When parents disagree about how to handle a child's spiritual doubts

My teenage daughter is asking hard questions about faith that I don't have good answers for and my husband thinks we should just tell her to trust and have faith while I think we need to wrestle with her doubts together. Our different approaches are confusing her and creating tension between us about what faithful parenting actually looks like.
