Please forgive me if this has been discussed before (search came up empty). What I'd like to see is when I share or when I upload a new sermon, a Facebook app called RSS Graffiti kicks in and posts the new sermon to Facebook. I'm also using Yoasts Wordpress SEO with the Social image for Facebook. I would like for it to grab the sermon preacher image when it posts to Facebook.
Is this currently possible?

You can use RSS Graffiti with Sermon Browser by giving RSS Graffiti your podcast feed. However, the preacher image does not come through on the podcast feed.
You can share a sermon post manually in Facebook and choose the preacher image as your Facebook thumbnail, but I can't think of a good way to automate this with the way Sermon Browser works currently.

Thank you Ben! Currently everything is working the way I like. At times, Facebook doesn't grab the correct picture (sized). But other than that, it's working. I was just hoping for a slight tweak to give the viewers something other than the default image. on my end, when I manually share a sermon, Facebook strips everything past the "?". While the link still points to the actual shared sermon, what FB scrapes for its data is the default sermon home page. I'm sure this is a limitation of the current version. Just wished the updated version was here already.
You can see how FB see's the links here on the developers FB page.

If it pulls a 500 error just ignore it. This is caused by another plugin that is eating up my bandwidth. They are currently updating that plugin as well.
