    Thanks for the great podcast.

    I do have one feedback comment. I do not understand the beetle picture. This picture kept me from listening to this podcast for a long time because it seemed fringe and I typically stay away from fringe religious information. Just thought this feedback might be helpful. I ended up eventually listening because I heard about the podcast on the Follow Him podcast.
