Deconstruction does not happen in a vacuum. Usually, there is a catalyst that triggers a deconstruction process in someone’s life. Understanding what those catalysts are is foundational to understanding how doubt and doctrine are involved in the deconstruction process. Not all doctrines are equally important, nor is all doubt of equal weight, and being able to distinguish between core doctrinal beliefs and beliefs that are urgent, important, or unimportant is vital to helping someone make sense of their crisis of faith and how severe it may (or may not) be.
