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.
Just realized I forgot to post this a few weeks ago. This one is very important!
On 10/20/22, I presented at the 2nd conference of the ACHHS (Association of Christians in Health & Human Services) a breakout session explaining what actually happens in Reintegrative Therapy. RT is a treatment approach for trauma and addictions developed by Joseph Nicolosi, Jr (whose father is the founder of authentic Reparative Therapy), which has been found to be safe and effective in exploring sexual attraction fluidity. Although RT is not a religious approach, I show how it is compatible with a Christian worldview. I review the process of normative sexual development and the theory behind RT's techniques for gaining understanding and healing.

Here's a "reflession" based on a common theme in some sessions from this past week, addressing the question of what to tell yourself when you don't want to do what you think you should do. Instead of just pushing through your resistance, acknowledge your agency, understand your resistance, and then identify what would be good for you to do.

Matthew Grech had great news today about his three-year trial over Malta's ban against "conversion practices." He was persecuted just for sharing his testimony of leaving a gay life to follow Christ. And this isn't the only good news to celebrate lately!

Way back in 1945, C.S. Lewis predicted the cultural revolution we're seeing today. In his finale for the Space Trilogy, he describes a cabal of intellectual elites with the agenda of reshaping society and humanity itself. The N.I.C.E. foreshadows so much that we see today from the sexual revolution, wokeness, the postmodern neo-Marxist revolution, and transhumanism. Let's explore the parallels!
