The Jesus Response for Life’s Uncertain Seasons: 65 Letters on Purpose and What Comes Next

By John Pohl

Some seasons of life come with clear answers. Others leave us standing between what was and whatever comes next.

The Jesus Response for Life's Uncertain Seasons contains 65 imagined letters from Jesus to fictional people facing change, uncertainty, difficult decisions, waiting, and questions about purpose. Each letter meets someone in a particular moment and considers what Jesus might say to them through the compassion, wisdom, and teachings found in the Gospels.

Some are wondering whether they are on the right path. Some are starting over after plans have changed. Others are waiting for an answer, questioning their direction, or struggling with the feeling that everyone else seems to know where they are going.

There are letters for the person facing a crossroads, the person afraid of making the wrong choice, the person whose plans have fallen apart, the person who feels behind in life, and the person asking what their life is supposed to mean now.

Their circumstances may be different from yours, but something in their uncertainty may feel familiar.

Inside you'll find letters exploring:
- Waiting when you want clarity
- Making decisions without knowing the outcome
- Starting over after plans change
- Questions about purpose, direction, and calling
- Feeling behind or unsure of your place in life
- Trusting God when the future feels unclear
- Moving forward without having every answer

These letters do not promise that every decision will become obvious or that faith removes uncertainty. Instead, they offer a place to consider what it means to move through an unclear season with patience, courage, trust, and hope.

The letters are fictional imaginings. They are not presented as literal messages from Jesus, quotations from Scripture, or a replacement for Scripture. They are reflections created to bring the love and teachings of Christ closer to the uncertainty of everyday life.

Read the letters in order, or turn to one that speaks to the season you're in today. Although each letter is addressed to someone else, you may recognize something of your own questions in theirs.

And if you know someone facing a transition, difficult decision, or uncertain future, consider passing this book along with a prayer.

You may not know exactly what comes next. That doesn't mean you have to face the next step without hope.
