The newest Metro Jackson Samson Society group meets on Tuesday nights at 6 PM at Crossgates Baptist Church in Brandon, MS.  I've had the privilege of knowing Mr. Matt Flint, facilitator of this group, for a number of years.  Starting with his Life Group, Matt has told his story with boldness, thereby impacting men's lives through his willingness to be authentic.

And it's authenticity that best sums up what Samson Society is.  Though Crossgates Baptist Church bundles the group in with their other Life Groups, it's not completely fair to do so.  Life Groups are essentially Sunday School classes.  Their primary focus being Bible teaching and prayer lead by a teacher.  And these are both worthwhile things, but they don't happen within a Samson Society meeting.  Instead, Samson Society meetings are settings where men can talk openly about whatever is on their hearts / minds.  In fact, they're expected to do so, otherwise they're just taking up space.

Matt's gift as a facilitator is essentially serving as a constant week to week.  He opens the door for men to come, taking them through the Samson Society charter prior to listening in.  It's his willingness to serve in this capacity that makes him so unique.  Especially considering his youth.

How fortunate Crossgates Baptist Church is to now have a Samson Society meeting as a resource to that community of men!
