won't update with iPhone

My laptop based message app doesn't sync with my phone anymore. I want to type messages on my laptop when it's available, send and receive as though it was my phone. What can I do to get my laptop up to sharing messages interchangeably with my phone?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14
