Indianapolis Colts safety Cam Bynum joins Jade McCarthy (in for Matt Forte) on the Sports Spectrum Podcast. Bynum talks about the celebrations that have become his trademark, a habit that started with televised high school games in Southern California, and how living with the joy of the Lord shapes the way he plays, leads, and walks through a season of change in Indianapolis.He opens up about leaning on his faith through losses, roster changes, and the trade deadline, praying each day to be a light in the Colts locker room instead of falling into complaint. He also shares about serving with his foundation in the Philippines and in Indy, doing life and holiday outreach with his wife and their 18-month-old daughter, and representing his Filipino heritage. His goal, he says, is "to always make Jesus famous before me."This episode includes a brief message from Operation Christmas Child about National Collection Week, November 16–23.
