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.

Great Podcast I found

http://www.104podcast.com


The link takes you to a fantastic site by a brother named Jeff Fisher. He has a big following, and in case you haven't run across him in your recovery, I wanted to share it.



He does two 10 minute podcasts a week on a different topic relating to addiction and recovery. You can also find it in iTunes under Top Tips for Sexual Purity.

What I have

“Except a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it abides alone”



So I must die to what I want when what I want is keeping me isolated and alone. By letting go of what I am desperately grasping at and deep down know that I
