Her Loss is Great, But God is Greater | Anne Tully Tuttle

Before Snowbird had cabins or kitchens, it had creek showers, porta potties, and a small group of people committed to building something that would last. Anne (Tully) Tuttle was one of them. A quiet new believer who first came as a student, she eventually joined the staff—shaped not by hype, but by Scripture, discipleship, and people who showed up.

In this episode, Anne shares what those early summers were really like. She also reflects on the 2007 accident that changed everything for the Snowbird team—and how grief, community, and worship shaped her in the years that followed.

Anne grew up dodging addiction, chaos, and a revolving door of men who called her mother’s house home. She found rides to church, worked to keep the lights on, and learned to survive without going numb at a young age. Anne never knew her biological father until one day he showed up at Snowbird. When her father showed up, sick and short on time, she discovered how powerful it is to hear a dad say, “You matter.” After his death and her mother’s overdose, Anne faced grief without regret.

Anne recounts her time hiking through the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails, and how the Lord used those times to grant her peace and clarity. 

Now, with her husband Hunter and their kids in Marietta, Anne is building a legacy rooted in faith, presence, and everyday grace. From miscarriage to miracles, she’s proof that ordinary faithfulness can change generations.
