Summary

On this episode, Sadie and Gavri'el discuss various scandals surrounding Jerry Falwell's ministry and Liberty University, as well as the pool boy scandal that prompted the Falwell family's departure from leadership of Liberty University.

TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. This episode will cover racism, homophobia, and campus sexual assault, handled in a typically bad way, as fundie universities tend to do, by betraying the students who were victimized and protecting their assailants. This episode also covers a sordid affair which many of you probably already knows the details of. We won’t be kink shaming, but we will be picking apart the many ways in which this affair wasn’t as consensual as it may appear.
