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.
I recorded this video on 6/25/25, the 10th anniversary of receiving the email that changed my life. I was four weeks away from finishing my year-long internship and graduating with my master's in counseling psychology. Then, the head of the internship program at Chestnut Hill College emailed me to stop my internship immediately because of my work with men coping with unwanted same-sex attraction. I've told my story in different venues before, including an article for the Journal of Human Sexuality, but here is the full story . . . with no censorship or redactions.

If you're struggling with guilt over your sin or feeling distant from God, this video is for you! Let's explore the amazing connection between the 70-30 rule in "good enough" parenting and God's love for you--yes, even in your waywardness.

Going along with the recent videos I've done on shame and guilt, I invited onto my channel Dr. Diera Shaw-Mendez to share the presentation she did with her husband, Juan Mendez, at the July 2026 First Love Unbroken Conference. She and Juan co-direct Hope House for Our Families, operating discipleship homes in New Jersey for people in recovery. For her doctor in education degree at Liberty University, she completed a dissertation with research on the elements of moral injury and spiritual struggles that are so often missing from recovery treatment plans. We touch on some topics that are critical for my clients and so many others struggling with patterns of sin.

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.
