b'In the Bible, First Corinthians 13:4 says, \\u201cLove is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.\\u201d It\\u2019s actually a pretty good definition of love\\u2014the kind most of us hope to have in our lives someday. And it\'s a definition you\\u2019d expect a man of God to live by. A pastor is called to be an example to his congregation. Not to be perfect, but at least transparent\\u2014sincere\\u2014and a soft place to fall for anyone who\\u2019s struggling. But for one congregation in Florida, their leader\\u2019s charm and charisma was nothing more than a trap. Join us for the story of Pastor James Flanders, the dynamic head of the Calvary Emerald Coast church in Fort Walton Beach--and Marie Carlson, the lovely young mother he lured into a web of lust, lies and murder.
