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.

As this world brings yet another pain filled day Where grief, like still water, runs deep Our Liberator promises us a hope TheHope that never sleeps. Still, we question, what price? Why now, why here, why this?… Continue

First Blog

First blog of many, Lord willing...maybe this will prod me to think about where God is leading me. 2 Tim 2:14- ..."Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen." How often does the body of Christ ignore this charge by Paul? I find myself guilty many times over..from doctrinal arguments to the inconsequental thinngs of life, the arguments usually have "no value" when looked at in the light of God's love.. what if the body of Christ spe… Continue
