A woman named Becky is lounging by the pool at the Fountain Blue Hotel when a strapping

pool attendant catches her eye.

She asks him if he would like to go on a date with her, but there's a catch.

Her husband wants to get in on the action too.

What begins as an unconventional proposition will soon throw them all into the international

spotlight.

And that's because the couple is none other than Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife, Becky,

two of the most powerful figures in the evangelical America.

But as their forbidden fling blossomed into a full-fledged relationship, the Falwells

did much more than break their own rules.

Andery presents, in God we lust, a story of an alluring sex scandal, power, money, and

a very public fall from grace.

Now listen to this.

While running Liberty University, a school that strictly enforces abstinence, there's

even a rule against prolonged eye contact with the opposite sex.

The Falwells lure Giancarlo Grande into a love triangle that lasted years.

They promised him the world, paying for a new apartment, treating him to lavish vacations

and brokering meetings between him and the likes of Donald Trump.

Oh, but when word of their threple fell into the wrong hands, it led to political extortion

and international headlines that brought Jerry Falwell Jr.'s empire crashing down.
