Testimonies

WHO WE ARE.
Founded in 2024 by Kathy and Gary Stommel, Igniting Purpose is a Therapeutic Group Intensive Center close to Nashville, Tennessee. After years of experience in working with people individually and guiding group intensives, Kathy is now bringing her expertise to her own originally designed programs. She has created a place for transformation-where people can overcome trauma, find freedom from fear, and gain the resources to live with purpose, joy, and fulfillment.
Allison's Testimony
It blew my mind how much I hadn’t been taught—especially around communication, boundaries, and truly connecting with others while staying grounded in Christ.
For the first time, I saw how some of my struggles weren’t just about emotions—they were about old beliefs, hidden patterns, and a misunderstanding of God’s heart in relationships.

This couple’s intensive experience is a moving testament to what’s possible when two hearts commit to healing together.
A Powerful Testimony of Restoration
Melanie and Tyler
Maddy's Testimony
Being in a small group of people, most of whom I didn’t know, created this space that was incredibly honest and healing. Walls came down. Hearts opened. And what I thought might feel intimidating actually became the most beautiful source of connection I’ve ever encountered.Through the teaching, therapy, and shared vulnerability, I saw God move in real time—in others and in me.
There was laughter, tears, breakthrough, and truth spoken over each one of us.
Tiffany's Testimony
For the first time, I could see where I had been reacting instead of responding… surviving instead of leading my own heart.
And now, instead of shame or frustration, I have clarity. I have tools. I have peace.
God used this experience to not only bring healing but to restore authority in my life. I left knowing who I am and how to walk in wisdom, grace, and emotional strength.
