ABOUT THE SHOW
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!
MEET THE HOSTS
Pastor Alexa was born and raised in New York in a humble, non-believing home. At the age of 17, she experienced a personal and life-changing encounter with Christ that
transformed her heart and mission forever. That night, she made a vow to reach others who, like herself, were broken, and to lead them to the love and mercy of Jesus.
For over 25 years, Pastor Alexa has faithfully honored that vow, ministering to thousands across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe. Through her gifts of teaching, preaching, counseling, and worship, she has guided countless hearts toward healing and wholeness. Her passion for empowering others has led her to establish Be Not Conformed, a ministry focused on youth, and This is My Time Ministries, which inspires women across generations to step into their God-given purpose.
For the past 12 years, Pastor Alexa and her husband, Efrain, have served as Senior Pastors of Vida Church, located in the growing and vibrant city of Amarillo, Texas.
Pastor Jessica is a passionate teacher and communicator who equips audiences to align their hearts with God’s Word and confidently step into their God-given calling. Born and raised in New York—first in the Bronx and then in Long Island—Jessica grew up in a Pentecostal church and, at the age of 17, accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. That encounter completely transformed her life and ignited her passion for ministry.
She now serves as Lead Associate Pastor at Springcreek Church in Garland, TX, blending biblical truth, practical wisdom, and engaging communication to inspire real spiritual growth. Jessica holds a Ph.D. and a Master of Theological Studies, combining academic depth with pastoral experience. Jessica has been married to her husband Richie for 26 years, and they have two adult children, Joshua who serves in the United States Air Force and Bianca who is a college graduate of the University of South Florida. They made Florida their home for 20 years until God called them to minister in the great state of Texas!
