Most of us are fueled in the mornings by our daily “energy in a cup.’ The lovely cup of Joe can also be paired with the defense of life. One coffee company is committed to defending unborn life and allows you to partner with them to do it. I was super excited to learn of this company and know, as the devoted and addicted coffee drinker that I am, I can help defend the unborn simply by drinking coffee. It’s an easy way to turn your morning coffee into a source of support for life. Meet Seven Weeks Coffee Company.
Science says a fetus has a heartbeat at seven weeks in the womb. It also shows that the fetus is the size of a coffee bean at seven weeks gestation. That is why Seven Weeks Coffee chose its name and is an easy reminder of how early a fetus has a heartbeat and should be protected.
Seven Weeks Coffee uses this critical moment in a fetus development to promote and defend life. From their name to their bank account, this is a great way for you to make your morning cup of energy into a daily defense of life. St. Paul writes to the Colossians in Colossians 3:23-24 that whatever we do then we should do it for the Lord. Why not make drinking coffee a way to honor the Lord by defending life?
Seven Weeks Coffee is a new coffee company that has only been around for three years. It started in 2021 and has already made a substantial impact for the unborn. They have donated $350,000 to pro-life causes, provided 3,500 medical ultrasounds, and played a role in saving over 2,700 unborn lives. The company donates “10% of every sale to pro-life pregnancy care centers across the nation. This is upwards of 50% of our profits.” (according to the website)
According to the company, they provide support to over 800 pro-life organizations across the United States. “With each order placed, you will directly help fund our network of over 800 pro-life organizations across the country. Thank you for letting your coffee serve a greater purpose,” Anton Krecic, founder of Seven Weeks Coffee.
The company provides you the opportunity to order light, medium, and dark roast. It also provides expresso beans. When you love their coffee (and you will), you can join their “Heartbeat Club” and have it automatically shipped to you with a frequence of your choice. When you join the Heartbeat Club, you receive 15% off every order and the company donates 10% of profits on your behalf to pro-life organizations.
Why not drink your morning expresso with a purpose? You’ll never see coffee the same way again. Click here to go to their website and order your next coffee while supporting the unborn.

She was baptized as a Southern Baptist in Muscle Shoals, AL and began immediately serving in international missions and in the church.

Amelia is a military wife and currently residents with her husband and daughter in Tennessee. She is a nine time award winning journalist, receiving press awards for various categories including investigative journalism, best news coverage, and best single feature. It is her desire to help Catholics, particularly Cradle Catholics, see the beauty in their faith which converts see and appreciate the fullness of truth which the Church has held and guarded throughout history. It is her desire all Catholics fall as much in love with Jesus as she is, and love the Church to a greater capacity than they could imagine.
