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.
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 video, though just posted this year, was growing to become one of my most watched. The data in the interview is a source of hope to so many people struggling with sexual attractions and behavior that do not align with their sense of self and their values.
My subscribers know I do not preach hate. I NEVER call for violence against any persons or groups. Period. I speak love, truth, and hope to sexuality strugglers. I could boost my reach and make a living off YouTube by just being a culture war commentator and get no opposition from YouTube. But it's those of us who offer hope for healing who face persecution, because that's what the Enemy hates. But we come to declare freedom to captives and light to those in darkness, to bind up the brokenhearted, undoing the works of the Evil One.
That all said, if you're a YouTube subscriber, please remember to also subscribe to my Rumble channel. I've been working all week on updating it since I was about a year behind on uploading videos to it. Almost caught up now.
September 25-27, 2025, I had the immense honor of being at the American Association of Christian Counselors World Conference in Nashville, TN, and co-presenting with Dr. Christopher Rosik, one of my fellow board members on the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity! We presented on Censoring Christian Sexuality: Insights from the Trenches. In my portion, I outlined the Christian vision of sexuality and then the major factors why there is opposition to Christian sexual morality and Christian sexuality counseling, and why there are so many divisions within the church on the topic. For the sake of time, I had to chop a lot. So, here's a more thorough teaching, diving into philosophy, culture dynamics, and Moral Foundations Theory.

On Oct. 7th, the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments for the Kaley Chiles v. Salazar case involving a Christian counselor challenging Colorado's ban against "conversion therapy" for minors. This is a huge case for those of us who have been fighting for therapeutic choice since the first state ban in California passed in 2012. Let's listen to the audio recording and I'll give my commentary as a therapist who specializes in helping people with unwanted same-sex attraction.

In wrapping up my discussion of the Chiles v. Salazar case at the Supreme Court, challenging Colorado's ban against "conversion therapy" (therapy to explore change in same-sex attraction and behaviors and gender identity/expression), I want to discuss two amicus briefs submitted in support of Colorado's ban. These briefs were written by ministers and counselors who claim to be "conservative, orthodox Christians" that advocate for the Side B "gay Christian" approach in the Church. They all claim to support the Church's historic understanding of sex and marriage, and yet they oppose therapy to help individuals better align with God's design and destiny for our sexuality.
