When parents and teens clash over evolving faith

My teenage daughter and I used to talk about everything including the big questions about meaning and purpose, but since she started questioning the faith I raised her in, every conversation feels like I'm either betraying my beliefs or pushing her away. She's becoming someone I don't understand and I'm terrified that protecting my own spiritual foundation means losing connection with her completely.
