What does the Tenth Commandment have to do with Target runs, Amazon carts, and Instagram ads? In this episode, Mark and Emily explore “Do not covet” and talk honestly about living in a world designed to stir desire and fuel discontent.
They discuss why coveting runs deeper than wanting stuff — it’s about wanting someone else’s life — and why modern advertising, comparison culture, and curated online lifestyles make contentment both harder and more essential. With practical ideas like 24-hour purchase rules, fasting from buying, gratitude habits, and learning to rejoice in others’ good, this conversation invites us into a lifestyle shaped by worship, simplicity, and joy in God’s provision.
