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.
Back in March, Josh Butler published on The Gospel Coalition's website an excerpt from the first chapter of his forthcoming book, "Beautiful Union: How God's Vision for Sex Points Us to the Good, Unlocks the True, and (Sort of) Explains Everything." The article was a presentation to a Reformed Evangelical Protestant audience of Theology of the Body, showing how marriage and sex reveal mysteries about Christ and the Church. Well, the article sparked such a furor that it led to TGC pulling the article, issuing an apology, removing Butler as a fellow with their new Tim Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics, and Butler having to step down as lead pastor of his church. Brace yourself as I dive into what this controversy shows about the civil war within Evangelicalism, explaining (and rebutting) the extreme reactions his article got.

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!
