As an only child growing up with divorced parents, Jessica Mitchell says her upbringing in Topeka, Kansas was normal by all accounts. Her journey to where she is today in Austin, Texas, however, isn’t quite as straightforward. Jessica is a missional resident living in Community First! Village where she lives alongside and serves men and women who are coming out of chronic homelessness. Gospel Con Carne host Alan Graham describes her as nothing short of a blessing to the entire community. What you may be surprised to learn is what Jessica considers one of the largest blessings in her own life that time when U.S. Marshals came knocking on her door.

Alan Graham is one of the country’s leading visionaries on issues involving homelessness. He’s also a pretty cool dude. Meet Your Host >
