Liberty University’s newly renamed think tank, the Standing for Freedom Center, has announced a slate of five new fellows, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Also named as fellows are Abby Johnson, an anti-abortion activist who used to work for Planned Parenthood, and Liberty alumni David and Jason Benham, twin brothers who were Minor League Baseball players and now are entrepreneurs and authors. The five will participate in the center’s virtual and eventual in-person events, as well as writing works related to the center’s mission of applying evangelical Christian beliefs to U.S. politics and culture, spokesperson Scott Lamb said Thursday.
Although the fellows will not be based in Lynchburg, they will likely deliver keynote addresses at the center once COVID-19 restrictions are further lifted in Virginia, allowing larger in-person gatherings, Scott said
