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.
A clip of Logan Paul's interview with pastors and apologists Cliff and Stuart Knechtle, asking them about homosexuality, went viral. And Not the Bee touted Cliffe's answer as a lesson in the hope of the Gospel and a master class in grace and truth, seasoned with salt. I think their answers show the need for Christian apologists to have a more adequate anthropology and understanding of sexuality. Let's break down their full conversation on this topic and see what we can learn.

Recently, a video from a small claims court TV show, Equal Justice with Eboni K. Williams, went viral online. A man, Gregory Talbert, sues his 18-year-old son, Michael Talbert, for $6000 to compensate him for dropping out of a "conversion therapy" program when he was 17. All the gay news outlets are running with this story as if it's a true event. And there's no disclaimer at the beginning of the video. But do a bit of digging and it's clearly anti-Christian, anti-therapeutic choice propaganda. But it fits the narrative, so people are eating it up!

On Tuesday, March 31st, the US Supreme Court ruled that Colorado's ban against "conversion therapy" for minors is unconstitutional, violating the free speech of therapists and forcing them to espouse only government-approved views on a controversial issue. This is great news! Here are my brief thoughts on the significance of this ruling.

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.
