Hi there,

That site is not hosted with us on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software at another hosting provider.
Which image your site suggests to Facebook is determined by Open Graph tags added in your post’s HTML head section, and those tags are currently being added by the Jetpack plugin. However, all Jetpack can do is make a suggestion – Facebook decides which image to use.
You can find more details on this here:
Once you share a post to Facebook, the preview for that posts gets cached on Facebook’s end, so even if you later change the featured image for the post, the original image will continue to be used on Facebook’s end if you share the same post again.
To have Facebook update the image on their end for new shares, you need to force Facebook to clear their cache. You can do that by pasting the post URL into their debugger and telling that tool to re-scrape the content for that post:
