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 next two weekends this year are:

April 16-18 - Near Philadelphia
May 14-16 - Near Chicago

A Safe Place

A friend came over last night to watch the Super Bowl with us. We had a good time and when he left he said- thanks for creating a safe place for me.




It made me realize that we are not safe in this world and don't always feel safe when telling the truth about ourselves or even just relaxing and being ourselves. The evil one is willing to go to great lengths to destroy us and just when we start to trust--he may come in for the kill. Sounds dramatic but betrayal is not fun

Wisdom from Proverbs 9

When I fear the Lord, I am on the road that leads to wisdom. My increasing knowledge of the Holy One results in my further understanding. By wisdom my days shall be multiplied and the years of my
life will increase. When I am wise, I am the one who benefits. But
if I scorn wisdom, I will be the one to suffer. The woman of folly is
boisterous; simple; and knows nothing. She
