I am terribly frustrated. I continue to get the, "Can’t download episodes from your feed." error when trying to validate my podcast. I have a hosted site through wordpress and the Feed is here (http://feeds.feedburner.com/TPCSermons) I am now at a loss. I have tried a link and I have tried embedding the mp3. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you for your help!

Your episode does not have an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of your media file, as required by iTunes - indeed there is no reference to a media file at all.
Your web page at http://turningpointchurchonline.com/media/ has media but it is a YouTube video: iTunes does not handle these which will be why Wordpress has not created an 'enclosure' tag (there is no file in any case, as YouTube is a streaming service).
Your media file must be one of .mp3, .m4a, .m4v, .mov or .mp4 file (not Windows Media, RealMedia or Flash).
Thank you for the response.
So the feed is supposed to be based on the post http://turningpointchurchonline.com/14feb-proverbs-wisdom/ which does contain a link to the mp3 stored in Amazon S3. Did I load that incorrectly? My feedburner is supposed to be building enclosures for all links to audio (i.e. MP3).
I built the burner to pull the tags "podcast" for the feed
If you want Feedburner to create the enclosure tag you have to submit the media file directly to Feedburner. Probably you have to turn Smartcast on so that tags you add in Feedburner over-ride the original feed, but I can't advise in detail on Feedburner.
It's better to get the tag into the original feed. Again, I can't advise on how you do this in WordPress but they have a Help page at https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/podcasting/ . As I say, at present no media file details are getting into the feed at all.
Okay I will check there. Again, thank you for the analysis and the point in the right direction.
