Podcast titan Joe Rogan appears to be taking steps toward faith, sharing in a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience that he has been attending a Christian church and finds the atmosphere encouraging.
“It’s actually very nice,” Rogan said when asked about his experience. “They’re all just trying to be better people. It’s a good vibe.”

This comes after several months of Rogan exploring Christianity more openly on his podcast. In January, he interviewed Christian apologist Wes Huff about miracles, the resurrection and the deity of Jesus. Huff later revealed that Rogan has continued the conversation off-air and has now become a regular churchgoer.
In the June 5, episode, Rogan confirmed his church attendance and elaborated briefly when asked what kind of church he was going to: “It’s just a Christian church,” he said, later clarified as a “non-denominational Christian” church.
Rogan, who also shared that he has abstained from alcohol for three months, linked the lifestyle change to improved well-being. “It’s a lot better,” he said. “You feel a lot better… You stop doing it and you’re like, ‘Oh, I feel so much better. Why was I doing that?’”
As one of the most influential voices in media today, Rogan’s growing openness to faith and reflection on personal change is being closely watched by believers and skeptics alike.
