Apa Tugas Tuhan untuk Pendeta Simon di YAKKUM? - CDB Podcast EPS 05

The Prophetic Role of the Church and YAKUM
📌 The prophetic role of the church is exercised publicly regarding concrete issues faced by society, enabling the church to contribute real solutions to congregational struggles in daily, national, and state life.
🏥 YAKUM (Yayasan Kristen untuk Kesehatan Umum) is a church-based social institution operating in the health sector, executing its prophetic role through all its activities.
👤 Individuals working within YAKUM, like the guest, also carry a prophetic role aligned with their specific duties and responsibilities.

Fulfilling Multiple Roles (Pastor, Lecturer, YAKUM Board Chair)
✝️ The guest, Pastor Simon Julianto, serves simultaneously as a pastor, a lecturer at UKSW Satya Wacana Faculty of Theology, and the Chair of the YAKUM Board since 2020.
💯 He operates under the conviction that every task assigned by God must be executed 100%, viewing his roles as a pastor, lecturer, and board chair as equally important mandates from God.
🔄 The main prophetic task assigned by the Synod to him at YAKUM is to return YAKUM to its original mandate (khitah), focusing on its core functions in hospital services, social services (diakonia), and education.

Visions and Challenges in Leadership
🎯 The primary goal in leading YAKUM is to execute the duties assigned by the Synod, which form the guiding *mimpi* (dream/vision) for his tenure, ensuring alignment with the Synod's expectations.
🤝 A key personal goal that supports the broader vision is fostering good communication and peace within the organization, actively promoting dialogue to resolve disagreements.
⏱️ The biggest internal challenge is time management due to the heavy workload across multiple demanding roles, which is managed by prioritizing based on God's assignment and utilizing quality interaction time.

Personal Management and Well-being
🚶‍♂️ Maintaining physical and mental well-being is crucial, involving simple daily habits like walking about 4.5 km every morning after waking up around 4:45 AM.
👨‍👩‍👧 Strong family relationships, particularly video calls with his child in Jakarta, serve as a vital source of renewed energy and strength.
😌 Adopting the mindset that "a joyful heart is our strength" and applying the belief that "sufficient for the day is its own trouble" prevents him from bringing conflicts from one duty area (like YAKUM issues) into his ministry or academic duties.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The prophetic work of Diakonia (service) means helping the community through health approaches; YAKUM should be viewed as the "church without sacraments."
➡️ Maintain high work standards (working hard/not halfway) but never be satisfied; the mandate is to constantly seek ways to develop and expand programs further.
➡️ Embrace the concept that you are needed not as an object, but as new agents of God; fulfill the tasks assigned to you, regardless of your profession or belief system, if the task is to help others.
