Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the relevance of pastoral approach in children's faith education in the digital era. The issue addressed is how the church and family can nurture children's faith amidst the challenges of digital technology development, which influences how children learn, interact, and understand spiritual values. The research method used is qualitative with a literature review approach, analyzing various books and journals relevant to the research topic. The findings show that the pastoral approach plays an important role in shaping children's faith through contextual pastoral guidance, open dialogue, and wise utilization of digital media. It also emphasizes that faith education for children should not only focus on doctrinal teaching but also on pastoral relationships that support holistic faith growth. Therefore, the pastoral approach remains relevant in children's faith education in the digital age because it helps the church and family address technological challenges while supporting children's spiritual development comprehensively.

Abstract

This article presents a qualitative, dialogical exploration of Spirit-led presence as the foundational principle for pastoral crisis counseling. Drawing from an in-depth interview with counselor-educator Paul F. Davis, the study examines the integration of theological insight, relational attunement, and ethical discernment in ministry to individuals experiencing acute emotional, spiritual, and situational distress. Moving beyond prescriptive technique, the analysis foregrounds attentive presence, spiritual discernment, and non-coercive care as central to effective pastoral response. The dialogical format itself mirrors the unfolding, responsive nature of crisis encounters. Thematic findings highlight the transformative power of presence to facilitate meaningful interventions, the critical role of emotional and spiritual attunement, and the ethical necessity of boundaries and referral. Aimed at pastors, Christian counselors, and ministry leaders particularly within the Indonesian context this article offers reflective, practitioner-based wisdom to inform a relationally grounded, biblically aligned approach to crisis care that honors the integrity of both counselor and counselee.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in managing anger among three female boarding students at the Jaffray School of Philosophy and Theology, Makassar. Using a qualitative descriptive design with a case study approach, data were collected through five structured counseling sessions, each lasting 60 minutes, in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with verification. Findings indicated that REBT intervention through the ABCDE framework enabled participants to identify and challenge irrational beliefs that trigger maladaptive anger responses. Cognitive restructuring resulted in decreased anger intensity, improved emotion regulation, and more constructive interpersonal interactions within the boarding environment. This study concluded that REBT serves as an effective cognitive-behavioral intervention to improve adaptive emotion management among female boarding students.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana nilai budaya Sipamandaq dapat diinternalisasikan dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) sebagai upaya membentuk karakter Kristiani siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi literatur, dengan memanfaatkan berbagai sumber seperti buku, jurnal, dan hasil penelitian sebelumnya yang relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai dalam Sipamandaq, seperti kebersamaan, kepedulian, dan sikap saling menghargai, memiliki keselarasan dengan nilai-nilai Kristiani dan dapat diterapkan dalam pembelajaran PAK melalui pendekatan kontekstual. Penerapan ini membantu siswa untuk lebih memahami serta mempraktikkan sikap saling mengasihi dan hidup dalam kebersamaan. Dengan demikian, pengintegrasian nilai budaya lokal dalam pembelajaran PAK dapat mendukung pembentukan karakter Kristiani siswa sekaligus membuat pembelajaran menjadi lebih bermakna.
