Resiliensi Spiritual Remaja di Era Kecemasan: Pengembangan Model Pembinaan Iman Berbasis ROOTED
Abstrak
Adolescents of the digital generation are growing up in an "age of anxiety" marked by rising rates of anxiety and depression, while their faith is often too shallow to sustain resilience. This article aims to develop a model of faith formation that cultivates spiritual resilience among adolescents in Christian religious education (PAK). Employing a conceptual-critical method that brings the psychology of resilience into dialogue with theology, this study contextualizes the ROOTED model, originally formulated by the author for pastoral resilience, within the domain of adolescent faith formation. The article argues that spiritual resilience is not merely coping or immunity to pressure, but rather a rootedness in God that enables adaptive endurance, with consequential and generative faith as its prerequisite. The six components of this model are perichoretically interrelated, namely, rooted in Christ, oriented toward hope, open to woundedness, tending the body, enduring in community, and doxological. These components are developed for the adolescent context and operationalized within PAK praxis, with the affirmation that this model complements rather than replaces professional mental health services. The article's contribution is a theologically anchored integrative framework for resilience-forming Christian religious education.
Abstrak
Remaja generasi digital bertumbuh dalam "era kecemasan" yang ditandai oleh meningkatnya angka kecemasan dan depresi, sementara iman mereka kerap terlalu dangkal untuk menopang resiliensi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model pembinaan iman yang menumbuhkan resiliensi spiritual pada remaja dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK). Dengan menggunakan metode konseptual-kritis yang mendialogkan psikologi resiliensi dengan teologi, kajian ini mengontekstualisasikan model ROOTED yang semula penulis rumuskan untuk resiliensi pastoral ke dalam pembinaan iman remaja. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa resiliensi spiritual bukanlah sekadar koping atau kekebalan terhadap tekanan, melainkan keberakaran di dalam Allah yang memampukan ketahanan adaptif, dan bahwa iman yang berkonsekuensi serta generatif merupakan prasyaratnya. Keenam komponen model ini berhubungan secara perikoretik, yakni berakar dalam Kristus, berorientasi pada pengharapan, terbuka terhadap keterlukaan, merawat tubuh, bertahan dalam komunitas, dan bersifat doksologis. Keenam komponen tersebut dikembangkan untuk konteks remaja dan dioperasionalkan dalam praktik PAK, dengan penegasan bahwa model ini melengkapi, bukan menggantikan, layanan kesehatan mental profesional. Kontribusi artikel ini adalah kerangka integratif yang berlandaskan teologi bagi PAK untuk menumbuhkan resiliensi.
