Rest & Remain
Hosted by Krista Kalinowski · EN
Hi I'm Krista, host of the Rest and Remain podcast, writer, wife and Mom who absolutely loves Jesus. As an outpouring of that love and my deep desire to see others grow in their faith, I've created the Rest and Remain Ministry.
Through blog writing, podcasts, and creating digital study resources, my hope is that women around the world will be encouraged to go deeper in their relationship with the Lord and also share the good news about Jesus to those whose hearts are ready to receive it.
My prayer with each of these episodes is to draw you back to the heart of God. That you would find your rest in Him by remaining dependently tethered to His truth, daily choosing to faithfully follow Him and place your confidence in Him alone. May you step into each new day with an eager expectation of what God will do in and through you, for His glory and His glory alone.
Let's keep walking hand in hand with Jesus!

Apr 6, 202500:22:57Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the Rest and Remain Podcast, we’re diving into Part 5 of the Rest Series. In this episode we will be talking about our thought life and how we can begin taking control over what goes on in our minds in order to keep ourselves focused on what is true. I share a personal experience of when I was a teenager and my thought’s were fixed on the right things and I filled my mind with words that drew me away from God, instead of closer.

We’ll also talk about 5 practical ways you can begin controlling the thoughts that fill your mind according to what the Bible says.
