Episode 67: God's Goals
Send us Fan MailIn 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 gives the full blueprint. He gives the next step.From the fishermen going deeper at Jesus’ command, Scripture shows us that breakthrough doesn’t come from having all the answers—it comes from trusting the One who does.If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or tempted to force something to happen, this conversation will help you realign your heart and remember:➡️ God’s will over your timeline➡️ Obedience over outcomes➡️ Faithfulness in the small steps leads to greater purposeKey Scriptures:Matthew 14:29 – Peter steps out of the boatLuke 5:4–5 – “Go deeper” even when it doesn’t make senseProverbs 3:5–6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heartPsalm 119:105 – His Word is a lamp to your feetIn this episode, you’ll learn:Why God often leads step by step instead of all at onceHow to discern between your goals and God’s willWhat to do when obedience feels unclear or uncomfortableHow to trust God even when progress feels slowReflection Question:Are you asking God to bless your plans… or are you willing to follow His, one step at a time?Subscribe, share, and join the conversation as we pursue truth!🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: / @laslocaschronicles 🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com

Send us Fan MailWhat 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 what Scripture says about misplaced trust, how to guard your heart without hardening it, and how to keep following God with integrity when leadership falls short.If you’ve ever felt hurt, overlooked, or disillusioned by leaders, this conversation is for you.📖 Key Scripture: Psalm 118:8 — “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans.”Subscribe, share, and join the conversation as we pursue truth!🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: / @laslocaschronicles 🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com

Episode 65: Don't Give Up!
Send us Fan MailWhat 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). Waiting. Watching. Trusting.He didn’t know when he would step off the boat—but he stayed faithful anyway.This episode is about:Staying consistent when nothing seems to be happeningTrusting God in the process and the waitingNot giving up when you don’t know “when”Don’t give up.Be faithful in the building—and patient in the waiting.Scripture: Genesis 6–9Listen on all podcast platforms.🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: / @laslocaschronicles 🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com#DontGiveUp #FaithInTheProcess #Noah #ChristianPodcast #TrustGod

Episode 64: When Rejection Rocks Your Confidence
Send us Fan MailRejection 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—it’s about what God is doing through it.We talk about:• How rejection impacts your identity and self-worth• The lies we start to believe when doors close• Learning to separate God’s “no” from personal failure• Rebuilding confidence rooted in who God says you are• Why rejection is often redirection and protectionRejection may have shaken you…but it doesn’t get to define you.God is not rejecting you—He’s refining you.If you’ve ever felt overlooked, dismissed, or not enough, this conversation is for you. Your confidence isn’t found in acceptance from people—it’s found in your identity in Christ.What if the very thing that hurt you… is the thing God will use to grow you?Listen on all podcast platforms.🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: / @laslocaschronicles 🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com#LasLocasPodcast #ConfidenceInChrist #OvercomingRejection #Season4 #FaithJourney

Episode 63: When God Prunes You
Send us Fan MailWhat 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 tomb.This conversation will help you:• Understand the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice• See how the resurrection impacts your everyday life• Renew your faith and deepen your relationship with God• Walk in the victory, freedom, and purpose Christ secured for youBecause Easter isn’t just something we remember—it’s something we live.If you’ve ever felt stuck, distant from God, or unsure of your purpose… this message will remind you that the resurrection wasn’t just for then—it’s for you, right now.Join us as we reflect, grow, and step into the fullness of what Easter means.Watch new episodes every Thursday at 12PM CST.Listen on all podcast platforms.🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: / @laslocaschronicles 🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com#Easter #ResurrectionPower #Faith #Jesus #ChristianPodcast #LasLocasChronicles #BibleTruth #HopeInChrist

Episode 62: Time to Declutter | Tea Time with Las Locas
Send us Fan MailWhat 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.As they share tea, they also share pieces of their past…Jessica reflects on childhood days in Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx and simple moments with her dad at White Castle—memories that remind us that joy was never found in abundance, but in togetherness.Alexa recalls time spent with her siblings—playing at their dad’s job and the playground across the street—where the greatest memories were made simply by being present.Back then, life was simpler.And somehow… fuller.Now, life is loud. Busy. Distracted.Jessica opens up about motherhood—beach days, Wendy’s chicken nuggets, and meeting “Daddy” for lunch—and the realization she carries now:“If I could tell my younger self anything, it would be—enjoy your kids more. The dishes can wait.”Because life moves fast.And the moments we rush through… are often the ones that matter most.In this episode, we talk about:• The distractions stealing your peace and joy• The pressure to rush, strive, and “get ahead”• Why we often miss the beauty of what God has already given us• A word to young women—dream, explore, and enjoy your life before the next season comes• The importance of being present in the nowThis is your reminder:You only get one youth. One moment. One now.So what is robbing you of your rest?Your peace?Your ability to enjoy what God has placed right in front of you?It’s time to declutter.Simple ways to start savoring the moment:1. BreatheEvery breath is a reminder of God’s presence. Even in the quiet, you are sustained. There is healing in simply breathing.2. Be GratefulGratitude shifts your perspective and anchors your heart in truth.Even when life doesn’t look how you expected—this is not rejection… it may be promotion.Trust the Lord.Slow down.And savor the moment.🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMSWipm740QEEXm73Fv2zDg🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com#LasLocasPodcast #TeaTimeWithLasLocas #DeclutterYourLife #BePresent #FaithInAction #Season4

