Descriptions:
This episode was a BLAST! We had the very unique and exciting opportunity to interview a Freemason and Mormon, Brandon! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Saints has some distant history of freemasonry and ties within the LDS temple to freemasonry. Though not many members of the church are Freemasons, Brandon happens to be one and has an incredible story to tell. He talks about how both his religion and his association in Freemasonry go hand-in-hand.

Church’s video on Masonry:
Here is the pertinent passage from the Salt Lake Tribune article:
“There is no specific Mormon prohibition of Masonry, but church spokesman Don LeFevre said the church discourages its members from joining it or similar groups.
“‘The church strongly advises its members not to affiliate with organizations that are secret, oath-bound, or would cause them to lose interest in church activities,’ he said. ‘Local leaders have the autonomy to determine whether members who belong to secret or oath-bound organizations should be advanced in the priesthood or called to positions of authority.”’
