Samson Society

Friendship and Discipleship for Men

The Samson Society is a fellowship of Christian men who are serious about authenticity, community, humility and recovery - serious, but not grave.

Traveling Companions

Samson guys are traveling-companions on a great spiritual adventure, not grim pilgrims on a death march to personal holiness. We challenge each other daily to believe the incredible news that God actually knows us, loves us, and has restored us to himself. As we follow Christ together, we find our lives progressively interrupted by righteousness, peace and joy.

We are not a church. We are simply one extension of the church universal.

We are not an "accountability group." Instead of living our lives separately and reporting (or lying) about our progress, we try to live our lives together.

We are not a "men's group." Okay, so there are no women, but that doesn't make us a men's group, does it? Please. Most of us have had it up to here with men's groups.

We are not a 12-step group. Many of us attend 12-step groups and are grateful for them, but our addictions do not define us, and we do not segregate our membership by behavior.

We are not perfect. Not even close. We are broken individuals, but in our fractured fellowship we find a foretaste of God's approaching re-creation.

The music, message and testimony was fantastic. My son (16) was there too and enjoyed it as well. Maybe something will rub off?? I pray...


They sang part of Forgiven over and over again at the end:

"When I don't fit in and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere
When I don’t
measure up too much in this life
Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ "

Here's the song:… Continue

Summer

Unbelievably, my summer vacation is half over. I'm not sure where the time went, but one day I think some One will show me. But, I do know where my time hasn't gone, and were some joyful bits and pieces (and some broken pieces) have gone.

First, my time hasn't gone into porn. I now have two months of sobriety under my belt, and I'm more than happy to keep counting that. It hasn't been easy, and I have surely been tempted. I will admit that the sex saturated… Continue

Bill Gates: "Life is not fair. Get used to it."

Perhaps Bill Gates does not know the God I know, love, and serve. Let's be honest: the first half of his statement is true. The Bible says that we live in a fallen world. We don't live in the Garden of Eden.



If life was fair then Ward Cleaver would have been my father. But he wasn't. The man who got the job wasn't even close. I'm not going to fill a lot of space telling the world that my dad was what the original coiner
