turning point charity mission

Our Mission

Turning Point Charity is a social transformation charity that seeks to reduce the devastating generational effects of relationship breakdown and divorce and transforms lives through community support and the never-ending love of God.

We partner with our local attorneys, therapists and financial experts in Middle Tennessee to provide professional services, while also relying on organizations and volunteers to contribute additional financial, emotional and spiritual support.

Your support is critical to rebuilding lives, and together we can help more families find their Turning Point.

At some point,
everyone needs a turning point

Our generous donors help Turning Point Charity provide them with the critical resources they need as they transition their lives from before, during and after separation or divorce.

Faith-Driven To Help Every One Broken by Divorce

Keri's Story

I’ve been in their shoes. We all have our stories; each one unique.

Mine left me stuttering, difficulty walking and PTSD symptoms so great from fear that my neurologist couldn’t guarantee I’d ever regain full use of my brain or memory again. I went from being a strong, athletic, successful woman and mom to a hiding, shaking, broken shell of who I used to be. I was exhausted from protecting myself and my children, and my brain was shutting down.

I desperately needed someone to walk alongside me through my divorce and a spiritual Sherpa to lead the way.

I leaned in closer to God and wrote. Prayed. Begged Him for safety and security. Through those painful, yet beautiful hours with Him came His words and a passion to never let any person walk the path of separation and divorce alone. Those hours of journaling turned into a scripted guide on how to prepare someone to survive their divorce emotionally, spiritually and financially, and how to create a God-designed and destined life plan where they could find their voice. My divorce cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and carried on for much longer than necessary. But I got stronger. My brain started to heal miraculously. God was carrying me and restoring me for something He needed me to do.

People started referring others to see how I could help a friend, themselves, someone at church…

In early 2018, Starting Point Divorce Advocacy, LLC launched and grew organically as if by supernatural mission. Go figure. God had used my broken story for His good.
Today, Starting Point partners with the most respected attorneys, therapists and financial experts in Davidson and Williamson County, and we get the honor of building your team of experts and spiritually guiding you through any stage of separation and divorce.

And now, Turning Point has evolved to ensure those who cannot afford an attorney or critical financial services get the help they need and the spiritual empowerment they crave.

My prayer and mission is one day to save far more marriages than we help finalize. God has used my mountains – and given me skills as a business owner, organizer, writer, speaker, encourager, and spiritual guide for His good. And he will use your story and give you gifts and strengths you would never believe possible for His future good, and yours, too.
