Scenario

When friendship changes after one person finds faith

My best friend of fifteen years has found God in a way that feels sudden and intense and now our conversations feel like she's either trying to convert me or she's holding herself back from saying what she really thinks about my choices. We both know something has shifted between us but neither of us knows how to talk about it without risking the friendship.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sacred transformation in one person can create a chasm of unspoken judgment and misunderstanding that threatens the foundation of intimate friendship.
