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'd like to go on a date with her, but there's a catch.

Her husband ones in on the action too.

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

spotlight, and that's because the couple is none other than Jerry Fowell Jr. and his

wife Becky, two of the most powerful figures in Evangelical America.

Yet they're forbidden flaying blossom into a full fledged relationship, and the Fowell's

did much more than break their own rules.

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

very public fall from grace.

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

even a rule against prolonged eye contact with opposite sex.

The Fowell's allured John Carlo Grande into a love triangle that lasted years.

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

and broke green meetings with the likes of Donald Trump.

But word of their thrupple fell into the wrong hands that led to a political extortion,

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