the correlation between the intensity of the quarter-life crisis (Variable X) and self-esteem (Variable Y) among active students at the State Christian Institute of Kupang (IAKN Kupang). Employing a sample of 30 participants gathered via probability sampling techniques, data collection was conducted utilizing Likert-scale questionnaires and statistically processed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation formula. The empirical analysis demonstrates a significant and highly robust positive correlation between the investigated constructs ($r = 0.769$; $p = 0.000$). This outcome highlights a noteworthy theoretical anomaly, wherein heightened levels of crisis are unexpectedly linked with enhanced self-esteem. This distinct psychological pattern is driven by active internal introspection, a purposeful pursuit of life meaning, and personal identity consolidation amid adversity. Furthermore, the campus culture at IAKN Kupang—characterized by comprehensive spiritual mentoring, robust peer networks, and a nurturing social atmosphere—serves as a constructive emotional buffer. These external dynamics empower students to navigate developmental stress adaptively, demonstrating that rather than diminishing their self-worth, the identity crisis ultimately bolsters their personal resilience.
Abstract:Spiritualitas kehidupan merupakan kebutuhan mendasar yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dari perjalanan manusia dalam menemukan ketenangan dan makna hidup sejati. Di tengah dinamika kehidupan modern yang serba cepat, penuh tekanan,…

Dengan menumbuhkan spiritualitas, seseorang dapat menjalani hidup dengan penuh kesadaran, keikhlasan, dan pemahaman mendalam tentang tujuan keberadaannya. Spiritualitas menjadi jembatan yang menghubungkan manusia dengan nilai-nilai universal yang membawa pada ketenangan dan kebahagiaan hakiki.

Abstract:This study examines strategies for integrating spiritual values and character education based on local wisdom in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia. NTT has a unique socio-cultural characteristic in which Christian and…
Catholic values have been deeply inculturated into indigenous traditions and customary practices. This qualitative research aims to formulate a model of character education that remains firmly rooted in local cultural foundations (indigenous knowledge) rather than being detached from them. The findings indicate that local concepts such as Moat Gede (Sikka), Suu/Woe (Ngada/Ende), and Loke Nggerang (Manggarai) can function as effective instruments for cultivating noble moral character. The study concludes that the formation of youth character in NTT will achieve optimal outcomes when educational institutions are able to carry out a meaningful “reconciliation” between religious dogma, the formal curriculum, and customary ethical values.
Abstract:Penelitian ini menyoroti krisis integritas kepemimpinan yang melanda Indonesia dan gereja, yang kerap dipengaruhi oleh adopsi model kepemimpinan sekuler yang pragmatis serta mengabaikan spiritualitas Alkitabiah. Walaupun…
keteladanan Yesus menjadi acuan utama, kajian teologis khusus tentang integritas spiritual kepemimpinan-Nya dalam Injil Matius masih terbatas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis integritas spiritual Yesus dalam Injil Matius serta menggali implikasinya bagi kepemimpinan Kristen di Indonesia, khususnya bagi guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen dan pemimpin gereja. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan studi literatur serta eksegesis historis-gramatikal dan teologis terhadap Injil Matius. Hasil penelitian mendefinisikan integritas secara holistik sebagai kesatuan identitas diri, keaslian hidup, keberanian moral, kedekatan dengan Allah, dan kompetensi praktis. Integritas ini berakar pada relasi dengan Allah dan menuntut keselarasan antara perkataan, tindakan, serta kehendak-Nya. Kepemimpinan Kristen dipahami bukan sekadar kapasitas manusiawi atau posisi, melainkan panggilan ilahi yang menuntut visi rohani, integritas, dan pelayanan kasih. Empat kualifikasi integritas kepemimpinan Yesus yang ditemukan adalah: (1) Kepemimpinan melalui kehidupan doa yang tekun sebagai dasar ketergantungan total pada Allah dan ketaatan kepada kehendak-Nya; (2) Kepemimpinan sesuai tuntunan Roh Kudus sebagai sumber wibawa dan kuasa yang bersumber dari pengurapan ilahi; (3) kepemimpinan berdasarkan kebenaran firman Tuhan sebagai otoritas tertinggi, sumber kebenaran, inspirasi, hikmat, dan pendoman kehidpan; dan (4) kepemimpinan berkarakter ilahi yang nyata melalui kasih agape, kerendahan hati, belas kasihan, kejujuran, ketulusan, serta penolakan terhadap kemunafikan. Kesimpulannya, integritas kerohanian merupakan pilar fundamental yang menyatukan kedalaman spiritualitas dengan kredibilitas praktis, sekaligus memberikan kerangka teologis yang kokoh untuk membangun kepemimpinan Kristen yang otentik dan transformatif di tengah krisis integritas.
Abstract:This study highlights the urgent need to instill an understanding of religious moderation among church congregations in Indonesia’s pluralistic society, as a means to reduce religious tensions and extremism. Although the…
he Indonesian government has promoted the concept of religious moderation, its implementation within church communities remains underexplored. This research aims to identify effective strategies for fostering a moderate and inclusive understanding of religious moderation within Indonesian church congregations. A qualitative methodology was employed using a literature review approach based on relevant scholarly sources. Findings indicate that foundational strategies involve strengthening theological understanding of religious moderation from a Christian perspective, emphasizing core teachings such as love as the greatest commandment, Christian hospitality as practical application, and the theological principle of mutual acceptance (Romans 15:7). Furthermore, the study underscores the vital role of churches in this process through inclusive religious education, improved moderate religious literacy, responsible use of social media, engagement in interfaith dialogue, and systematic training programs. Cultivating a moderate and inclusive attitude requires nurturing humility, reinforcing national commitment in line with Pancasila, embracing diversity, rejecting extremism, and actualizing these values in daily life. To overcome challenges, the study recommends effective socialization, enhanced religious literacy, wise media engagement, collaboration with various stakeholders, exemplary leadership, and continuous program evaluation. The study concludes that religious moderation is an essential contribution of the church to national unity, conflict prevention, the upholding of national values, interfaith harmony, and the strengthening of national identity.
Abstract:Clean and healthy community that must be practiced continuously so that it becomes a habitual pattern. Living a clean and healthy lifestyle must be done wherever we are. Moreover, nowadays, children living behavior (PHBS)…
) is an action or activity carried out by a person or are lazy about maintaining cleanliness, for example washing their hands before eating, brushing their teeth before sleeping and so on. Children have more potential to imitate adult behavior, rather than carrying out commands (voices) or instructions from adults. Adults must practice clean and healthy living behavior continuously (consistent) and correctly, both at home and outside the home. That way, children will have a pattern of clean and healthy living behavior that will be practiced throughout their lives. The problem with students at SDN 106168 is that there are still students who snack randomly, throw rubbish out of place, during breaks students play under the hot sun so they sweat and smell like sweat, and they don't wash their hands after playing or doing activities outside the classroom. Thus, we as proponents want to provide socialization activities on the benefits and disadvantages of clean and healthy living behavior efforts. It is hoped that this activity can provide benefits for students in increasing their enthusiasm for learning.

