Photos organized by chapter, from Wyoming ranch country and the halls of power to mission fields in Africa and the front lines of American cultural renewal.
American Faith: Trust in God
My faith journey began in Sundance, Wyoming at the Church of the Good Shepherd. My parents were married on July 4, 1954, and built our family on a foundation of faith from the very beginning. In 1975 I enrolled at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma as a freshman. During those early days I spent many hours at the Prayer Tower on campus, where I first encountered Jesus in a very personal way and began my relationship with Him as a disciple and servant. Years later, both of my sons would graduate from ORU as well, which is one of the great joys of my life.
Not long after joining the First Presbyterian Church of Bentonville, Helen Walton asked me to become an elder. After telling her I was too young at age 23, she said, "You'll do just fine!" In 2024 I had the privilege of visiting Rwanda, a country that has experienced remarkable transformation through faith after one of history's darkest tragedies. Visiting Israel in 2023 was one of the best things I have ever done. Nothing compares with walking in the steps of Jesus in the Holy Land. I had the privilege of being baptized in the Jordan River, the same place Jesus was baptized.

Questions About the Photo Gallery
The gallery is organized by the chapters of Divine Disruption, from the Prologue and Introduction through Chapter Ten, the Conclusion, and About the Author, along with a tribute by West Doss. Each chapter section opens with its banner artwork, followed by photos and closing commentary attributed to Fritz Steiger.
The gallery runs from Wyoming ranch country and the halls of power to mission fields in Africa and the front lines of American cultural renewal, covering family, faith, politics, philanthropy, and the work of restoration. Chapter Two, American Roots: Born and Raised, reaches back to 1858, when Fritz Steiger's great-great-grandfather, Jakob Gsteiger, immigrated to America.
The commentary closing each chapter section is attributed to Fritz Steiger. In Chapter Six, American Public Policy: The Foundation for Freedom, he recounts co-founding the Texas Public Policy Foundation with Jim Leininger in 1989. In Chapter Five, he describes becoming Walmart's corporate affairs director at 25.
On desktop, the Chapters list beside the gallery jumps to any chapter. On smaller screens, the chapter strip at the top shows one chapter at a time, with an All option that shows the full gallery again. Selecting any photo opens it in a lightbox viewer for full-size viewing.
