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.

Here are some thoughts about the themes in the new MCU movie, Thunderbolts, about trauma, pain, depression, nihilism, and what's necessary for healing. I made some connections from this superhero comic book movie to "The Road Less Traveled" and Jordan Peterson and the therapeutic process of transforming our old schemas.

Here are my thoughts after seeing the film "A Real Pain" (2024), starring Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg (who also wrote and directed it). It's a poignant portrait of two extreme approaches to the pain of life: unrestrained expression or suppression of emotion. It highlights our utter need for close relationships, demonstrating the consequences of how we deal with emotions on other people.

Here's an important moment from my commentary of Jordan Peterson's interview with Simone Gold from America's Frontline Doctors, in which I show the parallels between the COVID tyranny (including blocking access to effective treatments) and LGBT activism and bans against therapy for exploring change in sexual attraction and gender identity (what they call "conversion therapy" ). This tactic is a violation of the right to free speech for not only the therapist, but especially the client.
