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.
Recently, a video from a small claims court TV show, Equal Justice with Eboni K. Williams, went viral online. A man, Gregory Talbert, sues his 18-year-old son, Michael Talbert, for $6000 to compensate him for dropping out of a "conversion therapy" program when he was 17. All the gay news outlets are running with this story as if it's a true event. And there's no disclaimer at the beginning of the video. But do a bit of digging and it's clearly anti-Christian, anti-therapeutic choice propaganda. But it fits the narrative, so people are eating it up!

On Tuesday, March 31st, the US Supreme Court ruled that Colorado's ban against "conversion therapy" for minors is unconstitutional, violating the free speech of therapists and forcing them to espouse only government-approved views on a controversial issue. This is great news! Here are my brief thoughts on the significance of this ruling.

Here's a "reflession" based on a common theme in some sessions from this past week, addressing the question of what to tell yourself when you don't want to do what you think you should do. Instead of just pushing through your resistance, acknowledge your agency, understand your resistance, and then identify what would be good for you to do.

Matthew Grech had great news today about his three-year trial over Malta's ban against "conversion practices." He was persecuted just for sharing his testimony of leaving a gay life to follow Christ. And this isn't the only good news to celebrate lately!
