I remember pitying this man and wanting to help, but overall I felt so powerless to do anything.
That same feeling is where I'm at this morning.
-------------------------
Samson Society meetings are unique in that every man who attends has an opportunity to allow the Holy Spirit to speak in and through him relative to the suggested topic or otherwise, and the point of this is for guys to come away feeling encouraged, loved, challenged, etc. But, you'll note here that I didn't include the word powerless.
There should never be a point in time where someone steps away from a Samson meeting and feels this way, especially whilst taking our Christian faith into consideration. But, incessant, extremist political rhetoric effectively seeds that powerless feeling within other men most every time, and this is why it should have no place within our community of men.
If Samson Society had a different purpose, obviously I wouldn't be writing this particular post.
If you don't agree with me here, I would ask that you do one of two things.
1. Take a break from attending Samson Society meetings.
2. Leave our community entirely in order to find somewhere else whose focus is on topics that fall in line with your desire to spew incessant, extremist political rhetoric.
Thanks so much.
