Over the last year, popular podcast host Joe Rogan has increasingly shown signs that he himself stands at the threshold of faith.
(LifeSiteNews) — Joe Rogan once again has Christians wondering if he’s about to make a leap of faith and profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The wildly popular podcast host is a fallen away Catholic who has not been shy about expressing disdain for the Church. At the same time, he had often welcomed guests on his show to discuss Christianity, albeit always maintaining a strong level of skepticism toward their arguments.
But over the last year, Rogan has increasingly shown signs that he himself stands at the threshold of faith.
When political commentator Konstantin Kisin told Rogan in a recent podcast discussion that he loves going to church, Rogan said he feels the same way about attending church.
“It’s a bunch of people that are going to try to make their lives better, trying to be a better person,” Rogan said. “The place that I go to, they read and analyze passages in the Bible. I’m really interested in what these people were trying to say, because I don’t think it’s nothing.”
“There’s a lot of atheists and secular people that just like to dismiss Christianity as foolish. Fairy tales. I hear that among self-professed intelligent people, like it’s a fairy tale,” he noted. “I don’t know (that) that’s true. I think I think there’s more to it. I think it’s history, but I think it’s a confusing history. It’s a confusing history because it was a long time ago, and it’s people telling things in an oral tradition and writing things down in a language that you don’t understand, in the context of a culture that you don’t understand.”
“I think there’s something to what they’re saying. I don’t think it’s nothing. I think there’s something to it, and there’s a reason why it resonates with people.”
Clearly, Christianity is resonating with Rogan.
‘Who was Jesus Christ?’
Rogan went beyond suggesting that the teachings of Jesus were the “best” instructions on how humanity should treat each other and allowed that Jesus himself “was the best example of it.”
