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.
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.

Like a few weeks ago, when he wrote in a Bible lesson that women lawmakers with young children at home are sinners.
"It is one thing for a mother to work out of her home while her children are in school," wrote Drollinger, president of a national Christian evangelical group known as Capitol Ministries and a former UCLA basketball player. "It is quite another matter to have children in the home and live away in Sacramento for four days a week. Whereas the former could be in keeping with the spirit of Proverbs 31, the latter is sinful."

Vice President Mike Pence, HUD Secretary Ben Carson, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, nominee for Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, HHS Secretary Tom Price, and Scott Pruitt, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, have all sponsored the Capitol Ministries Cabinet Bible study, according to literature put out by Capitol Ministries.
(Snip)
Now, Capitol Ministries holds three separate Bible Studies each week which it describes in its literature: one for Cabinet members (7:00 am Wednesdays Mornings. Location Undisclosed. Light Refreshments Served.); one for the Senate (8:00 am Tuesdays, Rotating Offices of Senators. Hot Breakfast Served.); and one for members of the House (Capitol H324: Monday or Tuesday Evenings after First Votes Back. Dinner Served.) In an interview in January, Drollinger described the House study as feeling like a truck stop and the Senate study feeling like a country club.
