JOE ROGAN IS IMACTING MILLIONS FOR CHRIST
Podcast veteran Joe Rogan, once an atheist, is now attending church. His spiritual trajectory mirrors a broader spiritual revival among Gen Z and young men worldwide. Raised Catholic but long agnostic, Rogan is now rethinking some of life’s biggest questions — and his public platform means millions are along for the ride.
As of this week, The Joe Rogan Experience boasts 14.5 million followers on Spotify, making it by far the most popular podcast on the platform. Of course, since Spotify ended its exclusivity deal with Rogan in a multi-year agreement signed last month, the podcast is also now available on other platforms, including Apple Podcasts. The number only accounts for his Spotify audience, but his reach across platforms is staggering. Joe Rogan’s engagement with Christianity is becoming hard to ignore. Once a self-described atheist, he’s now asking serious questions about Jesus, the soul, and Scripture — often in front of millions.
In a recent discussion with Michael Kruger, Daniel Wallace and Michael Horton on the Know What You Believe podcast, Huff confirmed, “I can tell you for a fact that he is attending a church, and that has been a consistent thing.”
Huff, who serves as Central Canada Director for Apologetics Canada, said he’s maintained a line of communication with Rogan since their three-hour conversation on Christianity and the Bible. “He’s a very inquisitive individual,” Huff noted, adding that Rogan has been actively seeking out trustworthy sources on Christianity and Scripture.
Rogan’s personal journey is taking place in the midst of a broader, global resurgence of interest in Christianity — especially among Generation Z men.
“We’re seeing somewhat of a resurgence in interest in these topics,” Huff told the Know What You Believe audience, citing evidence both statistical and anecdotal. “We had young people walking into a Christian bookstore saying, ‘I want a Bible. All my friends are reading this thing.’”
The trend to which Huff referred is measurable. According to Barna’s 2025 State of the Church report, weekly church attendance in the US has risen from 28% in 2024 to 32% in 2025, driven primarily by Gen Z and Millennials. Remarkably, young men are now more likely to attend church than their female peers — a reversal of historic patterns.
Similar growth has been observed in the UK. A Bible Society study titled The Quiet Revival reports that regular church attendance has grown by 50% in the past six years, adding two million new attendees. The most dramatic rise has come from 18–24-year-olds, whose church participation jumped from 4% to 16% — with young men increasing from 4% to 21%.
Australia is seeing similar stirrings, though among an older crowd. McCrindle Research’s An Undercurrent of Faith found that from the 2016 to 2021 Census, more than 784,000 Australians shifted from “no religion” to identifying as Christian. Contrary to assumptions, the growth is not fuelled by immigration but by Australian-born citizens — most significantly among those over 55.
BUMPER TO BUMPER ON THE FREEWAY TO HELL
The power of these incisive lyrics from Petra’s 1981 hit “Angel of Light” is rare in modern Christian music. The existence and influence of Satan and demons are so evident in today’s culture, and yet much of the world and the church are operating as if they do not exist.
Angel of light, I see you glow in the night
But you only bring darkness to my soul
Angel of light, You’re telling me wrong is right
I won’t let your evil take controlThey follow in your footsteps not knowing that you fell
Bumper to bumper on the freeway to hell
You lead them into wrong and you make it look so right
You lead them into darkness and make them think you lead them into light
But I know where you’re going, too bad you’re not alone
If it wasn’t for the real light I might have never knownYou got the clergy working overtime to widen the narrow way
You’ve got politicians everywhere listening to what you say
You’ve got false apostles teaching lies perverting the only way
You’ve got principalities and powers waiting to obey
You’ve got philosophies and vain deceits lying to deceive
You’ve got hate, and greed, ungodly lusts in the deadly web you weave
Somehow you’ve got so many thinking you’re not even there
One look is all it takes to get them blinded by your glare.
AUSTRALIANS TURNING TO CHRISTIANITY
Those turning to Christian faith are not who we might expect – it’s especially older people, the recently widowed, and recently separated or divorced. Sadly, the move is mostly away from Christian identity in outer suburbia and regional areas. However, Australians are still turning to Christianity in large numbers, despite a decline in Christian affiliation. While 85,000 15-24 year olds have moved towards Christianity in the last five years, that’s dramatically down on a decade ago Founder and Principle of McCrindle research, Mark McCrinde, says his report shows a new search for purpose and meaning and asks is “Australia Post Christian or are we now Post Secular?” Plus they compare the findings of the national McCrindle report with the recent Sydney Anglican report on Church attendance. If you’re Australian, it is worth a look. It may help you to pray more wisely for your nation.
POPE LEO’S FIRST PRAYER IS TO MARY
Pope Leo starts his ministry as leader of the Catholic Church with a prayer for special grace to Mary, our God. The translator clearly said, Mary, our God. Did he get it wrong? Maybe he did, but Pope Leo still prayed to Mary, not to our Heavenly Father, who alone can give grace. He also prays to Mary to convert the wicked. This is blasphemy. In this video, Justin Peters looks at every aspect of Pope Leo’s first prayer for the Catholic Church. For me, the fact that it is to Mary makes the Roman Catholic Church a cult.
I have been told that the translator did get it wrong. It should have been Mother of God.
COME TO THE RIVER OF LIFE
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; He utters his voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Psalms 46:1-7
Psalm 46 opens with chaos overwhelming and destroying stability. But, in a sudden shift, verse 4 takes us somewhere else. Instead of the chaos of raging seas, we see a river – calm, controlled water bringing life to the city of God, where God Himself dwells.
