This is not a podcast feed: it does not have an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of the media file, as required by iTunes. You may find this WordPress instructional page on podcasting helpful:https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/podcasting/


Even when you sort this out your media file won't work. The URL in your 'description' tag and given above leads to an arcihve.org web page with the audio file in a player. You must provide a direct link to the audio file. You can find this by copying the URL of the 'VBR MP3' link in the sidebar. This gives you:


https://archive.org/download/RYMPodcastShowEpisode1WhoWeAre/RYM%20Podcast%20Show %20-%20Episode%201-%20Who%20we%20Are.mp3


Which works but you should remove the 's' from 'https'.

The feed now seems to be OK and can be subscribed to succesfully in iTunes. However the URL given for your 'itunes:image' tag is

hthttp://renewyourmindministry.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/podcast_notitle.jpg


The image itself is OK, but obviously you need to remove the 'ht' off the front: your feed won't be accepted until the image is correct.


If you are getting an 'experiencing difficulties' error it probably means there is a problem at the server. Leave it for a bit then try again. (Being a weekend I suppose it's possible it might not get fixed until Monday.)
