The Faith of the Fathers, with George Farmer

George Farmer, the Oxford-educated investment banker, social media wizard and GB News board member, is our guest for this 80th episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for the Catholic Herald.

Mr Farmer, husband to the American social media influencer and author Candace Owens and the son of Conservative Party peer Lord Farmer, tells Dr Gavin Ashenden about his journey into the Catholic faith from an Evangelical background. They also discuss the crises facing Christianity and the West in the third millennium.

I so much love listening to Gorge Farmer, he is a amazing man, I am so happy he found candace, because he was just what she needed in this world. It gives me hope that really there is something like divine marriages, something designed by God himself.. I hope to meet both of them someday in this life.

I was a Baptist for twenty years it took me 14 years of studying to convert to Catholicism it was terrifying. I studied between the late seventies to the 90s i converted on the feast of our lady of mt carmel 1993 and i have a strong connection to the local carmalite nuns

Such informstive discussion. Love George so much, he's truly beautiful inside and out. God bless you and your beautiful family, expecially the great Candace Owens!!

The potential demonic interference with the audio when Dr. Ashende asked George Farmer about his thoughts on whether another evil force could be at play today had me smiling. Satan knows his enemy.

I found George to be eloquent, measured, coherent, and highly understandable. I hope he continues to try to stay out of politics and focus on the only "party" that truly matters (in this life and the next)!

I also sincerely hope he's considered writing a book/books. I think many people would be interested. His take on the beginnings and falsehoods of Anglicanism, perhaps? Cheers, thank you, and God bless!

Gavin is such a capable and enthusiastic interviewer, able to converse intelligently and engagingly with many different people on a myriad of topics

[ariespat]

I agree with everything Mr. Farmer said. Excellent interview....

[maciekbe]

Came here from Candace, you're just as wonderfully articulate as her! Have you thought of making a channel of your own, George?

[dougmoore]

In America here and story is another version later in life also, but finally found myself home in the Catholic Church!

[johntaaffe]

The quote from George. "Freedom of speech is the right to persue truth"

[paddyearly]

Such an exciting interview🙏
If our Catholic Bishops had even half the insight of both of you we would not be in such an existential crisis!
The wonderful thing is that truth cannot be subverted and will eventually be triumphant🙏

[wendyharrap]

Thank you gentlemen for a very interesting discussion! 😊

[darmat]

[SepiaSerenade]

Truly unique and fascinating interview. Thank you.

[anjam.rommel]

I really do appreciate the conversations with Mr. Farmer, I woudl hope for much more content from his side about not necessarily his religious path/spiritual journeys, but particularly his bible studies and his readings of the texts. His critical approach for his unfoldings of the biblical texts and the fragments f.e. always rejuvenating his faith, his passion for the ultimate passion. Thank you for this interview. Warm-hearted regards.

[anita-qqiw]

I'm so glad God sends us men like you, we in the west definitely need true spiritual teaching. Thankyou.

[MrPeach]

St Thomas More and Bishop John Fisher are overjoyed for these two.

Brilliant conversation! On the Freedom topic, I’m reminded of two quotes from two Americans: John Adam’s said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people - it is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Lastly, Father Mike Schmitz said, “ Freedom is not doing what you want, but doing what you ought.”