Episode 61: Love Your Neighbor | The Locas Hit the White House
Send us Fan MailIn 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 journey and wrestle with the tension of honoring the laws of the land while still treating every human being with dignity, respect, and honor.This conversation goes beyond politics—it goes straight to the condition of our hearts.We talk about:• What it means to truly love your neighbor—especially those who are different from you• Why no one should have to live in fear• Personal stories of growing up feeling different—from accents to appearance• The call for believers to be a voice for the vulnerable• How fear is shaping the heart of our nation—and how love must respond• The biblical foundation of advocacy, from cities of refuge to the life of Moses• How Jesus Himself modeled a life of movement, mission, and mercyFrom the halls of influence to everyday life, this episode challenges us to reflect:Is your heart moved by what breaks God’s heart?Jesus gave us a clear command—to love God and to love our neighbors. This isn’t optional. It’s our assignment.As believers, we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus—bringing healing, restoration, and hope in a divided world.This is not about politics.This is about people.This is about love.So the question is: What is Jesus calling YOU to do in your community?🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMSWipm740QEEXm73Fv2zDg🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com

Episode 60: When God Says Move (Live Episode)
Send us Fan MailIn 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 episode, we reflect on the moments when faith requires movement—when God asks us to leave comfort, release control, and say yes even without the full picture.Through honest conversation, testimony, and biblical insight, we discuss the fear, the struggle, and the faith it takes to obey God’s voice. Many times the breakthrough, the purpose, and the next season of our lives are waiting on the other side of a simple but powerful response: yes.If you’ve ever felt God nudging you toward something new, challenging, or uncertain, this conversation will encourage you to trust Him and take the step.FROM THE FIRE POLE TO THE WHITE HOUSE!🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMSWipm740QEEXm73Fv2zDg🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com

Episode 59 – A Vessel for Honor: Living in the Fear of the Lord
Send us Fan MailLas 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 of the Lord—not being afraid of God, but living in a way that honors Him with sincerity and integrity.They also talk about the difference between making mistakes and intentionally living contrary to God’s Word, and why believers—especially those in ministry—must guard their hearts so that serving God never becomes just another job.This episode is a reminder that we are called to be vessels for honor (2 Timothy 2:20–21), not people who chase affirmation or platforms. Our passion must always remain rooted in our relationship with God, not just our gifts or positions.Are we living authentically?Are we keeping the promises we made to God?Are we still burning with our first love?It’s time to stay ready, stay surrendered, and live in a way that honors Him everywhere we go.#LasLocasChronicles#FearOfTheLord#ChristianPodcast#FaithConversation#FirstLove#VesselForHonor#ChristianWomen#FaithWalk#KingdomLiving#WalkWithGod

Episode 58: Get on the Ship
Send us Fan MailIn 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 steering wheel because God was the Captain. That’s the message: this journey requires 100% trust.We talk about salvation, what it truly means to be adopted into God’s family, and the truth that nothing can separate you from His love (Romans 8:31–39). Jesus is the Living Word—present in the beginning, without beginning or end—and His love brings us back to life.If you feel far from God, hurt by people, or unsure how to come back, this episode is your invitation. Don’t wait to be perfect. Don’t try to control the outcome.Get on the ship.If you received Jesus into your heart, email us at [email protected] — we want to celebrate with you.Get your new glasses or progressives at Firmoo.com using our code: I6G5U0#LasLocasChronicles#GetOnTheShip#FaithPodcast#Salvation#Romans8#TrustGod#ChristianWomen#JesusSaves#KingdomLiving#GodsLove

