This study contributes to the dialogue in the higher education literature on spirituality by describing how traditional-age college students of monotheistic faiths make meaning of a challenge to their conception of God. These students' experiences were examined in order to address two, identified deficiencies in the literature: a) the neglect of perspectives that assume a supernatural reality; and b) the unintentional suppression of perspectives that view spirituality and religion as being intertwined. Extensive, open-ended interviews were conducted to access the meaning-making processes of eight college students who attend a public university and identify strongly with one of the Abrahamic faiths: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. A phenomenological approach was employed to analyze the students' meaning-making processes and identify the common essence among their experiences free from assumptions about spirituality found in the literature or held by the investigator.
