Fork in the Road - God in the War on Terror

Heart and Soul Fork in the Road

Jane Little meets two men who both answered the call after 9/11 to join the War on Terror, but who came out of it with very different ideas about their relationship with God.

How is it that two people can share the same experiences and events and it have such different effects on their faith?

Jane Little meets two men who both answered the call after 9/11 to join the War on Terror, but who came out of it with very different ideas about their relationship with God.

Rory Fanning and Jesse Bowman both served in the US Army and witnessed the worst that war could throw up. One of them lost his previously unshakeable Catholicism, the other found comfort from the psychological trauma in God.

They both share candidly with Jane their experiences and how these shaped their futures.
