  • Brother, Sister, and a Historic Season at Freed-Hardeman

    Brother, Sister, and a Historic Season at Freed-Hardeman
    Mar 21 2026
    On this special game day edition of The Mark White Show, I'm joined by Drew and Abby Stutts of Freed-Hardeman University. This story began with a message from a proud dad in the Shoals, Miles Stutts, who simply wanted to share what his children were accomplishing. That message led to a conversation about family, leadership, and a season that may be historic. Both Drew and Abby led their teams to number one seeds in the NAIA National Tournament, something we’re being told may be the first time for one school, and possibly the first time a brother and sister have achieved it together. Now, the story meets real life. Abby’s season has come to an end after an incredible run, while Drew’s team advances to the quarterfinals. In this conversation, they share their journey, the role their family played in shaping them, what it means to lead young people, and how they handle both success and disappointment. This is more than a basketball story. It’s a story about impact, perspective, and purpose. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™️

    Make A Difference Minute: Outdoor Ability Foundation Changing Lives
    Mar 21 2026
    On this Make A Difference Minute, we’re reminded that access is something most of us never think about until it’s taken away. Scott Phillips of the Outdoor Ability Foundation shares what happens when a child who once had to watch from a distance is finally able to be part of the moment. Through all-terrain chairs, kids who once sat on the sidelines are now exploring backyards, trails, and open spaces with freedom and independence. One young boy, Colton Moore, experienced snow in his own backyard for the very first time. That’s not just a moment. That’s a life-changing experience.

  • A Little Girl, A Big Fight, and the Dog She’s Waiting For

    A Little Girl, A Big Fight, and the Dog She’s Waiting For
    Mar 21 2026
    On this episode of The Mark White Show, we're sharing the story of 8-year-old Atlas, a brave young girl in Kentucky living with Type 1 diabetes, and her mom, Rachel Redwine, who is doing everything she can to keep her safe. Managing type 1 is a constant, around-the-clock responsibility. It doesn’t stop at bedtime, and it doesn’t take a day off. For Atlas, every day requires awareness, strength, and courage beyond her years. Now, Rachel is working to bring home a diabetic alert dog. A specially trained companion that can detect dangerous blood sugar changes before they become life-threatening, offering Atlas more safety, more independence, and more peace of mind. There’s one detail you won’t forget. Atlas has already built a crate for her dog. She’s waiting. She believes. Sarah is joining me as we talk about how this journey is unfolding and how you can be part of helping Atlas get the support she needs. Listen & share.
