Elder Aretha L. Grant
Believer, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Elder, Preacher, Bible Teacher, Breast Cancer Survivor, Life Coach, Sister, and Friend
Aretha was born and raised in Maryland where she experienced many of the temptations facing today’s youth. Heartbreak and the resulting depression from the death of her 22-month-old son, Anthony, when she was 17 and her mother died six months later, led Aretha to the Lord Jesus Christ in 1989. Aretha has been teaching the Word of God since 1998 and is an ordained Elder.
Aretha initially launched ReeINSPIRED as a simple blog to share her writings. Since its inception, the Lord has used ReeINSPIRED as an extension of Aretha’s biblical counseling and Bible study ministries and is now a platform for her Life Coaching business.
ReeINSPIRED exists simply to help women to bounce back from the challenges life throws at them. Aretha is a firm believer in Romans 8:28 and urges women to find the “good” in every hardship, obstacle, and trial they face.
A breast cancer survivor, Aretha knows full well the importance of having a relationship with the Lord and trusting His word and enjoys teaching women how to apply the Word of God to everyday situations. She has led multiple women’s groups, Women of Excellence, Women at the Well, and Breast Cancer Conquerors.
She currently still oversees Women at the Well at her local church where she meets monthly with the ladies on topics ranging from growing in Christ and nurturing godly marriages to how to let go of shame, regret, and unforgiveness. Breast Cancer Conquerors is a Christian Facebook group for current breast cancer patients and breast cancer survivors in which Aretha prays for the women and offers a judgment-free zone for them to express their fears and hopes.
Aretha married her best friend, Andre Grant, in October 2002 and together have four children, Jamal, Joshua, Alex, and Charis; and two grandchildren, Bailey and Avani. They also have a spiritual daughter, Tiffany, and a spiritual granddaughter, Amiya.
Aretha holds a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies and is an aspiring author with a few projects in the works. She’s working diligently to self-publish “Mornings with God”, a devotional on the book of Psalm, this year. You can download her FREE e-workbook “Forgiven to Forgive” and her study of Romans 12:2 directly from her website.
