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.
Daren Mehl is the president of Voice of the Voiceless, whose mission is to lift up the voices of ex-LGBT and honor Jesus Christ. And he's a minister with Agape First Ministries, which equips and supports the church and loved ones of sexuality strugglers, and disciples strugglers themselves. Daren does a lot of good in raising awareness about the attacks coming against the church from without and within, showing how LGBT activism is threatening the advancement of the Gospel. I'm happy to say that I am on the board of Voice of the Voiceless. In this first interview, Daren shares his testimony of accepting salvation through Christ and his journey of sexual healing and integration.

I've been noticing over the past few years this trend in my town of people leaving out their Halloween decorations way past October . . . particularly lawn skeletons. What is the symbolic meaning of this phenomenon? Here are my thoughts.

Here's an addendum to my story of discrimination in graduate school for offering counseling to people with unwanted same-sex attraction. What is my advice to students pursuing a career in the helping professions (psychology, counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, etc.)? Seek and speak the truth no matter what. Here's why (featuring words from Jordan Peterson and M. Scott Peck).

I recorded this video on 6/25/25, the 10th anniversary of receiving the email that changed my life. I was four weeks away from finishing my year-long internship and graduating with my master's in counseling psychology. Then, the head of the internship program at Chestnut Hill College emailed me to stop my internship immediately because of my work with men coping with unwanted same-sex attraction. I've told my story in different venues before, including an article for the Journal of Human Sexuality, but here is the full story . . . with no censorship or redactions.
