What I Do​

I share what excites me about the Catholic Faith in a variety of ways. While that is primarily in speaking at events, there are several other resources and ways to partner available.

I Speak.

Keynotes, Workshops, Missions, Retreats, Family Night, Event MC, School Assemblies… No crowd is too big or too small.

I Teach.

Through podcasts, writing, booklets and catechetical materials, I am passionate to share what excites me.

I Design.

When I can’t find the resource I’m looking for, I create it… Architecture booklets, holy day social media templates, and much more…

Need An Engaging Presenter?​

I speak at events of all sizes and to all age groups. When the opportunity presents itself, I love working in all-family settings. There are few presentations that engage all ages well, and I believe this is one of the mission fields God has set me in. That said, I would also be honored to present on the more sobering topics to an adult audience.

My Podcast

The Saints are much more than a 2-dimensional holy card, perfect from the moment of their creation. On the Cannonball Podcast we explore the personalities and mysteries of the Saints of the Catholic Church, and ways we collaborate with them here and now in building the Kingdom of God. Brad Farmer and Br. Jude Emmanuel of the Franciscan Capuchins guide you through their stories and illuminate the possibilities open to all of us.

Catholic Celebrity Endorsement

“Brad shares, not only from years of honing his craft as a presenter, but from personal depths of the pain and joy of being a follower of Jesus while *juggling* the complexity of life. Relatable. Engaging. Profound. Book him for your conference. You won’t be sorry.”

Chris Stefanick, Real Life Catholic
