Jared first celebrates progress. This is the 2 year anniversary( as of March 1st) of this podcast being out in public. Jared also reminisces of going to the hospital a year ago and the last time he was in the movie theater.

Jared talks about a recent story of dealing with conflict with a co-worker and then hanging out and trying to connect with each other but Jared's distraction with Facebook and podcasting networking. Having opportunities to be present with people and nature. Don't let it pass you up. Take advantage of these moments.

Other bullet points to consider:

1. What is an episode? It is when things are imbalanced. When things are not right. Either a manic high or a depressive low. it usually is brought on by stress or even medication changes. Your sleep is probably being affected. Jared's sleep always suffered in an episode.
2.  No one is going to die! No one probably would notice if you left the group. Not that serious.( talking about podcast Facebook groups)
3.  Jared was missing out because I was feeding my soul with distraction.
4.  Psalm 37 feed on his faithfulness
5. The language in Scripture satisfying us like food
6. John the 7 I Am's. 2 of them have to do with water and food. Bread of life and living water.
7. The miracles of the old Testaments. Daily manna. Daily provision.
8. Isaiah 55 Why do you spend your money on that which doesn't satisfy?
9. John 4 Jesus and the women at the well. If you knew the gift the God and who it is who is talking to you, you wouldn't run and hide and go to other things. You would ask to be satisfied and filled up.
10. I am sorry for not talking about God more!
11. *27 minute mark* Be as grateful as possible for everything
12. One of the most important messages in Scripture is being grateful
13. Love is the most important thing. Gratitude is the fruit of love.
14.  We can really receive as much as he wants to give.
15. Because of depression you feel like you are surviving...just get through the day without suicidal thoughts. Everyday is a burden. The opposite of gratitude.
16. Depression then turns into self-hatred and then it turns into anger
17. First thing to do:
    1. Make a really really long list of everything you are grateful for.
    2. 1 Thes. 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances
    3. Psalm 118:24 this is the day that the Lord has made
    4. 'every single day is a second chance at life.'
    5. Col. 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts and be thankful.
    6. Ps. 107:1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord for He is good
    7. Math. 6:21 Where your treasure is there your heart is.
    8. 2 Cor. 2:14 Thanks be to God.
