| 6/26/26 | ![]() The Masonic Roundtable - 0560 - The Grand Masonic Experiment | In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we delve into the foundation of a nation with The Grand Masonic Experiment. We explore how the early builders of the United States—men like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and numerous other founders—drew upon the principles, values, and architectural symbols of Freemasonry to construct a brand new republic. Our Knights discusses the alignment between Enlightenment philosophy, Masonic ideals of liberty, equality, and toleration, and the literal formation of American governance. Join us as we examine whether the birth of the nation was an intentional application of the Craft's blueprint, and how those foundational values continue to challenge and inspire us today. | — | ||||||
| 6/12/26 | ![]() The Masonic Roundtable - 0559 - Portable Education | In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we pack our bags and empty our pockets for a look at Masonic Traveling Necessities. Whether you're heading across the state or to a foreign land, being a "traveling man" requires more than just a map. We go round-robin to share our personal Masonic EDC (Every Day Carry), from the "can't-leave-home-without-it" dues cards and travel certificates to the practical gear like apron cases and letters of introduction. We also dive into the quirks of visiting historic halls, including our favorite tips like bringing a ground-to-no-ground plug adapter for those beautiful (but electrically ancient) lodges. Join us for a gear-focused conversation on how to be prepared, respectful, and ready for light, wherever your journey takes you. | — | ||||||
| 6/5/26 | ![]() The Masonic Roundtable - 0558 - Short Attention Spans | In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we tackle a defining challenge of our modern era: Masonry and the Cultural Decline of Attention Spans. We live in a world dominated by rapid-fire algorithms, endless scrolling, and instant gratification, which are fundamentally altering our ability to focus. Our panel explores the traditional, long-form practices of the Craft, such as memorizing dense ritual, sitting through extensive business meetings, and engaging in deep philosophical contemplation, and asks where these ancient methods serve as a vital gym for strengthening the mind's attention. We also debate the critical balance of where the fraternity must adapt to engage a more distracted world without diluting the substance that makes it valuable. Join us for a timely conversation on maintaining depth in a shallow digital age. | — | ||||||
| 5/22/26 | ![]() The Masonic Roundtable - 0557 - What's Next for a Past Master? | In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we explore the profound transition that comes when a leader steps down from the East: Adjusting to Life as a New Past Master. We delve into the sudden change of responsibilities, moving from the intense daily demands of running a lodge to the sudden quiet of the back benches. Our panel discusses the psychological shift of handing over the gavel, the importance of supporting the new line without micromanaging, and how to find a renewed purpose within the Craft. Join us as we share personal insights on how to navigate this milestone with grace, humility, and a continued commitment to the labor of the lodge. | — | ||||||
| 5/15/26 | ![]() The Masonic Roundtable - 0556 - Prompt Engineering Your Lodge Experience | In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we explore the cutting edge of the digital age with Prompt Engineering Your Lodge Experience. We discuss how real-time generative AI can be utilized as a modern "working tool" to enhance various aspects of our fraternal life, from streamlining administrative tasks to deepening our educational research. Our panel examines the practical applications of AI in crafting engaging presentations, organizing complex schedules, and even generating thought-provoking prompts for lodge discussions. Join us as we consider the balance between traditional methods and new technology, and how the art of the "prompt" can help us build a more efficient, informed, and connected brotherhood in 2026. | — | ||||||

| 12/19/25 | ![]() The Masonic Roundtable - 0539 - What to Expect When Your Expecting Part 3 | This week, we sit down with Darin A. Lahners to explore the beginnings of his well-known series, What to Expect When You're Expecting: Worshipful Master's Edition. Drawing from his original reflections on preparing for the East, Darin discusses the nerves, doubts, hopes, and early lessons that shaped his first journey as Master. We trace the foundation he laid in that first piece (learning to relax, communicate, believe in oneself, plan with purpose, and invoke the blessing of Deity) and look at how those themes continue to resonate across his later writings. This conversation offers a candid look at leadership, expectation, and what it means to take on the Oriental Chair for the first time. | — | ||||||

| 11/21/25 | ![]() The Masonic Roundtable - 0536 - Thanksgiving's Masonic Secret | Thanksgiving carries warm traditions, shared meals, and a sense of gratitude, but this week we explore a lesser-known angle. Is there a hidden thread connecting the holiday to Masonic values or early American Freemasons who shaped the culture around it. We look at the symbolism of gratitude, the role of reflection in our craft, and the surprising ways that, without the Freemasons, Thanksgiving wouldn't exist! | — | ||||||
