Description
Tweens and teens will encounter much-needed hope, read inspiring true stories, and learn to love generously and why connection matters in this 90-day devotional from Carlos Whittaker, bestselling author, activist, and head of the "Instafamilia," a hope-minded online community. With Bible truths, stories of real hope and joy, and Carlos's "let's do this" energy, kids will be empowered to thrive no matter how life tries to discourage them, put them down, make them anxious, or cause them to feel isolated.
In Get Your Hopes Up, young people will
connect Bible verses with real-life stories of finding and spreading hope,
see prayer in action today,
discover ways to advocate for the marginalized, and
learn to lead with love and fight for change.
In this plugged-in world, the lines between childhood and adulthood have become blurred, and kids are exposed to hate, division, injustice, and negative emotions earlier than ever. Knowing where to find truth and positive environments can be confusing. Jesus gave us something long ago, though, that helps us remain grounded and steady in the face of all that's broken in our world: hope.

Reviews / Votes
'As a therapist who has been working with kids for 30 years, I have never felt like hope was needed as much as it is today. We are watching too many of the kids we love struggle with anxiety, depression, purposelessness and a lack of confidence in who they are or how deeply God loves them. I am beyond thrilled for one of the voices I trust most in this world to speak directly into that void. In 'Get Your Hopes Up', my wise and wildly hopeful friend, Carlos, speaks to the truths I believe this generation needs desperately to hear. I can't wait to see the difference this book is going to make in the lives and hearts and hopes of so many.' * Sissy Goff, LPC-MHSP, Executive Director of Daystar Counseling, podcast host and bestselling author of The Worry-Free Parent * 'Carlos is the ultimate HOPE hype-man for this next generation and 'Get Your Hopes Up' is exactly what these world changers need to encourage them on their journey.' * Paula Faris: Journalist, Author, Founder of CARRY (TM) Media *More details

Person
Carlos Whittaker is bringing hope to humans all over the world. And he's pretty good at it: he's an author, podcaster, and global speaker backed by the power of a massive Instafamilia, his enthusiastic social followers who tune in daily to join forces with Carlos to find connection, do good, and be in community.
When Carlos enters a room, he makes people feel seen. His superpower is creating spaces-online and in-person-where people are safe to engage in conversation about the topics that matter most but are often avoided. His motto: don't stand on issues, walk with people. That's the professional stuff-but all day every day, Carlos is a family man.
He and his wife Heather live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their three amazing children, where you can find them working on the family farm, planning trips around the world, and dancing to Single Ladies (seriously, Google it).
