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.
Should Christians engage in mindfulness-based therapies? We're in the midst of a mindfulness revolution in the West. For Christians and Christian counselors, we face the dilemma of how to approach this practice that seems to be based in Eastern mysticism. In this video, I explain how I navigated this topic over the past several years. As I've learned more about what mindfulness actually is, I see how the basic core of mindfulness is not only compatible with Christianity, but if we also view it as "bodyfulness" (as Eric Gentry calls it), it fits quite well with Theology of the Body. And I've learned Christianity has always had its own version of mindfulness, so we're not left with borrowing from other religions.

Justin Greenfield is a speaker and spiritual director, coaching churches and individuals to more redemptively address LGBTQ+ topics. I invited him onto my channel to share his story, which serves as a decent case study in the common roots of developing same-sex attraction. We also tie in poignant commentary on recent research.

The culture war is actually a battle between masculine and feminine virtues. Instead of the masculine and feminine ruling together in harmony, one seeks to dominate the other. And though the feminine virtues may be considered the "soft virtues" like love, compassion, and safety, what we're seeing highlighted with the "woke revolution" and the current Lindsay Clancy case is just how dangerous the corrupted feminine is.

I'm taking a brief break from my typical videos to give some encouragement inspired by the new Looney Tunes movie, "Coyote vs. Acme," featuring my favorite characters, Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. If you've been facing challenges and disappointments, take some lessons from the genius that is Wile E. Coyote!
