Florence Welch sells out stadiums performing what she calls "rituals." Millions of young women describe her concerts as the closest thing to a religious experience they've ever had. And across TikTok and Instagram, a generation of women is turning to witchcraft, astrology, and alternative spirituality - not as a joke, but as a lifeline.

So what's going on?

Modern feminism promised women that career success, financial independence, and bodily autonomy would be enough. But for a lot of women, they weren't. And when those promises fall short, people start looking for meaning somewhere else - in ritual, symbolism, and spiritual searching.

That's where this conversation starts. I'm Kristan Hawkins, and this channel is where I'm going to do the hard work: breaking down the biggest myths, unpacking the cultural lies, and digging into the questions everybody seems to be asking but nobody wants to answer.

We'll go deeper into the stories behind the headlines, the ideas shaping our culture, and the beliefs that are quietly influencing the way women think about power, purpose, and fulfillment. This isn't just commentary. It's a community.

So if you're here for real conversations, big questions, and deep dives that don't pull punches, follow and join me here. I'm building this space for all of us - and I'm glad you're here.

Welcome back to The Kristan Hawkins Show!

This year at the National Pro-Life Summit we added a new special session to the lineup, The Abortion Debate Showdown. This week on the podcast Lydia Taylor Davis and I revisit some of the most outrageous moments from our debate with self-proclaimed pro-choice Rev. Dr. Caleb J. Lines and pro-choice advocate and social media influencer currently running for the U.S. House of Representatives in California's 48th Congressional District, Whitney Shanahan.

Grab the popcorn and your Bibles as we dive in!

Welcome back to The Kristan Hawkins Show!

This week, we're diving into some of the biggest pro-life updates you need to know:

- Our undercover investigation into the lawless abortion drug trafficking industry – you will be disgusted when you see what we found.

- Students for Life ACTION's 2026 Legislative roadmap. We have some unfinished pro-life legislative business from 2025 that we intend to get across the finish line, with a number of states ripe for bills that will curb Chemical Abortion

- And we're fighting in four states where abortion is on the BALLOT. Is YOUR state a battleground in 2026?

- Finally, I'll be reacting to some TikToks my producer is making me watch… so I might as well make you watch them with me.

Don't miss these updates, and make sure you're subscribed so you never miss the latest pro-life news and victories.

Welcome back to The Kristan Hawkins Show!

Today we're going to hear Christian apologist, Jojo Ruba, discuss why abolitionist attacks on pro-life leaders are harming the movement. We share some reactions to their accusations of my recent trip to The University of Central Oklahoma.

I hope this conversation helps inspire many in the pro-life movement that using incremental strategy is what saves lives without compromising our convictions. Charlie Kirk knew this, which is why he emphasized an incremental approach during his keynote speech at our National Pro-Life Summit 2025 last year.

Welcome back to The Kristan Hawkins Show!

Today we're going to reflect on 2025. It feels like a decade packed into one year.

2025 was a year of victories, heartbreak, and defining battles for the pro-life generation. We said Goodbye to Biden, Good Riddance to Kamala, and Welcome Back to President Trump.

Tragically, we were also forced to say Farewell to our friend Charlie Kirk, who was stolen from our movement and from our nation many decades too soon.

Today, let's look back at what we've accomplished, and what's ahead as we march in 2026.

Today we're talking about women. Specifically, we're talking about women and healthcare issues.

We'll be debunking a recent viral ProPublica article where journalists lied about the tragic death of a pregnant mother in Texas. Spoiler alert: They said killing her baby would have saved her. We're setting the record straight.

Then, we're going to continue the conversation we started a couple weeks ago about repealing the 19th Amendment and whether women should, in fact, have the right to vote.

Next up, we'll talk about Florence Welch's ectopic pregnancy experience and how the music industry reacted to one of its own losing her only child.

Finally, a Chicago mom gives birth in her car… eight minutes after being discharged from the hospital.
