Is it possible that our culture of excess is quietly fueling a spirit of coveting in our hearts and homes? In this closing episode of the 10 Commandments series, Rob and Amy Rienow take a practical look at the 10th commandment—"You shall not covet"—and explore how it plays out in everyday life.
From comparison struggles in marriage to HGTV-fueled discontentment, the Rienows offer honest stories and biblical wisdom to help families fight against the temptation to desire what others have. You'll learn how cultivating daily gratitude and focusing on God's standards can free your family from the trap of comparison and discontent.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why comparison fuels coveting—and how to break the cycle
- How modern culture makes coveting seem normal or harmless
- The importance of measuring your life against God’s Word—not others
- How gratitude is a powerful weapon against envy
- Why even small moments of discontent can damage faith and relationships
