Abstract

The corruption crisis that afflicts Indonesian society is not merely a legal or governmental issue, but also reflects a profound spiritual crisis. This article examines the integration between spiritual leadership and moral accountability as a biblical response to the phenomenon of corruption. Employing a qualitative approach through theological literature study, the research interprets 1 Samuel 2:12–36 to trace the roots of leadership failure in the sons of Eli as an example of moral deviation and the loss of spiritual responsibility. The findings indicate that corruption arises from the disintegration between faith and morality, as well as the misuse of authority that ought to be oriented toward service. This study reveals that genuine spiritual leadership, rooted in the fear of the Lord and biblical integrity, stands as the antithesis of corrupt practices. The implications highlight the central role of the church and Christian educational institutions in shaping accountable leadership through character formation and transformative spirituality.

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the postmodern era has brought significant implications for human life, particularly in social, ethical, and theological dimensions. One major challenge emerging within digital spaces is the dissemination of doctrinal deviations, including the reduction of Scripture to a mere moral guide, interpretations of salvation that emphasize human effort apart from grace, the relativization of biblical authority as one source of truth among many competing narratives, and the blending of Christian faith with popular spirituality and postmodern ideologies. This article examines the use of AI in the development of digital apologetics by drawing on the apologetic strategy of the Apostle Paul in Athens as recorded in Acts 17:16–34. Employing a hermeneutical approach and contextual theology, this study demonstrates that Paul’s emphasis on rational dialogue, cultural sensitivity, and clear theological proclamation provides a conceptual model for the church in addressing contemporary digital challenges. While AI operates through the aggregation of diverse sources and narratives and thus risks equating Scripture with personal experience, popular culture, and non-Christian spirituality as equal authorities, it can also serve to strengthen faith formation and expand the public witness of the Gospel when grounded in divine revelation and guided by the Holy Spirit. Consequently, digital apologetics in the postmodern era is not merely a reactive defense of faith but a transformative practice that affirms God’s presence as the ultimate source of wisdom and truth in a digitalized world.

Abstract

This study analyzes the narrative of the healing of a man born blind in John 9:1–41, focusing on its implications for the church’s mission in developing an inclusive paradigm toward persons with disabilities. In many religious and social traditions, disability has often been associated with sin or a curse, which has led to stigma and exclusion. In contrast, the Johannine narrative presents Jesus rejecting such assumptions, restoring the man’s sight, and reinstating his dignity as a member of the community. Using a qualitative hermeneutical and narrative-critical approach, supported by literature from biblical commentaries, journals, and books, this paper argues that Jesus’ action was not merely a miraculous healing but also a theological statement that dismantles social stigma, affirms the value of every individual before God, and models a holistic church mission. The study concludes that the contemporary church must move beyond mere charitable aid toward unconditional acceptance, restoration of dignity, and empowerment of persons with disabilities, thereby creating an inclusive and transformative faith community

Abstract

Patchouli oil distillation activities in Lansot Village, Tomohon City, have generated serious ecological problems, including water pollution caused by the disposal of distillation waste near residential wells, air pollution from fuel combustion, and machine noise that disturbs public health and comfort. These conditions reflect low ecological awareness and the absence of adequate waste-management regulations and technology. This study aims to develop an ecotheological perspective for patchouli farmers in sustainable waste management based on the concepts of relational ontology and theocentric stewardship by Jorgenson and Padgett. Using a qualitative case-study approach, data were collected through field observation and in-depth interviews with farmers, affected residents, and local government. The findings show that waste problems are not merely technical but rooted in limited ecological education and social tensions reinforced by close kinship ties, which discourage public protest. The study concludes that integrating Christian faith values through ecological discipleship and collaboration between church, government, and farming communities can enable just, participatory, and sustainable waste management.

Abstract

This study discusses the pastoral counseling model in the GKST industrial area. Industrialization in the GKST area, particularly in Morowali and North Morowali, has caused profound social disruption, putting pressure on workers. As a result, cases of suicide and mental health disorders among workers have increased. Pastoral counseling provided by churches, particularly pastors, still does not reach enough workers. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection through in-depth interviews with pastors and related document studies. The results of the study identify three main realities: dependence on face-to-face counseling models, a shift in relationship patterns from agrarian to industrial, and a weakening of communal togetherness. As a solution, this study offers a networked relational support model, which integrates a hybrid approach (online and offline), empowers congregations as “Supporting Friends,” and applies the principles of Trauma-Informed Care. This model transforms the role of pastors from sole responsible parties to network facilitators, enabling churches to function as safe spaces and recovery networks that are more adaptive, far-reaching, and relevant in this era of disruption.
