Have you ever wondered why connecting with God as Father feels so difficult?

Have your experiences with your earthly father affected how you view God as your Heavenly Father? In this powerful opening message from the DADDY ISSUES series, Pastor Ricky Ortiz breaks down how our perceptions of God the Father are often distorted by our relationships with our earthly fathers.

Whether you had an amazing dad, a difficult relationship with your father, or grew up without one at all, this message will help you see God’s true father heart in a fresh way. Just like 3D glasses help transform blurry images into clear pictures, Ricky shows how Jesus serves as our corrective lens to truly see and understand the Father.

1 John 3:1 says, “See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!” We’ve been called children by God Himself, but many times, our understanding of God the Father is limited by our experiences with our earthly fathers. “More than just about anything else, your view of God, the Heavenly Father, is often a projection of, or a rejection from, your earthly father.” – Pastor Ricky

Even if you’ve grown up in church, you may be carrying wounds that prevent you from truly experiencing God as your loving Father. This message speaks directly to:

  • Those struggling with rejection or abandonment issues
  • Anyone questioning if God truly loves them
  • People who feel they need to earn God’s approval
  • Those who feel God might disappoint them or let them down
  • Anyone who wonders if God is angry with them

In this transformative message, Ricky breaks down Jesus’ teachings from John 14 to reveal three essential truths:

  1. You Know the Father by Becoming His child – Discover the exclusive but inclusive path to becoming God’s child through faith in Jesus
  2. You See the Father by Looking at Jesus – Learn how Jesus perfectly reveals the Father’s character, actions, and heart toward you
  3. You Experience the Father when you believe – Understand how simple belief activates your experience of God’s fatherhood

🌱 This Message is Perfect for:

  • Anyone dealing with father wounds or “daddy issues”
  • Those feeling distant from God
  • Christians wanting deeper intimacy with God as Father
  • People questioning God’s love for them
  • Anyone raised with unhealthy views of fatherhood
  • Those who grew up without a father figure

If you’ve ever felt God was distant, angry, or disappointed in you, this message will transform your understanding of who He truly is and how deeply He loves you. Don’t miss this first installment in our powerful “Daddy Issues” series aimed at helping you experience the Father’s heart in all its fullness.
