The Role of Parents in Children's Christian Faith Education Through the Tandak Timang Tradition in Batu Badinding Village
The Tandak Timang tradition is an oral cultural heritage of the Dayak Ngaju community which contains moral, spiritual, and character education values that are relevant to the development of Christian children's faith. This study aims to describe the role of parents in children's Christian faith education through the tradition of Tandak Timang in Batu Badinging Village. The research approach used is qualitative descriptive with interview, observation, and documentation techniques. The results of the study show that parents play an important role as heirs of cultural values, interpreters of spiritual meaning, exemplars of faith, and preservers of traditions that are loaded with the values of love, loyalty, responsibility, and respect for ancestors. Through the active involvement of parents, Tandak Timang functions not only as a cultural expression, but also as an effective means of forming children's character and spirituality in the light of Christian teachings. Thus, the integration between faith and culture through the role of parents strengthens the identity of Dayak Ngaju faith and culture in the midst of modernity.

The Role of Christian Education in Reducing the Failure of Local Wisdom-based Christian Leadership Ethics
This article explores the role of Christian education in mitigating ethical failures in Christian leadership, using a qualitative literature review approach. Ethical failures in Christian leadership have become a significant concern, as they undermine the integrity and credibility of church leaders, impacting both congregations and society. The paper examines scriptural principles and theological perspectives that shape ethical leadership, emphasizing the importance of character, integrity, and accountability as essential components of Christian leadership. Key passages from the Bible, such as 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9, are analyzed to highlight the ethical expectations for church leaders. Furthermore, the study delves into how Christian education plays a transformative role in shaping the moral and ethical development of leaders, through the integration of theology, ethics, and practical leadership skills. The findings suggest that Christian education provides a foundation for character formation, spiritual growth, and the cultivation of godly leadership practices. By fostering an environment of accountability and ethical training, Christian education can help prevent ethical lapses in leadership and contribute to the restoration of moral integrity in church leadership.
Integration of Christian Values with Local Wisdom in Digital Learning Media: Literature Review
This research aims to examine the integration of Christian values with local wisdom through digital learning media within the context of Christian Religious Education (CRE). The problem addressed is the lack of learning media that contextually and relevantly accommodates Christian values and local culture in line with the development of digital technology. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a library research approach through a systematic review of relevant academic literature. The novelty of this research lies in the design of a conceptual model for digital media that combines Christian faith values such as love, justice, and service with local cultural elements like folklore, regional songs, and traditional symbols. The research findings indicate that this integration can enhance the relevance, participation, and understanding of Christian teachings among students, while simultaneously strengthening their cultural identity. These findings offer a theoretical contribution to the development of inculturation-based CRE literature and a practical contribution for Christian educators in the digital age.
Tongkonan as a Living Curriculum: Intergenerational Transmission of Torajan Cultural Knowledge through Spatial and Ritual Practices
A key example of how cultural spaces transmit indigenous knowledge is the concept of traditional house of the Toraja people, the tongkonan. To comprehend the educational and cultural role of the tongkonan, this research explores its structural and symbolic aspects, rituals, and communal practices. Using a qualitative and ethnographic approach, the data were collected from participant observation, interviews and interdisciplinary analysis. Results illuminate that architectural design and symbolic carving of the tongkonan serves as pedagogical tools, and rituals and intergenerational exchanges collectively contribute to cultural continuity and communal identity. Yet modernization and globalization pose significant threats to the longevity of these practices, thus requiring creative adaptations, including digital documentation, community and social driven initiatives, and sustainable tourism models. These efforts not only protect Torajan cultural resources but also provide lessons for other indigenous people confronting similar predicaments. This research emphasizes the significance of the combination of traditional knowledge and contemporary practice to offer a crucial to the survival of cultures in a modern world.
Christian Leadership Education for Youth through Social Organizational Communication Styles Based on Banyuwangi’s Local Culture in the Post-Pandemic
This study explored Christian leadership education for youth through organizational communication styles within a social institution, specifically, a church-based youth organization in Banyuwangi, Indonesia. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted social interactions, leading to a significant decline in youth participation. However, post-pandemic observations revealed a notable increase in engagement among the youth members of GKT (Gereja Kristen Tuhan) Banyuwangi. This shift raised important questions about the role of leadership communication in revitalizing youth involvement. This study used a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through participant observation, interviews with four informants, and document analysis. The findings suggested that the youth leader employed varied communication styles depending on his social role within the organization. As a leader, he utilized controlling, structuring, and relinquishing styles; as a coach, he adopted a more directive approach; and as a teacher and peer, he favored an egalitarian style. These communication strategies, shaped by Christian values and local cultural norms of Banyuwangi, played a significant role in fostering motivation and participation among youth members.

This research aims to describe the importance for an educator to plan a learning process that can increase the activeness and involvement of students in learning. The research uses descriptive qualitative research methods with a literature study approach. From this research it is concluded that in planning Christian Religious Education learning, an educator needs to: understand the uniqueness of students both in their intelligence and learning styles, formulate learning objectives that are able to facilitate students to be actively involved in learning, use varied learning methods, use supporting learning facilities and infrastructure, and make learning assessments that focus on student activeness.

