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.

I'm honored to present this interview with Christine Sneeringer, director of Worthy Creations. We discuss her story of sexual redemption, coming to Christ as a lesbian in a church softball team. She served alongside the late Sy Rogers for 20 years, producing his videos, so we reminisce about Sy. And we cover Christine's new book, "Answers to Gender Madness," reviewing the chapter on do's and don'ts for parents when their child announces a trans identity. There are some great nuggets in this conversation. Be blessed!

This brief exercise is a homework routine you can use to transform outdated schemas (templates for how you feel, believe, and act). In this video, we'll review schema formation and the counteractive and memory reconsolidation approaches to changing schemas, then learn how to practice changing your implicit learning on your own. This schema disconfirmation exercise is an excellent follow-up to the coherence script I previously taught.

Here is a brief script you can use to understand the way you feel, think, and act (even the way you tend to sin) as part of double-looping with yourself (a strategy for gaining understanding and acceptance of yourself). Instead of viewing yourself just as crazy, weak, or depraved, the Coherence Script (which I borrow from Bruce Ecker's Coherence Therapy) helps you compassionately make sense of your experience and choices.
