Strike the Match with J. D. Payne is a podcast devoted to matters related to missions, innovation, and leadership. Each episode challenges listeners to be students of both God's Word and God's world.

Reflecting on his first transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh said, "I was astonished at the effect my successful landing in France had on nations of the world. To me, it was like a match lighting a bonfire." While we are not in the aviation business, it is our hope each podcast will be transformational, informational, and inspirational as you labor for the five billion who have not heard of Jesus!

J. D. Payne (Ph.D.) is professor of Christian Ministry at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. He is the author of several books and may be contacted at [email protected] or found on-line at www.jdpayne.org and @jd_payne .
