(LifeSiteNews) — Joe Rogan once again has Christians wondering if he’s about to make a leap of faith and profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The wildly popular podcast host is a fallen away Catholic who has not been shy about expressing disdain for the Church. At the same time, he had often welcomed guests on his show to discuss Christianity, albeit always maintaining a strong level of skepticism toward their arguments.
But over the last year, Rogan has increasingly shown signs that he himself stands at the threshold of faith.
When political commentator Konstantin Kisin told Rogan in a recent podcast discussion that he loves going to church, Rogan said he feels the same way about attending church.
“It’s a bunch of people that are going to try to make their lives better, trying to be a better person,” Rogan said. “The place that I go to, they read and analyze passages in the Bible. I’m really interested in what these people were trying to say, because I don’t think it’s nothing.”
“There’s a lot of atheists and secular people that just like to dismiss Christianity as foolish. Fairy tales. I hear that among self-professed intelligent people, like it’s a fairy tale,” he noted. “I don’t know (that) that’s true. I think I think there’s more to it. I think it’s history, but I think it’s a confusing history. It’s a confusing history because it was a long time ago, and it’s people telling things in an oral tradition and writing things down in a language that you don’t understand, in the context of a culture that you don’t understand.”
“I think there’s something to what they’re saying. I don’t think it’s nothing. I think there’s something to it, and there’s a reason why it resonates with people.”
Clearly, Christianity is resonating with Rogan.
‘Who was Jesus Christ?’
Rogan went beyond suggesting that the teachings of Jesus were the “best” instructions on how humanity should treat each other and allowed that Jesus himself “was the best example of it.”
Rogan said that Christianity is fascinating “because there’s this one person that everybody agrees existed, that somehow or another had the best plan for how human beings should interact with each other and behave — and was the best example of it.”
Still, he wondered what Jesus’ dying on the cross — “supposedly” — for our sins truly means.
“He died on the cross, supposedly, for our sins. It’s a fascinating story. What does it represent though?” he asked. “What was that?”
“Who was Jesus Christ?” Rogan asked.

Rogan’s inquisitiveness, his intellectual curiosity and honesty seem to have led to an increasing belief in the fullness of the gospel message.
His recent remarks echo those of Mel Gibson, who was a guest on his show in January, demonstrating that he has given thought to their discussion.
“I regard the Gospels as history … verifiable history. Some people say, ‘it’s a fairytale, he never existed.’ But he did,” Gibson remarked.
“The resurrection is the one that is the most difficult for people to swallow. That is the one that requires the most faith,” Rogan replied at the time.
“You believe that was a real event?” Rogan asked.
“Yeah, I do,” an emphatic Gibson stated.
Rogan has discussed the resurrection with many other guests, including pro-Trump musician Kid Rock but also Protestant Wesley Huff in December 2024.
“How do you fact-check someone coming back from the dead?” Rogan asked Huff, while admitting that Christ’s teachings have changed the lives of “billions of people.”
Huff cited 1 Corinthians where St. Paul said Christ’s resurrected body was seen by more than 400 people.
During Rogan’s conversation with Rock, he asked, “You think there’s a real Jesus? … What makes you convinced?”
“My faith,” Rock replied.
“I think the concept of Jesus is absolutely amazing,” Rogan responded. “I’m very interested in the idea of Jesus being a real person.”
