Background and Career

Nate Larkin's journey to founding the Samson Society stems from his personal experiences. After serving in the ministry for five years, he left due to a developing addiction to pornography.1 This struggle led him to create a support system for men facing similar challenges.

The Samson Society

The Samson Society, founded by Larkin, is described as:

• A fellowship of Christian men
• Not a church, but a group that prays together
• Not Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), but a place where members discuss their current failures
• A community committed to living truthfully as Christians1

As of 2012, there were over 250 local Samson Society groups in the United States, with additional groups in other countries.1
