She has been awarded several different Grammy, Dove, and Stellar Awards. CeCe has been able to sing and lead people in worship at the White House and in front of the pope. Her ministry has impacted countless people throughout churches worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode of the Bible Connection podcast, she shares how all of her success and her platform is a gift from God, out of his mercy and kindness. Every chance she can, she uses her success and her platform to point others back to Christ, to show them his love and mercy, and to bring them the good news that offers hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She shares how important her relationship with the Word of God is in her life and how everything comes back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/learn\/bible-101\/bible-study-tips\/spiritual-habits-bible-reading\/\">spending time in Scripture<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then CeCe shares stories about how her ministry and her music, through the grace of God, have impacted and helped people in tough situations. She talks about how important it is to rest in the knowledge of who God is, as taught in the Bible, when you\u2019re going through hard times. She talks about her new single and other upcoming projects that celebrate finding joy in the message of the gospel in the midst of a chaotic world. That joy comes from knowing God and being secure with trusting in Him and how important it is to encourage and teach the next generation in that faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2012, CeCe and her husband launched Nashville Life Church. She tells the story of how her son\u2019s experience in Australia led to the foundation of the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-excerpts-from-this-podcast\">Excerpts from This Podcast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4:41<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cI\u2019ve always understood that every platform God has given me was not for me, but it was for him. So when you get the chance to speak to so many people at one time, I want to make sure that the glory goes to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6:19<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cI believe in Jesus Christ and I\u2019m not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. And I know that the message I bring always brings hope. It always uplifts people. What a privilege it is to sing the good news, because people need it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11:00 <\/strong>\u2014 \u201cWhen we go out on stage, people have not come to see us. They\u2019ve come to see Jesus. It\u2019s not about us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11:50<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cAs believers, that\u2019s what we do. We believe. We believe in the Word of God \u2013 this is our foundation, this is our manual on how to live, how to go through dark times, how to stand when things are not going your way and how to trust God\u2019s character. And that\u2019s what the Bible does, it teaches you who God is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>16:20 <\/strong>\u2014 \u201cLooking out, listening to the news, seeing what\u2019s happening in everybody\u2019s life, different circumstances \u2013 you\u2019re not going to find joy there. During these times, there\u2019s only one place you will find joy. And that is in the Word of God. That is in Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:00 <\/strong>\u2014 \u201cI have a responsibility, and I feel the urgency, to make sure my daughter and my grandson, and not just them, but all of my spiritual daughters, that next generation, that I\u2019m passing something on to them, this faith. So that when I\u2019m gone, they\u2019re strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>24:50<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cThe Bible is the most exciting book you could ever read.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2<strong>6:04<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cInvite the Holy Spirit before you read. \u2018Holy Spirit, I\u2019m about to read, give me an appetite for the Word. Give me an understanding of the Word.\u2019 Because it makes a difference when you open up the Bible and begin to study that the Holy Spirit is there to help you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-featured-scripture\">Featured Scripture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In His presence is fullness of joy.<br>\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm+16%3A11&amp;version=NKJV&amp;utm_source=bg&amp;utm_medium=bglearn&amp;utm_campaign=bcp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Psalm 16:11<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seed of the righteous shall be delivered.<br>\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Proverbs+11%3A21&amp;version=NKJV&amp;utm_source=bg&amp;utm_medium=bglearn&amp;utm_campaign=bcp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Proverbs 11:21<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-episode-links\">Episode Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Hear the new song <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DQ2vBAw_1uY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>I\u2019ve Got Joy<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLuHH5jvsGxjlbFfmVPzzSqVh5L-BYobGv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Generations Video Series<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.compassionlive.com\/event\/generations-live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Generations Live Conference<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillelifechurch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nashville Life Church<\/a> website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/cecewinans.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CeCe Winans&#8217;
