Digital Social Hour

Kristan Hawkins joins Digital Social Hour at AmFest for one of the most in-depth conversations on birth control, feminism, declining birth rates, and the future of the pro-life movement.

As the president of Students for Life of America, Kristan breaks down why hormonal birth control has been pushed for decades instead of treating women’s health issues, how feminism drifted away from its original principles, and why modern culture is producing record-high unhappiness among women.

She also explains how Planned Parenthood became one of the most powerful political forces in America, why abortion is now central to Democratic Party politics, how campus activism actually changes minds, and why young people — not Washington — are the key to cultural change.

This is a long-form, unapologetic conversation about biology, culture, power, and why the most important debates today are happening on college campuses.

What happens when you build your career on asking the questions you’re “not supposed” to ask?

In this AmFest conversation, Elijah Schaffer opens up about getting hit with multi-million-dollar lawsuits, the realities of modern “clout media,” and why he believes truth-telling comes with a price. He also breaks down how online culture is reshaping young men—from hyper-viral creators repackaging adult content for mainstream audiences, to the insecurity loop of “looks-maxing,” status chasing, and dopamine-driven addiction.

This episode goes deep on faith, discipline, pressure, and what it takes to stay grounded when everything around you is incentivized to go off the rails.

🔥 How lawsuits and “lawfare” are used to pressure creators
🧠 Why clout-based media rewards fake outrage over truth
🧨 How explicit internet culture bleeds into mainstream platforms
🧩 Why “status + vanity loops” never feel like enough
🛡️ What discipline looks like when nobody’s watching
✝️ Why faith + obedience can be the real reset button
🧱 How to rebuild your life one moment at a time
