“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!

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.

“You will have many voices that will try to derail you, but you have to be firm and you have to know why you're in business. Why are you in business? Is it money? Buying a bigger house, a better car? Is that it? Or is there a greater purpose? And if you know what that greater purpose is, then you are responsible to God to fulfill that purpose.” Anne Beiler Welcome to SEASON 4 of the podcast!

If you have been to a mall or shopping center in the past 35 years, you are likely familiar with Auntie Anne's Pretzels. While you may have enjoyed some of these warm, tasty treats, you likely don't know the story of the woman whose name has become synonymous with this franchise, which now spans 49 states across America. Mike Linch sits down with “Auntie” Anne Beiler, who has a remarkable story of loss, pain, and despair that was transformed into one of hope, freedom, and healing.Like many “American Dream” stories, Anne Beiler's had humble beginnings – albeit personally challenging ones. She and her husband went through some difficult times, losing a 19-month daughter in a tragic farming accident, then growing distant as they endured the pain separately, in silence. Anne sought the counsel of a pastor, who took advantage of her vulnerability, to manipulate and abuse her for years. She later shared this with her husband, and the two sought counseling together. God restored their marriage, and her husband, Jonas, felt compelled to help others who were suffering from the same despair they had experienced. He had a vision to help provide free counseling services to their community. To help support and fund this endeavor, Anne bought a stand at a farmer's market in Downington, Pennsylvania in 1988, where she made and sold soft pretzels. Auntie Anne's was born.Even as her business grew into the world's largest pretzel franchise, Anne continued to deal with depression, with secrets keeping her in darkness. Desperate to find healing, she began to share her story publicly – and she began to feel lighter! Anne discovered a new passion to help other women experience this freedom, and in 2005 she sold her business to give her the time to speak to others on leadership, purpose, and the power of confession.

SCRIPTURE: (NKJV unless noted) “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:25-34 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1Thessalonians 5:16-18 BOOKS BY SHARI RIGBY: Consider the Lilies Consider The Lilies: 40 Day Devotional Beautifully Flawed LINKS: Paul's Promise The Women In My World Shari Rigby MOMS IN PRAYER New to Moms in Prayer?

Today, Franchise Interviews celebrates National Pretzel Day. If you love a Pretzel, then National Pretzel Day on April 26 is the day for you. According to National Today, Pretzels, somewhat surprisingly, got their start in the Catholic Church. Sometime around the 7th Century A.D., monks presented their students with treats of baked dough twisted in the shape of crossed arms. At the time, crossing one's arms was the traditional posture for prayer. Not only that, but pretzels, made from water, flour and salt, were also the perfect food for Lent — when meat, dairy and eggs were prohibited. So, there you have some National Pretzel Day history — with a twist! Today we will play a clip of an interview we did with Bill Dunn. Auntie Anne's is award-winning franchise system that is consistently ranked number one in the category of hand-rolled soft pretzels by Entrepreneur's Franchise 500, has received the World-Class Franchise. Bill offers advice on how to select a charitable partner that makes sense for your brand's identity. He will also discuss how to get employees emotionally invested in a common cause and how to get your charitable mission in front of customers. Auntie Anne's got its start in 1988 when Anne Beiler bought a stand in a Pennsylvania farmer's market. After some experimentation, "Auntie" Anne created a masterpiece — the same freshly baked goodness you know and love today. Since September 2011, Auntie Anne's® has partnered with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) to raise money and awareness of childhood cancer causes and cures. To date, Auntie Anne's have raised more than $3.7 million for the foundation.
Anna and Lia are tied up in knots — delicious, doughy knots — because this episode is all about pretzels! Lia Ballentine, our Chef-Creator, starts us off with the pretzel baking basics and tells us how changing the dough's pH by boiling it in baking soda or dropping it in a lye bath (that's right, a lye bath) is essential to achieving the perfect pretzel taste and texture. She takes us through the multiple pretzel-related food holidays on the calendar, including National Pretzel Day, which is day loved by all - especially our hero Stanley from The Office. Plus, she tells us why a region in Pennsylvania is known as the “Snack Belt,” how German immigrants started the pretzel boom in America, and highlights two important women in pretzel history: Helen Hoff and “Auntie Anne” Beiler. Yes, Auntie Anne is a real person! Then get ready for one of the wildest Deep Dish segments ever as Anna Van Valin, our Foodlosopher, tells us the fascinating story behind the bizarre religious history of the pretzel — starting from Middle Ages when monks baked pretzels as a holy treat for students, all the way to the 1970s when an ex-clown founded a movement to bring people back to the Catholic Church during a time when secularism was on the rise and made pretzels the center of it. Anna shares the fascinating story of Marlene McCauley, the founder of “Pretzels for God,” and how she believed the pretzel, with the spiritual guidance of a Native American saint Kateri Tekakwitha, could save our souls.

In her high school yearbook, Nicole Hostetter said her goal was to be a mom. It was the one thing she always wanted, and the one thing she felt was her purpose in life. And after getting pregnant with her first child, it seemed as if her goal was being realized. But then she found out her son's chance of survival outside the womb was zero percent. It seemed as if the news threw everything into jeopardy. Today on Overcome With Auntie Anne, I'm chatting with my long-time friend and former employee, Nicole Hostetter.
