"There are a number of men and women on the Cabinet who have a Bible study every Wednesday morning," Perry told CBN's Jenna Browder. "Number one, it gives us an opportunity to see each other outside of our normal work environment, but it's also sending a message that this administration bases its life experiences on Biblical values."

Ralph Drollinger of Capitol Ministries leads the Bible study.

In addition to Perry, other attendees include Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Attorney General Jeff Sessions are also part of the group. Vice President Mike Pence goes when he can and Drollinger tells CBN News Trump also gets a copy of the weekly teaching.

"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.

Meanwhile, Perry gives credit to Trump for his leadership on the faith front.

"It starts at the top from the standpoint of this is a president that's not afraid to stand up and say, 'Hey, I'm not perfect, but I know the Guy that is perfect and I'm trying to follow those instructions,'" Perry told CBN News. "That's a really good place to start from my perspective." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here.
