Authentic. Real. Safe.
The mission of Samson House is to provide a safe place, physical or virtual, for Christian men to bring their real selves and say the real truth about the things they’ve kept hidden.
It’s a space of grace on the addiction battlefield, where men can be transparent without judgment or shame.
It’s a storehouse of resources, an oasis of acceptance, and a network of no bull brotherhood.
We recognize we are in a battle for sexual sanity, authentic relationships, and an end to destructive hidden habits, and we refuse to let the casualties of this battle be our marriages, our children, and our grandchildren.
