Joe Rogan: podcaster, UFC commentator, and now a church-goer?
Rogan has shocked the masses with an unexpected move that probably wasn't on anyone's bingo card this year.
Rogan has openly expressed his criticism of religion and previously revealed that he identifies as an atheist, shaped by negative experiences during his Catholic school upbringing.
"I was pretty atheist. I grew up; I went to Catholic school, when I was very young, for first grade. And I had a really bad experience there. And I was like, 'Religion is bullshit,'" Rogan said on a previous podcast episode with Sebastian Junger.
According to religious scholar Wesley Huff, who appeared on Rogan's podcast earlier this year, Rogan has recently started attending services on a consistent basis, the Daily Mail reports.
Huff mentioned on the Living Waterspodcast that he has kept in touch with Rogan since their three-hour interview, during which they took a deep dive into Christianity and the Bible.
"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," Huff said.
Rogan recently said that the resurrection of Jesus Christ seems more believable than the logic behind the Big Bang theory—but no one saw that coming as a hint at his newfound faith.
Rogan appears to be making major changes in his life, recently revealing that he he's now sober. And he’s not alone in reconnecting with religion, either.
