Strategi Coaching untuk Pengembangan Spiritualitas Kaum Muda

Abstract

Postmodern culture has shaped the spirituality of young people, characterized by ambiguity, authenticity, and experience. Within this context, there is a significant issue: some churches appear to struggle in integrating young people's understanding and experiences in their efforts to develop their spirituality. This paper aims to propose coaching strategies as a relevant approach for fostering the spirituality of young people in a postmodern culture. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method. The findings indicate that four stages of coaching can be utilized to develop the spirituality of young people: (1) identifying the needs of young people (preparation stage); (2) providing opportunities for understanding through in-depth Bible study (practice stage); (3) creating experiential opportunities by encouraging young people to apply the teachings of the Bible in their daily lives (performance stage); and (4) conducting a joint evaluation with young people on the entire coaching process (post-game stage).
