This study seeks to explore the role of Christian leadership in sustaining critical discernment regarding the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Christian religious education. Amid the rapid progression of digital technologies, there emerges a growing risk of diminished critical capacity among both learners and educators due to increasing reliance on AI systems. Christian leadership, rooted in theological values and the ethics of faith, serves a vital role in nurturing awareness, reflective engagement, and critical attitudes toward the use of technology. Employing a qualitative approach and literature-based analysis, this study finds that visionary and transformative Christian leaders are able to uphold the integrity of the learning process by balancing technological innovation with faith-based principles. Critical analysis is thus essential to ensure that Christian religious education does not succumb solely to efficiency but continues to emphasize character formation, spiritual depth, and intellectual growth. Therefore, Christian leadership is indispensable in ensuring that the implementation of AI supports—rather than replaces—the core values of faith-based education.

Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran kepemimpinan Kristen dalam mempertahankan ketajaman analisis terhadap dampak penggunaan Artificial Intelligence (AI) bagi pendidikan agama Kristen. Di tengah kemajuan teknologi digital yang pesat, muncul risiko melemahnya daya kritis peserta didik dan pengajar akibat ketergantungan pada AI. Kepemimpinan Kristen yang berbasis nilai teologis dan etika iman memainkan peran strategis dalam menumbuhkan kesadaran, refleksi, dan sikap kritis terhadap pemanfaatan teknologi. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif dan kajian literatur, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pemimpin Kristen yang visioner dan transformatif mampu menjaga integritas proses pembelajaran dengan menyeimbangkan inovasi teknologi dan prinsip-prinsip iman. Ketajaman analisis menjadi kunci agar pendidikan agama Kristen tidak terjebak pada efisiensi semata, tetapi tetap menekankan pada pembentukan karakter, spiritualitas, dan pertumbuhan intelektual. Dengan demikian, kepemimpinan Kristen diperlukan untuk memastikan bahwa penggunaan AI mendukung, bukan menggantikan, nilai-nilai inti dalam pendidikan iman.
