  • The Masonic Roundtable - 0572 - Square of Virtue
    Oct 2 2026

    In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we sit with a question every lodge hearing knows by heart: what does it mean to truly live a virtuous life? The Square of Virtue is more than a symbol on the tracing board. It is a working tool for how a Mason should act when nobody is watching, when the apron is off, and when the Craft's ideals meet the mess of ordinary days. Join us as we talk about living virtuously beyond the confines of the lodge, how the Square should shape our conduct at home, at work, and in the world, and what it looks like when Freemasonry's talk of virtue becomes a daily practice rather than a weekly ritual.

  • The Masonic Roundtable - 0571 - PHA to UGLE
    Sep 25 2026


    In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we follow one Brother's path from Prince Hall Affiliated Masonry into the United Grand Lodge of England, and what it means to change jurisdictions along the way. Recognition, affiliation, and belonging look different when a Mason crosses from one grand lodge world into another, and that journey raises practical and fraternal questions that many traveling Brothers never expect until they face them. Join us as we unpack how one man's move from PHA to UGLE unfolded, what stayed the same in his Craft, what had to change, and what his story can teach anyone navigating recognition, dual paths, or a new Masonic home.

  • The Masonic Roundtable - 0573 - Passions
    Oct 9 2026


    In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we dig into what Freemasonry really means when it talks about the passions, and why so much of the Craft points Brothers toward keeping them in check. Are passions simply strong feelings, or something more specific in Masonic teaching? How do they show up in lodge politics, leadership, ritual, and everyday life outside the tiled door? And are they inherently bad, or only dangerous when they run unchecked? Join us as we unpack what the ritual asks of us, where passion can still serve the Craft, and how a Brother can govern himself without going numb to the things that light him up.
