Colorado pastor's prayer for pizza driver moves millions online
A Colorado pastor's heartfelt gesture toward a frazzled pizza delivery driver turned a simple mistake into a viral example of grace in action, as New York Post reports.
After a delivery mix-up at their Castle Rock home, Pastor Neal Seiwert and his family prayed over the apologetic driver—a moment captured on camera that sparked a nationwide outpouring of support and generosity.
It began over the weekend when Seiwert placed a pizza order through Papa John’s. But when the order arrived, the delivery driver brought the wrong one—a minor mistake many would gripe about.
A Simple Error Turns Into a Viral Act of Kindness
Instead of anger, the Seiwerts responded with empathy. The driver, Suzanna, had confused order No. 57 for their correct order, No. 67—something she attributed to age, apologizing upon realizing the issue.
“I screwed up. I’m sorry,” Suzanna told the family, visibly frustrated and embarrassed. Rather than meet her apology with criticism, the pastor’s wife and three daughters joined him on their porch, surrounded Suzanna, and prayed for her on the spot.
The emotional moment was recorded by their Ring doorbell and later posted on social media, where it struck a nerve with hundreds of thousands of viewers weary of our culture’s reflexive outrage.
Prayer Over Pizza Becomes Nationwide Movement
The video hit over 500,000 likes on Instagram and racked up more than 5 million views. In a time where small mistakes often lead to viral shaming, this particular moment showed how mercy still resonates—loudly.
Seiwert’s words during the prayer couldn’t have been more countercultural in today’s outrage economy. “She’s more important than any of these orders tonight because you matter to her. She matters to us,” he said, as the family laid hands on Suzanna.
Compare that to the knee-jerk online mobs ready to vilify anyone who slips up. Here, a family chose to bless a person behind the uniform—reminding us all what happens when decency overtakes indignation.
GoFundMe for Pizza Driver Surpasses Expectations
After the video went viral, the Seiwerts tracked down Suzanna and asked for her permission to set up a GoFundMe in her name. They launched the fundraiser with a goal of $25,000—and blew past that in under 48 hours.
That kind of response doesn’t happen unless people are hungry for goodness. “So many people are commenting on how it brought them to tears,” Seiwert said. “There are many people who simply just need love.”
It goes to show—not everyone’s joined the cancel culture clergy. Sometimes, it's the quiet acts of kindness that light up the darkest corners of a cynical internet.
Pastor’s Message of Faith Over Fault
Still, Seiwert made it clear this wasn’t about performance or social media attention. “I didn’t want her to experience just our family’s love, I wanted her to experience God’s love too,” he said.
While society celebrates victimhood and vengeance in equal measure, this pastor’s simple conviction was rooted in a timeless belief: people matter more than perfection.
The encounter wasn’t just about a pizza; it was about how we treat each other in the small, unnoticed moments—something the progressive agenda often misses in its constant quest to politicize every move.
Faith-Filled Families Still Making a Difference
One user on social media called the video “tear-inducing.” But more than the tears, the moment sparked action, proving again that the silent majority still responds to stories rooted in faith, respect, and compassion—not slogans or hashtags.
This wasn’t about virtue signaling or scoring online points. It was prayer in motion—live and unscripted. And naturally, it struck a nerve.
The Seiwerts plan to move to Wichita, Kansas, later this year to launch a new church, Harvest House. And if this story shows anything, it’s that they’re already practicing what they’ll soon be preaching.
