In Episode 67 Pastor Marc Tibbs of Akron Centenary United Methodist Church shares that since he was young, he’s struggled with hearing God call him into a life of ministry.

Tibbs shares, “Whenever I found myself close enough to a pastor I would always ask, ‘how do you know youhave been called?’ When you ask people you get a myriad number of answers, and none of those answers I could identify with, but I just kept asking.”

As an adult he was still wrestling as he supported his daughter while she attended a Ministerial Recruitment Institute event. That night, one of the speakers asked, “who isstruggling with a call to ministry?”

“That particular night when I thought about it, I heard the Holy Spirit say to me, ‘you know you’ve been called because you keep asking the question,’” Tibbs shared. Learn more about the East Ohio Conference at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eocumc.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠
