In the praise episodes, the congregation get together in the church with a band, having prayers, showing their thankfulness to God. The band sings hymns in a “pop music” style. In these episodes, people tell their life story and thank God for all of the good things in their life. The hymns are very catchy and a great way to practise listening in Chinese. Some of them are faster and some of them are slightly slower.
