There Are Good Things Here

By: Norman Hubbard
  • Summary

  • Life can sometimes get so complicated, confusing, and painful that we lose sight of the good. No one knew that better than Katie Hubbard, a mom of four who lived with cancer for seven years and left 50 journals behind her filled with hope, longing, and sincere faith. If you’re skeptical of simple answers but open to honest searching after God, there are good things here. You’ll find that seven minutes a day is good preparation for living well eternally.

  • “In This Place There Are Good Things” S03 | E23
    Apr 1 2024
    In this final episode of Season 3, we find Katie Hubbard characteristically wrestling with questions of doubt and faith, death and life, promises of provision and bills to pay. Most of all, we find her true to herself and her God, committed to the hard work of finding good things in the hardest of places. This podcast is probably the final one, so I share some final thoughts.

  • “I Love the Perspective that Comes with Having Cancer” S03 | E22
    Mar 25 2024
    Katie hated almost everything about cancer treatment, except for the perspective cancer brings. She had a high tolerance for pain but a low tolerance for medication. Constant check-ups and scans left her feeling exposed and anxious. The surgeries, scars and hair loss felt like an assault on her womanhood. Yet, she could write without hesitation to the Lord, “I hate [my] anxiety and the uncertainty I live with, but I do love the perspective that comes with having cancer. Sometimes, I think everyone should have cancer.”

  • Reflections and Hopes for a New Year (2014) S03 | E21
    Mar 18 2024
    Katie Hubbard closes out 2013 with a long journal entry on everything she had done since mid-November of that year. (She didn’t journal a lot during that time because her journal went missing for a month.) It’s amazing to consider all she did after finishing chemo, radiation, and reconstructive surgery. It would have been a full life for a person in perfect health. Going into 2014, she lists out lessons learned from the previous year: “What Have I Learned: God is trustworthy. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I can turn towards Him or away from Him in trials. God will provide. God will provide.”