Episode 57: Content vs. Complacent
Send us Fan MailIn 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 unpack the difference:Contentment is gratitude and trust in GodComplacency is getting stuck and settlingThe conversation gets real as they discuss complacency in marriages, ministry, personal growth, and everyday life. Sometimes we ask God for more while struggling to steward what we already have.Through laughter, memories (including Alexa’s green Ford Escort days), and personal testimonies of leading through pain, this episode reminds us:Gratitude isn’t based on circumstancesEven rock bottom can become a launching pointEndurance is part of faithGod prepares you through the hard seasonsSometimes you discover your strength only when you’re testedJessica shares insights from preaching through pain, while Alexa opens up about leading while hurting and how God expanded her capacity during difficult moments.This episode will encourage you to:Appreciate the small blessingsStay grateful in chaotic seasonsTrust God while you waitKeep moving forward without losing peaceBecause contentment keeps your heart right — but complacency keeps you stuck.And one year from now? You just might be saying,“Look what God did.”

Episode 56: Things We Thought Love Was...BUT IT WASN'T!
Send us Fan MailMany 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 love and Christ-centered love. Through Scripture, we explore what real, healthy love actually looks like—love that is rooted in truth, honor, accountability, freedom, and peace. We talk about how God’s Word corrects our misconceptions and invites us into relationships that reflect His character, not the world’s version of romance or attachment.If you’ve ever confused control for protection, chemistry for compatibility, or emotional intensity for spiritual depth, this conversation is for you.Join the Locas as we challenge old narratives and redefine love according to God’s design.Watch LIVE every Thursday at 12PM CST.Listen on all podcast platforms.Visit us at laslocaschronicles.com for merch, resources, and more.

Episode 55: Red Flags in Relationships
Send us Fan MailAre 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 minimized. Honor doesn’t require agreement, but it does require recognizing the value God placed on you. When respect is missing, love cannot function the way Scripture intends.Another serious warning sign is manipulation and control. This often hides behind concern, spirituality, or “wanting what’s best for you,” but it uses guilt, fear, or pressure to get compliance. God leads through truth and freedom, not coercion. Healthy relationships allow room for choice, growth, and wise counsel.A third red flag is chronic dishonesty—patterns of lying, half-truths, omissions, or rewriting stories when confronted. Trust cannot exist without truth. Where honesty is absent, stability and safety disappear.In this episode, we talk about why these red flags are often ignored and why discernment and boundaries are not unloving, but necessary. God does not call us to tolerate what damages our hearts, our faith, or our peace.Learn how to discern healthy connections, set godly boundaries, and build relationships that reflect Christ’s love, truth, and peace.🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LasLocasChronicles🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com

Episode 54: Mukbang | Embarrassed Then, Thankful Now
Send us Fan MailIn 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 episode is packed with humor, nostalgia, and perspective. The Locas talk about the things we swore we’d never do as kids—using coupons, caring about electricity bills, turning off lights—and how adulthood completely changes our view.Alexa shares her legendary birthday routine, complete with free Starbucks, prime rib at the Big Texan, and Nothing Bundt Cakes, proving that grown confidence hits different. They reflect on how as children we often didn’t understand sacrifice, stewardship, or gratitude—but as adults, those lessons finally make sense.The conversation turns heartfelt as Alexa reflects on realizing her parents were never “not enough,” but actually sacrificed everything to give their family a good life. She shares how her parents’ work ethic shaped her and how her mom’s decision to tithe marked a turning point toward financial freedom and stability.Jessica opens up about the very thing she once complained about—her hair—which is now a signature part of who she is, her culture, and her identity.This episode is a reminder to:Be grateful for what you haveBe a good steward of what’s in your hands nowStay ready so you don’t have to get readyWalk in full obedience, not partialHonor your parents while you still canIf there’s something you were embarrassed about as a kid, this episode challenges you to revisit it with adult eyes—and maybe even say thank you or ask forgiveness where it’s due.Growing up changes everything—and that’s not something to be embarrassed about.🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LasLocasChronicles🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com

We also get real about Scripture: why reading the Bible isn’t about checking a box, but about transformation, truth, and learning to hear God’s voice in a noisy world.No religious fluff. No guilt trips. Just real conversation, biblical truth, and practical encouragement for your faith walk.Whether you’ve been hurt by church, feel disconnected from the Word, or you’re simply asking honest questions — this episode is for you.🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LasLocasChronicles🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com

