Once paralyzed and miraculously healed — now he's sharing the gospel with Joe Rogan



When Christian apologist and Central Canada director for Apologetics Canada, Wesley Huff, was just a child, he woke up from a nap to find his legs were paralyzed and couldn’t move.

Huff was ill with the flu, and his body’s immune system reacted by attacking the nerve endings at the base of his spine instead of the flu itself.

“The paralysis itself was instantaneous, and they said, ‘Sorry, this is just what it’s going to be, you’re never going to be able to walk,’” Huff tells Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable.” However, after installing a ramp at his family home and preparing for a life of paralysis, everything changed again.

“There wasn’t one instance that I could necessarily point to where someone prayed over me, and that’s what felt different. I think it was much more organic than that, in that I literally woke up and couldn’t feel my legs, and then I woke up, and I could feel my legs,” he explains.


Now, Huff, a firm believer in the word of God, has skyrocketed to viral fame after a conversation between him and atheist Billy Carson ended in Carson sending Huff a cease and desist letter.

“Billy was really not happy with the way that he had been debunked,” Huff tells Stuckey. “He had been pretty careful to not put himself in a situation where he could be called on the silly things that he was saying.”

Carson sent Huff a cease and desist letter, but Huff notes that it was “pretty baseless.”

“I promptly that day made a video where I screenshotted it, put it online, and basically said, ‘Losing a debate is not legal grounds to litigate, but I will comply with all of your terms and conditions if you decide to run it back, and we do this thing in person again,’” Huff explains.

This exchange caught the attention of Joe Rogan, who has had Carson on his podcast before.

“One thing led to another in a way that I could never have predicted, and Joe Rogan eventually did reach out on Christmas Eve by Instagram DM and simply said, ‘Can you be here by December 30?’” Huff tells Stuckey.

“The one part that stood out to me,” Stuckey says, “that Billy Carson claimed, ‘Oh, the crucifixion didn’t really happen, Gospel of Barnabas,’ and that was one question that Joe Rogan asked you, like, ‘Isn’t it possible if we believe that the resurrection happened, isn’t it possible that he just didn’t die and that he almost died, but then he woke up and that he walked around and everyone thought he rose from the dead?’”

“I referenced a JAMA article to Rogan,” Huff explains, “the Journal of the American Medical Association, where there was an investigation done by medical professionals and historians on looking at the description in the Gospels about coming up with a conclusion as to how Jesus may have died medically, and the conclusion was undoubtedly, ‘Well, he did die, so there’s no qualms about that.’”

Can we really trust Mark Zuckerberg?



Mark Zuckerberg is a name synonymous with that self-righteousness that defines Silicon Valley. However, in recent times, he has undergone a rather unexpected metamorphosis. The 40-year-old now rocks a chain, a full head of curly hair replacing his signature Caesar cut, and a deep tan. To top it off, he’s even wearing a smile. Finally, it seems like someone toggled his humanity settings.

Maybe all those hours in the dojo have served as a metaphorical punch.

Once the poster boy for woke paternalism, dictating our digital morality with the precision of a helicopter parent tracking a rebellious teen, Zuckerberg now positions himself as a champion of free speech and common sense. His recent shifts leave us with an important question: Is this transformation genuine or just a calculated act of self-preservation?

Eyebrow-raising antics

Take, for example, his budding bromance with Dana White. Adding White — a no-nonsense symbol of rugged masculinity and bare-knuckle capitalism — to Meta’s board feels like either a masterstroke of authenticity or a painfully transparent PR stunt. Around the same time he shook hands with White, Zuckerberg dismantled Meta’s fact-checking services in favor of a community-driven model similar to X and scaled back several DEI initiatives. These shifts have left critics across the political spectrum baffled, though for vastly different reasons. The left is asking whether he’s lost his mind, while the right is wondering if he’s finally found it.

The confusion is understandable. For nearly two decades, Zuckerberg positioned himself as the self-styled arbiter of truth and master of centralized control. Now, he’s rebranding as a proponent of decentralization, shifting from policing the people to letting the people police themselves.

Zuck 2.0?

Zuckerberg’s recent 2.5-hour discussion with Joe Rogan showcased a new persona — one that lamented the dearth of “masculine energy” in American workplaces. But what does this even mean?

Again, important questions need to be asked.

Is it a rallying cry for a return to hard-nosed, stoic pragmatism or merely a desperate attempt to curry favor with Rogan’s sprawling libertarian audience?

