Abstract

Church music is not merely an artistic component of Christian worship but also has the potential to function as a pedagogical medium that supports children's holistic development. This study aims to systematically examine the role of church music pedagogy in children's holistic intelligence and social inclusivity, with church music and developmental psychology as the primary perspectives and Christian Religious Education (CRE) as a supporting perspective. A systematic narrative review approach was employed to analyze six scholarly articles available in the research corpus. The analysis focused on research objectives, learning contexts, musical activities, developmental outcomes, spiritual dimensions, and aspects of social inclusion. The synthesis indicates that church music pedagogy contributes to at least five interconnected developmental domains: cognitive, emotional, psychomotor, social, and spiritual development. Church music training has been associated with improved memory, concentration, problem-solving, language proficiency, motor skills, emotional regulation, empathy, independence, and self-confidence. Among children with special needs, musical activities are also associated with improved concentration, motor coordination, social awareness, self-confidence, and opportunities to participate in more inclusive learning environments. From a church-pedagogy perspective, music learning extends beyond technical mastery toward participation, ministry, character formation, and lived faith. CRE further strengthens these dimensions by using music and song as media for connecting religious knowledge, emotional experience, creativity, and action. Thus, church music pedagogy may be understood as an educational space that enables children to develop holistically while expanding their participation within the church community. Nevertheless, the available evidence remains dominated by qualitative research and literature studies, requiring further longitudinal empirical and pedagogical evaluation.

Abstract

This study examines the contribution of fathers' Big Five Personality traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Emotional Stability), as perceived by their children, to the faith-learning motivation of Christian theology students in Indonesia. Using a quantitative correlational cross-sectional design, data were collected from 355 theology students (semesters 2-8) across 11 Christian theological institutions through an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results show that the five personality dimensions simultaneously contribute significantly to faith-learning motivation, F(5, 349) = 3.197, p = .008, though the effect size is small (R2 = .044). Among the partial contributions, only Openness shows a significant positive contribution (B = 0.236, p = .002). Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Emotional Stability show no significant contribution, while Extraversion shows a significant negative contribution that contradicts the hypothesized direction, likely reflecting a statistical suppression effect from high intercorrelation among the Big Five dimensions rather than a substantive effect. These findings suggest that fathers' openness, reflected in dialogical and reflective engagement, is the personality dimension most relevant to strengthening children's faith-learning motivation, offering a basis for families, churches, and theological institutions to design more dialogical and reflective faith formation strategies.

Abstract

Leadership transition is a critical yet vulnerable phase in church governance, often causing internal friction due to unstructured succession planning. While many studies examine Pauline leadership models, empirical investigations into how local churches navigate the socio-psychological and structural resistance of successors remain limited. This study aims to analyze the biblical leadership regeneration model from the Apostle Paul to Timothy in the Pastoral Epistles and formulate its contextual implications for preparing future pastoral leaders at GBIS Yerusalem Baru Surabaya. Employing a descriptive qualitative design with a biblical-theological approach, this study synthesizes library research with empirical insights from structured interviews with the senior pastoral leadership. The results demonstrate that Paul’s mentoring framework rests upon four pillars: modeling character, delegating strategic responsibilities, empowering theological resilience, and preserving doctrinal continuity. Empirically, GBIS Yerusalem Baru has initiated early-stage succession through prayer and structural mentoring, though it actively confronts complex challenges such as candidate unreadiness and motivational shifts. This research offers a unique contribution (novelty) by conceptualizing difficult candidates not as institutional failures, but as providential instruments for refining the senior pastor’s leadership capacity, underpinned by Proverbs 27:17. Ultimately, this study establishes five comprehensive criteria for future pastoral successors: profound godliness, transparent pastoral communication, unwavering task commitment, submissiveness to divine sovereignty, and collaborative synergy.

Abstract

This article explores the strategic role of philosophy, not as a rival or absolute foundation of Christian theology, but as an ancilla theologiae (servant of theology) serving as a tool of critical analysis in the contemporary context. Through a qualitative-analytical approach to the development of 20th- and 21st-century theology, this study demonstrates that philosophy—specifically phenomenology, hermeneutics, and analytical philosophy—has enabled theology to formulate doctrine more precisely, articulate faith in language relevant to secular culture, and conduct ideological critiques of doctrinal distortions. This article argues that a healthy integration of philosophy and theology must remain centered on biblical revelation while recognizing philosophy's methodological autonomy. The implications of this review are significant for discourses on systematic theology, apologetics, and Christian ethics in Indonesia, which frequently grapple with the challenges of pluralism, postmodernity, and the crisis of meaning. This study concludes that philosophy is the "glasses" necessary for theology to see reality more clearly without losing focus on its primary object, namely, God who reveals himself in Christ.
