Abstract

This study examines the transformation of leader character as a key factor in achieving faith maturity within JKI The Rock. Grounded in 2 Timothy 2:2, the research explores how the chain discipleship (mentoring) model contributes to spiritual growth, leadership quality, and the continuity of the church’s mission. A qualitative methodology was employed, using an exegetical approach combined with an organizational case study. The findings reveal that faith maturity is not developed individually but through a continuous process of mentoring, where values, spiritual integrity, and leadership character are transmitted from proven leaders to future generations of faithful leaders. This process strengthens spiritual stability and prepares leaders who are capable of carrying out ministry responsibilities effectively. The study concludes that JKI The Rock needs a structured leadership development system that prioritizes both faithfulness and competence. Such a system is essential to ensure sustainable leadership regeneration and the long-term effectiveness of the church’s mission and ministry.

Abstract

Technological developments have brought significant changes to various aspects of human life, including church life. These changes also impact intergenerational relationships within the congregation. This paper aims to examine the challenges faced by church leaders at GEKISIA Depok in serving Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z, and to examine the relevance of the theological principle of Romans 12:2 in addressing these challenges. Ultimately, the author observes that differences in generational characteristics influence communication patterns, ministry models, and congregational expectations of church leadership. Therefore, church leaders in the digital age are required to be adaptive, transformative, and remain rooted in biblical values. Romans 12:2 serves as an important theological foundation for Christian leaders to experience a renewed mindset so they can serve according to God's will without being influenced by worldly patterns. Furthermore, the challenge of cross-generational leadership is not merely practical in nature, but also theological. Each generation brings different experiences, values, and perspectives in understanding faith and spirituality. Generation X tends to value institutional stability and loyalty, while Millennials are more oriented toward authentic experience and community. Generation Z, having grown up entirely in the digital age, communicates and expresses faith in ways that differ greatly from previous generations. In this context, church leaders are called to become bridges between generations, rather than simply following trends or rigidly preserving tradition.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine how guidance and counseling instructors may help children in junior high get over their anxiety about speaking out in class. Students' lack of confidence and engagement in class might be exacerbated by the widespread problem of their fear of asking questions. In order to delve further into the issue, this study used a descriptive technique based on qualitative research. Students and instructors of guidance and counseling participated in interviews and observations to compile the data. The results highlight the important role that counseling and guidance instructors play in assisting students in coping with anxiety. Counseling sessions with individuals, group guidance exercises, and making an attempt to establish a welcoming classroom setting all contribute to this goal. Teachers also use excellent communication tactics and motivating initiatives to help pupils feel more comfortable expressing themselves. A more favorable classroom environment may also be achieved via collaboration between topic teachers and counseling instructors. Ultimately, the research demonstrates that students' anxiety of asking questions may be successfully reduced via the use of suitable counseling and guiding interventions. Consequently, students' self-esteem, classroom engagement, and academic performance are all much improved when guidance and counseling instructors are present.

Abstract

The need for affection and belonging is an important aspect in the social and emotional development of students, especially at the Junior High School (SMP) level, where students are in the early adolescent phase characterized by a strong need for acceptance and recognition in the social environment. However, not all students are able to optimally fulfill these needs, so appropriate services are needed to assist them. This study aims to examine the application of group guidance in meeting the needs for affection and belonging in junior high school students. The study used a qualitative approach with a literature review method through the collection and analysis of various relevant literature sources. The results of the study indicate that group guidance is effective in providing positive social experiences for students, such as feeling accepted, appreciated, and being able to develop social and emotional skills, including empathy, cooperation, and self-confidence. Through group dynamics, students can interact, share experiences, and build better relationships with peers. The implications of this study indicate that group guidance needs to be implemented optimally and continuously as a strategic effort to support the fulfillment of the needs for affection and belonging and improve the psychological well-being of students in the school environment.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of time management-based group guidance services in reducing time-disciplined behavior among vocational high school students. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving several students with a history of tardiness and undisciplined time management at school. Data were collected through participant observation, structured in-depth interviews, and documentation of time planning and daily activity diaries during the group guidance sessions. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions using thematic analysis techniques. The results indicate that time management-based group guidance positively impacts students' awareness of the importance of time discipline, changes in habitual patterns, and improves their ability to plan and organize daily activities. Students reported that time management techniques, the use of daily schedules, and weekly reflections helped them reduce tardiness and procrastination. Some students also experienced increased regularity in completing schoolwork and active participation in extracurricular activities. The conclusions of this study indicate that time management-based group guidance is an effective service in the vocational high school context for reducing time-disciplined behavior if it is delivered systematically, sustainably, and takes into account student characteristics. The practical implication for guidance and counseling services is the need to develop a time management group guidance module based on the local context of schools and students.

Abstract

The expression “God regretted” in Genesis 6:7 is one of the most theologically problematic statements in the Old Testament, as it seems to contradict the classical doctrine of God’s immutability. This study aims to examine the meaning of this expression through an exegetical approach, emphasizing the analysis of the Hebrew text and the lexical use of the word nāḥam. The method employed is qualitative-descriptive with a historical-grammatical and biblical-theological approach. The primary data are derived from the Hebrew text in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and supported by lexical sources. The results indicate that the word nāḥam in Genesis 6:7 does not imply regret in the sense of wrongdoing, but rather refers to divine sorrow over the moral corruption of humanity. The expression represents a form of anthropomorphism used to depict the relationship between God and humans in language comprehensible to human beings. From an Old Testament theological perspective, this text affirms that God is relational and active in history, without compromising the consistency of His character. Therefore, the “regret of God” does not contradict the doctrine of divine immutability, but rather enriches the understanding of His involvement in human life.

Abstract

One of the most common problems faced by students is academic procrastination. This issue often leads to increased stress, poor academic performance, and difficulties in self-control. This study aims to examine academic procrastination behavior and evaluate the Solution Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC) approach as an alternative intervention. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach in the form of a literature study. Data were obtained from various relevant scientific sources, including national and international journals, reference books, and previous research findings published within the last ten years. The data were analyzed using a content analysis technique by organizing the information into several main themes, including the factors causing academic procrastination, its impact on students, and the effectiveness of SFBC implementation. The findings indicate that academic procrastination is influenced by internal factors, such as low learning motivation, weak self-control, and poor time management skills. External factors also include an unconducive learning environment and a lack of social support. In addition, the results show that the SFBC technique helps students reduce task-delay behavior by setting clear goals, strengthening self-potential, and developing realistic solution plans. Therefore, SFBC can be considered a relevant and effective approach in guidance and counseling services to address academic procrastination.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze group counseling services using the behavioral contract technique in reducing students' procrastination behavior at the junior high school level. Academic procrastination is a common problem among students, characterized by delaying task completion, lack of study discipline, and poor time management skills. This research employs a qualitative approach with a library research method by examining various relevant sources such as books, scientific journals, and articles. The data analysis technique used is content analysis to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the concept and implementation of the behavioral contract technique in group counseling. The results of the study indicate that group counseling services are effective in helping students understand and overcome procrastination behavior through supportive group dynamics. The application of the behavioral contract technique is proven to enhance students’ commitment, discipline, and responsibility in completing academic tasks. In addition, the reinforcement system within the behavioral contract encourages students to maintain positive behavior consistently. Therefore, group counseling with the behavioral contract technique can be considered an effective strategy to reduce students' academic procrastination at the junior high school level.
