Rooted in Faith and the Game | John White

In Episode 2 of Called 2 Compete, co-hosts Tory Jackson and Brian “LB” Booker sit down with Pastor John White — Senior Pastor at King of Kings International Church and Head Basketball Coach at Detroit Renaissance High School. Together, they explore what it means to be rooted in faith as both coaches and mentors, and how spiritual values shape their approach to competition and leadership. White shares personal stories from his playing and coaching days, insights from his community work through the Unity Through Hoops food pantry event in Detroit, and the inspiration behind his books The Black Athlete Volumes 1 and 2. This episode is a powerful reminder that faith and basketball can go hand-in-hand in building character, purpose, and unity both on and off the court.