Episode 52: When God is Silent....SIKE!
Send us Fan MailHave 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-building, and deep spiritual work. From Job’s unanswered cries, to David’s laments, to Elijah’s whisper, and even Jesus’ anguish in Gethsemane, we see that silence has always been part of the faith journey.If you’ve ever wondered:Did I do something wrong?Is God upset with me?Why does it feel like everyone else hears Him but me?This conversation is for you.We’ll talk about:What God’s silence is and is notWhy God may choose silence in certain seasonsHow to remain faithful when clarity is missingWhat to do when obedience comes before understandingHow to trust God’s character when emotions say otherwiseIf you’re in a waiting season, a wilderness moment, or a place where faith feels fragile, this episode offers truth, reassurance, and hope. You are not forgotten. God is still near. And even in the silence, He is still working.Declaration “Even when God is silent, He is still faithful.I will not confuse quiet with absence.I trust God in the waiting, and I believe He is working.”🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms📺 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LasLocasChronicles🛍️ Get merch & support the podcast: https://laslocaschronicles.com#LasLocasChronicles #ChristianPodcast #FaithPodcast #WhenGodIsSilent #ChristianEncouragement #FaithJourney #BiblicalTruth #ChristianWomen #FaithInHardTimes

Episode 51: Mary vs. Martha
Send us Fan MailEpisode 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, and pushing past distractions to stay close to Him. Alexa advocates for Martha, pointing out that she intentionally made room for Jesus in her home and lived out her calling through hospitality and service. Martha’s life reminds us that serving is not second-class spirituality—it’s worship.The conversation digs deeper into how gifting can feel effortless to others but exhausting to the one carrying it, and how hospitality, service, and leadership can quietly turn into anxiety when limits aren’t honored. Martha wasn’t upset that Mary was sitting—she was overwhelmed by carrying too much alone. When our eyes shift from Jesus to what others aren’t doing, bitterness and comparison can creep in.Jessica and Alexa also challenge the “consumer mindset” in the Church, emphasizing that serving one another is biblical, worshipful, and necessary. They explore how Jesus addressed Martha’s anxiety—not her service—and why there are moments when even the most capable servant needs to stop and simply sit at His feet.This episode reminds us that Mary and Martha were both loved, both called, and both necessary. The Body of Christ thrives when we honor different giftings, help one another carry the load, and keep our focus on Jesus above all else.So… whose team are you on—Mary or Martha?💛 Join us every Thursday at 12PM CST to watch or listen to new episodes of Las Locas Chronicles.

Episode 50: No Puppets Allowed: Breaking Free from People-Pleasing
Send us Fan MailIn 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 give weight to voices that have no stake in our lives. When we live fearing man, we hand over authority that belongs only to the Holy Spirit. God never called us to fit in—He called us to stand out.Jessica and Alexa also dive into relationships, marriage, and dating, stressing the importance of having the hard conversations early—faith, finances, family, and calling. Love alone isn’t enough. The person you choose can either help fulfill your calling or hinder it, which is why healthy boundaries are essential to protect what God has entrusted to you.They reference the book Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud, highlighting key truths like: people without boundaries will test yours, and discernment is required to know when to create space and when to pursue connection. Boundaries aren’t about control—they’re about stewardship. Jess shares her testimony about setting boundaries with family in Boundaries that Bless. At the heart of it all is identity. When you don’t know who you are in Christ, others will define you for you. But when you know Him, you begin to walk confidently in who He’s called you to be.God doesn’t want you basic. He wants you bold, free, and fully surrendered.💛 Join us every Thursday at 12PM CST to watch or listen to new episodes of Las Locas Chronicles.

Send us Fan MailMerry 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 meaningful gifts from this year, but more than anything, we reflect on the gift of friendship. Jessica shares how the consistency of our friendship and daily check-ins has been one of the greatest blessings. Alexa speaks directly to traveling ministers, reminding us that our calling isn’t limited to the pulpit—it’s about fellowship, community, and being fully present with the people who open their doors and hearts to us. Don’t just be a greenroom minister; make yourself available.We also look back on some of our favorite episodes from this year, including Jessica’s favorite, “While You Wait, Buy the Suitcase,” and reflect on how God uses small steps and hidden seasons to prepare us for bigger ones. From short trips to Amarillo to learning how to fly on her own, we talk about how God processes us before promoting us.Anchored in Psalm 37:23–24 and Proverbs 16:9, this episode is a reminder that God is ordering our steps, preparing the way, and going before us. Our role is to obey, be faithful in the little things, take our time, and trust what He’s building will last.Thank you for an incredible year. Merry Christmas, and we’ll see you in 2026.

