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.
I'm interviewing Daniel Mingo (from Abba's Delight) and Derek Paul (from Identify Ministries), with whom I will be joining at the upcoming Transformation Ministries Alliance conference at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky this June 21-24, 2023! Daniel is the founder of TMA and Derek is his successor as executive director. They both share their stories of being discipled through struggles with same-sex attraction, confessing to their wives, and discipling others, then we discuss the history and vision for TMA.

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!

During the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice & Scientific Integrity online conference Aug. 28 & 29, 2026, a topic came up in our Q&A. I expounded on a phenomenon I've observed with certain male clients that contributes to some degree to their homosexuality. These clients come from strict religious upbringings that emphasize the purity of women. These anxious clients then internalize this as a block against their own heterosexual development. Let's discuss!

Following up on my videos on shame and guilt, let's address the question, "Can a thought be a sin?" This is a challenge for my clients with sexual struggles (such as unwanted same-sex attraction, fetishes, or addiction) and OCD or high trait anxiety. To help with this question, I consult wisdom from Scripture, the Early Church, and Fr. Stephen De Young and Fr. Andrew Damick from The Lord of Spirits podcast.
