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.
As part of my series of movie reflections for Mental Health Awareness Month (May), here's my full, spoiler-filled, commentary on the Disney Pixar film "Inside Out 2" (2024). This movie was a perfect illustration of how emotions function, how memories and beliefs form, and the need to integrate unpleasant experiences and truths about yourself. I touch on the necessary roles of mothering and fathering from parents, as well as the controversy over whether Riley's admiration and envy of Val was LGBT-coded.

To celebrate my 40th birthday, I went skydiving with my younger brother, Dan (@thepulse87 ), something I've dreamed of doing for years! In reflecting on this, I want to encourage you to find the joy in danger as you take on whatever mission God has for you. Dark times are ahead, and it calls for brave warriors in God's Kingdom!

One of the myths about change-exploring therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction or gender identity conflicts (what our opponents call "conversion therapy" ) is that such therapy is based on "prejudicial assumptions." But I will show in this video, by using the very principles of multicultural therapy, is that the opposite is true. In fact, authentic multicultural therapy will allow, protect, and even promote change-exploring therapy for people with SSA and/or gender dysphoria who do not identify as LGBTQ+.

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.
