The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the educational landscape, influencing how students learn, communicate, access information, and navigate life's challenges. These changes necessitate an educational approach that addresses not only academic proficiency but also students' emotional intelligence and spirituality. This article analyzes the role of Christian Guidance and Counseling in fostering emotional intelligence and strengthening student spirituality in the AI ​​era. The study employs a qualitative method based on a literature review, examining relevant books, scholarly journals, and research findings. The analysis reveals that Christian Guidance and Counseling can contribute through personal mentoring, the development of emotional management skills, the strengthening of interpersonal relationships, Christian-value-based digital literacy, biblical reflection, the cultivation of spiritual disciplines, and guidance in ethical decision-making. Such support enables students to utilize AI wisely without compromising their humanity, moral responsibility, or relationship with God. Consequently, Christian Guidance and Counseling plays a vital role in shaping emotionally and spiritually mature students amidst rapid technological advancement.
