When spiritual practices with friends lose their meaning

My best friend and I used to pray together every week and somewhere along the way it started feeling performative and hollow but neither of us wants to be the one to say we should stop. We keep showing up for something that doesn't feel alive anymore and I think we're both pretending it's still meaningful.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
