On this episode of Our American Stories, every Sunday, Our American Stories host Lee Habeeb speaks with Mitchel “Big Mitch” Rutledge, who has spent more than forty years serving a life sentence in Alabama for killing a man. Mitch has never denied his crime or offered excuses for it. Instead, their conversations focus on what responsibility, faith, and accountability look like when lived out behind prison walls.
In this episode, the discussion continues with Lee’s longtime friend Bo, who is grappling with the fallout of infidelity. This time, Bo’s wife Donna joins the conversation, sharing her own struggle to remain grounded in faith while navigating betrayal and uncertainty.
