The Harmony Springs initiative had already transformed its local community, but its story reached new heights when Jared Huffman, CEO of Pro-Life Payments, appeared on a major conservative podcast. The host invited Huffman, along with two merchants from Harmony Springs-a coffee shop owner and a bakery owner-to discuss the groundbreaking impact of Pro-Life Payments on pro-life ministries and businesses.
The Podcast That Sparked a Pro-Life Commerce Revolution
The episode, titled “Saving Lives Through Commerce,” highlighted how this “stealth philanthropy” was quietly transforming communities and revolutionizing support for pro-life causes. Huffman explained the company’s model: 15% of its top-line revenue was donated to pro-life charities, allowing merchants to contribute to life-saving initiatives simply by processing payments. The merchants shared their experiences of saving money on fees, enjoying faster transactions, and seamlessly supporting their values-all while their customers saw no change in how they shopped. “You’ve gamified pro-life advocacy,” the host remarked, “turning everyday commerce into a force for good.”
The host was astounded by the scale of the impact. “This isn’t just a payment processor-it’s a movement,” he said. “By expanding Pro-Life Payments, you’re literally changing the reach of pro-life ministries across the country.” The episode garnered 2.5 million views in its first week, becoming the podcast’s most-shared installment to date.
National Expansion of Pro-Life Commerce Takes Off
The viral success of the podcast catapulted Pro-Life Payments into the national spotlight. Over the following months:
- Media Appearances: Huffman became a sought-after guest on other conservative platforms, including TV networks and podcasts. His message was clear: businesses could align their operations with their values while saving money and contributing to life-saving work.
- Merchant Adoption: Thousands of businesses across the country adopted Pro-Life Payments, from small-town shops to large regional chains. Churches and non-profits also embraced the platform for donations and fundraising events.
- Community Impact: As more merchants joined, the ripple effect grew exponentially. Local communities began saving hundreds, then thousands of babies annually through expanded funding for pregnancy resource centers, adoption services, and medical care for expectant mothers in crisis.

Pro Life Payments is the for-profit arm of the pro-life movement. Pro-Life Payments is reducing abortion in America by turning customer financial transactions into pro-life funding. We give 15% of gross revenue to Pro-Life organizations. Payments is transitioning donation platforms, credit card processing and peer to peer payments into a funding engine for the pro-life community. Pro-Life Payments is providing customers with the alternative to the abortion-supporting financial institutions and payment processors they are supporting today.
Pro-Life Payments Becomes a Pro-Life Commerce Movement Leader
By early 2027, Pro-Life Payments had become the largest single donation source for pro-life ministries nationwide:
- Financial Impact: The platform generated hundreds of thousands annually for pro-life causes, surpassing traditional funding sources.
- Lives Saved: Studies estimated that tens of thousands of babies were saved each year thanks to expanded resources funded by Pro-Life Payments’ donations.
- Merchant Benefits: Businesses continued to enjoy lower fees, faster payments, and advanced features like e-commerce integration-all while knowing they were making a difference.
Huffman’s vision extended beyond payment processing. He encouraged communities to use Pro-Life Payments’ online calculator to see how many lives they could save by switching their payment processor. This tool became a powerful motivator for businesses and non-profits alike.
A Vision Realized Through Pro-Life Commerce
The host of the original podcast reflected on the movement’s growth in a follow-up episode: “What started as one community’s initiative has become a nationwide revolution in pro-life advocacy. Pro-Life Payments isn’t just changing commerce-it’s changing lives.” Huffman echoed this sentiment in his interviews, emphasizing that his ultimate goal was to create an ecosystem where choosing life was easy and impactful for everyone involved.
By aligning commerce with values, Pro-Life Payments proved that even small changes could lead to monumental outcomes-saving tens of thousands of lives annually and reshaping communities across the country through Pro-Life Commerce.
