Wesley Huff, the Christian apologist who gained prominence after talking about faith with podcaster Joe Rogan, shared behind-the-scenes insights about how “crazy” 2025 has been for him and his family. Huff, the Central Canada director at Apologetics Canada, wanted to “pull back the curtain” and share snippets of his work life and home life from the past year.
On a January episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Huff articulately presented evidence for Christianity to the podcast’s non-Christian host. Since that appearance, which has more than 7 million views, Rogan has been attending church, according to Huff.
Rogan learned about Huff after the apologist debated Billy Carson, founder of 4BiddenKnowledge, in October 2024. With the one-year anniversary of that interaction approaching, Huff said he wanted to share how “lots has changed” in his professional and personal life.
Huff, a married father of four, has a B.A. in sociology and a Masters of Theological Studies from Tyndale University. He is working on a Ph.D. in New Testament at the University of Toronto’s Wycliffe College.
Apologist Wesley Huff on ‘Inbox Chaos,’ Challenges, and Changes
In a 10-minute video posted to YouTube on Aug. 25, Wesley Huff expressed gratitude for all the opportunities and connections that have come his way this year. “It’s been more than I could have imagined,” he admitted. “While overwhelming at times, God’s sovereignty is all over it and undeniable.”
About the “wild” timing of events, Huff said, “I couldn’t have orchestrated any of this…even if I had wanted to.” He added, “It’s clearly and entirely all been a God thing.”
Even before appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Huff was inundated with emails that included “everything from debate challenges, encouragement, testimonies, questions, critiques, threats.” That “inbox chaos” escalated to the point where Huff and an assistant “just could not keep up.”
Two weeks before appearing on Rogan’s podcast, Huff and his wife—who was pregnant with their fourth child—feared she was miscarrying. The baby boy survived, but Huff’s wife had to go on modified bedrest for weeks, with three small children at home.
Then in March, one of those children experienced a “pretty serious medical emergency” that was very frightening and left “a lot of unanswered questions.” The support and prayers from people, including Huff’s church family, are “such an incredible provision and means of grace to us,” he said.
Just before their fourth child was born, the family moved out of a two-bedroom condo into a house that Huff never had a chance to see in person. Shortly after moving in, he headed overseas to film “Can I Trust the Bible?”
Huff, who’s a leader and Bible study teacher at his church, is also trying to finish his Ph.D. dissertation. “I don’t know if I can truly express how hard it is,” he said. “Plus, the accelerated notoriety and opportunity and newfound attention that I was experiencing didn’t exactly lend itself to periods of productive reading and writing.”
