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!
