American wrestler Hulk Hogan, also known as Terry Gene Bollea, was recently baptized at a church in Florida, marking a significant milestone in his faith journey. The 70-year-old wrestling icon shared the news on his social media accounts, posting photos of the event that took place at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Florida.

Hogan expressed his joy and excitement on his social media, describing the day of his baptism as “the greatest day of my life.” He went on to say that his newfound dedication to Jesus has brought him a sense of peace and love, and that he no longer worries or holds any hate or judgment towards others.
The baptism was attended by his wife, Sky Daily Hogan, who was also baptized at the event. A video of the ceremony was shared by Hogan, giving his fans and followers a glimpse into the intimate moment.
Hogan’s journey to this point has been a long and winding one. In a previous post earlier this year, he shared that he had accepted Christ as his savior at age 14. However, it wasn’t until recently that he fully embraced his faith and allowed it to guide him in his daily life.
In the past, Hogan has shared Bible verses on his social media accounts and has even been seen wearing a T-shirt with the popular John 3:16 verse on it, which states: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
I accepted Christ as my savior at 14yrs old, and the training, prayers and vitamins kept me in the game but now that I am one with God,the main event theme of surrender,service and love makes me the Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord… pic.twitter.com/SxcOJJwtRL

Hogan joins a host of other celebrities who have faithfully pursued Jesus in 2023.
Recently, Latin megastar Daddy Yankee, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, told his fans that he was leaving the spotlight to be an evangelist for Jesus Christ.
“All the tools that I have in my possession, such as music, social networks, platforms, a microphone—everything that Jesus gave me—is now for His kingdom,” declared Rodríguez.
Additionally, famous tattoo artist and reality series star Katherine Von Drachenberg, or Kat Von D, abandoned the occult and witchcraft in her life and turned instead to a life with Jesus.
Like Hogan, she posted a video of her baptism on social media and has since given several interviews discussing the spiritual oppression she had been suffering under and how free she now feels in her new life with Christ.
As one of the most recognizable figures in the world of professional wrestling, Hulk Hogan’s public declaration of faith serves as an inspiration to many of his fans and followers. It’s a powerful reminder that no matter where we come from or what we’ve been through, there is always the opportunity for spiritual growth and renewal.
