Do you struggle with envy? Wish you had someone else's life, spouse, home, or summer schedule? You're not alone—and Scripture speaks directly to that longing. In this episode, Rob and Amy Rienow unpack the often-overlooked 10th Commandment: "Do not covet."
Through honest confessions, biblical teaching, and cultural insights—from backyard envy to ancient wars over stolen love—they explore why coveting can quietly damage your heart, your marriage, and your parenting. Plus, discover how the comparison trap keeps families from experiencing true contentment and gratitude.

- Why coveting is a heart issue, not just a behavior
