Abstrakt: This study aims to explain the strategy of parents in passing on a spiritual life to the Alpha generation according to Psalm 78: 5-11. The Alpha generation has experienced spiritual decline due to technological developments, cultural changes, the impact of globalization, and shifts in social values since childhood. The argument is that although the full responsibility for a person’s spiritual life lies with each individual, the Church is also responsible for passing on spiritual life in synergy with parents and families to the Alpha Generation. The study used a qualitative approach with a literature study method. The conclusion is that parents base their spiritual heritage on the Bible, family-based discipleship in homes, sharing parents’ spiritual life experiences with their children, and wise use of media technology as a teaching tool.
