The Paula Faris 'Faith & Calling' Podcast

Ep 51 - CeCe Winans: The Power of Belief, Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone and Remembering Whitney Houston


Listen Later

When you’re faced with a challenge, do you know the difference between just praying for it and actually believing for it? If that question makes you pause, then go ahead and press play on this week’s episode of “Faith & Calling” because the answer is here and it’s a game-changer. CeCe Winans, the best selling, most awarded female in Gospel music history, is joining Paula on this week’s episode of “Faith & Calling,” and we’ll go ahead and call it an anointed appointment because CeCe is taking us to church! 

Move the unmovable… Break the unbreakable… God we believe… God we believe for it

These lyrics are from her goosebump-inducing latest worship anthem, Believe For It, and CeCe breaks down the powerful process of praying AND believing for it. She shares how she fights back when doubt comes to mind and opens up about the most recent way she saw God “break the unbreakable” on the very day this conversation was recorded – after years of praying and believing it would come to pass. Goosebumps, again. 

While CeCe’s work has been marked by an outstanding music career, her life is also a testament that God’s calling on your life has no limits. Paula and CeCe retrace her early gospel roots, her life-long reluctance to be in front of people (God has a great sense of humor), and how a word from God – against her plans to sell her house and move to California – led CeCe and her husband, Alvin, to become founding pastors of Nashville Life Church in 2012. 

CeCe also takes a moment with Paula to remember the late Whitney Houston, whom she called both her best friend and her sister, with next month marking 10 years since Whitney’s passing. Hear how their friendship continues to impact and carry CeCe today, how Whitney stood up for Cece, and why CeCe was Whitney's safe place.
