They are bright, All-American guys with ambition to spare, hilarious friends and family, even girls they might want to marry. But beneath the surface, they are in turmoil trying to decide whether they're being called in an entirely different direction.

God or the Girl captures the tension, terror, and triumph of Joe, Mike, Steve, and Dan, four 20-something men at the most important crossroads of their lives, as, over the course of this series, they decide whether or not to enroll in the seminary and become Roman Catholic priests, or to find the love of a woman and settle down with a family. This is the ultimate struggle between the choice of two goods.

Always emotional, the choice whether or not to join the clergy, becomes even more fraught and difficult in the final weeks before the ultimate decision, which is where we join our subjects, according to a press statement.

As they reach this defining moment, they find that their friends and family no longer seem to understand them; their girlfriends cannot comprehend why they would choose a lifetime of celibacy; and the world and their own souls seem full of spiritual pitfalls, says the statement, which adds: "Can these young men resist the temptations of an aggressively secular world? Will they finally settle the doubt in their souls? And are they really willing to make the sacrifices necessary to become "Men of God?"

Father Brian Bashista, Vocation Director for Arlington, Virginia, said of the series, "I had the privilege of seeing all five shows several weeks ago. Immediately after the viewing I commented to the producers that, from my perspective as a Vocation Director, they did an incredible job of capturing the reality of vocation discernment with all of its twists and turns, ups and downs, highlights and lowlights."

This five-part series begins Easter Sunday.