Episode 48: Who Am I Now? Life Transitions
Send us Fan MailLife 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:Identity shifts: discovering purpose and calling beyond rolesRelationships: marriage, singleness, divorce, widowhood, changing friendshipsFamily seasons: motherhood, infertility, empty nesting, caregivingCareer & calling: pivots, leadership, ministry, entrepreneurshipSpiritual transitions: deepening faith, rebuilding, stepping into obedienceHealth & body changes: illness, healing, aging, hormonesLoss & grief: death, miscarriage, unmet dreams, closed doorsGrowth & elevation: promotion, visibility, leadership, influenceWhy life transitions matterTransitions are often where faith is tested, identity is refined, old versions are released, and new strength is formed. Many women find themselves standing between what was and what will be—a holy but uncomfortable space.From a spiritual lens, transitions are divine intersections where God prepares, stretches, and repositions us for deeper purpose.“To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1Life transitions aren’t just changes—they are invitations to grow, heal, and become.#LifeTransitions #WomenInTransition #christianpodcast #FaithJourney #ChristianWomen #IdentityInChrist #PurposeAndCalling #SeasonsOfLife #FaithOverFear #HealingAndGrowth #WomenOfFaith #SpiritualGrowth #TrustGod #InTheInBetween #GodsTiming #BecomingHer #CalledAndChosen #GraceInTransition #FaithTalk #ChristianCommunity #WomenSupportingWomen

Episode 47: When Hope Makes No Sense
Send us Fan MailIn 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 can shake our faith. But this journey with the Lord is not linear. We stumble, drift, get frustrated, and feel the fire. Yet God calls us to keep moving forward with courage anchored in His promises.The Locas break down the power of resilience, the courage to get up, and the discipline to stay focused even when fear tries to paralyze us. They talk about Daniel’s boldness in prayer, the difference between retreating and rising, and how the enemy uses fear to stop us from stepping into our calling.They also dive into the refining process. Like gold, we are shaped through heat, pressure, and repetition. Everyone wants the value, but not the process. Yet every fire makes us stronger, purer, and more prepared.What does it truly mean to expect God to move? It means shifting our focus from “God deliver me” to “God let Your will be done,” just like John the Baptist. Expectancy is not denial. It is courage to trust God in the fire, in the confusion, and in the unseen.If you have felt stuck, discouraged, or paralyzed by fear, this episode will remind you that your story is not over. Roll up your mat, stand up, and move forward. God is refining you for purpose.Stay resilient. Hope anyway. Trust Him even in the trial. God is working, even here.

Send us Fan MailIn 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 church became optional instead of essential.But here’s the truth: you need community. You need connection. You need the church.We talk about the blessings we forget to appreciate, the things we prayed for but now take for granted, and why contentment must be intentional. Ministry is beautiful, but real growth happens when people are teachable, consistent, and committed.We dive into why church matters more than ever.Because being alone makes you a target. But being in community makes you stronger.The early church met every day and grew because people showed up hungry for God. Somewhere along the line, we replaced passion with convenience. It is time to flip that back.We share practical tips on how to prepare for Sunday, sit in the right seat, engage, and stay consistent. Stop giving God leftovers. Give Him your heart, your time, and your presence.No more excuses. It is time to go back to church. Your place in the body matters, and we cannot move forward until you take your position. This Sunday, show up. Something powerful happens when you do.#LasLocasChronicles #LLCEpisode46 #LateNightMukbang #WendysMukbang #FaithCommunity #GoToChurch #SundayPrep #ChurchFlow #ChristianPodcast #ChristianWomen #FaithTalk #WomenOfFaith #StayConnected #KingdomLife #GratefulHeart #ChurchFamily #NostalgiaTalk #GodFirst #SpiritualGrowth #KeepShowingUp #FaithInAction #BibleCommunity #ChristianLiving #ChurchCulture #ModernChurch #LocasForJesus

Episode 45: Sweater Weather, Turkey Wings & New Believer Struggles
Send us Fan MailHappy 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 someone who wasn’t a believer and the tension of the unequal yoke. Lex opens up about surrendering old loves like music — plus her hilarious high-school talent show fail to “That’s the Way Love Goes.”We talk about how discernment takes time, how some things change instantly while others require process, and how shame, habits, and triggers can still show up. We also address the disappointment of realizing not everyone in church is spiritually mature — and why your walk must stay centered on Jesus, not people. Jess even brings back her elevator chronicles!Common New-Believer Struggles We Cover:Letting go of the pastFinding identity in ChristConsistency in prayer & the WordFacing old temptationsFear of being judgedBuilding godly friendshipsTrusting God in uncertaintyWe remind every listener: Surround yourself with believers who push you toward Christ Be honest about your temptations and run like Joseph Enjoy every new moment with God And seriously — keep a journal!A cozy, honest, Thanksgiving-filled episode for anyone growing in their walk with Jesus.#LasLocasChronicles #NewBelieverStruggles #FaithJourney #GrowingInChrist #ChristianPodcast #WomenInMinistry #DailyWalkWithGod #SpiritualGrowth #JesusTransforma #FaithOverFeelings#ThanksgivingEpisode #SweaterWeatherVibes #HolidaySeason #TurkeyWings #FriendsgivingVibes#YouAreNotAlone #KeepGoingSis #GodIsWorking #WalkByFaith #FaithCommunity #ChristianWomen

