Abstract

This study explores the impact of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) on the spiritual well- being of young Christians and examines how Christian theological values offer aunique and sustainable solution. FOMO, fueled by constant social media exposure, often results in anxiety, dissatisfaction, and a reliance on external validation. The research employs a qualitative literature review approach, drawing insights from psychology, sociology, and Christian theology. The findings highlight the importance of embracing Christian principles such as contentment and inner peace in Christ to address the psychological and spiritual effects of FOMO. By prioritizing a relationship with God over social recognition, individuals can experience a stable sense of fulfillment that is not contingent on fluctuating societal standards. The study also underscores the critical role of family and the church in imparting these values through discipleship and practical guidance, thereby helping young Christians build resilience against the pressures of digital culture.
