Why Joe Rogan is Changing His Mind on Jesus & Religion

Deep Talks: Exploring Theology and Meaning Making - A podcast by Deep Talks: Exploring Theology and Meaning-Making - Mondays

Joe Rogan, once a vocal evangelist of New Atheist talking points on religion, recently expressed how he yearns for the "just and righteous" Kingdom of God and believes the world "needs Jesus...for real." That's quite a change for Rogan, but his journey is emblematic of a broader shift in attitudes towards religion. In this episode, I'll explain why this cultural shift is happening, and we'll engage with the work of Charles Taylor, Jonathan Haidt, Paul Tillich, and others to help us better understand what religion actually is.
