You Shall Not Covet

God's Big Story

Julie and Matt explore the 10th commandment, "you shall not covet," and they grapple with its meaning and how it ties into trusting God. This episode is a great reminder of how simple gestures can help us remember and understand complex biblical teachings.

As a bonus, our good friend and new mom, Amber, stops by to share her journey of new motherhood, her struggles with understanding her baby's needs, and how she continues to strive to provide the best for her child. Through her story, we're reminded that just as a mother knows and wants what's best for her child, God, as our heavenly father, knows and wants what's best for us.

Watch this video to learn all 10 commandments!
