Kaitlin Grear
Staff Care & Mentoring
I started life in Kentucky and Tennessee but I’ve
spent most of my life in the Cincinnati area. I’ve been married for ten years
to Andy Grear and we have four sweet boys and one lady baby. We live on mission with the Lord
in Price Hill tucked away in some old property that we enjoy sharing with our
family and community. I am the oldest daughter of Dwight and Stephanie Young
so I have been with BLOC since its beginning. I officially began working in
Price Hill with BLOC in 2005. Because of our growing family, my role within BLOC has
changed through the years. I am currently part of the spiritual direction team and
help with staff care and mentoring. I love the heart of this ministry - to follow the Spirit
wherever He may take us and to love and care for the people God puts in our
way - specifically our neighbors. That is a mission I hope I always have no
matter where I go. I love being part of the team that works that out to the
best we can week in and week out. I hope to continue to help discern God’s heart and
purpose for this collection of His body. We want to be followers that have our
ear bent toward Him and who are willing to move when He says move. I hope to
see our neighborhood walk into the freedom God offers when we follow Him.
"Love your brother, and make it your ambition to lead a quiet life
and to attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we have
commanded you, so that you will behave properly to outsiders and will not be in
any need." - 1 Thessalonians 4:9-13 (paraphrased)
"Therefore we do not lose
heart, though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day
by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal
glory that far outweighs us all. So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but
on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
