Meet My Husband, George Farmer | Candace Ep 119

I would say that there is definitely an aspect of what I just mentioned, which is kind of that willingness to get up and change things and do things, which is really powerful in America. That is one of the biggest culture shocks. And there are other people who have said the same thing.

I was reading something the other day where somebody who previously lived in Germany moved to America and they basically said, before I moved to America, my father worked in a nonprofit and my mother worked for the federal government of Germany. And so no one in my life and no one that I really knew in my life had ever worked in a for-profit business.

Like everyone had either been subsidized by other people or subsidized by the state. And so when you move to America, like for me, that was one of the hugest things. You just kind of move over here, there's people just doing things the whole time. And it is a culture of activity and entrepreneurial spirit. And so that for me was a huge eye-opener when I moved here. I would also say that

The other big thing, which has kind of faded in my acknowledgement of how revolutionary it is in some ways is just because it's now, I'm now part of that culture in America. So I've become less receptive to how big it is. But I remember how big it is when I go back to the UK is faith. Because in America, faith is a default. It's almost...

It's almost something which people open with in conversations, particularly, obviously, where we live in Tennessee, you will come across people the whole time saying, what church do you go to? And I was listening to a faith-based podcast or I was reading the Bible or something like that. And in Britain, I would argue it is one of the most advanced secular cultures in the world. And

You talk about faith in the public domain in Britain, and people look at you as if you've got five heads. And it's really just very demoralizing. It's quite hostile, really, to actually organized faith. There's a difference between continental Europe and the UK.

Continental Europe has predominantly been Catholic, and there's much more of a kind of hardcore Catholicism in places like France and Spain. Obviously, Italy is completely separate because that's where the home of the church is. But you've got these countries in Europe where there's kind of a hardcore Catholic movement. And so if you say, I go to mass every day, or I

I take my faith life seriously. And you said to one of those people, they would be very receptive to that. And there's a whole branch of society, which is kind of built around preserving the faith. But in Britain, The Anglican Church, which is the state church, is very liberal. I mean, it's incredibly progressive. And as a result, most people have, most of British society have no real faith life.
