Episode 5: Part 1 of Anne Beiler, The Founder of Auntie Anne's Pretzels

Auntie Anne Beiler is best known as the founder of Auntie Anne’s®, the world’s largest pretzel franchise. But before rising to success, Anne went through years of defeat, despair, and depression that kept her stuck in a place of darkness. It was through her pain, however, that she discovered a new purpose.

Born and raised in the Amish-Mennonite community of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Anne Beiler grew up surrounded by faith and family. During these years, important life lessons were permanently weaved into the fabric of her life. She attended traditional Amish school until the 8th grade and eventually met and married her teenage crush – Jonas Beiler.

Called Higher Studio’s CEO Jason Brown interviews Anne and learns about her story. Called Higher is also turning her life story into a film for the world to see.

“Anne Beiler has felt personally the humiliation and pain sexual abusers inflict on their victims. She knows the agony of the personal prison of silence. And she knows the freedom and healing that can come to those who are willing to break this stronghold of the enemy in their lives by breaking the silence of their secret. Helping others take this step is now the passion of her life and God is using her to lead thousands of women to the freedom and healing He continues to bring to her.” - Dr. Richard Dobbins
