'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)

"Hard Times" by Matt Rees: Finding Faithful Ground When Life Comes Apart

Hard times have a way of stripping everything back. Matt Rees knows this well — and "Hard Times" was came out of one of those seasons. The Michigan-based singer-songwriter has spent years writing music that builds up the church and glorifies God, and this song carries that same honest, unpolished faith. What makes it remarkable is the posture Rees takes. Rather than crying out from the pain, he's thanking God for it. "I thank You for the hard times // when You test what's in the depths of my heart." That's not wishful thinking… That's hard-won conviction coming from the slow & dark times, and the confusing times when everything comes apart at the seams. Rees names them all, and then he names what happens next: God shows up! The chorus wraps it together…. "This life ain't always easy // but You're always faithful and true." Simple, true, and more important…. it's enough! Because when you've lived through the kind of sea...

"When I Saw The Light" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Folk, Grace, and the Moment Everything Changes

“When I Saw The Light” captures something painfully familiar — the trap that routine can bring. Tyler Philip Ratcliffe wrote this folk anthem as a follow-up to “This Little Light of Mine,” drawing on his bluegrass roots and the spirit of Bill Monroe’s classic to tell a story many will recognize in themselves. The verses don’t sugarcoat it. “Same faces, same mistakes, same places // Promise that I change it all tomorrow”  — the trap we need to be aware of… The routine masquerading as life. But Ratcliffe doesn’t leave the listener there. The chorus lifts everything: “I traded fake for something honest // Finally doing something right.” That’s the turning point! What makes this song land is its honesty about the moment before a breakthrough. When numbness sets in, when you’ve exhausted every other option — that’s when the light (His light) breaks through. Ratcliffe captures the surprise of grace: “I wasn’t looking for religion // Wasn’t searching for the truth.” Nobody ever is. And ye...

"Psalm 10 (Do You See)" by Red Letter Society: Honest Faith, Bold Trust, and the Hope of God's Reign

Injustice is hard to sit with. When evil goes unchecked, and the vulnerable are overlooked, even the most faithful hearts may be wrestling with silence from heaven. Red Letter Society's "Psalm 10 (Do You See)" is about that struggle. This song is part of the band's ongoing psalm project and gives the church honest language for prayer. Instead of wrapping pain in comfortable platitudes, it voices the raw cry found in Psalm 10: "Why, O Lord, do You stand so far? Why hide Yourself so I can't see?" That's not a crisis of someone's faith; it's faith being real, and there is a big difference between the two. Featuring Jordan West, the lyrics move through the frustration and toward a confession. In the chorus, you'll hear the weight shifting: "To You the helpless commits himself, in You the orphan finds their help." This is trust that is forged under pressure. In the bridge of the song, you'll hear the resolution, a resolution th...
