The hashtag #SpartansAllIn has started to appear in social media feeds and will continue to do so as certain MSU students vocalize their faith for all to hear.
Members of MSU Campus Crusade for Christ, or Cru, looks for new ways every academic year to proclaim the group's message to fellow students.
Economics senior Jake Fowler said the project is to show their peers the love of Jesus and what it has meant to each of them individually.
“It's been really cool to see so many different students post videos instead of just a couple,” Fowler said.
Students have been posting short videos in which they discuss their own relationship with Jesus.
"Pursuing a personal relationship with Jesus is a life UNWASTED and that's why I'm all in for following Jesus."Waddup y'all... this is a really SHORT video about why I absolutely love following Jesus. This isn't anything groundbreaking and it doesn't come close to the 'only' reason why Jesus is the most awesome. So if you're interested in asking questions or learning a little bit about who Jesus is, I would love nothing more than to buy you a coffee to sit and chat.

“Seniors got together from Cru and we (talked) a lot about how we one, wanted to focus on Jesus and two, how we can use social media to start the conversation about Jesus,” Fowler said.
Fowler said the different forms of social media aid greatly in getting messages out to such a large entity like MSU. He spearheaded the campaign with his peers, specifically upperclassmen Cru members.
Cru is a national organization with different chapters on college campuses.
"Social media is so huge these days, and you don't realize how much people are looking at your Facebook and reading your life front to back," nursing sophomore Nicole Krier said.
Krier said she hopes when people see the hashtag, it jumpstarts a conversation about belief and Jesus.
Hi guys! This is a super brief video about why I’m all in for following Jesus and why I choose to live a life continuously surrendered to Him. My true identity is in God's name alone & this identity is eternal--not temporary-- and NEVER changing. This identity and relationship is everything that my heart is searching for. This isn’t even close to explaining what Jesus has done for us all or the only reason why I choose to live for Him, but if you’re interested in learning more let me know!Check out #SpartansAllIn to see why more students are all in for Jesus. GO GREEN :)

"We're not trying to push anything on others, we just want to explain 'why am I personally all in for this,''' Krier said.
Krier said CRU members plan to flood social media, specifically the MSU campus Snapchat on Thursday, in order to share their experience with Jesus and entice students to look up the hashtag.
"This opens all these doors for people to hear the stories of other Spartans on campus," Krier said.
