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.

In this powerful episode of They Come With Instructions, René Anderson sits down with Jasmine Gates, who courageously shares her journey of faith, identity, and redemption. Raised in the church, Jasmine found herself struggling with same-sex attraction and later living a lesbian lifestyle—until God drew her heart back to Him.
Through her transparent testimony, Jasmine opens up about her internal battles, her return to the foundation of her upbringing, and the power of God’s love to restore even the most broken places.
This episode reminds parents that when you’ve trained your children in a God-fearing home, you can trust that the seeds you planted will take root in God’s timing. You’ll also be encouraged to create safe spaces where your children can speak up if they’ve been hurt or violated, and to stand firm in faith, prayer, and fasting—knowing there is no sin too deep that the blood of Jesus cannot cover, and no life too far gone that He cannot redeem.
💬 Key Themes:
- The redeeming power of God’s love and grace
- Hope for parents whose children have drifted from their faith
- Healing from sexual trauma and the importance of safe spaces
- Spiritual weapons for victorious living: fasting, prayer, and perseverance
