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.
Christian apologist Sean McDowell just recently released a short video describing how he would counsel a Christian with unwanted same-sex attraction. As a therapist who specializes in this topic, I want to supplement Sean's advice with guidance on how to go further in helping someone explore his/her SSA with curiosity and compassion, and hopefully heal what may underlie the SSA, as well as respond to pushback I receive from certain conservative Christians.

Hi everyone, I need your prayers! Last Friday, YouTube informed me they removed the video of my interview I did with Dr. Joe Nicolosi, Jr, discussing the research study he just published on the use of memory reconsolidation to change sexually arousing memories. They claimed it violated the "hate speech" community guideline and gave me my first channel strike. (They removed two other videos in the past, but they had given me only warnings before.) They gave no time stamps or examples of how this video contained "hate speech."
Because of the strike, I haven't been able to post all week on my PsychoBible channel on YouTube. Before submitting my appeal, I wanted to wait for the week to finish so I could inform all of my subscribers. I have one shot at an appeal. When I've previously appealed them removing one of my earlier videos, they doubled down on their decision very quickly. So, I urgently request your prayers before submitting my appeal for this video.
My channel is small and this ...
I've been noticing over the past few years this trend in my town of people leaving out their Halloween decorations way past October . . . particularly lawn skeletons. What is the symbolic meaning of this phenomenon? Here are my thoughts.

Here's an addendum to my story of discrimination in graduate school for offering counseling to people with unwanted same-sex attraction. What is my advice to students pursuing a career in the helping professions (psychology, counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, etc.)? Seek and speak the truth no matter what. Here's why (featuring words from Jordan Peterson and M. Scott Peck).
