The popular Midwest chain created an original compilation CD titled "Living Hope," available June 2, featuring the most celebrated names in Christian music. "Living Hope" comprises 12 tracks recorded by contemporary Christian music's top artists including hitmakers Francesca Battistelli, Colton Dixon, Phil Wickham, Ellie Holcomb, Passion Band featuring Kristian Stanfill, Mark Schultz, Kevin Max, Michael W. Smith, Laura Story, Bart Millard of MercyMe, Sidewalk Prophets and Matthew West. Thematically, the songs, many of which are exclusive to the Pizza Ranch® record, echo a message of hope.

To further impact Christian artists and their families, the organization donated $120,000 on behalf of participating artists to non-profit Porter's Call. Porter's Call works to counsel, support and encourage recording artists and their families.

Adrie Groeneweg, president and CEO of Pizza Ranch® Inc., explains "Christian Music deeply resonates with our guests, while upholding the ideals of Pizza Ranch. I love the songs on the CD and feel that they will deeply minister to many people. We couldn't be more excited for its release."

The CD is now available at Pizza Ranch Restaurants or via download at pizzaranch.com/music.
