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.

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.
