EP 79 Is Freemasonry Dying or Refining? Robert Johnson, Lodge Health, and Action

Is Freemasonry dying — or is it refining? In this episode of Masonic Muscle, I continue breaking down Brother Robert H. Johnson’s article: “Freemasonry Isn’t Dying, It’s Refining.” Brother Johnson, creator of the Whence Came You? podcast, makes strong observations about the state of the Craft, Masonic decline, lodge health, and what must be done if Freemasonry is going to remain meaningful. This is not the first time a Mason has given us a kind of State of the Lodge Address. The real question is: Are we going to listen this time? This episode solves one Masonic problem: How can Masons move from complaining about the state of the Craft to actually doing the work required to improve it? We discuss: Robert H. Johnson’s article “Freemasonry Isn’t Dying, It’s Refining” the Whence Came You? podcast the state of the Craft Masonic decline and lodge health why honest criticism is not negativity past “State of the Lodge” warnings what Masons must do to make things better why lodges need action, not excuses physical strength and mental fortitude exploring the mysterious origins of Freemasonry one degree at a time Masonic Muscle focuses on helping Masons build physical strength and mental fortitude so they can explore the mysterious origins of Freemasonry one degree at a time.
