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.
Here's another excerpt from my response video to Julia Sadusky's criticism of Reintegrative Therapy, this time responding to her incredulity over Joseph Nicolosi, Sr's developmental theory for (male) same-sex attraction and homosexuality. She mostly accurately points out that we see trauma, such as attachment loss, peer rejection, early sexual experiences and pornography exposure, as the roots to most same-sex arousal templates and desires. She wrongly asserts that Nicolosi's theory is arbitrary and that we assume such trauma right off the bat. Here's my rebuttal.

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.

Matthew Grech had great news today about his three-year trial over Malta's ban against "conversion practices." He was persecuted just for sharing his testimony of leaving a gay life to follow Christ. And this isn't the only good news to celebrate lately!

Way back in 1945, C.S. Lewis predicted the cultural revolution we're seeing today. In his finale for the Space Trilogy, he describes a cabal of intellectual elites with the agenda of reshaping society and humanity itself. The N.I.C.E. foreshadows so much that we see today from the sexual revolution, wokeness, the postmodern neo-Marxist revolution, and transhumanism. Let's explore the parallels!
