Abstract

Faith plays a key role in the lives of many college students. Religious experiences are often heightened at a time when learners seek to navigate academic and social demands. This chapter highlights a single narrative involving an act of forgiveness that changed a young man's life. The narrative also provides a backdrop for experiences of the five interviewees at the faith-based institution they attended. The stories they brought with them to college developed into radical shifts of faith and ultimately altered narratives that strengthened their spiritual journeys.
