Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of online pastoral counseling in addressing anxiety and depression among church youth within the context of digital life and contemporary psychosocial challenges. Online pastoral counseling is conceptualized as a contextual practice of pastoral theology that integrates Christian faith values with digital communication technologies. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study analyzes the experiences of church youth who participated in online pastoral counseling as well as the perspectives of pastoral counselors involved in the mentoring process. The findings indicate that online pastoral counseling contributes significantly to helping youth manage anxiety and depression through empathetic, reflective, and Christ-centered guidance. Key factors supporting its effectiveness include accessibility, a sense of psychological safety, and continuity of pastoral relationships. Furthermore, the study highlights the complementary role of digital pastoral practices and digital faith literacy as meaningful spaces for human–divine encounters. The study underscores the importance of pastoral ethics, counselor competence, and the integration of authentic spirituality to ensure that online pastoral counseling remains theologically sound and pastorally responsible.

Abstract

Amid the growing individualization of faith in contemporary church practice, the formative effectiveness of small-group fellowship is increasingly questioned and remains underexplored through empirical inquiry. This study critically examines the ICARE Fellowship as a relational discipleship model and its impact on congregational faith quality at the International Full Gospel Fellowship (IFGF) Ungaran. Employing a quantitative correlational design with 40 active participants, the study analyzes levels of fellowship participation, faith quality, and the functional relationship between the two using Pearson correlation and linear regression. The findings reveal a very strong and statistically significant positive relationship, with participation in ICARE Fellowship accounting for more than two-thirds of the variance in congregational faith quality. These results challenge individualistic paradigms of spiritual formation and affirm that relational, community-based discipleship constitutes a theologically grounded and empirically validated locus for sustainable faith development within contemporary Christian communities.

Abstract

Sidang Yerusalem (Kis. 15:6-11) menyelesaikan perselisihan penting mengenai apakah orang percaya non-Yahudi harus tunduk pada Taurat dan sunat untuk masuk ke dalam komunitas perjanjian. Petrus menegaskan bahwa Allah menyucikan hati mereka melalui iman dan mencurahkan Roh Kudus tanpa prasyarat ritual. Menggunakan pendekatan eksegesis historis-kritis yang dipadukan dengan teologi misi kontekstual, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi implikasi misional yang selama ini belum banyak digali. Argumen Petrus bertumpu pada tiga langkah teologis utama: preseden pneumatologis melalui pencurahan Roh Kudus, deklarasi soteriologis mengenai keselamatan semata-mata oleh kasih karunia melalui iman, serta mandat eklesiologis untuk membentuk komunitas perjanjian lintas etnis. Ketiga langkah ini membangun paradigma misi inklusif yang berakar kuat pada missio Dei, bukan sekadar strategi institusional. Keputusan ini menjadi model normatif bagi gereja dalam konteks masyarakat plural seperti Indonesia kontemporer, di mana Injil wajib dikontekstualisasikan tanpa menuntut asimilasi budaya.

Abstract

This article examines how preaching practices are evolving alongside the rapid expansion of social media. Rather than merely shifting platforms, preaching today is undergoing deeper changes in how messages are structured, communicated, and received by audiences. While many previous studies have focused on technological or communicative aspects, this paper attempts to bring those changes into a more integrated theological-homiletical reflection. Using a qualitative literature-based approach, this study identifies both the emerging challenges and the new opportunities within digital preaching practices. The findings indicate that adapting to digital media is not simply a matter of technical adjustment. It requires a rethinking of homiletical methods so that theological depth can be maintained while still engaging meaningfully with digital culture. This study, therefore, offers a more integrative perspective on preaching in the digital era.

Abstract

Indonesian adolescents spend an average of 8.8 hours per day online (APJII, 2024), driving rising anxiety, depression, cyberbullying, and identity crises. Research on adolescent digital mental health has concentrated on psychological interventions and platform regulation, while overlooking the strategic role of Christian Religious Education (CRE) as a system for holistic mental health formation. This study analyses CRE's contribution to adolescent mental health in the digital era through three mechanisms: identity formation grounded in theological values, spiritual resilience building, and self-control development. The method combines a descriptive qualitative design with library research and semi-structured interviews with 12 informants (4 CRE teachers, 5 adolescents, 3 parents). Findings show that CRE implemented integratively through family-school-church collaboration builds measurable and consistent psychological resilience in adolescents.