Episode 44: POPPING OFF | When Pressure Makes You Explode
Send us Fan MailIn Episode 44, the Locas are POPPING OFF — literally.From Ghostbuster slime reactions to Starbucks attitudes, Jessica and Alexa dive deep into what happens when pressure, trauma, and triggers make us explode like a kettle or a bag of popcorn under heat.We kick things off with a shoutout to Beloved & Blessed by Nancy Bryan for all the beautiful, created gifts! Then we move into a real conversation about anger — the kind you try to hide, the kind you hate to feel, and the kind that shows pieces of your unhealed self. Just like the Incredible Hulk, anger exposes what’s underneath the surface… and it’s not always pretty.This episode unpacks: How small moments can send us over the edge The difference between being angry vs. living in anger How unhealed triggers rip the “scab” off old wounds Why anger steals joy, dims your light, and hurts relationships How God uses anger to grow us, layer by layer (hello, onion metaphor!) Why fear is often the real root of our anger The Holy Spirit’s role in correcting and calming us Peter-level moments — when we get it wrong but refuse to quitBecause the truth is: Anger wants to convince us we’re in control, but really we’re not. Healing is not one-and-done — we must abide in it. Our reactions reveal what still needs God’s touch.Jessica and Alexa walk through the Process of Letting Go of Anger, including:Recognize the sourceReflect before reacting (James 1:19)Release the right to revengeReplace the lie with God’s truthForgive — even if they don’t deserve itFill the space with peaceUse your story for growth, not a grudgeIf you’ve ever said: “Don’t make me angry… you won’t like me when I’m angry,” this episode is for you.God wants to bring peace, not explosions.Healing is possible — one layer at a time.

Episode 43: Blessing in the Disappointment
Send us Fan MailThis week on Las Locas Chronicles, Jessica and Alexa kick off the episode with birthday shout-outs for all the November Locas before diving into a powerful (and relatable) conversation about disappointment — and how God can turn it into a blessing.From laughing about Ralphie in A Christmas Story and his many letdowns to unpacking the deeper truth behind our own disappointments, the Locas remind us that sometimes what feels like rejection is really God’s protection.Disappointment, by definition, means “not having what we had hoped for happen.” But what if God is holding it back because we’re not yet ready to handle it? Sometimes our character can’t yet carry the blessing we’re asking for — and instead of saying “Lord, bless me,” we need to start praying, “Lord, prepare me.”In this heartfelt conversation, the Locas talk about:- Learning to manage disappointment with grace- Trusting God’s perfect timing- How even Jesus faced disappointment on the cross- Recognizing that our greatest disappointments can lead to our greatest victoriesDon’t let disappointment blind you — let it build you. What you thought was a setback might just be God setting you up for something greater.#laslocaschronicles #BlessingInTheDisappointment #FaithPodcast #ChristianPodcast #WomenInMinistry #TrustGodsTiming #FaithOverFeelings #PurposeInPain #GodsPlan #SpiritualGrowth #LLCSeason3 #FaithJourney

Episode 42: Living Fully, Loving Deeply
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Las Locas Chronicles, Jessica and Alexa open up Ecclesiastes 9:5–11 and talk about what it truly means to live life to the fullest. Life moves fast — like a vapor — and it’s easy to get caught up in things that don’t really matter. But what if we slowed down and put life back into perspective?The Locas challenge us to stop living on autopilot and start valuing what matters most — our marriages, our children, and the moments we can never get back. Ministry begins at home, and before we pour into others, we must make sure we’re pouring into our families.They ask powerful questions that’ll get you thinking:- What are you doing with the time you have left?- How are you stewarding your days, your energy, and your relationships?- What are the top three things you want to do for yourself, your family, and your marriage?This conversation will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even shed a tear — but most of all, it will remind you to live intentionally, love wholeheartedly, and embrace the season you’re in.Because life is fleeting… but when lived with purpose, it’s beautifully full.Takeaway for the Episode:Life is but a vapor — fleeting, fragile, and precious. Don’t just exist, live. Don’t just go through the motions — be present. Pour into what matters most, because every day is a gift from God to love deeply, laugh often, and live intentionally.#LasLocasChronicles #LifeIsButAVapor #FaithPodcast #Ecclesiastes9 #ChristianPodcast #LiveFullyLoveDeeply #FaithAndFamily #WomenInMinistry #PurposeDrivenLife #FamilyFirst #FaithJourney #LLCSeason3

