Hall's "Secret Teachings of All Time," specifically focusing on the “Freemasonic Symbolism” (Pages 576-588) chapter. RW Bill Edwards and Bro.

  • "Everyday Leaders" is a radio talk show hosted by RW Jim MacDuff on Rochester Free Radio. Bro. Jim talks to people who are leading from wherever they are – from the board room to the janitor’s closet; he finds and talks to these everyday leaders. On this episode, WB Michael Arce was the guest on a conversation that focused on leadership principles from John Maxwell, to the 15 Laws of Growth, to Bro. Arce's belief that not only does Freemasonry make good men better — it also makes them better leaders.

  • Freemasonry, an ancient brotherhood steeped in symbolism and tradition, has a fundamental requirement for membership: a belief in the immortality of the soul. This concept lies at the heart of Masonic philosophy, but why? Bro. Angel Millar, author and editor of the Fraternal Review from the California Lodge of Research, joins me as we ask what does it mean for a Freemason to affirm the immortality of the soul, and how does this belief shape their journey within the fraternity?

But instead of just marveling at the history, he did something incredible – he turned it into a YouTube sensation called "Secret Masonic History."
