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.

In this extensive interview, I chat with Wayne Blakely, the founder of Know His Love Ministries and producer of "Freedom," a new documentary film investigating the attacks on "conversion therapy." Wayne shares his story of sexual brokenness and repentance. Then, for years, Wayne ran a ministry to educate his denomination about a biblical approach to homosexuality, but he would always condemn "conversion therapy" as abusive and harmful. But he realized he had been buying into propaganda when he saw an interview I did with Theology Mom, explaining the different approaches within the church regarding homosexuality. That inspired a project that spanned over three years of filming, dozens of interviews, and multiple countries. This movie features some surprising guests and covers the topic broadly and deeply.

Did Sam Allberry fall into the sin of an inappropriate relationship with another man because he did not believe the experience of same-sex attraction is a sin in itself? The response to the news of his resignation from Immanuel Church highlights the doctrinal conflict in the Evangelical world between the Mortification Stream (Side Y) and the Accommodation Stream (Side B). Here's my commentary.

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!
