information, causing humans to experience overstimulation that affects various aspects of life, including spirituality, faith, and mental health. Christianity faces difficulties in maintaining the depth of faith, as spiritual practices that should be contemplative and reflective are displaced by instant culture and religious digitalisation, or addiction to the internet and gadgets. Spirituality, which was once built on a deep relationship with God, now tends to be shallow and routine, lacking focus. The purpose of this study is to analyze the urgency of the church's role in shaping a genuine Christian spirituality amidst digital overstimulation. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with a literature review approach. The study concluded that digital overstimulation contributes to an unconscious spiritual crisis, necessitating an understanding of the nature of digital overstimulation and the disorientation of Christian spirituality. Likewise, Christian mental health and spirituality are situated between the depth of tradition and the challenges of the digital context. Therefore, the church's role in faith formation in an era of overstimulation is crucial for building a contextual and contemplative model of spirituality. Contextual Christian spirituality must guide people to live consciously, be fully present before God, and remain firmly rooted in the Christian faith.AbstrakEra digital ditandai oleh deras dan masifnya arus informasi yang terus-menerus, menyebabkan manusia mengalami overstimulus sehingga memengaruhi berbagai aspek kehidupan, termasuk spiritualitas, iman dan kesehatan mental. Kekristenan menghadapi kesulitan mempertahankan kedalaman iman, karena praktik-praktik rohani yang seharusnya kontemplatif dan reflektif tergeser oleh budaya instan dan digitalisasi religius ataupun kecanduan internet maupun gadget. Spiritualitas yang dulunya dibangun dalam relasi mendalam dengan Allah kini cenderung dangkal dan rutinitas yang tidak fokus. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis urgensi peran gereja dalam membentuk spiritualitas Kristen yang nyata di tengah kondisi overstimulus digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa overstimulus digital berkontribusi terhadap krisis spiritual yang tidak disadari dan karenanya perlu memahami hakikat overstimulus digital dan disorientasi spiritualitas Kristen. Demikian pula dengan kesehatan mental dan spiritualitas Kristen yang berada diantara kedalaman tradisi dan tantangan konteks digital. Oleh karena itu, peran gereja dalam pembentukan iman di era overstimulus menjadi sangat penting untuk membangun model spiritualitas kontekstual dan kontemplatif. Spiritualitas Kristen yang kontekstual harus menuntun umat untuk hidup secara sadar, hadir secara utuh di hadapan Allah, serta tetap berakar kuat dalam iman Kristen.

Abstract

The phenomenon of contemporary church leadership transformation shows a shift from a hierarchical leadership pattern to a more participatory, collaborative, and contextual model, in line with the demands of globalisation, technological advances, and the increasingly complex socio-cultural dynamics of congregations. This study aims to explore how the integration of theology and Christian values can strengthen church missiology in the context of modern leadership. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature study, which concludes that Christian leadership theory remains relevant in the contemporary context when rooted in Christian values as an ethical and spiritual foundation. The transformation of church leadership structures in the digital age requires an adaptive and collaborative approach without neglecting theological principles. The integration of theology and Christian values in missiological strategies strengthens the direction of church ministry so that it remains contextual, sustainable, and oriented towards authentic faith formation and social impact. Whereby, the transformation of contemporary church leadership not only requires adaptation to external changes, but must also maintain theological foundations and Christian values as the main footing in missiology. AbstrakFenomena transformasi kepemimpinan gereja kontemporer menunjukkan adanya pergeseran pola kepemimpinan yang sebelumnya bersifat hierarkis menuju model yang lebih partisipatif, kolaboratif, dan kontekstual, seiring dengan tuntutan globalisasi, kemajuan teknologi, serta dinamika sosial budaya jemaat yang semakin kompleks. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana integrasi teologi dan nilai-nilai Kristen dapat memperkuat misiologi gereja dalam konteks kepemimpinan modern. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif melalui studi literatur dapat disimpulkan bahwa teori kepemimpinan Kristen tetap relevan dalam konteks kontemporer ketika berakar pada nilai-nilai Kristen sebagai fondasi etis dan spiritual. Transformasi struktur kepemimpinan gereja di era digital menuntut pendekatan adaptif dan kolaboratif tanpa mengabaikan prinsip teologis. Integrasi teologi dan nilai Kristen dalam strategi misiologi memperkuat arah pelayanan gereja agar tetap kontekstual, berkelanjutan, serta berorientasi pada pembentukan iman dan dampak sosial yang autentik. Dimana, transformasi kepemimpinan gereja kontemporer tidak hanya memerlukan adaptasi terhadap perubahan eksternal, tetapi juga harus mempertahankan fondasi teologi dan nilai Kristen sebagai pijakan utama dalam misiologi.
