Prepare for a delicious treat in this episode as we hear from Auntie Anne herself, Anne Beiler, the founder of the famed Pretzel Shop! Her God-story is full of hard lessons learned, faith-pushing circumstances, and a heavy reliance on her favorite scripture – Psalms 32:8 – so grab your favorite dippin’ sauce and dive into this hot-out-the-oven podcast!

Anne Beiler and her husband Jonas grew up Amish and walked through an enormous number of struggles together - including the loss of their daughter, spiritual abuse, and financial issues. As God led Jonas into marriage counseling to the Mennonite and Amish communities, Anne went to work to support their family. From this place, her shop got started and franchised into the Auntie Anne’s we know and love today!

We used our time at this year's Workmatters Conference in Rogers, Arkansas to grab a bevy of interviews to highlight how Jesus is moving within the hearts, minds and workspaces of all sorts of workplaces. Today, we heard how this exceptional millennial found faith in a very sweet place.

Ashton Batten, a manager for ecommerce with Mars Wriggly, is on the Millennial Panel at the Workmatters Conference and stops in to talk with us about millennial leadership and millennials in the workplace. Ashton’s own story is timely and inspiring – tune in to hear more about how God is moving in the next generation!

Proverbs 27:23 says, “Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds…” So today, I want to ask, do you, as a manager, CEO, business owner, or supervisor, know the state of your employees – both personally and professionally? Do you know where they are coming from? Do you know where they are at? If not, today is your chance to start - and Martha and I want to show you how!

If you do regular employee performance reviews (we’re talking quarterly, not just annually!), you will have more opportunities to share the Gospel with your people because of how you are regularly investing in them. Employee performance evaluations are an opportunity to sit down without interruptions, show that you care, and improve company culture! 

Employee reviews allow you to sit down and have an open, purposeful, and transparent conversation. And, by doing regular performance reviews, you are able to: 1) Shows that you care, notice, and acknowledge their work 2) Set goals, so they have somewhere to go in the future 3) Create an opportunity for an open dialogue 4) Provide productive feedback and investment 5) Allow the employee an opportunity to do a self-evaluation.
