On the episode this week: Nate and Aaron offer assistance on planning your own retreats and considering firing up the 48 hours of frankness. Reach out to Aaron here for guidance. Nate and Aaron talk to Robb Kelly. Robb is a Texan, you can tell from his accent. Robb leads us in box breathing to get started. He shares how he lost everything to drugs and alcohol and died twice. There is discussion about how relapse happens weeks before the first drop of alcohol (or whatever is common to you), and there is neuroscience backing this up. Robb encourages us that we can be anything, even president, as we learn from fleas. Robb even explains epigenetic! There is also discussion on healing from the inside out. And you may be able to get a free book.Links:Robb KellyNEW Samson Community App (Apple store)NEW Samson Community App (Google Store)June 5-7, 2026 Italian/International Samson RetreatOct 23-25, 2026 U.S. Samson SummitSend mail to:Pirate Monk Podcast/Samson HousePO BOX 1656Columbia, TN 38402If you have thoughts or questions and you’d like the guys to address in upcoming episodes or suggestions for future guests, please drop a note to [email protected] music on this podcast is contributed by members of the Samson Society.For more information on this ministry, please visit samsonsociety.com.
