    I am a Master Mason from in Johnstown. I was ecstatic to know that Masters #5 approaches the process the same as we do. Although you have some different methods. Still the same. I have been listening to the podcast for awhile and I love it. Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to more content.

  • First Rate Podcast !!!

    Excellent subject matter and very professional sounding. I am from Indiana and really enjoy being able to hear about New York Masonry. One if my favorite facets of the craft is how we can all be striving for the same end goal but every jurisdiction does it o’ so subtlety different. Keep up the good work brother. Cheers

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

America 250 — What The Founders Meant By Happiness
Q: What's the single action that our listener, or in this case, our viewer, can take today to be a good, virtuous citizen?
The panel recommends reflecting on personal values, educating oneself, seeking out original documents and making a regular habit of reading primary sources from different points of view.
America 250 — What The Founders Meant By Happiness
Q: Has technology served as an inhibitor of virtue, or is that an easy excuse for losing these characteristics?
Rosen argues that technology can undermine deliberation by accelerating communication, reinforcing filter bubbles and distracting people from reading. He says personal self-government is essential to political self-government, and that face-to-face discussion and shared reading can help counter faction.
WBs Scott Dayton & Bull Garlington — Make Freemasonry Matter
Q: What is something that you've learned about yourself, that you're working on improving, that you could immediately tie to your time in this craft?
Dayton describes learning self-examination, empathy, and active listening while working through marital strain. Garlington says practicing love helped him take a more objective view and repair an important relationship.
WBs Scott Dayton & Bull Garlington — Make Freemasonry Matter
Q: How can we make Freemasonry matter if we really don't know fully what it means to its members?
Dayton says lodges should help members understand how ritual, values, and education support personal growth and a fulfilling, values-driven life. Garlington adds that members need meaningful work and guidance after each degree.
WB Cedric Jacobson — The Perfect Points of Your Entrance
Q: Where did you first learn about the perfect points and how did they strike you initially?
Cedric explains that in his lodge, lectures were learned from the cipher and memorized, which opened up thoughts about how the perfect points connect to the broader ritual and virtues.