Old Testament readers will instantly think back to the waters of life flowing from Eden, where God originally walked with humanity. New Testament readers will also look forward to Revelation 22, and the river of life passing through the new Eden, lined with trees of life.
The river is God’s life-giving blessing flowing into His city, providing calm amid chaos. He promises that His city will never fall (Psalm 46:5).
How good are the Psalms? We can thank David for many of them, and we will be able to do that in the not-too-distant future. The following two scriptures reveal that in the Millennium, David is a prince among the people, and one of his tasks is to enforce the Feast days.
“I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them — My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.” Ezekiel 34:23-24
“The prince shall own the land on both sides of the holy district and the property of the city… on the west and on the east, corresponding in length to one of the tribal portions, and extending from the western to the eastern boundary of the land. It is to be his property in Israel.” Ezekiel 45:7
HOW EZEKIEL MIRRORS THE END-TIMES PROPHECIES GIVEN IN REVELATION
This is a great end-times sermon from Jonathan Cahn. He shows how Ezekiel gives Israel a prophecy of coming judgement that mirrors the prophecy John provides the world in the book of Revelation. It is remarkable how God has given Jonathan Cahn this ability and empowered him to share it with the world in his many books. I was blown away by what he revealed in his first book, The Harbinger and have therefore purchased most of his other books.
I had the privilege of meeting Jonathan in Jerusalem and sharing with him what God was doing in China with the Gatherings. It is amazing how God orchestrates those meetings. I was staying at the Leonardo Hotel in Jerusalem.. The gatherings are organised by the Watchmen for the Nations organisation. A gathering is unlike a Christian conference where there are set times for worship, keynote speakers and a pre-arranged order of events. A gathering is a call to come and worship the Lord while corporately posturing together to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. It is a time of gathering the family of God to move according to Jesus’ prayer in John 17 for unity with one another and with Him.
I was ordering an omelette for breakfast when a voice behind me asked, “Could I have one, too?” I looked around, and it was Jonathan Cahn. Out came, “Jonathan Cahn?” and he said, ” That’s right. I then asked if he was here for the Gathering. He said, No, I am here for a time of rest. I have been ill. I returned to my table and asked the Holy Spirit if there was a reason for me meeting Jonathan. The Holy Spirit made it clear that I was to tell him about the Gatherings. I was reluctant to do so as Jonathan was with his wife and two children. I eventually got the courage and went to their table. I apologised for the interruption but told Jonathan that I believed God wanted him to know about the Gathering that was taking place in Jerusalem. He was gracious enough to let me share more. I then told him about Watchmen for the Nations and the purpose of the Gatherings. What turned out to be the “bombshell” was that of the 3000 people at the conference, more than half were Chinese. Jonathan said, No way. He had no concept of what God was doing in China and was astounded that over 1500 Chinese would come to Jerusalem to pray for and support Israel.
BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECIES AND ISRAEL PROOF JESUS’ RETURN IS NEAR
Jonathan Cahn reveals that modern-day events in Israel and the world prove we are in the prophesied end times leading up to Jesus’ return and the battle of Armageddon. Jonathan has been called the prophetic voice of his generation and is known for unlocking the deep mysteries and revelations of God’s Word. His latest book, The Dragon’s Prophecy, is a must-read, as are his other bestsellers: The Josiah Manifesto, The Return Of The Gods, The Harbinger II, The Oracle, The Paradigm, The Book of Mysteries, and The Harbinger.
REPENTANCE AND SALVATION
What is repentance? Feeling sorrow for our sins. Godly sorrow that leads to life. Turning from all sin. There can be no repentance without totally turning from sin to God. Repentance must come before faith.
As usual, Ray Comfort does a great job in this video of focusing our attention on what it means to become a child of God. A good starting point is Proverbs 9:10.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.” Proverbs 9:10
CHOOSING DEATH OVER LIFE SAYS TRUMP’S PICK FOR NEW SURGEON GENERAL
During an appearance at a U.S. Senate Roundtable on Chronic Disease last year, Dr. Casey Means, Trump’s new pick for Surgeon General, mentioned her education at Stanford University. She contended that the prestigious institution failed to prepare her for the “spiritual crisis” caused by chronic health problems plaguing the U.S.
“I took zero nutrition courses in medical school,” she said. “I learned virtually nothing at Stanford Medical School about the tens of thousands of scientific papers that elucidate [the] root causes of why American health is plummeting.”
In addition to highlighting statistics highlighting a poor prognosis for American public health, she alleged corruption on the part of the organizations widely viewed as valuable resources for combating health problems. “I didn’t learn that 82 percent of independently-funded studies show harm from processed food, while 93 percent of industry-sponsored studies reflect no harm,” she asserted.
“I didn’t learn that 95 percent of the people who created the recent [United States Department of Agriculture] food guidelines for America had significant conflicts of interest with the food industry,” she added. “I didn’t learn that professional organizations that we get our practice guidelines from, like the American Diabetes Association and American Academy of Pediatrics, have taken tens of millions of dollars from Coke, Cadbury, processed food companies and vaccine manufacturers like Moderna.”
“This is a spiritual crisis. We are choosing death over life, we are choosing darkness over light.”
Means called for “a return to courage” as well as a “return to common sense and intuition” and “a return to awe for the sheer miraculous of our lives,” adding: “We need all hands on deck.”
Pray she gets the job. She knows what needs to be done.
