    The Father They Both Misunderstood

    The Father They Both Misunderstood For years, I thought the story of the prodigal son was about two brothers. One who ran. One who stayed. But what if we’ve been asking the wrong question? What if Jesus wasn’t inviting us to choose which brother we are? What if He was revealing the heart of the Father? In this episode, we explore one of Jesus’ most well-known parables through a different lens. We talk about shame, performance, striving, grace, and the realization that both sons misunderstood what it meant to belong. The younger brother believed, “I can never be enough.” The older brother believed, “I can do enough.” Both believed belonging had to be earned. But the Father pursued both. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve gone too far… or spent your life trying to prove you’re enough… this conversation is for you. Because the Gospel has never been about the strength of the child. It’s always been about the heart of the Father. Welcome to P.I.P.E. Plug Into Positive Energy. In this episode, we explore one of Jesus’ most well-known parables through a different lens.

    Learning To Trust Again

    Learning to Trust Again Broken trust doesn’t just affect the way we see other people. Sometimes it changes the way we see ourselves. After experiencing betrayal, disappointment, or deep hurt, it can become difficult to trust anyone—including God, and even your own judgment. In this heartfelt episode of P.I.P.E. Podcast, Ann Mayfield shares her personal journey of learning to trust again after years of pain. She opens up about how fear caused her to question herself, how she slowly rebuilt her relationship with God, and how discovering her identity in Christ changed the way she viewed herself forever. Ann reminds us that trust isn’t rebuilt overnight. It grows one prayer, one step of obedience, and one act of surrender at a time. If you’ve ever struggled to trust after heartbreak, abuse, betrayal, or disappointment, this conversation will encourage you to keep moving forward. In this episode you’ll discover: • Why broken trust often causes us to doubt ourselves. • How to begin trusting God when life doesn’t make sense. • The difference between God’s peace and fear. • How to recognize healthy relationships through character and the fruit they produce. • Why boundaries protect trust instead of preventing it. • How believing what God says about you changes everything. One of the greatest lessons Ann learned was this: “I began believing what God said about me instead of believing what others—and even I—had spoken over myself.” No matter what you’ve been through, your past doesn’t get the final word. God is still restoring your confidence. God is still rebuilding your faith. And God is still writing your story. Thank you for listening to P.I.P.E. Podcast.

    The God I Thought I Knew

    The God I Thought I Knew What if the story you’ve believed about God isn’t the story He has been trying to tell you all along? For years, I believed God’s love depended on my performance. I quietly carried the fear that one mistake could cost me everything—that belonging had to be earned, grace had limits, and if I failed badly enough, I would no longer be welcome. I didn’t realize that the story I believed about God had become the story I believed about myself. In this deeply personal episode of the P.I.P.E. Podcast, I share how fear quietly shaped my faith, how perfectionism became my pursuit of belonging, and how rediscovering the heart of Jesus transformed the way I see God, myself, and every relationship in my life. This isn’t a conversation about religion or debate. It’s a conversation about grace. If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn God’s love, questioned whether you were still worthy after failure, or struggled to believe that you truly belong, I hope this episode reminds you of the God who runs toward broken people—not away from them. Maybe it’s time to ask a different question. Who introduced you to the God you’ve been carrying… and is that really the God you find when you read the words of Jesus? Thank you for listening, sharing, and growing with me each week.

    Forgiveness Set Me Free

    The Apology That Never Came There are some wounds that never receive an apology. Some people never acknowledge the pain they caused. They never accept responsibility. They simply move on, while we are left carrying the weight of what happened. In this deeply personal episode of P.I.P.E. Podcast, Ann Mayfield shares her journey through childhood sexual abuse, betrayal, depression, and the long road toward forgiveness. She opens up about the pain of waiting for an apology that never came, the anger she carried for years, and the moment she realized she could no longer allow her past to define her future. Ann gently reminds us that forgiveness is not pretending it didn’t happen. It isn’t forgetting. It isn’t excusing the hurt or allowing someone back into your life without boundaries. Forgiveness is choosing freedom. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and honest reflection, Ann shares how God met her in the darkest moments of her life and slowly transformed bitterness into peace, fear into faith, and brokenness into healing. If you’ve ever wondered… • How do I forgive someone who isn’t sorry? • Can I forgive and still have boundaries? • Will the pain ever stop? • Is healing really possible? …this episode is for you. Key Takeaways • Forgiveness is about your freedom, not their approval. • You don’t need an apology to begin healing. • Boundaries and forgiveness can exist together. • Healing is a process, not a single moment. • Sometimes the first person you need to forgive is yourself. • The little girl inside of you still deserves to be loved, protected, and rescued. No matter what you’ve been through, your story isn’t over. Freedom is possible. Healing is possible. And God is still writing your story. Thank you for listening to P.I.P.E. Podcast. Because what you’re connected to will either build your life or break it. Choose faith. Choose freedom. Choose healing. Choose forgiveness. And most importantly… Plug Into Positive Energy.

