In this episode of the Rest and Remain Podcast, we’re diving into Part 6 of the Rest Series: The Privilege and Gift of Prayer. In this episode we’re diving into the beautiful and foundational topic of prayer — what is it, how’s it’s changed from the Old Testament to the New Testament, what Scripture calls us to pray for, and why we should be praying as followers of Christ. 

Whether prayer feels like second nature to you or something you still wrestle with, I pray this conversation brings clarity, encouragement, and deeper intimacy with the Lord.

In 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. This was a pretty dark season of my life, but thankfully by the grace of God He rescued me and I’m humbled to be able to share this with you. We’ll also talk about 5 practical ways you can begin controlling the thoughts that fill your mind according to what the Bible says. We are in a spiritual battle and what we think about matters for the sake of the Kingdom.

In this episode of the Rest and Remain Podcast, we continue our Rest Series, exploring how our beliefs about God impact our ability to truly rest in Him. Do we believe He is a firm foundation? Do we trust His control, love, and guidance? 

I also share my personal journey of finding a church community and explore why biblical community is essential for every believer. We discuss the vital role of Christian community—how relationships refine, support, and strengthen us in faith. Jesus modelled the importance of community, and through Scripture and examples from Jesus’ life, discover how community provides connection, accountability, and strength to grow in faith and live out the gospel.

Join me as we unpack biblical wisdom, personal experiences, and practical ways to walk in faith. Don’t forget to check out the Unshakable Rest: Renew Your Mind Workbook and my free resource on replacing lies with God’s truth—linked below!

In this special Christmas episode of the Rest and Remain Podcast, we’re pausing our rest series to reflect on the humility of Christ through the lens of Philippians 2:6-8. 

Join me, as we dive into the wonder of Jesus choosing to step down from heavenly glory to meet us in our brokenness.

Together, we’ll explore the profound significance of His birth — from the manger to the cross — and what it means to live with the same humility and love He displayed. Whether you’re preparing lunch for the kids, driving to work, or quietly listening with your Bible open, this episode will encourage your heart and anchor your focus on what truly matters this holiday season.

Let’s celebrate the beauty of Christ’s sacrifice and His call to live humbly, serve others, and share His love.

Welcome to the Rest and Remain Podcast! I’m your host, Krista Kalinowski, and today we’re diving into the next episode in the rest series, titled A Rest Beyond Today.

In this episode, we’ll explore the story of Israel's journey to and within the Promised Land, the impact of their unbelief, and how their struggles mirror our own. We’ll also discuss the eternal rest we have through Jesus—a rest that surpasses the temporary comforts of this world.

I’ll share how a children’s Bible reading with my kids sparked today’s topic, and how loss, heartbreak, and life’s uncertainties can point our hearts toward our ultimate rest in Christ. Together, we’ll reflect on God’s unchanging promises and the truth that while this world is not our home, our eternal rest with Him is secure.

Plus, I’ll introduce some exciting updates, including a new email series and resources to help you grow deeper in your walk with Christ.

Listen in to find encouragement, hope, and practical insights as we journey toward the rest that can only be found in Jesus.

In this first episode of the Rest and Remain Podcast, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone to follow God’s call—sharing my story and the heart behind this ministry. My name is Krista Kalinowski, and I’m here to build authentic relationships, support you in your journey, and encourage you as you walk with Jesus.

This episode is all about introductions: who I am, the testimony God has written on my life, and the winding path He used to bring me to this ministry. From navigating personal trials and spiritual growth to homeschooling my two boys and discovering God’s perfect timing in my work, I share how the Rest and Remain Ministry was born and why it’s rooted in helping others find peace in God’s presence.

Through this podcast, I aim to draw women back to the heart of God, equipping them to live in His rest and remain steadfast in a busy, chaotic world. Each episode will explore themes of faith, surrender, and living with an unshakable trust in Jesus.

Stay tuned for monthly episodes on topics like renewing your mind, examining your heart, and trusting God in every season. Thank you for joining me on this journey as we learn to rest and remain in Christ together.
