One of our favorite artists, Bebo Norman, recently released a song entitled “Britney” which I thought was worth posting on here.  Of the song, Bebo says “‘Britney’ is a song about what our culture says and does to young women these days. It’s about the lies we tell them about fame and money and what’s beautiful and what will give them life. It’s an apology for those lies. But more than that, it’s an invitation to the truth about a God who is bigger than the pain this world so often leaves them in.”

The song exclaims the tragedy that breaks my heart on a daily basis.  Maybe it’s such a core issue for me because I have a little sister that I want to see grow up with a focus on what’s really important and not our culture’s distorted perceptions of what makes you a woman.  But more than that, I think it’s such a big issue in my heart because it’s such a big issue.  Girls are growing up to believe there is no option but the lies of society.  That fleeting beauty and sex are somehow all they are worth.  It makes me sick to my stomach.  You can listen to Bebo’s song above, and check out his MySpace page by clicking here.  He has a new album coming out soon that is sure to be good…
