Bob McEwen, registered foreign agent for Ukraine in 2018-2019, is on Donald Trump's list of national security endorsers. He is a co-chair of the Council for National Policy. He met with Manafort backer Kolesnikov in 2016 and used to work with Roger Stone.
On March 29, 2016, Paul Manafort sent a message through
Konstantin Kilimnik to Borys Kolesnikov inviting him to help with the Trump campaign. Kolesnikov had been paying Manafort. Bob McEwen met with Kolesnikov on June 1, 2016.
Bob McEwen has multiple contacts with Ukraine.

George Barna's United in Purpose data from churches fell into Russian hands.


The documentary came out this week:
Bob McEwen, listed by Trump today as one of his endorsers, is Executive Director of The Council for National Policy and a paid foreign agent.

He met with a Ukrainian-paying-Manafort at a Prayer Breakfast (The Family @JeffSharlet).
1. Trump should not be associating with registered foreign agents like McEwen.
2. Prayer Breakfast people should not be associated with people like McEwen.
3. Because McEwen is Executive Director of the Council for National Policy, moral people should not be associated with it.
"Although McEwen is not a registered lobbyist, he did sign on as a 'consultant' in a FARA registration filed by the Livingston Group to work on behalf of 'International Technology & Business Consulting LLC,' run by a Ukrainian man named Sergei Krasnitsk."
"FARA records reveal foreign agents and lobbyists on the payroll of Livingston Group, a lobbying firm run by former Rep. Bob Livingston (R-La.) . . . former Congressman-turned-lobbyist Bob McEwen (R-Ohio) also introduced Tymoshenko to Rudy Giuliani."
"This meeting was with Borys Kolesnikov, a former top deputy to Yanukovych. During Manafort's trial, former business partner Rick Gates reportedly testified that both Akhmetov and Kolesnikov wired money to Manafort's offshore account . . .
…The itinerary also says that a 3rd man would attend the Kolesnikov meeting: Former Rep. Bob McEwen (R-Ohio). McEwen has spent years as a lobbyist, including work as a registered foreign agent. Like Aderholt, McEwen has ties to the Fellowship Foundation."
Yulia Tymoshenko, known as a top liar in Ukraine, was trying to get help from the US.
Livingston, who Bob McEwen worked for, had been pushing for the ouster of ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, since the summer before Tymoshenko met with Giuliani.

"Altogether, their services cost $780,000 a year. That’s more than Tymoshenko has declared owning and much more than she as a lawmaker can legally accept as a gift."
Also "The Livingston Group was hired for $20,000 by...including oligarch Rinat Akhmetov."

The same data was used by the 2016 Trump campaign. See
Bob McEwen 3 Sketchy Incidents:
1. His United in Purpose church data profiles on a Russian criminal site in 2015.
2. Met with Manafort backer Kolesnikov in 2016 on trip funded by The Fellowship.
3. Was paid in 2018 to introduce Tymoshenko to Giuliani who inquired about Burisma.

"Leadership" is often an incoherent field of study. Often it's anecdotal. "Here's what I did to ... win the game ... make a lot of money ... win the war ... win an election."
But below I sketch a few conceptual foundations of Leadership and note their practical value. 👇
Properly, Leadership is a subdiscipline of Ethics (how to live well), which is a subdiscipline of Philosophy.
Within Christianity, Leadership is also properly a subdiscipline of Ethics (how to live well with the presupposition God has spoken in Scripture and in Jesus Christ), which is a subdiscipline of Theology.

- 79% of Americans are comfortable with a female pastor, but only 39% of evangelicals.
- 72.8% of evangelicals are fine with a woman preaching on Sunday morning.
- 3% of evangelical congregations and 30% of mainline congregations have a female senior pastor.

See sources below.
According to a 2016 Barna survey,
79% of Americans would be comfortable with a female priest or pastor.

But only 39% of evangelicals would be.
Only 13.5% of U.S. congregations in 2018-2019 had a female as the head or senior clergyperson.
Or slicing the data differently, only 7.4% of U.S. attendees attend a congregation with a female as the head or senior clergyperson.

These pieces are revealing. For them, Christianity is using any means necessary to rally people to make America more like 1980's white Christianity. It is not humbly reading the Bible together so as to learn how to act like Jesus.
,
They did in their youth read the Bible and became convinced about what it was saying to American culture. And now they are in a position of power to rally people to that. But did we stop reading the Bible afresh? Is Christian political coercion of non-Christians the right goal?
Is not the political witness of Christians primarily one of example, of love, of integrity, and sharing of the hope that there is a God who is bringing a kingdom of love? Yes, advocate in the public sphere for the common good. Be salt and light. But still act like Jesus!
