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 I'm so excited about today y'all and next week because I'm getting to sit down with one of my very good friends in real life, Annie F. Downs. And you know Annie from the fact that she's a New York Times best selling author, famous podcaster, just the expert of all things fun. But behind the scenes, me and Annie are real friends in real life. And I remember you, Annie, from like working at the coffee shop.

I think I'm going to go do this and self-publish a book day.

So, hey, thanks for being here.

Yeah.

I mean, you and I were in a small group together in 2012 at Crosspoint.

Isn't that right?