elated to the effect of leadership style and job satisfaction on employee loyalty at CVA Putra Perkasa Malang. The dependent variable is employee loyalty, while the independent variables include leadership style and job satisfaction. Data were collected through a questionnaire with 80 respondents from the production department. This study uses a saturated sampling technique, and the data obtained were analyzed using validity, reliability, and multiple linear regression tests to test the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. Classical assumption tests such as normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity were also carried out to ensure a valid regression model, followed by the t-test and F-test to test partial and simultaneous effects. The coefficient of determination (R²) is used to measure the strength of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The results of the study indicate that leadership style has a positive effect on employee loyalty at CV Putra Perkasa, which means that the better the leadership style applied, the higher the level of employee loyalty. In addition, job satisfaction also has a positive effect on employee loyalty, where employees who are satisfied with their jobs tend to have higher loyalty to the company. Simultaneously, leadership style and job satisfaction have a significant effect on employee loyalty, indicating that these two variables, both separately and together, play an important role in increasing employee loyalty at CV Putera Perkasa
Abstract:This anthropological study examines the experiences of the Muslim minority in Rantepao City, North Toraja Regency, focusing on religious freedom and interfaith dynamics. In a predominantly Christian region, the Muslim community…
mmunity navigates its religious identity within a deeply rooted Torajan cultural landscape. Through ethnographic methods, including participant observation and in-depth interviews, this research explores how minority Muslims practice their faith, access public space, and maintain communal harmony. The findings reveal that religious freedom in Rantepao is negotiated through a balance of cultural assimilation and religious preservation. While formal rights are generally respected, subtle social boundaries exist, particularly regarding religious expression and ritual intersections with traditional Torajan customs (Aluk To Dolo). This study highlights the resilience of the Muslim minority and demonstrates how local cultural mechanisms facilitate daily coexistence, offering crucial insights into religious tolerance and minority-majority relations in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract:This study is grounded in the crisis of leadership integrity within Christian education, characterized by inconsistency between teaching and the lived practice of Christian Religious Education teachers, which consequently…
y weakens the formation of students’ character. The research problem addresses how Moses’ leadership integrity in Numbers 12:3–8 is understood through exegetical analysis and how it is relevant to the leadership of contemporary Christian Religious Education teachers. This study aims to identify the principles of Moses’ leadership integrity and to formulate its theological and practical relevance for Christian education. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method through biblical exegesis, theological analysis, and practical theology based on library research. The findings indicate that Moses’ integrity is grounded in profound humility, an intimate relationship with God as the source of leadership legitimacy, and moral consistency in obedience to the divine calling despite criticism and internal conflict. The study concludes that leadership integrity is not based on formal position, but on character quality aligned with the will of God and a living spiritual relationship. Its implication for Christian Religious Education teachers is that integrity constitutes the foundation of pedagogical and spiritual authority in shaping students’ character through life example, alignment between faith and action, and deep spiritual devotion. The novelty of this research lies in integrating the exegetical study of Numbers 12:3–8 with the construction of a leadership model for Christian Religious Education teachers based on three core dimensions of Moses’ integrity, forming a coherent theological framework applicable to contemporary Christian education.
