Get Your Hopes Up
Description
Tweens 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, 8 to 12-year olds 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.

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).
