In this episode, Shaun, Stephen, and James welcome Gaz Taylor, a brand-new Freemason who joined the Craft in a very modern way - through an online application.
Gaz shares how a visit to Rosslyn Chapel sparked his curiosity, how he went down the Freemasonry rabbit hole online, and why he decided to take the plunge and join Ashlar Lodge in Lincoln. From his military background to his passion for service and brotherhood, Gaz’s story perfectly captures the spirit of Freemasonry in the digital age.

This week, we explore the challenging subject of men's mental health.
The episode explores how simple actions, such as actively listening to one another, can create an environment where people feel comfortable talking and may seek help before reaching a breaking point.
It also reflects on how remembrance can serve as a catalyst for change, transforming grief into something constructive and hopeful.
