In honor of my parents' birthdays (Dec. 16 and 17), I interview them to discuss Open Heart Ministry, their service to the homeless and displaced in Myrtle Beach, SC. Luis and Marilyn Rodriguez are chaplains with years of experience doing lay ministry and pastoral work, such as mission trips, prison ministry, helping people in addiction recovery, teaching ESL and GED training, and caring for the elderly. I admire my parents for always being open to the Holy Spirit leading them to show people their worth.

I'm honored to present this interview with Christine Sneeringer, director of Worthy Creations. We discuss her story of s*xual redemption, coming to Christ as a le***an in a church softball team. She served alongside the late Sy Rogers for 20 years, producing his videos, so we reminisce about Sy. And we cover Christine's new book, "Answers to Gender Madness," reviewing the chapter on do's and don'ts for parents when their child announces a trans identity. There are some great nuggets in this conversation. Be blessed!

This brief exercise is a homework routine you can use to transform outdated schemas (templates for how you feel, believe, and act). In this video, we'll review schema formation and the counteractive and memory reconsolidation approaches to changing schemas, then learn how to practice changing your implicit learning on your own. This schema disconfirmation exercise is an excellent follow-up to the coherence script I previously taught.

Here is a brief script you can use to understand the way you feel, think, and act (even the way you tend to sin) as part of double-looping with yourself (a strategy for gaining understanding and acceptance of yourself). Instead of viewing yourself just as crazy, weak, or depraved, the Coherence Script (which I borrow from Bruce Ecker's Coherence Therapy) helps you compassionately make sense of your experience and choices.

Here's a brief instructional video explaining how to do the Shame-Based Self-Statement (SBSS) Exercise that I learned from Joseph Nicolosi. It's a strategy you can use to double-loop with yourself, which is a way to show understanding and acceptance to yourself when you're facing the shame self-state.

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 s*xuality and then the major factors why there is opposition to Christian s*xual morality and Christian s*xuality 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.

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-s*x 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 s*x and marriage, and yet they oppose therapy to help individuals better align with God's design and destiny for our s*xuality.
