Bible Studies at the White House: Who's at the Heart of This Spiritual Awakening?"It's the best Bible study that I've ever taught in my life. They are so teachable; they're so noble; they're so learned." -Ralph Drollinger of Capitol Ministries (Washington, DC)—[CBN News] A spiritual awakening is underway at the White House. (Screengrab: Capitol Ministries-Bible study leader Ralph Drollinger/via CBN News) Some of the most powerful people in America have been gathering weekly to learn more about God's Word, and this Trump Cabinet Bible study is making history. They've been called the most evangelical Cabinet in history—men and women who don't mince words when it comes to where they stand on God and the Bible. Ralph Drollinger of Capitol Ministries told CBN News, "These are godly individuals that God has risen to a position of prominence in our culture." They're all hand-picked by President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. "I don't think Donald Trump has figured out that he chained himself to the Apostle Paul," Drollinger laughed. Drollinger is a former NBA-playing giant of a man with an even bigger calling. He founded Capitol Ministries with the idea that if you change the hearts of lawmakers, then their Christian world view will guide them to make good policies. He's started Bible studies in 40 state capitols, a number of foreign capitols, teaches weekly studies in the U.S. House and Senate and now leads about a dozen members of President Trump's Cabinet in weekly studies of the Scriptures. Health Secretary Tom Price, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Education Secretary Betsy Devos, Agriculture Secretary Sunny Perdue, and CIA Director Mike Pompeo are just a few of the regulars. "It's the best Bible study that I've ever taught in my life. They are so teachable; they're so noble; they're so learned," Drollinger said. It's groundbreaking since he doesn't think a formal Bible study among executive Cabinet members has been done in at least 100 years. America's top cop, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, also attends the study. "He'll (Jeff Sessions) go out the same day I teach him something and I'll see him do it on camera and I just think, 'Wow, these guys are faithful, available and teachable and they're at Bible study every week they're in town,'" Drollinger said. President Trump is invited to attend the Bible studies, too. Each week he receives a copy of Drollinger's teaching. And Vice President Pence is also planning to join the study as his schedule permits. He also serves as a sponsor. (Screengrab: White House meeting/via CBN News) In Pence, Drollinger sees many similarities to Biblical figures like Joseph, Mordecai and Daniel—all men who rose to the number two position in governments at different times in history. "Mike Pence has respect for the office. He dresses right—like it says Joseph cleaned himself up before he went to stand before the Pharaoh," Drollinger told CBN News. "Mike Pence has uncompromising Biblical tenacity and he has a loving tone about him that's not just a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal," he continued. "And then fourthly, he brings real value to the head of the nation." Like others, Drollinger often compares President Trump to Biblical strongman Samson. "I just praise God for them," he said. "And I praise God for Mike Pence, who I think with Donald Trump chose great people to lead our nation."
