In this episode, Fr Michael takes Righteous Samson from the Book of Judges as an example--both good and bad--of masculinity. He considers how Samson prefigured Christ, what it means that he was a Nazirite, that he was powerfully affected by the Spirit of God, that he was a liminal or threshold figure, and that he was loner. Were these aspects of his life good or bad, and what do they have to teach us about being men today? Please join all three of the co-hosts of As Iron Sharpens Iron for the Beloved Sons Retreat, which will be held 6-8 October 2023 in Livonia, a suburb of Detroit, Michigan.
