Las Locas Chronicles

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.

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 shaping how we see ourselves, others, and even God. In this episode, we confront the lies rejection tries to plant in our hearts and declare freedom, healing, and identity through Jesus Christ. We talk about the pain of being overlooked, abandoned, misunderstood, betrayed, and not chosen — and how God still calls, loves, and uses us anyway.
We are CANCELLING REJECTION with God’s Word by declari...
What are you willing to trade for temporary comfort? In this episode, we talk about the danger of settling for what is immediate instead of trusting God for what is eternal. Through the story of Moses’ mother, we explore the faith and surrender it takes to release what we love into God’s hands, believing His plan is greater even when it hurts. We also unpack the story of Esau, who gave up his birthright for a bowl o...
How many times have you stood in the doorway of something God was calling you to… and talked yourself out of it?
In this episode of Las Locas Chronicles, we dive into the powerful stories of the Shunammite woman, Hannah, and the symbolism of mother of pearl to talk about faith, hesitation, identity, and the layers God develops in us through pain, waiting, obedience, and surrender.
The Shunammite woman teaches us what ...
What if the broken pieces are where God begins renewing your mind? 💛 In this episode, we dive into Romans 12:2 and the power of transformation through God’s truth—not the patterns of this world.
We also talk about the importance of godly mentors and spiritual voices in our lives:
✨ Mordecai & Esther
✨ Elijah & Elisha
✨ Moses & Joshua
No one steps fully into purpose alone. G...
In a world that pushes you to chase goals, build platforms, and “make it happen,” what does it actually look like to surrender your plans to God?
In this episode, we talk about the tension between ambition and obedience—between what you want to accomplish and what God is asking you to do right now. Because the Kingdom of God isn’t built on rushed outcomes… it’s built on daily surrender.
God rarely ...
What do you do when the people you trusted the most let you down?
In this episode, we talk about the real tension of trusting God when leadership fails you—whether in church, work, or relationships. Disappointment can shake your faith, distort your view of authority, and make you question what you once believed.
But here’s the truth: God has never failed you—even when people have.
We unpack wha...
What do you do when obedience feels slow, repetitive, and unseen?
In this episode, we look at the story of Noah—not just building the ark, but tarring it, layer by layer. No applause. No rain yet. Just consistent obedience.
And even after the rain came… Noah still had to wait.
No timeline. No clear end. Just water—and trust.
He sent out birds to see if the land was dry (Genesis 8). Wai...
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-...

He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable.
