{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Fig Tree with Melani Shock","slug":"mshock","podcastDescription":"In Biblical times, the fig tree was the meditation center of the ancients. The big leaves and drooping branches afforded solitude for one or a few to sit in quiet contemplation undetected and it became known as the “thinking tree.” Join Melani Shock and friends under The Fig Tree as they ponder thoughts which reveal a layer here and there of a deeper meaning, a sharper focus, and a brighter hope as we ponder concepts and stories and search for clearer truths through the realities of our lives.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/15122737/FigTree_apple.jpeg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/15122737/FigTree_apple_1200x628.jpg?s=291ba1461c81b68523f3c7d114e99be3&e=jpeg","podcastUrl":"https://mshock.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/mshock/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-24k6x-e6c131?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":16,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Indiana (East)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Indiana/Indianapolis"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":14,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"mshock","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-24k6x-e6c131-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fig-tree-with-melani-shock/id1649769401","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-24k6x-e6c131?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/0YnncZyXG9XUtcVWegVOXx","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/4cb1dc46-f870-48d9-9ec3-9ee57c914045","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
