I'm Andrew Rodriguez, a Christian therapist, speaker, and former youth pastor. In my counseling, I specialize in sexual and relational issues. PsychoBible is my outlet for discussing ideas about the intersection of Christianity and psychology, especially regarding sexuality and cultural issues.
Some topics to expect: Theology of the Body, therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction, and the culture war.
After giving my review of the Restored Hope Network Hope 2022 conference, I return to reflecting on the recent Theology of the Body Institute's "Revealed" conference by tying both conferences together to argue that a true understanding of Theology of the Body leads to promotion of transformational ex-gay ministry and counseling. There are increasingly popular voices in Christianity, particularly in Big Evangelicalism, that will agree with the symbolism in TOB, but they remain silent, apprehensive, or downright opposed to ministry or counseling to overcome unwanted same-sex attraction or gender identity confusion. These Christian thought leaders are missing how TOB is all about sexual and gender integration. They preach holiness without the healing, but you cannot have one without the other.

The mainstream narrative on what's labeled "conversion therapy" is a psyop. A psyop (psychological operation) or engineered reality is a largescale strategy (usually by the media, corporations, the government, or military) to hijack and manipulate people's emotions, opinions, behavior, and even sense of identity. Using Chase Hughes' (founder of NCI) video on how to discern psyops, we will see how this applies to the ubiquitous message that any form of counseling or ministry for exploring change in unwanted same-sex attraction, homosexual behavior, and gender identity conflicts is a dangerous, pervasive, and insidious threat against all people identified as LGBTQ that must be outlawed globally.

I'm excited to share this interview with Spencer Boliou! He's a Christian hip hop/R&B/folk/worship artist from Boise, ID. And he's refreshingly open about his story of experiencing same-sex attraction, identifying as a Side B "gay Christian," and then embracing the journey of transformation. I hope you will find this conversation to be enlightening and encouraging.

I'm happy to present this interview with my new friend, John Fitzpatrick, from the band JJ Fitz. We met through the First Love Unbroken conference, where I was a breakout presenter and he led worship. He has a powerful testimony of healing from childhood trauma that was at the root to his substance addictions. We discuss his journey of ups and downs, and using the gift of music to help others. I hope this conversation glorifies God and encourages you.
