Joe Rogan, the influential podcast host and comedian known for his past skepticism toward organized religion, is now reportedly attending church on a regular basis, according to religious scholar Wesley Huff.
Huff, who appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience in January for a three-hour conversation focused on Christianity and the Bible, said he has remained in contact with Rogan since their interview.
During a May 20 episode of the Know What You Believe podcast, Huff stated, “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.”
Rogan, who has described himself in the past as “pretty atheist,” has publicly wrestled with questions of faith for years, citing a difficult childhood and spiritual curiosity following the death of his grandfather.

His reported shift comes just weeks after announcing that he quit drinking alcohol to focus on his health.
According to Huff, Rogan has been actively seeking “reliable and trustworthy sources of information regarding Scripture” and is deeply engaged in learning more about Christianity.
Huff called him a “very inquisitive individual.”
Rogan’s interest in spiritual matters has come up repeatedly in recent podcast episodes.

On May 7, during a conversation with TikTok personality Cody Tucker, Rogan questioned mainstream scientific views about the origin of the universe, stating, “I’m sticking with Jesus. Jesus makes more sense. People have come back to life.”
Rogan said he found the resurrection of Jesus more believable than the Big Bang theory.

In his January interview with Huff, Rogan was presented with a replica of Papyrus 52, considered one of the oldest known fragments of the Gospel of John.
The artifact, believed to date back nearly 2,000 years, describes Jesus on trial and is regarded by some as historical evidence supporting biblical accounts of Jesus’ life.

Rogan’s apparent growing interest in Christianity reflects a wider trend, according to Huff.
He cited a resurgence of young people seeking out Scripture and Christian teaching.
“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,” Huff said.
“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.’”

Recent polling from the American Bible Society supports Huff’s claims.
A January 2025 survey of over 2,600 Americans showed a rise in Bible readership, with the percentage of respondents who read the Bible outside of church more than three times a year increasing from 38% to 41%.
That shift translates to an estimated 10 million more Americans reading Scripture.
The report also found significant growth among millennials and Gen Z. Millennials saw a 29% increase in Bible usage between 2024 and 2025, while men reported a 19% increase—narrowing a long-standing gender gap in faith engagement.
Rogan’s own comments on faith have shifted over time.
In a June 2024 podcast episode, he asked musician Kid Rock where he would go if given the chance to travel through time.
“Jesus,” Kid Rock answered confidently.
Because of my Faith, I know Jesus is Real! ✝️

Rogan responded with a brief silence, then said, “That’s a good answer,” adding, “I think the concept of Jesus is absolutely amazing, and if Jesus came here and wanted to visit me, I would be psyched.”
Although Rogan tempered his remarks by comparing his hopes for Jesus’ existence to his desire for Bigfoot to be real, he also stated that he is “very interested in the idea of Jesus being a real person.”
DailyMail.com reported reaching out to Rogan for comment regarding Huff’s statements but did not receive a response.