Episode 41: The Power of Vulnerability
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Las Locas Chronicles, Jessica and Alexa get real real — talking about the power of vulnerability and what it truly costs (and rewards) to live with your heart open.From doing things scared of being criticized to sharing your story before someone else gets the “copyright,” this conversation is raw, honest, and deeply freeing. Because your story is your weapon — and a weapon is strategic. You’ve got to know when and how to use it.The Locas dive into moments when they’ve wanted to edit parts out of episodes but didn’t — because obedience to the Holy Spirit mattered more than perfection. They talk about:Peter stepping out of the boat when Jesus called him — fear and all.The risk and reward of being vulnerable.Jesus washing Judas’ feet even though He knew the betrayal was coming.The difference between walls and boundaries (hint: one locks people out, the other lets love in wisely).How to create safe spaces for vulnerability in women’s groups and ministries.Being vulnerable doesn’t mean being weak — it means being real in a world that values filters over faith. The Locas remind us that God never called us to do life alone. One nail, one plank, one story at a time — like Noah — we build something that can weather any storm. Tune in for laughter, conviction, and a reminder that the reward of vulnerability is never monetary… it’s heavenly.#LasLocasChronicles #ThePowerOfVulnerability #FaithPodcast #WomenInMinistry #AuthenticFaith #FaithOverFear #ChristianPodcast #JesusCentered #Transparency #MinistryMoments #LLCSeason3 #DoItScared #YourStoryMatters #FaithJourney

Episode 40: Too Blessed to be Stressed
Send us Fan MailSeason 3 is HERE, and the Locas are back — caffeinated, honest, and just a little overwhelmed.In this episode, Jessica and Alexa get real about what it feels like to juggle all the things — ministry, family, work, and still trying to keep your peace. From funny “I can’t do this anymore” moments to those quiet reminders that God’s grace is enough, this episode reminds us that being overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re out of faith… it just means you’re human.They talk about setting boundaries, saying no without guilt, finding balance in busy seasons, and letting God handle what feels too heavy to carry. Because yes, you can be too blessed to be stressed — but still need a nap, a prayer, and a deep breath in Jesus’ name.Tune in for laughter, lessons, and a fresh reminder that God can handle your overflow.Application: Steps to Find PeaceStep 1 — Pause.When your mind starts racing, stop. Take a breath and acknowledge God’s presence. Say out loud, “God, You are near.”Step 2 — Pray Honestly.Tell God what’s heavy. You don’t have to fix it — just lay it down.“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7Step 3 — Prioritize.Ask God, “What matters most right now?” Not everything is urgent, but His peace helps you see what’s truly important.Step 4 — Partner.Don’t isolate. Call a trusted friend, mentor, or pastor. God often provides strength through community.Step 5 — Practice Gratitude.Write down three things you’re thankful for daily. Gratitude re-centers your focus on God’s faithfulness, not your fatigue.#LasLocasChronicles #LLCSeason3 #TooBlessedToBeStressed #FaithPodcast #ChristianPodcast #WomenInMinistry #FaithJourney #OverwhelmedButBlessed #AuthenticFaith #GodsTiming

Episode 36: Rapture Ready
Send us Fan MailJessica and Alexa tackle the viral RaptureTok predictions that claimed the rapture would happen on September 23–24, 2025—and why those claims miss the mark. They remind us that no one knows the day or hour (Matthew 24) and that Jesus will come like a thief in the night.This conversation dives deep into:- Living prepared, not panicked – don’t get ready, be ready.-The parable of the 10 Virgins (Matthew 25) and the power of carrying your own “oil”—symbolizing the Holy Spirit, anointing, and a genuine relationship with Christ.- What it means to walk with authority, discernment, and boldness as a woman of God who changes atmospheres.-The difference between wise and foolish believers: outward religion vs. inward reality.Jessica and Alexa challenge listeners to examine their hearts:What’s really inside your lamp?Are you depending on someone else’s oil or cultivating your own?Are you teaching and discipling others (Matthew 28) or waiting in isolation?Key takeaway: Preparation is personal. Salvation and readiness can’t be borrowed or transferred. God calls us to live holy, walk in our calling, and carry the oil that comes only from time in His presence.Don’t settle for looking the part. Live in continual faith, stay full of the Spirit, and walk in the anointing that makes darkness tremble.Subscribe for more episodes of Locas Chronicles and share this message with a friend who needs encouragement to stay rapture ready. #RaptureReady #LocasChronicles #FaithPodcast #HolySpirit #EndTimes #WomenOfGod

