In this episode of La Verdad Duele Podcast, I recorded an episode answering the frequently asked questions or concerns that people may have about the Moderna Vaccine. A great way to learn and understand the initial concerns that people may have and the answers to questions about the vaccine rooted from the clinical trials.

In this episode of La Verdad Duele Podcast, I talked about lessons that I've learned from my upbringing that my father taught me about forgiveness. I also shared a well known story in Islam about the man who killed 100 people, but died on his way to repenting to God. However, it was reported that the man will be forgiven in the day of judgement for his righteous intentions of wanting to repent to God for his actions. The takeaway from this episode is that if God can forgive us, who are we not to forgive each other!