Integrating Tongkonan and Christianity: A Strategy to Build Cultural and Spiritual Identity of Toraja Youth in the Midst of Urban Globalization
This study aims to examine the impact of globalization on the cultural and spiritual identity of Toraja youth, as well as the role of Tongkonan and the integration of Christian teachings in their lives amid urban life, particularly in Makassar. Globalization brings significant changes that affect the way people think, interact, and form their identities, including Toraja youth who are deeply connected to their cultural and traditional roots. The fast-paced urban life and the dominance of global culture have caused many Toraja youth to feel disconnected from their cultural heritage, leading to a crisis of identity. Meanwhile, the church, as a religious institution in Makassar, faces challenges in linking Christian teachings with Toraja cultural values, which are increasingly marginalized. Using the library research method, this study analyzes literature related to Toraja culture, Christian teachings, and the impact of globalization. The findings suggest the importance of integrating Toraja cultural values, such as the symbolism of Tongkonan, into Christian religious education so that Toraja youth can rediscover a more authentic and relevant sense of purpose amid the pressures of globalization. Religious education based on experience and reflection, and connecting local values with Christian teachings, can help form a strong and relevant spiritual identity for Toraja youth in the city.

Sekolah Minggu sebagai Solusi untuk Mengantisipasi Stagnasi dalam Pendidikan Kristen di Gereja
The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the non-linear development of Christianity in relation to population growth. Christianity has been present for about 20 centuries and has proven to endure in various situations. This endurance is evidence that this religion exists according to God's will as the creator of the world, aimed at guiding humanity to align with the divine plan. However, it is unfortunate that the graph of Christianity in terms of quality and quantity shows a tendency to remain constant. The research conducted is an ethnographic study that employs qualitative methods with triangulation techniques to gather data, analyzed using ethnomethodology. The results indicate a 60% decline in quality over four years from 2019 to 2022, and quantity does not align with population growth, sourced from data of five selected denominations around Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This research illustrates the realities and hopes related to the importance of Sunday school organized by the church to maintain existence in terms of quality and quantity among Christians today.
Pendidikan dalam Keluarga untuk Mengantisipasi Pengaruh Pemikiran Postmodern bagi Remaja Kristen
This article presents the problem that teenagers who have not yet been won to Christ are very vulnerable to being influenced by postmodernist thinking. Considering they do not have a solid foundation of faith in Christ. The anticipation is that parents must take the initiative to introduce Jesus to them. The method used in this research is a survey in the form of a questionnaire. The results show that 26 students (65%) out of 40 Christian students at a high school in Bandung City do not yet have a close relationship with Christ. Meanwhile, 14 students (35%) stated that they had experienced new life and had faith in Jesus. This data reflects the attitude of parents who do not fully prioritize spiritual needs in their family. These teenagers are in the midst of a period of panca roba or doubt and are easily influenced by deviant teachings. The challenges faced by spiritual coaches at school are the same as those faced by their parents. The challenge arises to serve and develop them to know Christ personally. In conclusion, winning teenagers to Christ is a priority for parents to anticipate the influence of modernist thinking on them.

Peran Guru Kristen sebagai Penuntun dalam Mewujudkan Pendidikan Karakter yang Holistis-Transformasional
The decline in character is the fruit of the ineffective implementation of transformational-holistic character education. Christian teachers are important in understanding their duties and functions as guides to revitalize character education that touches aspects of students' lives as a whole: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Therefore, the purpose of writing this paper is to describe the role of the Christian teacher as a guide in realizing holistic transformational character education. The writing method used is the method of literature review. Holistic-transformational character education is important because students can find identity, meaning, and purpose in life through interaction with the environment and God. Christian teachers must always establish relationships with students, and have a personal relationship with God so that they can imitate Christ as the Great Shepherd, center Christ in education, and have an eschatological mission. This can be realized through strategies, methods, and teaching models that are varied and by the needs of students; providing motivation and support; and presenting good, rich material that remains grounded in Bible truth. Future researchers should examine the social competence of Christian teachers with homeroom/BK, parents, and students in realizing the above.

The Holy Communion is a part of faith maintenance. GKJ Jambeyan has implemented Holy Communion for children who have not yet taken the confirmation, or in other words, for teenagers who have not yet professed their faith. There are two teenagers who often cause trouble even after participating in Children's Communion, such as using foul language and harming others. Additionally, parents of two teenagers from GKJ Jambeyan have expressed concerns about their children being difficult to manage and burdensome. Moreover, one of these two teenagers withdrew from fellowship, even though they had attended Children's Communion, during which they received guidance on living as Christians. However, one of the teenagers experienced a positive change in daily behavior, making the spiritual transformation among these teenagers an interesting subject for research.

Makna “Menyesallah Allah” Dalam Kitab Yunus 3:10 dan Relevansinya dalam Pendidikan Jemaat
The use of the word God regrets in Jonah 3:10 often seems to confuse Bible readers, because it contradicts God's omniscient nature. This raises the question of whether God's omniscience is just a context or whether it is really God's nature like that. This paper aims to explain and provide an understanding of the word regret in Jonah 3:10. By using the method of interpretation as well as searching through books and articles, we will analyze the word regret in the book of Jonah 3:10. Jonah was repeatedly told by God to remind them to repent, because God knew that they would repent. That is why God was sorry because He is omniscient. God is merciful and His love is no respecter of persons, even the most sinful people will be forgiven by God. The book of Jonah 3:10 is a testament to God's character.
