Abstract

Young children today are growing up as digital natives who are increasingly exposed to digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), including various forms of AI spiritual meaning that may influence their faith development. This study aims to integrate Pentecostal pneumatology with early childhood Christian education in order to cultivate a contextual spirituality within the digital era. Employing a qualitative theological-literature approach, the study analyzes relevant works in pneumatology, digital theology, and Christian education. The findings indicate that the Holy Spirit should be understood not as a source of spiritual data or algorithmic guidance, but as a living and active divine Person who nurtures children through authentic experiences of faith, such as prayer, worship, and loving relationships. Meanwhile, digital technology functions as a supportive pedagogical tool rather than a substitute for divine activity. This study concludes that Christian education should promote a holistic model of faith formation by positioning the Holy Spirit at the center of children's spiritual growth while engaging digital technology in a responsible and constructive manner.

Abstrak

Anak-anak usia dini saat ini tumbuh sebagai digital natives yang akrab dengan teknologi digital dan kecerdasan buatan (AI), termasuk berbagai bentuk AI spiritual meaning yang dapat memengaruhi pembentukan iman mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengintegrasikan teologi pneumatologi Pentakosta dengan pendidikan Kristen anak usia dini untuk membangun spiritualitas yang kontekstual di era digital. Metode yang digunakan adalah kajian teologis-literatur terhadap sumber-sumber pneumatologi, teologi digital, dan pendidikan Kristen anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Roh Kudus harus dipahami sebagai Pribadi yang hidup dan aktif membimbing anak melalui pengalaman iman yang nyata, sementara teknologi berfungsi sebagai sarana pendukung, bukan pengganti karya ilahi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pendidikan Kristen perlu mengembangkan formasi iman yang holistik dengan menempatkan Roh Kudus sebagai pusat pertumbuhan spiritual anak di tengah perkembangan teknologi digital.
