If you feel too broken to be used by God, the best-selling female gospel artist of all time, CeCe Winans, says you’re wrong.

“We all have been broken,” she says. “We all have felt as if our brokenness disqualified us in some type of way.”

However, Winans, 53, believes “God uses our brokenness.”

Her uplifting message to those who feel their flaws automatically exclude them from being a vessel for good came as part of a recorded endorsement for the faith-based film, Beautifully Broken, releasing theatrically Aug. 24.

It chronicles a refugee’s escape, a prisoner’s promise, and a daughter’s painful secret that all blend to create a powerful story of hope.

Winans also sings “Beautifully Broken,” the title cut from the movie soundtrack.

In the film, set to play in 600 theatres, three fathers in various situations fight to save their families when God divinely orchestrates the intertwining of their lives across the globe. Each learns the healing power of forgiveness and reconciliation.
