There's likely never going to be any career building connections within Samson Society because the group of men you will find yourself rubbing shoulders with weekly aren't there to further their ambitions, nor are they there to serve their community or church through that particular venue. It's simply not opportunistic in that regard.
Samson Society is about brokenness. It's men who've often times been crushed by life's circumstances, therefore despite their attempts to fulfill their emotional needs through other means, they've been unsuccessful and from there, their lives have suffered.
Men coming together and admitting that they need a place to be authentic - for at least a few hours a week - results in some very nontraditional dialogue / vibes. And within that setting, everything's kept within strictest confidence.
It may sound like a company of Christian men who are simply the outcasts of the church. Perhaps those who simply can't seem to "fit in" within the traditional setting.
And perhaps there's some truth to that statement.
Nonetheless, every man needs to find his place. Whether it's Samson Society, Sunday School, or Rotary Club, know that you were not created to follow Christ outside of some semblance of community. Community that works to challenge and accept you fully - each time you walk through the door.
