Jay Payleitner Biography
Jay Payleitner spent a decade in major market advertising. Learning how people think and doing some fun work.
But God called him into Christian media. And he became an almost-too-busy freelance producer. For more than a decade, Payleitner scripted and produced Josh McDowell Radio, Today's Father, Jesus Freaks Radio with TobyMac and Michael Tait, Project Angel Tree with Chuck Colson, and thousands of hours of radio that aired across the country and beyond.
Payleitner is a long-time affiliate with the National Center for Fathering and nationally-known motivational speaker for Iron Sharpens Iron, marriage conferences, men's retreats, women's events, writers' conferences, and weekend services.
Payleitner has sold more than half million books including the bestselling "52 Things Kids Need from a Dad," "The Jesus Dare," and "What If God Wrote Your Bucket List?" His latest is "Happy Semiquincentennial, America! 250 Reasons Why America Is Still Worth Celebrating."
Payleitner's books have been translated into French, German, Spanish, Italian, Afrikaans, Indonesian, Slovenian, Polish, and Russian.
He has been a guest multiple times on "The Harvest Show," "100 Huntley Street," Moody Radio, "Building Relationships with Gary Chapman," Cornerstone TV, and "Focus on the Family."
Payleitner and his high school sweetheart, Rita, live in the Chicago area where they’ve raised five great kids, loved on ten foster babies, and are cherishing grandparenthood.
