    Craftsmen Online Reading Room - Manly P Hall - Symbolism of Freemaasonry

    The Craftsmen Online Reading Room opened on Tuesday, April 30th to discuss Manly P. Hall's "Secret Teachings of All Time," specifically focusing on the “Freemasonic Symbolism” (Pages 576-588) chapter. RW Bill Edwards and Bro. Jason Short were the moderators with RW Cliff Jacobs and WB Joe Martinez as panelists. Our group discussed Bro. Hall's writting and his reputation as a consumate "truth seeker." They also explored the much deeper meanings that are often found in Hall's written work.

    Everyday Leaders - RW Jim MacDuff

    Everyday Leaders - RW Jim MacDuff

    "Everyday Leaders" is a radio talk show hosted by RW Jim MacDuff on Rochester Free Radio. Bro. Jim talks to people who are leading from wherever they are – from the board room to the janitor’s closet; he finds and talks to these everyday leaders. On this episode, WB Michael Arce was the guest on a conversation that focused on leadership principles from John Maxwell, to the 15 Laws of Growth, to Bro. Arce's belief that not only does Freemasonry make good men better — it also makes them better leaders.

    The Immortality of a Soul - Bro. Angel Millar

    The Immortality of a Soul - Bro. Angel Millar

    Freemasonry, an ancient brotherhood steeped in symbolism and tradition, has a fundamental requirement for membership: a belief in the immortality of the soul. This concept lies at the heart of Masonic philosophy, but why? Bro. Angel Millar, author and editor of the Fraternal Review from the California Lodge of Research, joins me as we ask what does it mean for a Freemason to affirm the immortality of the soul, and how does this belief shape their journey within the fraternity?

    WB Hank Griffin, host of the "You've Been Hanked Podcast," and Grand Chaplain for the Grand Lodge of Maryland, is our guest this week. We’ll be diving into a world where faith and fraternity collide: the intriguing intersection of Mormons and Freemasonry.

    Is Freemasonry Dead - Bro. Matthew Brockbank

    Is Freemasonry Dead - Bro. Matthew Brockbank

    While Freemasonry still maintains a dedicated following, membership numbers are significantly lower than their peak in the mid-20th century. Is it changing values, the allure of a digital world, or something darker? We'll delve into the world of Freemasonry, uncover its past, and explore why this once-powerful fraternity is facing an uncertain future. Bro. Matthew Brockbank returns to answer these questions as we assess the future of Freemasonry.
