13: Lust - Pastor Matt Baker Part 1

Lust in the simplest of terms can be described as an intense longing, perhaps a coming of age confused - constant thought of a high school crush or a celebrity you see on TV.  People who are in the throes of lust may lose their sensibilities, since lust seems unable to recognize the reality of a situation or motivates one to neglect it. It’s a excuse that can be slightly valid in the most innocent of cases but there’s a fine line between a crush, and lust crossing dangerously over into stalking, non consent, or even worse violent sexual assault. But the crush excuse or innocent lack of “sensibility” in the moment does not describe the subject of this season’s lustful lecher Pastor Matt Baker.  No, in fact he was callous, unashamed, and unapologetic in his pursuit to control and take what he felt he deserved.  He “ordained” the time or place of the encounter. He sought to conquest and manipulate,  but mostly barrel his way into groping or finding the most disgusting of times to violate innocent teens, women, and overall, everyone that knew him.  But the person he manipulated, gas lit and violated the most was his unbelievably devoted wife, who’s life was destroyed by her husband Matt Baker...
