Estimated, confidence 50%: Apple ratings_count of 776 maps to a 200 to 1,000 band (5,000 to 25,000), but the show is a church-run weekly show with no sponsors and a niche audience, so the estimate is set well below that band; cadence, episode count and Podcast Index popularity of 7 also inform the range.
