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 we're winding down May, Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to share some reflections on the temptation to romanticize the act of taking your own life. When we suffer immensely, suicide can easily be seen as the final way to assert control. But this act is not epic. Here are some thoughts inspired by the reactions to Richard "Beebo" Russell (AKA "Sky King" ), who stole an airplane to end his life in 2018. I tie in The Dead Poets Society, Twenty One Pilots, the male loneliness epidemic, and a very personal reason why I care about all this.

Justin Greenfield is a speaker and spiritual director, coaching churches and individuals to more redemptively address LGBTQ+ topics. I invited him onto my channel to share his story, which serves as a decent case study in the common roots of developing same-sex attraction. We also tie in poignant commentary on recent research.

The culture war is actually a battle between masculine and feminine virtues. Instead of the masculine and feminine ruling together in harmony, one seeks to dominate the other. And though the feminine virtues may be considered the "soft virtues" like love, compassion, and safety, what we're seeing highlighted with the "woke revolution" and the current Lindsay Clancy case is just how dangerous the corrupted feminine is.

I'm taking a brief break from my typical videos to give some encouragement inspired by the new Looney Tunes movie, "Coyote vs. Acme," featuring my favorite characters, Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. If you've been facing challenges and disappointments, take some lessons from the genius that is Wile E. Coyote!
