Church attendance becomes regular for Joe Rogan, Christian apologist says
Popular podcast host Joe Rogan is reportedly attending church regularly and spending more time exploring questions about faith and Scripture, according to a Canadian Christian apologist.
According to CBN, Rogan’s deepening curiosity about Christianity, including his church attendance and vocal skepticism of scientific theories, has drawn attention amid shifting cultural interest in spiritual topics.
Wesley Huff, an apologist affiliated with Apologetics Canada, recently confirmed that Rogan, 57, has been going to church consistently. Huff shared insight into Rogan’s spiritual journey during a February interview on the “Living Waters” podcast.
Ongoing Discussions After January Podcast Appearance
Huff first appeared on “The Joe Rogan Experience” back in January for an in-depth conversation about faith. Since then, he said, he and Rogan have remained in communication "on and off."
According to Huff, Rogan has continued speaking with other well-known figures in the Christian sphere to learn more about biblical reliability and broader moral questions. He described Rogan as someone with a strong drive to understand the foundations of Christianity.
“Things are happening,” Huff explained during the February interview. He noted that Rogan demonstrates a strong intellectual approach to questions about Scripture and the existence of God.
Rogan Questions the Big Bang Theory
Rogan has also taken a surprising turn in his discussions about science, recently expressing doubt about the Big Bang theory. In one episode, he questioned whether it made sense to believe that the universe could originate from a space smaller than a pinhead with no clear cause.
“It’s funny,” Rogan said during a recent podcast conversation, “because people will be incredulous about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but yet, they’re convinced that the entire universe was smaller than a head of a pin and that for no reason… instantaneously became everything?”
This skepticism appears to have led Rogan to contemplate other worldviews, including ideas centered on belief in a Creator. Huff said Rogan now sees figures like Jesus as possible explanations for life’s origins and meaning.
Increased Curiosity About Jesus
Huff described Rogan as “a very inquisitive individual” who is seriously considering the nature and role of Jesus. He said Rogan is willing to engage in what he calls “thoughtful” reflection about Christian teachings.
“I got the vibe that he was mulling over the question about Jesus in a very thoughtful way,” Huff shared, noting that these aren’t surface-level questions but deeper investigations into faith and salvation.
During one of their conversations, Huff told Rogan that Jesus isn’t just a moral figure but someone who makes a unique claim about salvation. He explained that the Gospels describe Jesus as teaching that people cannot achieve salvation through personal effort alone.
Spiritual Conversations Reflect Broader Trends
Rogan's recent spiritual exploration comes at a time when there appears to be a cultural resurgence in interest in religious messages, according to Huff. He pointed to an increase in Bible sales as one sign of this broader trend.
Huff said more people are now asking thoughtful questions about topics like trust in the Bible and the moral arguments for belief. He believes Rogan’s platform may contribute to encouraging others to consider such questions in their own lives.
“We’re seeing what I don’t think is an exaggeration to say somewhat of a resurgence in interest in these topics that we’ve been talking about,” Huff explained during the “Living Waters” episode.
Apologist Emphasizes Need for Personal Salvation
In his discussions with Rogan, Huff made a distinction between viewing Jesus as merely an example to follow and viewing Him as essential to salvation. He said that people cannot be saved by trying to model themselves on Jesus alone.
“What I said to Rogan was, ‘If Jesus is simply a moral example, you just need someone to pattern yourself after; you don’t need someone to save you,’” Huff explained. “And I honestly think the Jesus of history… does not give you that option.”
He added that, in his view, the message of Jesus is that striving on one’s own won't lead to salvation. Huff believes this is a key theological difference that Rogan is currently working through in his reflections.
