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.
On 6/1/24, I presented at the Transformation Ministries Alliance 2nd conference in Williamstown, KY. One of the main concepts I teach my clients is the self-state model, which I learned from Joseph Nicolosi, Sr. I have found it to have wide-ranging application, as it explains the states of emotional regulation and dysregulation that precede any compulsive behavior, including homosexual enactment. My contribution to the model is fusing it with polyvagal theory and the different threat reactions.

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!

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!
