The Nation Needs Our Intervention—Now! 

Divine Disruption 2.0: Restoring America to God’s Providence 

Fritz Steiger’s book is part memoir, part historical reflection, and part call to action. He recounts his personal journey from humble beginnings on a Wyoming ranch to positions of influence in business, philanthropy, and public policy. Along the way, Fritz argues that God’s providence has guided both his life and the history of America, and he urges readers to become what he calls “holy disruptors”—people who courageously advance biblical principles in a culture increasingly hostile to them.  “I wrote the book for my children and grandchildren,” Fritz explains.  “I’ve had a front-row seat to many things a lot of people have not,” he says, referring to his involvement in business, politics, and non-profit foundations.  Fritz says he wants to share with younger people how these institutions work and encourage them to get involved.  

The Meaning of “Divine Disruption”

The central theme of the book is that God often works through unexpected interruptions, crises, and challenges. Fritz describes key moments in his own life that altered his trajectory and ultimately led him into opportunities for leadership and service. One dramatic example that opens the book involves a frightening incident while traveling with Walmart Founder Sam Walton, when Walton suddenly appeared to stop breathing during a flight.  (The plane landed, he was soon seen by a doctor, and all was well.)  Fritz grew up with the Waltons as fellow church members, and in his early twenties, was asked by Walton to work for Walmart, eventually as their Corporate Affairs manager.  “He was like a father to me,” Fritz says of their relationship. 

He uses this and other life-changing events as illustrations of how disruptions can become turning points when viewed through the lens of faith. From his viewpoint, disruption itself is not inherently good. It can be destructive when driven by selfish ambition, but when guided by biblical convictions, it can become a powerful force for renewal and transformation. Fritz contends that many of history's greatest advances came through individuals willing to challenge the status quo for righteous purposes. 

Family Heritage and Early Influences

A significant portion of the book explores Fritz's family history, tracing roots back to Switzerland and following generations who embraced hard work, faith, and personal responsibility. He presents these family stories not merely as genealogy but as evidence of God's providential hand working across generations. Growing up on a Wyoming ranch shaped Fritz's worldview. He learned lessons about perseverance, self-reliance, integrity, and stewardship that later influenced his leadership philosophy. These early experiences convinced him that strong families and faith communities are foundational to both personal flourishing and national strength. 

Leadership in Business and Public Life

Fritz's career brought him into contact with influential leaders; Sam Walton, as mentioned, and George H.W. Bush, whose campaign he advised. He recounts lessons learned from these relationships and reflects on the importance of visionary leadership. He also discusses his role in launching and leading organizations such as the Walmart Foundation, the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Children First America, and the Justice Foundation, all of which have been influential in the culture for the pro-life and educational choice causes and are still going strong today. Throughout these stories, Fritz emphasizes that leadership is not simply about achieving success but about influencing culture according to enduring moral principles. He argues that Christians should engage actively in “the seven mountains” of church, family, business, government, education, public policy, and the arts. 

America's Providential Story

One of the book's most distinctive arguments is that America cannot be fully understood apart from the concept of divine providence. Fritz contends that God's guidance has been woven throughout the nation's history and that many of America's founding ideals emerged from a biblical worldview. He expresses concern that modern culture often minimizes or rejects this spiritual heritage. According to Fritz, institutions such as education, media, and popular culture have increasingly promoted narratives that obscure the role of faith in shaping the nation. He believes this has contributed to moral confusion and cultural decline. While his analysis is unapologetically conservative, he frames the discussion as more than a political debate. Instead, he presents it as a spiritual struggle over truth, freedom, responsibility, and the future direction of the country. To illustrate that point, Fritz quotes English philosopher and politician Edmund Burke, who said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”  

He also acknowledges that politics in general has changed dramatically in his lifetime. “I was raised in a world where Democrats and Republicans had small differences on issues like taxes.  We shared a common love for America, a common reverence for God, and a common belief in our national purpose.  It took a very long time for some of use to ‘catch on’ to the reality that the Left no longer shared our values and our premises.”   

Becoming “Holy Disruptors”

Perhaps the most important message of the book is Fritz's call for readers to become "holy disruptors." He defines these individuals as people who are willing to challenge cultural trends when those trends conflict with biblical truth. Such disruption is not characterized by anger or hostility but by courage, conviction, and faithfulness. Fritz encourages Christians to engage their communities, influence public institutions, defend religious liberty, protect the vulnerable, and strengthen families. He believes that lasting societal change begins with transformed individuals who are willing to live out their faith publicly and consistently. 

One prime example Fritz offers of a holy disruptor is President Donald Trump.  He says many people, including himself, were not at all enthusiastic about Trump’s candidacy in 2016, but Fritz has come to change his mind.  “When the entire system is rotting, we need more than a traditionalist conservative dedicated to preserving that system.  We need a prophetic innovator with the foresight and courage to envision something better -- and to call us back to our true purpose,” Fritz says.  “Donald Trump understood the basic truth that had eluded so many: The problem with big government wasn’t that it was wasteful.  The problem was that the government was entirely controlled by the Deep Sate – unelected, often anonymous officials with a demonic and destructive agenda.  This Deep State had become the fourth branch of government with just as much, or even more power than the executive, legislative, or judicial branches, in many ways.” 

Faith, Family, and Legacy

Another recurring theme is legacy. As a father of six, Fritz repeatedly returns to the question of what kind of nation and culture future generations will inherit. He argues that faith must be intentionally passed from one generation to the next and that parents, grandparents, churches, and community leaders all play a vital role in this process. The book presents family as one of God's primary instruments for preserving values and transmitting faith. Fritz believes that cultural renewal begins not in Washington or corporate boardrooms but in homes where faith, character, and responsibility are cultivated. 

Overall Message

Divine Disruption is ultimately an optimistic book. Although Fritz acknowledges serious cultural and political challenges, he rejects despair. He argues that God continues to work through ordinary people who are willing to respond faithfully to His calling. The disruptions facing America today, he suggests, may actually be opportunities for spiritual awakening and national renewal. The book's central takeaway is that God's providence remains active in history, and believers should not merely observe cultural change but participate in shaping it. Through faith, courage, and principled leadership, Fritz believes individuals can help restore what he sees as America's moral and spiritual foundations.
