LYNCHBURG, Va., April 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Standing
for Freedom Center at Liberty
University is proud to announce a new line of fellows. These
experts will be influential in applying a biblical impact on the
culture while advancing the cause of freedom.
The new lineup of fellows includes former Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo, former Arkansas Gov. Mike
Huckabee, pro-life activist Abby
Johnson, and Christian entrepreneurs David and Jason Benham.
Standing for Freedom Center Executive Director Ryan Helfenbein said, "These fellows embody the
core of what our center stands for: faith, freedom, and engaging
culture with gospel-centered truth. I'm proud to have these
faithful world-changers on board with us and am excited to see our
center grow with them."
Sec. Pompeo brings a wealth of political and ministerial
knowledge to the Standing for Freedom Center. As Secretary of State
with the Trump administration, he developed a fierce defensive
posture for religious liberty on an international scale. Sec.
Pompeo will be serving as a senior advisor.
Gov. Huckabee also brings a deep understanding of faith and
policy to a culture that desperately needs it, having served 12
years as a pastor, Governor of Arkansas from 1996-2007, and now as host of
"Huckabee," a weekly talk show on TBN where he discusses the
integration of faith and politics.
Abby Johnson is a leading voice
for the pro-life cause. Having worked for Planned Parenthood for
nearly a decade, she now exposes the horror of abortion by leading
And Then There Were None, a group that urges abortion employees to
leave the industry and provides counseling for those who do.
David and Jason Benham, both
Liberty University alumni, are former
professional baseball players, nationally acclaimed entrepreneurs,
and bestselling authors. They became cancel culture before it was a
popular hashtag, as they lost their HGTV reality show. Yet they
continue to hold Christian values dear and encourage others to do
the same.
As the Standing for Freedom Center continues to grow, these
influencers who have joined its cause will equip a young generation
of Christians to be bold in their faith wherever God calls them to
serve.
