What God Can Do with Our Confessions | Anne Beiler

Founder of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, Anne Beiler joins Blake to share the powerful story behind the brand so many grew up loving. Anne reflects on her upbringing in an Amish Mennonite community, where faith, family, and simplicity shaped her early view that life was good and God was harsh. She vulnerably recounts how this belief was challenged through deep personal loss, abuse, and suffering, ultimately transforming her theology into one rooted in the truth that life is hard, but God is good. Through candid conversation, Anne emphasizes the importance of sharing our stories to connect, encourage, and point to redemption, especially for young moms navigating their own faith journeys. In this episode, you’ll be able to… Hear the heartbreaking story of a mother’s loss and how it reshaped her faith and understanding of God's presence in suffering. Explore the emotional and spiritual impact of grief on marriage, parenting, and community. Learn how unspoken pain, unresolved questions, and the absence of language for grief can shape a person’s spiritual journey for decades.