While it may seem otherwise, Zuckerberg’s transformation isn’t without context. His pivot toward jiu-jitsu — and the martial arts culture that prizes perseverance, meritocracy, and humility over virtue-signaling — marks a symbolic departure from his earlier ethos. Zuck has waxed lyrical about his newfound passion, and it seems genuine; he even clinched a win in a legitimate competition. In 2023, he took home the gold in the Nogi Master 1 White Belt Featherweight Division and claimed silver in the Gi Master 2 White Belt Featherweight Division.

Rogan’s post-interview commentary on Theo Von’s podcast was particularly telling. In short, Rogan argued that nothing transforms a soft, sniveling snowflake into a rational libertarian quite like jiu-jitsu. He has a point. In the unforgiving world of combat sports, there’s no space for curated narratives or performative outrage — only the raw reality of outworking your opponent or getting choked out. It’s Darwinism distilled: predator or prey, eat or be eaten.

Having spent years in boxing and Muay Thai gyms, I can vouch for the brutal clarity that comes with physical confrontation. A punch to the face has a funny way of shattering illusions, forcing you to confront reality head-on. Maybe, just maybe, all those hours in the dojo have served as a metaphorical punch — a wake-up call for Zuckerberg. If so, it’s a long-overdue reckoning with the fallout of his policies and the ideological echo chambers his company helped create.

From Meta to MAGA?

But let’s not hand Zuckerberg a black belt in authenticity just yet. Skepticism is warranted. In fact, it’s essential.

His recent statements — from defending free speech to decrying ideological conformity — might signal a genuine shift. Or they might just be the calculated moves of a CEO seeing which way the political winds are blowing (right, so very right). With figures like Elon Musk charming both Wall Street and Main Street, Zuckerberg’s pivot seems like a calculated attempt to curry favor with the new administration. The tech bro is many things, but he’s certainly not stupid.

There are, however, reasons for cautious optimism. If Zuckerberg’s jiu-jitsu journey has truly instilled a respect for merit and hard work, this could herald a long-overdue recalibration of Meta’s priorities. Imagine a future in which the company genuinely champions free expression and fosters a marketplace of ideas instead of reflexively bowing to the demands of vocal activist groups. It’s a tantalizing prospect, but one that requires more than a few podcast sound bites to actualize.

Moreover, Zuckerberg’s recent shift aligns with broader societal currents. People are fed up. There’s a growing backlash against the overreach of woke ideologies, particularly in corporate environments where diversity initiatives often devolve into box-ticking exercises. By championing skill and competency, Zuck could frame himself as a leader ready to challenge the status quo. It’s pathetic, I know. But that’s how low the bar has fallen.

Another factor to consider is Zuckerberg’s relationship with public perception. For years, he’s been seen as a robotic overlord, an archetype of the out-of-touch tech elite. Remember the infamous clip of Zuckerberg awkwardly declaring, "I like to smoke meats"? It cemented his title as tech’s king of cringe. Meant to humanize him, his alien-like delivery only fueled memes and highlighted his inability to connect with real people. Now, with his dojo sessions and sudden embrace of masculinity, Zuck seems to be crafting a more relatable image — and surprisingly, it’s working.

But can we really trust him?

That depends on the consistency of his actions. If Zuckerberg’s transformation is genuine, we should see real changes in how Meta operates — perhaps a platform less eager to censor dissent and more open to fostering true dialogue. If it’s merely performative, a fleeting nod to the cultural zeitgeist, it won’t be long before his carefully crafted image begins to crack.

Tim Walz's daughter says women shouldn't date men who listen to Joe Rogan; rising TikTok star DESTROYS her



Kaylie Guerrero was born to be a conservative social media star.

Daughter of the late professional wrestler Eddie Guerrero, Kaylie attended Trump’s first inauguration in 2017 on a scholastic scholarship at the age of only 13 and became valedictorian of her high school. Now, she’s clapping back at leftists, like Tim Walz’s daughter, online.

“I don’t know how you have the largest podcast in the world and are able to just lie — and put out misinformation and straight up lies on your platform,” Walz said about Joe Rogan in a video she posted to social media, where she also encouraged women not to date men who follow Rogan on social media.

“Eddie Guerrero’s daughter encourages girls to only date men who follow Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, and the Tates on social media,” Kaylie wrote in protest.


Alex Stein of “Prime Time with Alex Stein” is impressed with the rising star, who tells him that thanks to her grandfather, she grew up hearing Alex Jones and Bill O’Reilly on the radio and television.

When COVID-19 hit, she was discriminated against for her decision not to get vaccinated.

