This week on The Love Offering podcast, I had the privilege of sitting with Annie Mayfield to talk about her heartfelt and life-changing book, U Matter. Annie’s journey is one so many of us can relate to—the endless striving to prove our worth, only to discover that our value was never tied to what we achieve.

Annie shared how she spent years chasing accomplishments in sports, relationships, careers, and more to feel like she mattered. When life stripped away what she thought defined her, she came face-to-face with a raw truth: her worth had nothing to do with what she could do or earn. Instead, it was rooted in God’s unchanging love.

We explored the freeing message in Jeremiah 1:5—that our value is not a badge we earn but a title God gives us. Annie’s story is a beautiful reminder that real faith isn’t about what we do “for” God but how we walk with Him. She invites us to trust that when God says we matter, He means it.

If you’ve ever confused your worth with your achievements or felt the pressure to “prove” you belong, this episode is for you. Annie’s story will inspire you to step into the truth of your inherent worth and remind others of theirs, too.

I hope Annie’s powerful message encourages you as much as it did me. Let’s embrace the truth that we are loved, chosen, and valuable—not because of what we do, but because of who we are in Him.

With love,
Rachael
