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

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
