Purpose In The Pain Tue, 26 May 2026 16:05:10 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2564873 en-us © 2026 Purpose In The Pain yes 7b643942-f20e-575d-8283-e5d676add505 Tony & Sonoma Adkins episodic false Your pain was never meant to be the end of your story.
Hosted by Tony & Sonoma Adkins, Purpose in the Pain is a faith-based podcast for anyone who has ever wondered if their struggle has meaning—and if healing is actually possible.


Through honest conversations and real-life stories, Tony and Sonoma explore what it means to find purpose in the middle of hardship, hold onto hope when everything feels broken, and share the testimony that someone else might be waiting to hear.


"We have to focus on the purpose but we live in the promise."


Each episode features guests who have walked through their own valleys—church hurt, divorce, addiction, loss, and more—and found hope and redemption on the other side. No perfect stories. No easy answers. Just Christ followers getting honest about the mess and the meaning hidden inside it.


Because the enemy wants you to keep your pain a secret. He wants you isolated, pressed down, and silent.


This podcast exists to break that silence.


You might be closer to your breakthrough than you realize. Sometimes you've been leaning against the answer all along.


New episodes released weekly.
