'Dance with the Devil' by Brittany Bexton: Breaking Free from Destructive Cycles


Brittany Bexton's new song 'Dance with the Devil' is a powerful song that we believe you want to hear. Brittany, a Nashville singer/songwriter, digs deep into her own pain and the heartache that she sees in so many other people who are in abusive relationships. She knows how hard it is to watch loved ones suffer. She says, 'Kick that devil to the curb, you deserve so much better!' This song is her way of shouting out all of the things that she couldn't say before, and hopefully giving others the courage to break free from their own destructive cycles.

Brittany Bexton - Dance with the DevilThe message applies to a broader scope than abusive relationships. It also applies to any situation where you are controlled or pushed to do things against your will. E.g., situations where partners stop you from living your faith or limit you to becoming the best version of you. That is also a form of abuse!

The lyrics are powerful, especially when you realize where Brittany is coming from. She sings, 'You've been pulled through hell long enough, when someone chooses to hurt you, it isn't love,' and you can almost feel the weight lifting off your shoulders when you realize that you're not the only one that is going through this kind of situation. Brittany points out that it's not your job to fix whatever is already broken. When talking is getting you nowhere, then your best action is to find your worth and walk away from people that hurt you.

This line is really striking: 'You think if you spin around again, you'll make the devil dizzy and stop the sin.' In other words, you can't change people who won't see the truth. It's impossible to dance with the devil and not get hurt.

We suggest that you listen to 'Dance with the Devil.' When you realize that your dancing with the devil, may this song remind you that you're not alone and that you can get through it with God's help.

(Related scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13; Ephesians 6:13; James 4:7)

"Clothed With Dignity" by Grace Frances: Trading Shame for a New Identity

Your worth was never up for negotiation.  Grace Frances wrote “Clothed With Dignity” from a place most of us recognize (in some form or other) but will rarely admit out loud. She carried old regrets like a second skin, calling herself names that her past mistakes didn’t deserve. “I demonize the girl I was, when she was just trying to survive,” she sings, and that line hurts. Haven’t we all judged ourselves for choices that we made while simply trying to get through the day? Even choices that seemed to be fine in the moment, but proved to be otherwise over time.  Grace’s breakthrough didn't come from fixing herself, but from surrendering… surrendering to God. “You clothe me with dignity,” she declares, describing a moment where self-condemnation lost its grip and grace took over.  Grace’s story is fairly similar to the story found in Isaiah 61:10 —  “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; h...

"Just Believe" by For Him: When Doubt Isn't Disqualifying

Can you believe without having all the answers? Some people wait at the edge of faith for years, arms crossed, waiting to feel ready. “Just Believe” was written by For Him for exactly that person — the one who wants to trust Jesus but still carries a list of questions. The song grew out of that in-between space, where doubt and faith sit side-by-side and neither one of them wins outright. Gritty Southern-rock guitars carry lyrics that ask a two-thousand-year-old question: “Could Love have worn a human face?” The answer to that question brings purpose and comfort to our lives. The song doesn’t demand certainty before you move. It invites wonder instead. “You don’t have to shape your future // He begins where you can’t reach.” The message and intent of this song make it clear that you don’t need to figure out everything first before you can take a step toward God.  A man quoted in the gospel of Mark understood this tension better than most of us. Desperate for his son to be healed,...

"I've Got Joy" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Why Joy Isn't the Same as Happiness

Sorrow and joy can share the same room. “I’ve Got Joy” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was triggered by a telephone call. Tyler reconnected with an old friend who’d been going through a period of loneliness. Tyler shares: “We talked at length about the season of loneliness he was experiencing, and we discussed a few other topics that are reflected in the verses.” This triggered Tyler to tackle this concept of having Joy, and it became clear that “I’ve Got Joy” isn’t the same as “I’ve Got Happiness” . Joy is more than happiness, and it certainly isn’t a painted-on smile. Tyler makes that distinction on purpose, because he’s writing about the nights he spent “down to my last prayer,” and about sitting “in a room full of people” while feeling completely invisible. He’s writing about all of the kneeling and “begging for the answer to a question I can’t speak.” That’s real, and that’s most of us, on our worst weeks. The chorus takes us back to “joy”. Tyler sings: “I’ve got joy in my lungs, ye...
