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.
In 2021, The Journal of Human Sexuality published a study by Carolyn Pela and Philip Sutton about the use of Nicolosi's Reintegrative Therapy for exploring sexual attraction fluidity. This was a landmark study--the first ever prospective study on the beneficence and effectiveness of therapy for sexual attraction change. But, Gregory Coles, a well-known "Side B gay Christian," from Preston Sprinkle's "Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender," is not impressed. In a few different blog posts this summer, he shows he has an axe to grind over this research article, making his case with some rather curious arguments. So, let's give a thorough response!

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.
