They Come With Instructions
They Come With Instructions is a powerful and insightful podcast inspired by the book of the same name, They Come With Instructions: Biblical Principles for Raising Children. Hosted by author and speaker René Anderson, this podcast challenges the notion that children don't come with instructions-because they do. Rooted in biblical wisdom, each episode provides practical parenting tips, guidance, and encouragement for raising children in today's ever-changing world.
But this podcast goes beyond parenting. René dives into real life challenges-finances, relationships, marriage, and personal growth-offering faith-based principles to navigate life's complexities. With transparency, authenticity, and heartfelt storytelling, she shares personal experiences and hard-earned wisdom to inspire and uplift.
Whether you're a parent seeking direction, an individual looking for encouragement, or someone striving to live a purpose-driven life, They Come With Instructions is here to equip you with the tools and faith you need.
Tune in and be empowered.
