Starting today, former NFL star Matt Forte will be the new co-host of the Sports Spectrum Podcast. Forte brings his unique background as an elite running back and his deep faith in Jesus to the popular podcast alongside current host Jason Romano.
Forte, a two-time Pro Bowler and former Chicago Bears and New York Jets running back, amassed nearly 10,000 rushing yards in his career, becoming the Bears’ second all-time rushing leader behind Walter Payton. Forte is remembered not only for his toughness between the tackles but also for boldly living out his faith on the field and in the locker room.
“I cannot wait to get started with Sports Spectrum,” Forte said. “The way they highlight Christ through the platform of sports aligns perfectly with my God-given purpose in life. I’m a child of God before anything else, so to be able to glorify the Lord in this way and share incredible sports stories and testimonies is the perfect combination for me.”
Romano, a former Emmy Award-winning ESPN producer who worked on “SportsCenter,” “NFL Live,” “First Take” and more, started the podcast when he joined Sports Spectrum in 2017. He will join Forte every episode as the pair talks to the biggest names in sports and discusses issues relevant to faith, sports and culture.
“Matt is such a great addition to the Sports Spectrum team,” Romano said. “He’s so strong in his faith in Christ, and I’m so excited for our listeners and viewers to not only hear his wisdom but experience how he converses with athletes so well. This show is only getting better with Matt on our team.”
On today’s podcast episode, Matt Forte is introduced as the new pro athlete voice on the show and shares why he feels like this opportunity is the right “yes” to use sports as a vehicle to share the Gospel.
