Show Summary:
Jessica Bearden works as a Licensed Professional Counselor just outside Houston, Texas. She has experience working with both court-ordered and voluntary substance abuse clients. She is the host of the Session in Progress: Bible Devotionals podcast, where she encourages listeners with short "no-fluff" Bible teachings. She spends her free time with her husband and twin toddlers.
I’ve known Jessica since she was in eight grade and I was only a few months out of prison. My good friend and pastor, as well as my Bible Quiz coach in high school, asked me to coach the teen Bible Quiz team at our church when I was released from prison. I wondered what parents would think if they knew a convicted felon was coaching their kid. As it turns out, there was only three kids, my pastor’s two boys, and Jessica Price. I had no idea who this kid was but she was a feisty little eighth grader.
Through competition I got to know Jessica’s dad, Rob Price, and the rest is history. Our families have been friends ever since. I had the privilege of watching Jessica grow into a godly woman, wife, and mother. She has a heart of gold and so much wisdom and insight into helping people recover from addiction. Make sure you listen to her podcast, Session in Progress, and follow her on Instagram. The links are below. Let her know you heard her on Background Check.
