A hotel pool attendant in Miami meets a couple. The woman flirts with the pool attendant, and when one thing leads to another...all three of them become enmeshed in a long-term affair that involves sex, money, and power. At the center of the scandal is Jerry Falwell Jr., member of one of the most famous evangelical families in America and president of Liberty University. From Wondery, the makers of The Shrink Next Door and Bunga Bunga, comes IN GOD WE LUST, a six part reported series that looks at the secrets and lies that threaten the Falwell dynasty, and the young man at the heart of the story who tabloids will forever call “the pool boy.” Hosted by Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams, co-hosts of the hit podcast EVEN THE RICH.
