Winans also talked about his role in the TV show “Mind Your Business,” where he plays a character named Henry. Initially hesitant about acting, Winans was encouraged by Denzel Washington, who told him he had acting chops. “I used to believe in staying in my lane as a singer,” Winans said. “But years ago, Denzel Washington told me I had acting chops and should give it a try. So, I stepped into this role and am having a great time.”

Winans also announced that his production “Born for This” is set to debut on Broadway next spring. “It’s all about having faith and patience,” he said. “We’re very excited about it.”

He shared insights into his health journey, revealing that he now runs eight miles a day. “If you had told me years ago that I’d be running eight miles a day, I wouldn’t have believed it. But I’ve realized the importance of health, especially to do what God has called me to do.”

Winans provided an update on his family, sharing that his mother is doing well but is tired of driving, so they are arranging car service for her. “Everyone is healthy and doing great,” he said.
