Welcome to the Surviving and Thriving with an Uncontrolling God event! Join us at SouthPark Church for an enlightening discussion on how to navigate harm and abuse if God loves all and controls none. The speakers are Tambry Harris and Thomas Jay Oord.
Tambry Harris is a spiritual director, transformational coach, survivor of sexual abuse and domestic violence, and founder of the Going-Forward: Survivors to Thrivers organization.

Tambry’s experiences, concepts, and heart shine light into the darkness that surrounds sexual abuse and domestic violence.
