Rooted & Grounded in Love
June 9, 2022 • Tamika Sanders
Tamika is the founder and executive director of Coming Out, Inc. She is a public speaker, spiritual mentor, and prophetic voice for this generation. After experiencing the delivering hand of God from generational strongholds in her own identity, and forgiveness of childhood abandonment which yielded the restoration of an estranged relationship with her father, Tamika grew a passion to see all people completely whole, set free, and delivered. In 2009, she began mentoring women one-on-one who approached her with an expressed desire to find freedom in Christ from lesbianism and gender confusion that was triggered by childhood abuse, neglect, and other traumas. After hearing their stories and the stories of others who've tried to overcome in this area, she found herself relating to the root causes of their brokenness more than she'd ever imagine, while quickly learning their number one hurdle in staying the course to wholeness was finding adequate support within their local churches-leaving them feeling isolated, judged and alone in their struggles. Though she does not have a past in homosexuality, Tamika could not ignore the call from God to provide a safe haven for those coming out of homosexuality. Tamika is committed to becoming an added resource to the church by equipping leaders with the proper tools to offer compassionate support, without compromise, while effectively ministering Biblical truth in love to those impacted by same-sex desires. ©http://restoredhopenetwork.org/ Permissions: videos and screenshots may be used for private consumption without written permission.
