Here is Jay McGuirk the main talk from Leader Launch August 2023.
In this talk titled "Making Much of God Together," Jay McGuirk, speaking at Leader Launch 2023, emphasizes the importance of making much of God in our lives and in the context of D-Groups and Bible studies. He addresses the common tendency to live with a diminished view of God, leading to various issues such as anxiety, control, addiction, depression, debt, and dissatisfaction.
Jay highlights the need to live a unified life, avoiding the division of life into "two drawers" - one for real life and one for spiritual life. He stresses the importance of recognizing the impact of a diminished awe of God on our lives and the lives of those we lead.
Jay draws inspiration from Isaiah 40, showcasing the grandeur and glory of God, urging listeners to view life through the lens of this awesome God. By anchoring their faith in the unchanging glory of God, individuals can overcome challenges and live with a singular perspective on life, eliminating the need for two-drawer living.
The key message is to make much of God, allowing Him to become more significant in our lives and to lead others in doing the same, emphasizing unifying our lives under the awe and sovereignty of God.
