Podcast Session #9
What is your approach to God? Is it based on how good you have been, how well have you read the Bible, prayed daily or followed His commandments? Is this the correct approach to God?
In today’s podcast, Jeremy and Emily will discuss the blood of Christ; a topic that can often be hard to apply practically to our everyday lives. However, in this podcast they discuss very practical applications around the blood and the power it has to not only bring salvation but to change our daily walk with the Lord and our approach to God.

Short Bio On Nee:
Watchman Nee was a prominent Chinese Christian leader and writer who lived from 1903 to 1972. His life and work left a significant impact on the Christian faith in China and beyond.
Born in Fuzhou, China, Nee grew up in a Christian family and became a believer at a young age. He dedicated his life to serving Christ and sharing the Gospel with others. Nee’s ministry focused on establishing house churches, which became a vital part of the Chinese Christian community.
According to Dwell Christian Church, Nee’s house church movement was inspired by his vision of a more organic and intimate form of Christian fellowship. His belief was that the church was not a physical building but rather a gathering of believers who shared their faith, lives, and resources.
Nee’s teachings emphasized the importance of spiritual growth and discipleship. He wrote extensively on topics such as the Holy Spirit, prayer, and the Christian life. His writings were widely translated and distributed, and he is considered one of the most influential Chinese Christian writers of the 20th century.
Throughout his life, Nee faced many challenges and setbacks. He spent a significant portion of his ministry in prison, where he endured persecution and suffering. Despite this, he remained faithful to his calling, and his ministry continued to thrive.
In 1952, Nee was arrested and accused of being a counter-revolutionary. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and spent the remainder of his life in detention. However, even in prison, he continued to minister to his fellow inmates and write books that would later become widely read and influential.
Nee’s legacy has continued to impact the Christian faith long after his death. His teachings on discipleship, prayer, and spiritual growth have inspired many Christians around the world. The house church movement that he helped establish in China has also become a model for Christian communities in other countries.
His legacy has left an indelible mark on the Christian faith, and his influence continues to be felt today.
