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.

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:

• Identity shifts: discovering purpose and calling beyond roles
• Relationships: marriage, singleness, divorce, widowhood, changing friendships
• Family seasons: motherhood, infertility, empty nesting, caregiving
• Career & calling: pivots, leadership, ministry, entrepreneurship
• Spiritual transitions: deepening faith, rebuilding, stepping into obedience
• Health & body changes: illness, healing, aging, hormones
• Loss & grief: death, miscarriage, unmet dreams, closed doors
• Growth & elevation: promotion, visibility, leadership, influence
• Why life transitions matter

Transitions 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 3:1

Life transitions aren’t just changes—they are invitations to grow, heal, and become.

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 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.