    Maybe I Was Never the Problem

    🎙️ Podbean Description Maybe I Was Never the Problem What if the story you’ve believed about yourself isn’t actually true? For years, I believed my biggest struggle was rejection. Every disagreement felt like abandonment. Every misunderstanding felt like proof that I was the problem. But this week, one ordinary moment on a golf course led me to a realization that changed everything. I wasn’t responding to the present. I was responding to a story I’d been carrying since childhood. In this deeply personal episode, I share how constantly moving as a pastor’s daughter, learning that conflict often ended in goodbye, and years of unhealthy relationship patterns shaped the way I viewed myself. Together, we’ll explore the difference between misunderstanding and rejection, why our nervous system clings to familiar stories, and how healing often begins by choosing a different response instead of believing an old lie. This isn’t a conversation about becoming perfect. It’s about becoming aware. It’s about learning that conflict doesn’t have to end in goodbye. It’s about discovering that maybe… you were never the problem. If you’ve ever struggled with rejection, people-pleasing, emotional triggers, or believing you’re “too much,” I hope this conversation reminds you that your story isn’t finished—and it doesn’t have to stay the same.

    When Faith Becomes Greater Than Fear

    Fear doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it looks like settling. Sometimes it looks like staying where it’s familiar because you’re afraid of what’s on the other side. In this deeply personal episode of P.I.P.E. Podcast, Ann Mayfield shares the story of how fear quietly shaped many of her life’s decisions—and how God patiently transformed that fear into faith. Ann opens up about the fear of being alone, the fear of not being loved, the heartbreaking loss of her mother, and the season that left her questioning God’s plan. Through grief, disappointment, and surrender, she discovered that trusting God doesn’t mean you’ll always understand His timing—it means believing He is faithful even when you cannot see the outcome. She also shares the unexpected revival service that became a turning point in her life and how one act of obedience began changing her heart, strengthening her faith, and teaching her to trust God more than her fears. If you’ve ever struggled with fear, grief, waiting, or letting go of control, this episode is a reminder that God is still working—even when the process feels slow. Key Takeaways: • Fear doesn’t have to make your decisions. • Faith grows one step of obedience at a time. • God’s plans are often bigger than our understanding. • Peace comes when we stop trying to control everything and start trusting Him. • Day by day, your faith can become stronger than your fear. No matter what you’re facing today, don’t give up. Trust in the Lord. There is nothing too hard for God. Thank you for listening to P.I.P.E. Podcast.

    Protecting Your Peace

    Episode 9: Protecting Your Peace Peace isn’t something you find when life becomes perfect. Peace is something you choose to protect. In this episode of P.I.P.E. Podcast, Ann Mayfield shares what she’s learned about protecting her peace while navigating healing, relationships, personal growth, and everyday challenges. Through honest reflection and practical wisdom, Ann discusses how worry, people-pleasing, negative self-talk, unforgiveness, toxic relationships, and fear can quietly steal our peace. She also shares the habits that have helped her protect it: setting healthy boundaries, letting go of what she cannot control, choosing faith over fear, practicing gratitude, and staying connected to positive energy. Ann opens up about learning to love difficult people without sacrificing her well-being, why boundaries are not punishment, and how protecting your peace is not selfish—it’s necessary. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or stretched too thin, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to carry everything at once. Take a breath. Give yourself grace. Focus on the next small step. And remember, you’ve survived difficult days before, and you’ll get through this one too. Key Takeaways: • Protecting your peace is not selfish. • A boundary is not punishment. It’s a way of protecting your well-being. • You can love people without allowing them to control your emotions or drain your energy. • Not everything deserves your attention, your reaction, or your peace. • What you focus on will eventually shape your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
