Apologist Wesley Huff asked for prayers as he prepared to give a VIP tour of the Dead Sea Scroll exhibit at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.

“I’m just about to hop on a plane and head to Washington, D.C., to lead a VIP tour of the Dead Sea Scroll exhibit at the @museumofbible,” Huff wrote in a post on social media. “My colleagues, along with the museum’s Chief Curatorial Officer, Dr. Bobby Duke, will then give a series of lectures related to the Bible, its manuscripts, texts and canon history. We’re also showcasing the museum’s new Dead Sea Scrolls documentary, along with the world premiere of episode 3 of CAN I TRUST THE BIBLE? series.”

Over the last year or so, Huff has shared his faith on some of the biggest platforms, including Joe Rogan’s podcast in an interview that has over 8 million views on YouTube alone. He also appeared on the “Shawn Ryan Show” podcast in February.

Earlier this month, he spoke with podcaster Steven Bartlett on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast. Huff went viral after he graciously shared the gospel with Bartlett and let Bartlett ask tough questions about the Christian faith. That interview has nearly 3.5 million views on YouTube.

“This past season, I have been incredibly privileged to publicly express my personal convictions regarding my faith and study,” Huff continued to share in his post. “I never imagined nor sought out the public platforms that I’ve been able to be part of. That attention has been humbling but also quite overwhelming.”

“Despite being continually labelled ‘the expert,’ I am far from it! I have the privilege to work with genuine experts, individuals whose knowledge and craft surpass mine by country miles,” he admitted. “I am merely a lifelong student gleaning from others and excitedly telling those I have the occasion to share with. Don’t let the podcast titles like ‘number 1 Christian expert’ fool you; I’m pretty low on the food chain compared to those who have the privilege to study formally. I’m not claiming to be the voice of ‘mainstream critical scholarship,’ the consensus of my field, or any other grandiose title; merely the voice of myself.”

Huff concluded his post by asking for prayers for the upcoming tour.

“I would appreciate your prayers for the coming months. Though I’ve posted here and there I’ve been somewhat off the grid lately due to personal and academic commitments that required focused, solitary devotion,” he explained. “I am convinced that so many things have come together solely due to God’s timing and provision. Nonetheless, I have daunting academic and personal commitments approaching that require significant concentration and the removal of distractions.”

As Huff steps into a season of high-profile opportunities like the Museum of the Bible tour, he remains grounded in humility and faith. Let’s keep him in our prayers as he continues to share his convictions while navigating growing responsibilities.
