When your child finds faith that doesn't match your family's spiritual life

My teenage daughter started going to church with her friend's family and she's becoming really devout in a way that feels foreign to our household, but also I can see it's giving her something real and I don't want to interfere with that. We're trying to figure out how to honor her path while staying connected as a family that doesn't share her beliefs.
