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.
Here's a "reflession" (a reflection on a therapy session) on a time a client asked my thoughts on other Christians telling him he just needs to get close to God and God will fill him with such love that he'll need nothing from anyone else again. I explained why I both fully agree and disagree with this sentiment. Yes, God meets all our needs. But he uses people--The Body of Christ--to do it. Christianity isn't about being more "spiritual," but about being incarnational.

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!
