Summary

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.

0:03.8	Hi friends, it's Paula Ferris.
0:05.9	You might remember me from Good Morning America or The View.
0:09.6	It's okay if you don't, but I have a new view now.
0:12.6	My husband and I moved to South Carolina with our three kids, and I'm exploring new seasons
0:18.3	of calling.
0:19.2	Each week I'm joined by friends to have real, honest conversations about their stories,
0:24.7	their struggles and triumphs, all to encourage and empower you.
0:28.6	We're going to be talking about what people are called to do and who they're called to be.
0:33.2	I welcome you in to the Paula Ferris, Faith and Calling podcast.
0:39.2	Hi, friends, and welcome back to the podcast.
0:42.1	So we're coming up on the 10-year anniversary of the tragic death of Whitney Houston, February 11, 2012.
0:49.6	And no one was closer to Whitney than C.C. Wynens.
0:53.6	They were best friends. C.C. is the best-selling
0:56.6	female gospel singer of all time, and she joins me in conversation today. I can't tell you how
1:03.4	much I enjoyed this episode, and to be honest, it wrecked me a little bit. I was so encouraged. I learned so
1:09.8	much. My soul and my heart were both so full
1:13.1	after our time together. So if you've ever felt like you're being called to something that's
1:18.0	completely out of your comfort zone, or you have to be thrust into it, Cece Weinan's can relate.
1:24.2	Yes, she grew up in a musical home. The W-ins are gospel greats. But being a solo artist,
1:31.1	that's nothing that she's ever been comfortable with. Nothing she has ever wanted. In fact,
1:37.5	Whitney Houston had this nickname for her. She always called me the reluctant star. That was her name for me.
