    Episode 55: Red Flags in Relationships

    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 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

    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 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

    Episode 53: Locas Unfiltered | Answering Your Real Questions

    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 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!

    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-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

    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, 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

    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 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.

    Episode 49: Merry Christmas & Happy One Year!

    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 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.
