When spiritual seeking creates distance between close friends

My childhood friend and I have been exploring different spiritual paths for years and recently we've both been drawn to something deeper but our approaches are so different that our conversations about faith have become a source of tension rather than connection. We used to be able to talk about everything and now this thing that matters most to both of us is the one thing we can't discuss without misunderstanding each other.
