I had never heard of Wesley Huff before, but this kept popping up on my YouTube algorithm. The 3-hour interview felt like 20 minutes. It dropped yesterday and already has 2.5 million views. Huff is a Christian scholar that focuses on religious texts and ancient languages. This was an outstanding interview if you enjoy ancient history and apologetics (archeological evidence that Christ was the son God). He goes into great detail how the books of the Bible were selected and evidence used to support those selections. They also discussed what the persecution early Christians faced and the miracle that the religion was able to survive (more evidence of the Truth of the Good News).

Excellent, thx. He has an interesting personal story/background:

Quote:
Wesley Huff was born in Multan, Pakistan and spent a portion of his childhood in the Middle East. After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition at the age of eleven that left him paralyzed from the waist down Wes experienced a miraculous recovery that the doctors themselves said they had no medical explanation for. This experience, along with a great deal of study and soul searching in his later teens solidified his interest in the subjects of faith and engaging the beliefs and worldview perspectives of others. He spent his high school years in the Northern Ontarian and currently lives in Toronto, Canada with his wife Melissa, their son Eli and two daughters, Everly and Juliette.

He holds a BA in sociology from York University, a Masters of Theological Studies from Tyndale University, and is currently doing a PhD in New Testament at the University of Toronto's Wycliffe College. For five years Wes worked as a writer, researcher, and speaker for Power to Change - Students (formerly Campus Crusade in Canada) and has made contributions to The Gospel Coalition Canada, being involved in the collective with TalkAboutDoubts.com, a curriculum contributor with Trans World Radio, and written multiple entries (including those on Rastafarianism, Canadian Druze Society, and Kathok Conpa Buddhism) in the Melton's Encyclopedia of American Religions (Ninth Edition, Vol 2: Canada).

Wesley is currently the Central Canada Director for Apologetics Canada and has participated in numerous public dialogues, debates, and interfaith events on issues of faith, belief, and religion across North America.
I haven't listened to the podcast yet but intend to.

It was the best "Christian/Bible" based interview I've heard from Rogan. They really covered a lot. I respect that Joe lets his guests talk.

I try not to get any more excited about celebrities coming to Christ than I do with normal people. But Rogan is clearly searching and he is certainly not the same person he was a few years ago. I do pray he comes to know Jesus.

On another podcast note, huge podcaster Sean Ryan had Lee Strobel on for 3 1/2 hours. Sean is a young Christian and Lee did a great job going into various faith topics.

And Wes embarrassing Billy Carson (former guest on Rogan) is what prompted Rogan having him as a guest.

If you haven't listen to the one when Rogan had Stephen Meyer on (it was referenced in this one too), you should. It was more 'evidence of the existence of God' discussion than examining the claims of Christianity in particular, but I think if you enjoyed this one you'd probably enjoy that one too.

That was a really good one. I was surprised that Joe had him on, but very pleased. I think his eyes are being opened to the truth.

Huff comes across Anti Catholic & doesn't accurately reflect Catholic history

I don't remember him discussing Catholicism in the Rogan interview. What has he said?

I don't remember him say anything about Catholicism. I really enjoyed the way Wes laid out the fallacy of believing that Jesus was a moral teacher/example to follow.

Completely agree with this take. He was practically anti-religion before he came to Texas. It's been cool to see his opinions evolve.
