Adrie Groeneweg had a dream that started in Hull, IA, in 1981, when he was just 19 years old. It was simple. Why does everyone have to drive out of town to get a pizza? With just six specialty and single topping pizza recipes developed by Adrie’s mother, Lorraine, Pizza Ranch was born. Pizza Ranch’s vision and mission is to glorify God by positively impacting the world and to give every guest a legendary experience. They have 190+ locations across 13 states including Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado.

Christian Songs About Hope – Living Hope CD
On June 2, 2015, Pizza Ranch released a CD called Living Hope containing twelve songs from many of their favorite Christian artists. Most of the songs are brand-new and written exclusively for this CD around the theme of Hope. Artists include Colton Dixon, Francesca Batistelli, Ellie Holcomb, Sidewalk Prophets, Kevin Max, Bart Millard, Passion Band featuring Kristian Stanfill, Michael W. Smith, and Mark Schultz.
The CD will be available to purchase for $5 plus tax exclusively in Pizza Ranch restaurants or for download at pizzaranch.com/livinghope through August 31.
From Adrie Groeneweg, President & CEO of Pizza Ranch, Inc.: “This album has a very special meaning for Pizza Ranch. Although Pizza Ranch is not in the music business, many things have been happening, conversations have been taking place and doors have been opening for this album. Through these events, I believe it was obvious that God has been behind this for His specific purpose and putting it on our hearts to collectively create this project. As such, we call this our miracle album, Living Hope.”
I love that a business has made it one of their goals to share the hope we can find from God’s word. There are 12 Christian songs on this CD and at only $5 this is a fantastic deal. Included on this CD are:
- Future by Francesca Battistelli
- Blind by Colton Dixon
- My All in All by Phil Wickham
- Hold Onto Hope by Ellie Holcomb
- Savior’s Arms by Passion Band
- Overcome the World by Mark Schultz
- Panic Button by Kevin Max
- Hope of Heaven by Michael W. Smith
- Till I Met You by Laura Story
- A little Hope by Bart Millard
- What are You Waiting For by Sidewalk Prophets
- Day One (acoustic version) by Matthew West
This is a really fantastic collection of Christian music. The one that spoke to me the most was Future by Francesca Battistelli. What an amazing song. It had a great beat and a very uplifting message. No matter what type of Christian music you enjoy, you’ll definitely find something that speaks to you on this CD.
Check out their YouTube Channel (features images and videos of the artists talking about the story behind each song) for more information.

Love their purpose. . Our purpose is ultimately glorifying God by positively impacting the world. It’s part of the reason we’ve put together this album.
I am loving all the artists on this CD! What a great and inspirational CD!! I love that the artists are coming together for a purpose.
