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.
What does psychological, emotional, and sexual change entail? Before we dive into the change process for the sexuality issues I usually address, it would be good to review the processes of transformational change of emotions, behavioral problems, attachment styles, and outdated schemas. We'll see how experiential therapies--and even certain ministry approaches--use memory reconsolidation to edit the emotions, behaviors, and core beliefs associated with implicit memories. If you're a client, this would be a great video to help orient you to the therapy process.

The mainstream narrative on what's labeled "conversion therapy" is a psyop. A psyop (psychological operation) or engineered reality is a largescale strategy (usually by the media, corporations, the government, or military) to hijack and manipulate people's emotions, opinions, behavior, and even sense of identity. Using Chase Hughes' (founder of NCI) video on how to discern psyops, we will see how this applies to the ubiquitous message that any form of counseling or ministry for exploring change in unwanted same-sex attraction, homosexual behavior, and gender identity conflicts is a dangerous, pervasive, and insidious threat against all people identified as LGBTQ that must be outlawed globally.

I'm excited to share this interview with Spencer Boliou! He's a Christian hip hop/R&B/folk/worship artist from Boise, ID. And he's refreshingly open about his story of experiencing same-sex attraction, identifying as a Side B "gay Christian," and then embracing the journey of transformation. I hope you will find this conversation to be enlightening and encouraging.

I'm happy to present this interview with my new friend, John Fitzpatrick, from the band JJ Fitz. We met through the First Love Unbroken conference, where I was a breakout presenter and he led worship. He has a powerful testimony of healing from childhood trauma that was at the root to his substance addictions. We discuss his journey of ups and downs, and using the gift of music to help others. I hope this conversation glorifies God and encourages you.
