On Father’s Day at Tampa Life Church, Pastor Robert Tisdale honors dads and encourages men to lead their families in prayer and spiritual initiative, noting the church has more men attending than women. He then begins a new message, “Not Mud: Trees,” contrasting a messy miracle with an incomplete one, and teaches from Mark 8:22–26 about the blind man who is brought to Jesus by others’ faith. Pastor emphasizes that believers initiate by bringing others to Jesus, that miracles often require separation from unhealthy environments like Bethsaida, and that Jesus’ personal, sometimes uncomfortable methods can awaken faith before full clarity comes. He urges honest confession about partial healing (“I see men as trees”), warns against settling for distortion, and calls the congregation to ask Jesus to “touch me again” for complete transformation.
