Hey everyone and welcome to get your hopes up. I'm Christi right and I'm so glad you're here.

Romans 1513 says may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in

him so that you may overflow with hope by power of the Holy Spirit. Our God is the God of hope, and he

wants you to overflow with hope. So let's start our week by getting our hopes up again.

Now today we're talking about how to share your faith. I know many of you want to

share your faith more and you're not sure how and today we're going to talk about

exactly how to do that especially in a way that feels true and authentic to you.

Well, I want to start with a story because y'all love to start with a story, and this one goes back to college.

So I was a senior at the University of Tennessee and I was an advertising major. Well in our very final class it was

called advertising campaigns. We were put in groups and the whole purpose of this class was to use

all the knowledge we had gained the previous semesters,

put it together into one big campaign that we were going to present at the end of the semester

for a pretend client.

So each new year they would assign a client that each group was supposed to build a campaign around.

Well this particular semester we were all assigned the smart car 4-2.

Now if you don't know what the smart car is let me just tell you.

Imagine a tick-tack of a car.

Like, it's like the tiniest car you've ever seen.

It kind of looks like a roller skate.

It is so tiny you probably could fit it, I don't know,

in the trunk of your actual car right now.

Like it is so little.
