Las Locas Chronicles
Welcome to our podcast—A podcast about two Latinas, one faith, endless stories! This is a podcast about 2 friends, Pastor Alexa Pineda and Pastor Jessica Fernandez, PhD, two Latinas from New York who are all about helping Christian women like YOU step boldly into your God-given purpose. After 30 years of friendship (yes, THIRTY!), we’re keeping it real and talking about everything—what friends, wives, believers, and pastors struggle with, plus all the beautiful, messy, and faith-filled moments along the way. Think of us as the tías you never had but always needed—the ones who’ll cheer you on, tell you the truth (even when it stings), and pray over you like your abuela would. Here, we serve up real talk with a side of spiritual fire—Bible truths, practical advice, and a whole lot of corazón. So, grab your cafecito, hit that subscribe button, and let’s grow, glow, and give God the glory together. Dios tiene grandes planes para ti—let’s get to it!
Episodes
Rejection has a way of hitting deeper than we expect—it doesn’t just close doors, it can shake how we see ourselves.
In this episode, the Locas get real about the moments that made them question their worth, their calling, and their confidence. From missed opportunities to feeling overlooked or misunderstood, we unpack how rejection can either break you… or build you.
This isn’t just about what didn’t work out—

What does Easter really mean for us as believers?
Easter isn’t just a holiday—it’s the foundation of our faith. In this episode, we unpack the true meaning of the Easter season and why the death and resurrection of Jesus changes everything about how we live, think, and hope.
So many of us celebrate Easter without fully understanding the weight of what happened on the cross… and the power that came out of the empty tom...
What was almost taken away… became a moment to savor.
In Episode 62, Jessica and Alexa sit down for a beautiful and intentional experience at the Golden Rose Tea Room in Amarillo, Texas—slowing down, sipping tea, and leaning into what truly matters.
This episode is filled with heart, reflection, and a much-needed call to declutter our lives—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

In this powerful Season 4 premiere, the Locas take Washington, D.C. as they step into spaces of advocacy and awareness—learning what it truly means to stand for and serve the Latino and immigrant community with both compassion and conviction.
A year ago, Dr. Jessica began to feel a deep stirring in her heart—to speak up for those who are often overlooked, mistreated, or unheard. In this episode, we unpack that journe...
In this powerful Season 3 finale, Las Locas go live for Episode 60 to talk about one of the hardest yet most transformative moments in a believer’s journey—when God says move.
Obedience to God does not always come with clear instructions, comfort, or approval from others. Sometimes God calls us to step out of what is familiar and into the unknown, trusting that His plan is greater than our understanding. In this epis...
Las Locas are officially in the new Locas Studio, and this episode goes deep into what it truly means to live in the fear of the Lord.
Alexa shares a powerful moment of surrender when she promised God she would do whatever He asked. But that raises an important question for all of us: Have you ever made a promise to God that you didn’t keep?
In this conversation, Jessica and Alexa unpack the true meaning of the fear o...
In this powerful episode, Jessica and Alexa unpack the deeper meaning behind Noah’s Ark and why it’s far more than a children’s story. God gave Noah the blueprint but limited tools—what carried him through was perseverance and trust.
The Ark was covered in pitch, a word in Hebrew that also means atonement. Just as the Ark was sealed and protected, Jesus covers and protects us with His love. The Ark had no rudder or s...
In this fun and honest episode, recorded live from Valore Bar & Grill, the Locas dive into a real question many believers wrestle with: Are you content… or just complacent?
While celebrating the near completion of the Locas Studio, Jessica and Alexa talk about how God gives supernatural strength to fulfill every assignment He calls you to — and how often we already have everything we need to walk in His will.
They...
Many of us grew up with ideas about love shaped by culture, movies, family dynamics, and past relationships. We were taught that love meant butterflies, sacrifice without boundaries, staying no matter what, or tolerating dysfunction in the name of loyalty. But what if much of what we called “love” was never biblical to begin with?
