Wait... Joe Rogan Found Jesus?
So Joe Rogan—the guy who once said organized religion was a cult with a tax exemption—has apparently had a come-to-Jesus moment. Literally. He told listeners recently, “I’m sticking with Jesus,” and it wasn’t followed by a punchline. Nope. Dude’s dead serious.
This revelation came during a convo with Canadian evangelical Wesley Huff, a guy who’s made it his life mission to convince people that the Bible is totally reliable and not at all a flaming pile of contradictions. After that talk, Huff claims Rogan started going to church regularly, texting him with deep theological questions, and generally dipping his toes into the holy waters of church culture (Christian Post).
Is this real life? Or is this some long game bit we haven’t caught onto yet?
He’d Rather Believe in Resurrection Than the Big Bang
Here’s the kicker. Rogan straight-up said that believing Jesus rose from the dead makes more sense to him than the Big Bang theory (Fox News). I mean... what?
We get it. Cosmic explosions are weird. But choosing zombie Jesus as your science alternative? That’s a plot twist nobody saw coming.
What’s next? Flat Earth and Noah’s Ark boat blueprints?
Honestly, if this is where he’s heading, we’d like to recommend he check out this little tour of God’s dumbest laws before diving too deep into scripture fandom. Because the Book gets wild, and not in a "hug your neighbor" way.
Sliding Into TheoBro Territory?
Now look—we’re not saying Rogan’s fully morphed into a TheoBro. Yet. But he’s definitely been invited to the group chat. The way Christian influencers are treating his Jesus moment, you’d think he just delivered a TED Talk on salvation.
And considering he’s a magnet for “alpha male” fanboys who treat podcasts like scripture anyway... let’s just say we’ve seen this movie before. And we did a whole breakdown on it in The TheoBros’ Holy War. Spoiler: it's less about Jesus and more about control.
The Resurrection of Church Attendance?
Some folks are saying Rogan’s spiritual glow-up is just part of a bigger trend. Gen Z and Millennials, they say, are starting to get into the Bible again, maybe because chaos makes people nostalgic for certainty (NY Post).
We’re not totally buying the “mass religious comeback” narrative. But we did talk about this in our piece on Christianity’s bounce back. TL;DR: it's not really dying—just rebranding. Probably with better Instagram filters and more emotionally manipulative worship playlists.
An Invitation (or a Dare): Read the Bible with Us, Joe
Alright Joe. If you’re gonna say you’re “sticking with Jesus,” that’s cool. But if you’re gonna stick around, maybe do the thing and read his damn book. You know—the Bible? The one full of confusing metaphors, genocide endorsements, and divine mood swings?
That’s exactly what we do on our podcast, Sacrilegious Discourse. Every week, we wade through that ancient mess—chapter by awful chapter—so you don’t have to. But maybe you should. You’ve got the mic. We’ve got the text. Let’s make it weird.
Bring weed. You’ll need it by Leviticus.
