How To Find Purpose Through Pain
Over twenty years ago, Randy Adkins Jr. faced one of life’s most heartbreaking moments—the tragic loss of his 19-year-old younger brother. What began as a season of deep grief and helplessness became a turning point that reshaped his outlook on life. Instead of letting pain define him, Randy used it as a catalyst for self-reflection, growth, and purpose.
Today, Randy is an ordained minister, corporate consultant, community leader, and distinguished Toastmaster, whose message continues to touch lives across the world. He is passionate about guiding others toward spiritual growth, personal development, and living a purpose-driven life that glorifies God.
A Life Of Purpose Through Pain
Randy creatively weaves his diverse experiences—whether in the boardroom, pulpit, or community—into a tapestry of insight and transformation. Through his writing, teaching, and speaking, he challenges audiences to live intentionally and to produce on purpose.
His question to everyone is simple yet profound:
“Are you aware of what your life is producing?”
Whether we recognize it or not, our lives are always producing something. The real question is—are we producing by accident or producing on purpose?
Listen to my interview with Randy here:
From Actor to Producer: Living Beyond the Script
In his powerful book, Produce on Purpose, Randy Adkins Jr. reveals a life-changing perspective: “Too many of us are living like actors. Actors work within someone else’s purpose.”
He explains that while actors follow a director’s script to fulfill the producer’s vision, God created us to be producers, not just performers in someone else’s story. We are called to create, lead, and make an impact in ways that align with His divine purpose.
When you walk into a room, you have the power to change the atmosphere. That’s what happens when you live with intention and faith—when you step into your God-given role as a producer of life, joy, peace, and fruitfulness.

A Call to Live With Purpose
Randy’s story is a testimony of what God can do when we surrender our pain and let Him use it to shape our purpose. He reminds us that life is not meant to be survived—it’s meant to be produced with meaning, love, and impact.
It’s time to stop living like an actor in someone else’s story and start producing on purpose—experiencing a life full of joy, peace, fulfillment, and fruitfulness, all to the glory of God.
