S5 01: From Grief to Grace: The Inspiring Story of Auntie Anne's Founder with Anne Beiler

The Strong Women Podcast

Grief, trauma, and shame thrive in the darkness—but honesty enables us to walk in the light of healing and freedom. Tune in for a story of redemption and healing from Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie Anne’s pretzels. More than a successful businesswoman, Anne is a woman of God who has walked through devastating loss and trauma and discovered the freedom that comes when we share our burdens with those who love us.

Does the thought of voting stress you out—especially this year? Maybe the idea of political engagement as a Christian even feels hopeless. You’re not alone. You want wisdom, but the Bible doesn’t directly address voting, so what do you do?

To help you find clarity, stability, and wisdom for this year, we’ve put together a short, four-episode video series called “Why Vote? Courageous Faith in an Election Year.” Each video answers a different question about voting from a Christian perspective, including “What if I don’t like either candidate?” “Why vote if God is sovereign?” and more. You don’t have to give in to our culture’s political anxiety. Clarity and hope is possible- even in an election year. Get your FREE access to the “Why Vote?” video series at colsoncenter.org/whyvote.
