U.S. Secretary Brooke Rollins—CapMin’s Washington, D.C., Bible Studies Bring Love and Joy of the Scriptures into the Policy Making Process

Secretary Brooke Rollins, who was named by President Donald Trump as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture earlier this month, has been a Capitol Ministries supporter since she served as acting director of the U.S. Domestic Policy Council in President Trump’s first administration.

We thought we would share some comments Secretary Rollins made about Capitol Ministries as a speaker at the 49^th meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in Atlanta, GA in 2022. She made her remarks after Ralph Drollinger, president and founder of Capitol Ministries, gave the opening prayer. Some of her comments follow:

“Ralph and Danielle are two of the greatest patriots who love God and love this country and who have done more to keep the spirit of God and the Bible and Scripture and Christ in our Washington Capitol.”

“I attend the Wednesday 7 a.m. Cabinet Bible study. They led a senior staff Bible study for us when were in office in the West Wing. They also lead Bible studies to the U.S. Senate and the House. They are extraordinary.

Secretary Rollins said she heartily supports Capitol Ministries’ efforts to expand Bible-study based discipleship ministries to public servants at other levels of government.

“I could not give them a higher endorsement for the work that they do, the mission they bring and the love and joy that moves into the policy making process through the connections that Ralph and Danielle are able to make through Scripture.”

“Thank you for your incredible work.”

Secretary Rollins participated in the Capitol Ministries White House Cabinet Bible Study during President Trump’s first administration. After the Members left office, Ralph has led Bible studies to them every week via Zoom. Next week, we will share some exciting news about reigniting the White House Cabinet Bible Study!

A Christian Congressman can’t separate his faith from the decisions he makes in office. Faith should be an integral part of a Christian’s life. Whether your job is running a business, or whether your job is being a laborer, or whether your job is being in the United States Congress, it really doesn’t matter; if your faith is integrated into your life, it is going to affect how you think, what you do, and how you act.“For me, my faith is the center of my life. The principles of my faith are found in the Bible. I read the Bible all the way through every year; I read Psalms and Proverbs through every month. And every day I look for a verse that I write down on a piece of paper and put in my pocket, knowing I will come across the reason it is there and, sure enough, that is how it works out. The biblical principles I live by, affect everything I do every day including making votes, meeting with constituents, or trying to serve the community in other ways. Faith can’t be pulled apart from other areas of life. You can’t separate faith and say, ‘I go to church on Sunday thatis the faith part of my life, and the rest of the week is the secular part of my life.’ You can’t live like that and have real faith. As a Christian, my faith affects everything I do.

As CapMin’s Director of Local Government Ministries, I am seeking qualified candidates to establish weekly Bible studies to city and county elected and appointed public servants across the United States. I also led the first LGM Bible study to city and county commissioners in the greater Sacramento, CA area. I taught the curriculum, Oaks in Office: Biblical Essays for Political Leaders, which contains the most pertinent Bible studies Ralph Drollinger, President and Founder of Capitol Ministries, has authored to meet the spiritual, personal, and professional needs of Christian legislators over his more than 25 year ministry. Our Sacramento group is still meeting to study the Bible and we are studying Oaks in Office a second time.

The experience was exhilarating to say the least! None of us had any idea that the Bible had so much to say about immigration, parenting, racism, deficit spending, and other contemporary issues. One elected official had planned to leave politics and now he says, “No wonder God has me in this position!“

As Christians, we sort of take biblical precepts and doctrines for granted, but when the issues are broken out in specific chapters like Ralph has done in Oaks in Office, they become very clear and very real.

This first group was pretty excited about this study and will be sharing their story with city and county commissioners around the country. Who knows where God will take this?

Ministries to local government public servants have been planted in California, Texas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Idaho, Missouri, Ohio, and in dozens of provinces and territories in European nations.
