Joe Rogan starts going to church as faith resurgence gains momentum, Christian apologist claims
According to Christian apologist Wesley Huff, who appeared on "The Joe Rogan Experience" in January, the world-famous podcast host has been attending church "consistent[ly]" since their on-air deep-dive into Christianity and the Bible.
Huff said, "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. And so, things are happening." The public speaker serves as the Central Canada director for Apologetics Canada and made the claim during a recent appearance on the "Living Waters" podcast.
Huff added that he is "very encouraged" by his ongoing conversations with Rogan.
"He's a very inquisitive individual," he said. "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 also pointed to a broader "resurgence in interest" in Christianity—highlighting how Ascension's "Rosary in a Year" podcast briefly overtook Rogan's own show on the Apple podcast charts in early 2025.
Shortly after that dip in the rankings, Rogan invited Huff onto the podcast, one of the most popular in the world.
Huff went on to say that he has observed a growing number of young people seeking Christian faith. He referenced a recent message from a bookstore where teens have been coming in asking for the Bible, reportedly saying "all my friends are reading this thing."
"We had someone who reached out to us recently at Apologetics Canada, who is probably the last bricks-and-mortar Christian bookstore that I've ever heard of. But they said, 'We have people walking through our doors asking, young people, teenagers saying, 'I want a Bible. All my friends are reading this thing,'" Huff continued.
Data backs the trend. According to a new study by the American Bible Society, there has been a rise in Bible users from 38% to 41%, with notable gains among young people and men.
"Millennials saw a 29% increase in Bible use from 2024 to 2025 and men saw a 19% increase, closing the long-time gender gap in Bible use," a press release by the American Bible Society revealed. "In recent years, Millennials and men were among the least likely to use the Bible."
Among Gen Z, Scripture engagement rose from 11% in 2024 to 15% in 2025.
"If the Bible is, you know, becoming popular with teenagers, then something is happening and the Lord is moving," the Christian apologist concluded.

Sean Combs May Need to ‘Dial' Lavish Lifestyle ‘Back' as He Racks Up ‘Massive' Legal Bills: Source
Sean 'Diddy' Combs scored a victory when he was only found guilty of two out of five counts in his high profile trial – but the disgraced music producer is still facing a mountain of debts that could radically affect his lavish lifestyle in the future, according to a source. 'Even though it's looking likely he'll get to keep his assets, that doesn't mean it's smooth sailing from here on out,' a source exclusively dishes to the National Enquirer. 'His legal bills are going to be so massive it's hard to even estimate how many tens of millions he'll be on the hook for with that.' His payments to his lawyers for his criminal case aren't the only ones the hip hop artist has to worry about in the future. Since his September 2024 arrest, Diddy has been hit with dozens of civil suits accusing him of sexual assault, harassment, making violent threats and more. His legal team has repeatedly slammed the lawsuits as a money grab and maintained his innocence. 'Only time will tell what those will cost him, but people are predicting it will be a whole lot,' continues the source. 'He's used to living like a king, private jets, tons and tons of staff, throwing money around like it's nothing. But the reality is he won't have that kind of money anymore so he'll need to dial things back in a big way.' The court of public opinion could also be 'very unforgiving' to Diddy, which could affect his 'earning power' over the rest of his career – even if he manages to dodge a significant amount of prison time, the source speculates. 'Any good advisor is going to be telling him he needs to scale things way back once he's out,' the source adds. 'If he fails to listen and keeps his spending where it was at pre-trial, it could lead to disaster.' Earlier this month, celebrity financial advisor Devin White told the Enquirer that he thinks Diddy's 'Sean John business deals with Macy's and other stores are going to be finished' once everything is said and done. As the National Enquirer reported, Diddy was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution on July 2. He was found not guilty on his sex trafficking and racketeering related charges. He'd previously pleaded not guilty to all charges. Following the verdict, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled that Diddy would not be released on bail as he awaits his sentencing hearing in October. He is set to remain in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. Solve the daily Crossword
