This week, we look at why a Masonic "Lodge" is also referred to as a "temple" and why it's not called a temple anymore or is it? In this philosophical look at the Temple versus Lodge debate, we'll take apart both terms and see what they mean and how they are interchangeable and maybe not interchangeable--within the greater umbrella of Freemasonry. Then Ill. Bro. Steven L. Harrison stops by—this week, a fantastic journey stemming from the Grand Lodge of the state of Missouri. The One Grand Lodge that gave us more Freemasonry than any other Grand Lodge!  We'll also look at last month's Fraternal Review examining the Leo Taxil Hoax. Finally, we'll wrap it up with a contemplative exercise. Are you out there solving problems and moving toward your goals using a massive force of your intellect? Find out this and a whole lot more. Stay tuned!

This week, we have the author of a four-part series of books. In it, a fictional character, Brother Deacon, a larger-than-life Freemason, extols lessons in Masonic philosophy through stories considered by many to be the contemporary version of the old Claudy Tyler Talks. We'll talk with Brother James "Chris" Williams and find out why he wrote the books, what they mean to him, and some personal stories that are sure to get you right in the feels. Then, we'll have a quick contemplative session on the idea of independence-- alone time, collaborations, what's it all mean? All this is and more!

This week, we talked with a Brother of the Jewish faith about his particular experience in Freemasonry. Is Freemasonry compatible with Judaism? What's it like to join a fraternity that's overwhelmingly Christian, which uses a Jewish text as the foundation for the allegory and being Jewish In the fraternity? This week, we're talking to Brother Sean Rothberg and gaining a unique perspective on the Craft. All this and more. Stay tuned!

This week, how can we adjust our lives to be more Masonic, and connect with the people around us? Is the answer truly in putting down our phones and electronics? Are they truly a plague upon modern mankind? We'll explore this idea in a piece by Darin A. Lahners, where he lays out many of the significant issues with mental health and our dependence on electronics. Then Ill. Bro. Harrison tells us about famous last words--those words spoken by prolific and interesting people throughout history, at the end of their earthly existence. We'll explore the idea of Egregore and Freemasonry, a commonly misunderstood concept. It has as many definitions as you could imagine, including some that are laughable. We'll define it, and you'll get a true sense of what this actually is. And finally, we'll wrap it up in a contemplation on your next steps in life. Reaching the higher self for your greatest good. All this and more!

This week, we get a rundown of what happened at the Midwest Conference of Masonic Education, 2022, in Kansas City, MO. What were some of the ideas passed around from state education officer to state education officer regarding best practices and discoveries within the realm of Masonic education? Then we'll hear, from Greg Knott, who tells us about a recent visit he had to a used bookstore. What treasures did he find? Finally, we'll wrap it up with reflections on being your own teacher--what that means and the duality of such an idea. Truth from within, or teenage angst? Going against the grain. Challenging the status quo. All this and more. Stay tuned!
