“Satan builds the strongholds in the secrets of our lives and reinforces them with silence…,” (Dr. Richard Dobbins) Most of us know the mouth-watering aroma of fresh baked pretzels in the mall or in an airport. Their familiar scent wrap you in a hug of comfort.  They are pretty irresistible! Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie Ann's Pretzels journey towards success began years before she rolled the first pretzel when they experienced any parent's worst nightmare – the death of a child. Then came a dark secret. Their loss propelled Anne into years of darkness, depression, despair, and betrayal by someone she trusted. She shares the dark secret and the resulting trauma that haunted her for years. But out of all her pain - came purpose and the desire to persevere toward personal and professional success.  But more, she encourages those with deep secrets of their own  - to break their silence and reach a whole new level of freedom! In Psalm 32 King David said, “When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.” Jenny has talked about this on Crossroads for many years - secrets keep us in darkness and bondage.

What started as a single farmer's market stand grew into Auntie Anne's, the world's largest hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise!