In this LIVE episode of Las Locas Chronicles, we unpack the difference between cultural...
Are you ignoring red flags in your relationships? 🚩
On this episode of Las Locas we explore warning signs in all types of relationships — dating, friendships, family, church, leadership, and more — through the lens of Scripture.
One of the biggest red flags in any relationship is a lack of honor and respect. This shows up when your thoughts are dismissed, your boundaries are ignored, or your voice is minim...
In this Mukbang episode of Las Locas Chronicles, Jessica and Alexa are eating smackilicious food at El Rey de Sabor in Irving, TX while laughing their way down memory lane. The question on the table: What’s something you were embarrassed about as a kid that doesn’t bother you at all as an adult?
From remembering pastelillo sales in the back of the church to discovering the magic of the George Foreman grill, this epis...
You asked, and we didn’t hold back.
In this unfiltered episode, the Locas answer two of the most honest questions we hear all the time: Why should we go to church? and Why is reading the Word so important?
We talk about church beyond the building — community, accountability, healing, and growth — and why following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. We also get real about Scripture: why reading the Bible isn’t...
Have you ever prayed with everything in you—only to be met with silence?
In this episode, we talk honestly about one of the most difficult and confusing seasons of faith: when God feels quiet. When prayers seem unanswered. When direction feels unclear. When heaven feels distant.
Together, we explore what Scripture shows us about God’s silence—not as abandonment, punishment, or rejection, but often as formation, trust-...
Episode 51 kicks off with a fun salted caramel Moon Pie taste test before quickly turning into a lively and heartfelt Mary vs. Martha debate. Anchored in Luke 10:38–42, Jessica and Alexa examine how these two sisters reflect different personalities, callings, and spiritual rhythms that many of us see in ourselves today.
Jessica identifies strongly with Mary—someone who prioritizes being with Jesus, hearing His Word, ...
In Episode 50, Jessica and Alexa have an honest, challenging conversation about identity, boundaries, and breaking free from the fear of people’s opinions. From their completely different personal styles to how they approach planning and purpose, the Locas remind us that every God-given dream requires intention, structure, and action.
This episode tackles the danger of people-pleasing and control, and how easily we g...
Merry Christmas and happy 1st anniversary to Las Locas Chronicles. In this special holiday episode, we pause to celebrate one full year of conversations, growth, laughter, lessons, and God’s faithfulness. We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has walked with us on this journey, and we give a huge thank you to our branding team at Eighty Five Studio for helping bring this vision to life.
We highlight some meaning...
Life transitions for women are defining seasons of change that reshape identity, roles, rhythms, and responsibilities. Some transitions are chosen, others unexpected. Some are joyful, others painful—but most mark a clear before and after moment. In this live conversation, we talk honestly about the transitions women face and how faith anchors us in the in-between.
Common life transitions we’ll explore:
- I...
In this powerful episode, Jessica and Alexa talk about what it truly means to live with a spirit of expectancy. Using the story of Abraham, they explore the kind of hope that refuses to die even when circumstances make no sense. Abraham hoped against all hope, and many times God asks us to do the same.
We all face moments that try to derail us. Disappointments, unexpected challenges, and even people we love...
In this late-night Wendy’s mukbang, the Locas are hungry, a little nostalgic, and ready to talk about something that matters: showing up to church.
While we enjoy our “linner,” we take a trip down memory lane. Back when life was simple, five dollars filled your tank, sharing fries was normal, and the mall was the weekend hangout. Somewhere along the way, everything got louder, busier, and more complicated. Even churc...
Happy Thanksgiving, Locas! It’s officially sweater weather, Alexa’s favorite holiday season — and yes, Jess wants all the turkey wings! We kick off with holiday vibes, shoutouts (including Cooking with Omi), and excitement for next year’s Cooking with Las Locas meetups.
Today’s topic comes straight from YOU: What are the biggest struggles new believers face?
Jess shares the challenge of being in a relationship with so...
