Seasons of Faith: Trusting Jesus with Every Outcome

A fellow traveler reflects on the seasons of life and learning to trust Jesus with every outcome. Everyday, down-to-earth experiences of growing up in the Inland Northwest, from cowpies and sneaking out to fellow workers, elk hunting, hardy families, and log cabin building are paired with the glories of God’s creations, and the wonders of His character are expressed in humorous and poignant prose and poetry. These delightful meditations on finding God in the everyday give us a window into the challenges of big country, the characters of the land, and the majesty of God in fresh, compelling language.

Product Description

“The Inland Northwest is blessed with four distinct seasons for those who find little pleasure in wasting away indoors … Fishing Season, Huckleberry Season, Hunting Season, and Snow Shoveling Season,” says author Mitchell Smith. 

An outdoorsman from a rugged family, Smith explores the glories of wild country in the Inland Northwest and beyond, as well as the One who created it, using fresh expressions of prose and poetry.  

Just as in nature, there are seasons of life, some easier, some harder. “The same way wild country challenges outdoorsmen, seekers, wanderers, and trekkers, God the Father provides incredible opportunities for us to grow our faith through what he puts in our paths,” says Smith. 

This second book in the Throughline series, following A Litany of Praise, tracks the author’s lifetime efforts in learning to trust Jesus with every outcome of life. These delightful and often humorous meditations on learning to trust Jesus give us another unique window on the wonders of creation and the majesty of God in compelling language.  

“Imagine Patrick McManus meets John Muir meets psalmist King David—and you have some idea of what awaits you in Mitch Smith’s new book, Seasons of Faith. Whether it’s an up-close encounter with a black bear, saying goodbye to a beloved dog, or chasing “totality” across the Northwest, Mitch’s stories and poems made me laugh, cry, and most of all…muse. Grab your journal and a cup of hot cocoa, and settle in with Mitch to consider your own seasons of faith.”

—Joe Wittwer, founding pastor, Life Center