“As I said, I’m valedictorian. I worked my entire life for that title, and guess what? I couldn’t go to any school in the entire country without getting vaccinated, which I was not willing to do,” Guerrero tells Stein.

“We can only get into so much, ‘cause YouTube will censor us, but obviously, we know that with no long-term testing, and just the rollout of it, to make young kids have to take it to go to school for me is a crime. It’s disgusting, and it’s ridiculous, and I’m sorry you had to go through that,” Stein says.

When it comes to new friends, Republicans should trust but verify



The enthusiasm surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration last week highlighted the breadth and diversity of the president’s coalition. Among those attending were American technology leaders, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg. However, conservatives should hesitate before fully welcoming these figures into the America First movement.

While the GOP rightly celebrates the powerful allies surrounding President Trump, the party must uphold its foundational conservative principles. Republicans should avoid capitulating to the liberal ideologies often espoused by the tech industry and should not overlook the past actions of these business leaders.

To prove their political transformation is genuine, tech leaders need to take meaningful steps to counter the decade-long vilification of President Trump and his supporters.

Zuckerberg, who once sported hoodies but now discusses “masculine energy” on Joe Rogan’s podcast, allowed his Facebook platform in 2021 to bow to Biden administration pressures and censor dissenting opinions on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Similarly, Cook’s Apple Newsfeed, Pichai’s Google search engine, and Bezos’ Washington Post played roles in suppressing critical information. Their actions contributed to the promotion of draconian lockdowns. These lockdowns, in turn, enabled widespread vote-by-mail, which, according to MIT’s Election Data and Science Lab, has been linked to higher rates of fraud compared to in-person voting, even among scholars who generally view election fraud as rare.

Worse, Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, personally contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to an organization that provided ballot drop boxes to facilitate the 2020 election. Ninety percent of those were in Democrat-leaning counties.

To his credit, Zuckerberg has since admitted to mishandling the public health crisis. The young billionaire publicly rebuked the Biden White House for launching its censorship campaign against Facebook, but he didn’t have to succumb.

And let’s not forget how Big Tech suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story. The Washington Post, whose slogan was “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” also cast plenty of shade on the New York Post’s reporting of “Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop.”

It's also worth remembering that in 2021, Apple and Google removed the social network Parler from their app stores and Amazon threw it off its cloud web hosting service. The corporations claimed that the platform, founded as a free-speech alternative to the censorious, pre-Elon Musk Twitter, was responsible for spreading violent content and contributing to the “insurrection” on January 6. The move left hundreds of thousands of conservatives without a virtual home.

Before millions of disaffected Democrats joined Trump’s cultural movement, conservatives watched in frustration as the “very fine people” lie from Charlottesville was allowed to circulate unchecked online. Technology leaders were too focused on elevating the MeToo and Black Lives Matter narratives to counteract what could have been easily debunked with a straightforward analysis of Trump’s actual statement.

Today, identifying as a common-sense conservative may be considered cool, but not long ago, Republicans were dismissed as backwater bumpkins and ostracized in social circles. It’s fair to say that major tech companies contributed to the public prejudice against conservatives through their platforms.

While Zuckerberg and Bezos have distanced their companies from the divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion framework that dominates woke corporate culture, companies like Apple and Microsoft are expanding their DEI programs. They claim these initiatives foster a “culture of belonging” and promote inclusivity.

To prove their political transformation is genuine, tech leaders need to take meaningful steps to counter the decade-long vilification of President Trump and his supporters. Incorporating America First policies into their corporate practices would be a good start.

For instance, instead of manufacturing iPhones in China, Apple CEO Tim Cook could explore plans to build an Apple plant in states like Michigan or Nevada. A city such as Detroit, which has one of the highest unemployment rates among major U.S. cities, could greatly benefit from the economic boost an Apple facility would provide.

Similarly, many American merchants selling on Amazon have seen their sales stagnate due to the influx of counterfeit, low-cost Chinese products on the platform. To support U.S. businesses, Jeff Bezos could take action to prevent Chinese sellers from undercutting American entrepreneurs.

Conservatives are compassionate, kind, and tolerant people, but expanding our coalition shouldn’t require compromising core principles. Nor should it mean quickly forgetting the criticism and attacks we endured from those who now want to align with us. While we can welcome their change in rhetoric, we should also hold them accountable to back their words with real actions.

Is Joe Rogan's podcast becoming a platform for Christian truth?



Something beautiful is happening on "The Joe Rogan Experience."

