"The No Bull Briefing" - January 2024

 

January 2024 DONATE Join Nate in Florida at Fallen & Free 2024 At Fallen and Free 2024, you’ll explore how God’s grace meets us in the ruins of this hard life. And what we’ll discover is that true peace isn’t found in the absence of our messiness, but rather God’s merciful presence in the middle of it.   When: February 16, 17 Where: The Sanctuary in Jupiter, FL LEARN MORE Register Now for November! This year we are going retro as Dr. Andrew J. Bauman joins Nate and Aaron to walk men through personal work and send them out in Silas groups to share their discoveries with one another.   Also, if you host or co-host a virtual or in-person meeting or desire to host a meeting (whether virtual or in-person), please join us at the summit venue a day early for a time of training and fellowship.   Payment plan available.  LEARN MORE I am thrilled to share some incredible news with you all – we have not only met but surpassed our matching fundraiser goal of $70,000! Your generosity and dedication have played a pivotal role in raising $114,729 during our matching gift fundraiser end-of-year campaign, and we are immensely grateful for your support. This success is a testament to the strength and unity of our community. Together, we have demonstrated the impact we can make when we come together with a shared purpose. The funds raised will enable us to further our mission of helping to rescue families by helping men live in the freedom of authenticity and make a lasting difference in the families of the men of Samson Society. Here are a couple testimonials from men in Samson: "My home is a home now thanks to Samson Society." "My family and I will never be the same." "I give because I love what Samson has done for me." However, as we celebrate this milestone, it's essential to recognize that our journey is far from over. While the matching fundraiser has provided a significant boost, we must acknowledge that we have only reached a third of our annual fundraising target. We require sustained financial backing to ensure continued success. I am reaching out to each one of you to consider extending your support beyond the matching fundraiser with a monthly donation. Your continued contributions are crucial in helping us reach our annual fundraising goal and maintain the momentum we have built. Every dollar makes a difference and contributes to the positive impact we strive to create. To those who have already contributed, thank you for your generosity. For those who haven't had the chance yet, we invite you to join us in our ongoing efforts to make a lasting impact. Together, we can achieve even greater heights and continue to create positive change. You can give through New Horizons Foundation using the button below or on Venmo (@SamsonSociety). Your commitment to our cause is truly appreciated, and we look forward to your continued partnership in building a brighter future.

"I Found Jesus In Prison..." Ethan #19

"For it is true, we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted.  And so, it's those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love them completely without completely understanding."
