You Were

to Live Like
an Orphan.

The Orphan Mindset

You Can Belong to God
and Still Think
Like an Orphan.

Most people do not know there is a name for what they are carrying. Fear of rejection. Striving to earn love. Feeling like you never quite fit. Hiding after failure. Trying to prove your worth.

These patterns have a name. Orphan thinking. And it is possible to belong to God while still living under its weight.

These patterns may describe how you learned to survive. They do not have to define how you live.

Fear of rejection
Striving to earn love
Difficulty trusting God
Feeling like you never belong
Comparison
Scarcity mindset
Isolation
Performance
Hiding after failure
Proving your worth
The Good News

Jesus Did More Than
Forgive You. He Brought
You Into a Family.

God created us for relationship with Him. Sin separated humanity from that relationship. Jesus made reconciliation and adoption possible through His life, death, and resurrection.

Through faith in Jesus, you are not just forgiven. You are welcomed into the family of God. The Holy Spirit then assures you that you belong.

This is not earned through performance. It is received by grace. You do not have to earn a place that grace has already given you.

"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."

John 14:18 NIV

"The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, 'Abba, Father.'"

Romans 8:15 NIV

"So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir."

Galatians 4:7 NIV
What Changes

What Changes When You
Know You Belong?

This is not a program. It is a journey home. And it goes deeper than you might expect.

01
Find Hope

Hope is not just a feeling. Hope has a name and His name is Jesus. You are not abandoned. You are not forgotten. You are wanted.

02
Walk in Freedom

You begin replacing orphan thinking with biblical truth. Jesus has made freedom possible and you do not have to learn to walk in it alone.

03
Discover Your Identity

You stop allowing pain, failure, rejection, or other people to name you. Your story may explain you but it does not get to define you.

04
Receive Your Inheritance

You learn what belongs to you in Christ. Access to the Father. The Holy Spirit. The promises of God. A future not controlled by your past.

05
Live Your Purpose

You begin living from acceptance instead of striving for it. Purpose grows out of belonging. You serve because you are loved, not to earn love.

06
Help Someone Come Home

Your healing becomes a doorway. Then you help someone else come home to the Father. The vision is not to create readers. It is to raise up sons and daughters.

The Simple Path

Find Hope. Walk in Freedom.
Live in Purpose.

Find Hope

Hope is not only a feeling. Hope has a name and His name is Jesus. You do not have to keep looking for something that has already found you.

Walk in Freedom

Freedom begins when you stop living like you are still unwanted. Jesus made it possible. You do not have to walk this road alone.

Live in Purpose

Purpose grows out of belonging. You do not serve to earn love. You serve because you are loved and you know whose you are.

Pastor Chris Martinez
This Message Was Born From a Real Story

A Faithful Father.
An Unwanted Child.
A New Identity.

Chris Martinez entered foster care at age two. By age eleven he had lived with thirteen families. He knows what rejection, abandonment, and the feeling of not belonging can do to a person from the inside out.

His story is not the story of a man who rescued himself. It is the story of a faithful Father who met an unwanted child, gave him a new identity, and taught him that his past did not have the authority to name his future.

Chris is still a person in process. He does not have all the answers. But he has found the One who does, and he has been called to help others find their way home to Him.

The Adopted By The King Declaration
I am not abandoned.
I am not forgotten.
I am not defined by what happened to me.
Through Jesus, I have been welcomed into the family of God.
I am loved by the Father.
I have a new identity.
I have a spiritual inheritance.
I have a God given purpose.
I was never meant to live like an orphan.
I am Adopted By The King.

You are wanted. You are welcomed. You belong.

Rooted in the Word

Every Resource. Every Teaching.
Built on Scripture.

Adopted By The King is not built on Chris's story. His story illustrates the truth. The Word of God is the authority.

"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."

John 14:18 NIV

"The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, 'Abba, Father.'"

Romans 8:15 NIV

"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children."

Romans 8:16 NIV

"So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir."

Galatians 4:7 NIV
The Father Is Still Calling

You Do Not Have to Live
Like You Are Still Unwanted.

Your past may explain some of your wounds. It does not get to decide your identity. The Father is calling His sons and daughters home.

You are wanted. You are welcomed. You belong.
