An ‘Inquisitive’ Joe Rogan Has Been Attending Church Consistently, Says Apologist Wes Huff

Podcaster Joe Rogan and apologist Wes Huff have remained in contact since Huff presented the gospel as a guest on Rogan’s show in January. Huff recently described “on-and-off communication” with Rogan and is “encouraged” by Rogan’s continued interest in spiritual questions.

Huff was “very encouraged” by Rogan’s curiosity, noting “a resurgence in interest.”

‘Things Are Happening,’ Says Wesley Huff of Joe Rogan’s Continued Curiosity

Wesley Huff is the Central Canada director for Apologetics Canada (AC). He is also working towards his Ph.D. in New Testament from the University of Toronto’s Wycliffe College. As an apologist, Huff has participated in numerous discussions, forums, and debates on all things Christian.

Comedian Joe Rogan hosts “The Joe Rogan Experience,” a podcast reaching millions, especially those in younger generations. Rogan has recorded more than a couple of thousand podcast episodes, asking the tough questions of life and attempting to provide an objective platform.

Rogan and Huff’s friendship started after Huff joined Rogan on Rogan’s podcast. With Rogan having nearly 20 million subscribers, the three-hour discussion about Christianity was viewed by almost seven million people. Rogan asked deep questions, and Huff gave not only historical answers but his own biblical views. The duo discussed the creation of the universe, Jesus’ crucifixion, and Jesus’ resurrection.

“I think, you know, if Jesus is a moral example, it actually misses what I think Jesus actually said about what his purpose was,” said Huff, “in that, you can’t do enough to actually live up to the standard that God holds you to, and so if you keep striving, you’re actually going to wear yourself out and be exhausted.”

Just months after the conversation, Huff said, “Joe Rogan and I have had on-and-off communication since then.”

Huff recently provided an update since his conversation with Rogan. “I can tell you for a fact that he is attending a church and that that has been a consistent thing,” said Huff during a recent appearance on the “AC Podcast.”

“And so, you know, things are happening,” said Huff. He added:

And he’s a very inquisitive individual, and I think for the better in that he’s communicating with me and other people in his life who are influences that can speak into, you know, these issues of reliability and trustworthiness and verisimilitude of something like the pages of Scripture, and where he should and shouldn’t be looking for the information in regards to that.

Huff expressed his own encouragement about communicating with Rogan. “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, even the nitty gritty,” he said.

Rogan has been exploring a variety of topics surrounding Christianity for more than a year. He told Kid Rock that he’d “be psyched” if Jesus wanted to visit him. Rogan also admitted to podcast host Cody Tucker that he plans on “sticking with Jesus” when looking for explanations for miracles. Rogan finds Jesus’ resurrection more believable than the Big Bang theory.
