The post-truth era is characterized by the strengthening of emotions and subjective beliefs over facts, so that hoaxes become a serious threat to social life, including the church community. Church youth are a group that is vulnerable to digital disinformation due to the high intensity of social media use, weak digital literacy, and lack of a culture of critical thinking. This article aims to formulate a model of anti-hoax youth development based on critical pedagogy in the post-truth era, with a study on the youth of HKBP Parsaoran Tegal Sari. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The findings show that the vulnerability of youth to hoaxes is caused by a combination of psychological factors, low digital-theological literacy, and the absence of critical dialogue spaces in the church. Based on Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy framework, this article offers six coaching models: digital literacy catechization, critical discussion communities, digital discernment training, thematic sermons and PAs, church fact-checking teams, and youth-pastor-parhalado collaboration. This model is expected to form critical, ethical, and faithful youth in dealing with hoaxes.
