Joe Rogan now attending church

By Sean Toomey–

Joe Rogan – formerly an atheist who preached spirituality via LSD and psilocybin mushrooms – is going to church.

“Joe Rogan and I have had on and off communication since then. I can tell you for a fact that he is attending a church, and that has been a consistent thing,” said Wesley Huff, a rising Christian apologist who became a friend while on the Joe Rogan Experience. “Things are happening.”

Joe Rogan shifts America. As the #1 most-streamed podcast on Spotify since 2020, what he expounds with his straight-forward, no-nonsense, simple question interviews makes tectonic plates move.

Some credit Rogan with winning the election for Donald Trump after the plain-speaking president made sense of all sorts of policies, domestic and foreign, on the Joe Rogan Experience. Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, declined to show up for a Joe Rogan invite.

Joe Rogan fell into comedy in the 1980s and eventually was picked up by the UFC as a hype man because of his background in mixed martial arts. After doing a series of comedy ventures, he found himself in the world of podcasting.

Launched in 2009, the Joe Rogan Experience grew to 14.5M listeners on Spotify and 19.6M on YouTube.

His interview style was a hit. He asked questions like a regular Joe and insisted on no-nonsense answers. You could learn lots from his questions.

As his listenership grew, he began to espouse all kinds of views. A self-described libertarian, he supported same-sex marriage, gay rights, women’s rights, recreational drug use, universal health care, universal basic income, gun rights, and the Second Amendment. As a lover of free speech, he blasts cancel culture (he himself nearly got canceled when he decided to use ivermectin instead of Covid vaccine.)

He offered marijuana to the guests he interviewed.

In regards to faith, Rogan cast himself as an ironclad atheist. In 2018, he called Christianity “mythology with no proof” and mocked the resurrection: “If you have some proof that there was a God, that this God had one son and he made this son come down and get the f***k beat out of him and nailed to a board so that we could all have no sin. Can you show me some studies? Do you have a box of evidence?”

Recently, he had discussions with Jordan Peterson, the famed Canadian psychologist who is a cultural phenomenon himself, and he listened more than mocked. Peterson described Rogan as being on the “journey” towards faith.

Then in January 2025, Rogan invited Wesley Huff, an apologist who recently gained fame for his October 2024 debate against spiritual charlatan Billy Carson, and discussed thoughtfully the proofs for Christ’s resurrection.

Later, Rogan, the former atheist, was complaining that scientists expect adherents to believe in the miracle of the explosion of the Big Bang. What caused the Big Bang? How did the Universe exist as some matter smaller than the head of a pin?

He said the resurrection was more logical. “The difference between science and religion is that science only asks you for one miracle. I want you to believe in one miracle—the Big Bang,” Rogan said. “I’m sticking with Jesus.”
