Joe Rogan's church attendance signals growing interest in Christianity
Popular podcaster Joe Rogan is reportedly taking a deeper interest in Christianity and has been consistently attending church services, according to Christian apologist Wesley Huff.
Huff, who serves as the Central Canada director for Apologetics Canada, revealed the development during a recent podcast appearance and noted Rogan’s evolving curiosity and openness toward Christian faith, the Christian Post reported.
Speaking on the Sola Media podcast "Know What You Believe with Michael Horton," Huff stated plainly that Rogan has made church attendance a regular part of his life. This observation came months after Huff guested on “The Joe Rogan Experience” for a lengthy conversation focused on Christianity and the Bible.
Huff shared that their discussion in January seemed to spark continued dialogue between him and Rogan. Since that appearance, they’ve maintained sporadic communication, and Huff believes Rogan’s engagement with religious thought has grown.
“I can tell you for a fact that he is attending a church and that that has been a consistent thing,” Huff stated, emphasizing the sincerity behind Rogan’s new interest. He described Rogan as inquisitive and increasingly open to sources that discuss the credibility of Scripture and matters of faith.
Public Statements Reflecting Rogan's Shift in Thinking
On a May 7 episode of his podcast, Rogan appeared to underscore that development in a conversation with host Cody Tucker. In that discussion, Rogan shared that he finds the resurrection of Jesus more convincing than scientific explanations of the universe’s origins.
Rogan questioned the notion that the universe could originate from nothing. He argued that the idea behind the Big Bang, often cited as the beginning of the universe, does not satisfy his need for a logical explanation.
“It’s funny,” Rogan said, “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...instantaneously became everything?”
Terence McKenna’s Influence and Biblical Conversations
Rogan also referenced the late ethnobotanist Terence McKenna, who previously suggested science asks for “one miracle”—the Big Bang—before offering rational answers. Rogan used McKenna’s line to explain why he finds religious belief more persuasive in some respects.
“Jesus makes more sense,” Rogan said, adding that miraculous events in religious texts, such as people coming back to life, seem less far-fetched to him than scientific assumptions about creation from nothing.
Despite being raised Catholic, Rogan had long identified as agnostic. Over recent years, however, he has increasingly entertained spiritual conversations, both on his podcast and during interviews with guests sharing religious worldviews.
Growing Interest in Christianity Among Youth
Huff highlighted a broader trend he believes is occurring, especially among young people. He claimed there has been a noticeable increase in curiosity around topics like faith, Scripture, and morality.
According to Huff, one Christian bookstore reported a surprising uptake in interest from teenagers. He shared that teens are coming in specifically asking for Bibles, indicating a possible shift in spiritual curiosity among younger generations.
“We have people walking through our doors asking, young people, teenagers saying, I want a Bible. All my friends are reading this thing,” Huff said, recounting what he was told by a bookstore owner.
Recent Podcast Topics Explore Christian Themes
This spiritual trend within Rogan's life has been mirrored by many of the conversations on his show. In a March 2025 episode, Rogan and former swimmer Riley Gaines discussed religious topics like Satan, Jesus, and biblical prophecy.
Gaines, who is openly Christian, spoke about how her faith grounds her, especially amid social controversy and confrontation. She said that her belief in the eventual triumph of good over evil helps her stay calm and hopeful.
“Trusting that, and having faith in that… that’s certainly what keeps me grounded,” she said, highlighting the role of her faith in her resilience.
New Direction Aligns with Broader Social Developments
While Rogan’s spiritual journey is drawing headlines, national data shows a more evenly paced trend. According to a Gallup survey, the religious composition of the United States has remained generally stable over the past five years.
However, Huff views Rogan’s transformation as significant because of his cultural influence. Rogan’s podcast, which has remained atop Spotify’s rankings since 2020, reaches millions and frequently drives public discourse.
Huff remains optimistic about what this shift may mean for Rogan and others influenced by him. He says that engaging with foundational questions of truth and morality is a positive direction for Rogan’s platform.