One day after speaking with Bible scholar Wesley Huff for more than three hours, Joe Rogan released an interview with Hollywood legend Mel Gibson, a lifelong Catholic. During their conversation, Gibson discussed his forthcoming movie on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a sequel to Gibson's blockbuster film "The Passion of the Christ."

The fruits of the woke experiment have been laid bare.

At one point, Rogan asked Gibson whether he believes the resurrection is a "real event," prompting an unequivocal response.

"I regard the Gospels as history," Gibson said. "It's verifiable history. Some people say, 'Well, it's a fairy tale. He never existed' — but he did. And there are other accounts, verifiable historical accounts outside the biblical ones, that also bear this up that yes, he did exist," Gibson said. "And the other aspect of that is that all the evangelists, the apostles, who went out there, every single one of those guys died rather than deny their belief, and nobody dies for a lie. Nobody. So that's part of what I'm doing — showing nobody dies for a lie.

"Who gets back up three days later after he gets murdered in public? Who gets back up under his own power? Buddha didn't do that s**t," Gibson said.

What Gibson said is true.

First, no legitimate historian doubts that Jesus existed or that he was crucified.

Second, non-Christian ancient writers — like Roman historian Tacitus and Jewish historian Josephus, among others — provide early corroboration to the fact that Jesus of Nazareth existed and was crucified.

Third, historians agree that some life-altering event happened to Jesus' disciples such that very shortly after Jesus' crucifixion, they went and proclaimed to the ends of the earth that Jesus was, in fact, the crucified Jewish messiah and was resurrected. Christians, of course, believe that "life-altering event" was the resurrection itself! And as Gibson highlighted, the disciples believed so strongly in the truth of Jesus and his resurrection that refused to deny it — even unto death.

The significance of what is happening on "The Joe Rogan Experience" cannot be understated.

Not only is Rogan broadcasting to his tens of millions of listeners truths about Jesus and Christianity via Huff and Gibson, but Rogan himself appears to be shifting his attitude toward Christianity.

In the early years of his podcast, Rogan repeatedly attacked Christianity and followers of Jesus.

In one clip, he outright calls Christians "dumb" and suggests anyone who adopts the Christian worldview is not intelligent. Rogan also promoted debunked claims about Christianity, has suggested Christianity is not evidence-based, and once even appeared to mock the resurrected Jesus as a "Jewish zombie" while referring to Christianity as "nonsense" and "old fairy tales."

But over the last several years, as he has spoken with Christians, Rogan appears to have softened his views or outright rejected his past positions altogether.

Now, Rogan acknowledges that "intelligent" people who dismiss Christianity and religion wholesale are misguided, telling Aaron Rodgers, "We need Jesus. I think for real." He even appeared to agree with Jordan Peterson's statement that the Bible is "way more true than just true," while appearing to soften his view in other interviews that Christianity and science are incompatible.

What is going on?

For years, Joe Rogan was known for his skepticism of religion and Christianity in particular. As older episodes of his podcast show, he regularly dismissed Christian truth claims and mocked followers of Jesus.

But his podcast — and Rogan himself — have clearly evolved. Now, Rogan listens to Christians and their claims about the world with openness and humility, often affirming their validity. In his conversation with Huff, for example, Rogan even acknowledged that Christianity "does work" and "is true."

On one hand, Rogan's attitude toward Christianity may be changing because he is interacting with intelligent Christians and articulate thinkers sympathetic to Jesus. These guests present Christianity not as a "fairy tale" and a blind religion that follows a "Jewish zombie," but they give intellectual weight to Christianity, showing how it is a religion rooted in history, truth, and reason. The result is that Christianity is presented as authentic and genuine, principles that Rogan values and respects.

On the other hand, Rogan is living through the same cultural moment that all of us are experiencing.

For decades, our culture has promoted secularism and post-modern progressivism as truth, producing a society of hyper-individualism and self-actualization. Anti-Christ progressivism promises the Kingdom of God — without God. Instead, every person gets to be their own god, deciding for themselves what is "good" and "evil."

But the fruits of the woke experiment have been laid bare. As Genesis 3 warns, when humans reject God and act like their own god, the result is chaos and destruction — and ultimately death.

Is Rogan on a journey that ends with him bowing his knee and confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord? Only time will tell. But what is clear is that Rogan is curious and open to Christianity. The result is that tens of millions of listeners — a significant number of whom are likely not Christian — are inadvertently being exposed to Christian truth.

In other words, faithful Christians are planting seeds, and we can trust God that his harvest will be bountiful.
