{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Passionate Pastor Podcast","slug":"passionatepastor","podcastDescription":"I am very passionate when I give a Friday Sermon. I always have been, and I can’t help it. In fact, when many people hear it is me giving the sermon, they say: ”Oh...it is the ’Imam Al ’Asabee,” or the ”Passionate Pastor” in Arabic. So, that’s what I’ve decided to call my podcast: ”The Passionate Pastor.” This podcast will archive all the Friday Sermons I give on a regular basis. I pray you enjoy and derive benefit from them.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/19432093/657c0ac6a518f2d503dbf19d342f4a31.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/19432093/657c0ac6a518f2d503dbf19d342f4a31_1200x628.jpg?s=6fd90036d2dae12ad6a7730bf99043fe&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://passionatepastor.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/passionatepastor/feed.xml","theme":"double-tree","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-q4pc3-128829d?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":11,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-06:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-6,"text":"(GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Chicago"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":112,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Dr. Hesham A.

As an ICU physician, there is no way I can care for patients without having blood products available. Mosques across the country should be setting up blood drives, as this is part and parcel of what Muslims are all about: helping their neighbors.
