    Effective leadership is the backbone of any successful Masonic Lodge.

    WB Ted Cross — The Science of Persuasive Leadership
    2026/05/11
    Leadership is one of the least talked about benefits of Freemasonry. In his presentation: "Convinced: The Science of Leadership,” WB Ted Cross explains that leadership is the ability to convince others to act. He moves beyond basic management, using research in behavioral economics and psychology to show how leaders win hearts and minds.

  • Bro. Garrett Pottmeyer — Lodge Education That Matters

    Bro. Garrett Pottmeyer — Lodge Education That Matters
    2026/05/04
    Is your Lodge's Masonic education program truly providing Light? Or does it end with a monotonous reading from the ritual book? For many Masons, the deep, transformative promise of the Craft gets lost in the routine repetition of words without an exploration of their meaning. In this episode of Craftsmen Online, we talk with Brother Garrett Pottmeyer, Senior Warden and Lodge Education Officer of Grants Pass Lodge No. 84 in Oregon. Garrett is revitalizing his Lodge’s educational experience drawing inspiration from the work of W. L. Wilmshurst's classic "The Meaning of Masonry" and the practical wisdom of Kirk MacNulty's "Working the Way of the Craftsman."

    2026/04/27
    Nothing tops when you connect with a Brother who shares the same passion for exploring a Masonic symbol. WB Cedric Jacobson walks us through Freemasonry's most profound and layered symbols: The Point Within a Circle. Bro. Cedric takes us deeper, moving beyond the surface-level explanation to reveal a deeper framework that connects the Mason to the celestial cycles of the sun, the patronage of the Holy Saints John, and the Great Architect’s divine Geometry.
