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

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
