Ep. 327 - Wesley Huff, His Joe Rogan Experience, and the Power of God’s Word


Listen Later

Wesley Huff, the Central Canada Director for Apologetics Canada, joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar on the podcast to discuss his experience on the Joe Rogan Podcast and the power of God’s word. Born in Pakistan, Wes spent time on the mission field when he was a child. At 12, he was diagnosed with a condition that doctors claimed would leave him unable to walk, yet God worked and he miraculously regained mobility a month later.

Wes shares how his debate with Billy Carson gained unexpected traction. Having responded to Billy’s claims on social media, he was invited to an impromptu debate. Wes remained kind and clear in presenting the truth, while Billy seemed unprepared. After the debate, Billy reacted poorly, bringing more attention to the conversation. On Christmas Eve, Wes received a direct message from Joe Rogan, inviting him on to his podcast. A week later, he found himself sitting across from Rogan in a natural, free-flowing conversation. Joe seemed genuinely interested in what Wes had to say, and Wes noted that Rogan appeared to be more receptive to Christianity than in the past. He asked Joe what he thought about Jesus, and Joe acknowledged Jesus as a real person and saw value in Christianity.

The discussion shifts to the validity of scripture. Wes explains internal and external evidence, such as name qualifiers in the Bible that align with historical records and the accuracy of geography in the texts. He recommends Scribes and Scripture for those wanting to explore the reliability of the Bible. Oscar points out a shift from outright atheism to a view that sees Christianity as useful, exemplified by Jordan Peterson. While Peterson articulates biblical principles well, he stops short of accepting Jesus as Savior. Wes believes God may be working through Peterson and hopes he will eventually embrace the full truth of the gospel.

Regarding apologetics, Wes emphasizes the importance of faith over intellectual arguments. While evidence is valuable, salvation comes through faith in Christ, not winning debates. Even those who witnessed Jesus’ miracles—like the Pharisees and Roman soldiers—remained unconvinced. Evangelism requires boldness to proclaim Christ, even at the risk of looking foolish. Finally, Wes discusses the canon of scripture, explaining how early Christians discerned which books were inspired. The gospels and Paul’s letters were widely accepted early on, while debates centered on other writings. Over centuries, the early church ensured the canon contained only texts tied to Jesus or His apostles, preserving the integrity of God’s word.