Episode 32: All In | Obedience
Send us Fan MailIn this compelling episode of Las Locas Chronicles, Episode 32 dives deep into the heart of true obedience. Partial obedience is still disobedience, a reminder that being half-way in is still half-way out. True obedience means going all in, even when it’s uncomfortable.Our message today doesn’t sugarcoat the reality—obedience isn’t always comfortable. It often requires sacrifice, courage, and unwavering trust. We explore how biblical women like Esther and Ruth exemplified this fearless submission to God's call—choosing obedience over ease, and courage over comfort.Together, we’ll unpack how these obstacles can derail us, and how Esther's bravery and Ruth's loyalty teach us to let go of fear, pride, and self-will—and choose full abandonment to God’s leading.Why This Episode Matters-It’s a call to wholehearted faith—no half measures, no backup plans.-It’s honest and relatable—we all wrestle with fear, pride, and busyness.-It’s rooted in scripture and real-life faith—Esther and Ruth embody the beauty of trusting God, even when it’s risky.Pastor Jessica’s sermon “All In, Part 2” offers actionable steps to move beyond partial obedience. https://www.youtube.com/live/F0mTZRXf...Patti Burris’s article gives us clarity on what holds us back—and how to overcome it.https://pattiburris.com/tag/obstacles...#LocasChronicles #Episode32 #AllIn #Obedience #FaithOverFear #WomenOfFaith #EstherObeyed #RuthObeyed #FaithJourney #GodsCall #WalkInObedience #TrustGod #Disobedience #KingdomWomen #FaithPodcast #ChristianWomen #SpiritualGrowth #JesusFirst #FaithOverComfort #ObedienceOverConvenience

Send us Fan MailVictory doesn’t start with your circumstances—it starts in your mind. In this episode of Las Locas Chronicles, we dive deep into what it means to shift your mindset from defeat to faith, and from fear to victory.Victory is about choosing to see yourself the way God sees you—called, chosen, and equipped for more.Just like Job, who lost everything yet declared, “I know that my Redeemer lives” (Job 19:25), our victory doesn’t depend on what we see—it depends on who we trust. Even in the hardest seasons, your faith and mindset determine whether you stay in defeat or walk in the freedom God already promised you.Are you ready to step into victory and live it out every single day?👉 Watch now and subscribe to Las Locas Chronicles on YouTube for more faith-filled conversations that are real, raw, and rooted in God’s truth.#VictoryMindset #FaithOverFear #LasLocasChronicles #Job #ChristianPodcast #MindsetShift #RenewYourMind #JesusWins

You’ll hear about the importance of journaling, making faith declarations, and learning to be still—to wait, prepare, and avoid making permanent decisions in temporary seasons.We explore what it means to live as daughters of God, not His employees, and how communion, freedom, and spiritual inheritance change everything. Plus, hear inspiring testimonies, divine appointments, and why trusting God in “the in-between” is often the hardest part—but also where faith is built.📖 “I know the plans I have for you…” – Jeremiah 29:11#LasLocasChronicles #TrustInGod #FaithJourney #LetGoLetGod #ChristianPodcast #WalkByFaith #FreedomInChrist #ChristianWomen #FaithOverFear #GodsPlan #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianLife #PrayerLife #ChristianEncouragement

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode of Las Locas Chronicles, the Locas take over Crux Journey Church — the first church to open its doors to our wild obedience! We talk about what it means to truly break generational cycles and walk in the freedom God intended for us.From poverty, abuse, addiction, and witchcraft, to mental health struggles, obesity, and broken family dynamics — no chain is too heavy for the blood of Jesus to break. Obedience opens doors — and in this episode, we expose the lies we've inherited and traded them in for God’s truth.Jess gets real about her family’s history of alcoholism, anger, and generational hate — and how her encounter with God transformed not only her, but the way she parents, lives, and loves. We talk about the mindset shift it takes to break cycles, and why it's critical to cast vision for a future we’ve never seen modeled.Romans 12:2 — Be not conformed, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.Are you stuck in a cycle?Do you know what God's Word actually says about it?Are you ready to break it for your children and their children?JESUS is the cycle breaker.
