Disciple was formed in 1992 by friends Kevin Young, Brad Noah, Tim Barrett, and Adrian DiTommasi (who would leave the band shortly after inception) in an attempt to spread the gospel while playing the loud, metallic music they loved. Over the years, their style evolved into one similar to many secular alternative metal groups, as they toured churches, high schools, colleges, and similar venues. Their self-released debut, What Was I Thinking, came out in 1995, followed by an EP, My Daddy Can Whip Your Daddy, on Warner Resound in 1997. Their sophomore full-length effort, This Might Sting a Little Bit, followed two years later on Rugged Records. By God followed in 2001 on the same label.
2003's Back Again found the band on a new label, their own independent Slain Records. That year, the trio became a quartet with the addition of bassist Joey Fife to their lineup. The group signed with INO Records the following year and released a self-titled LP in June of 2005. Scars Remain arrived on Integrity in late 2006. After years of nominations, the album won the band their first Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year.
In 2008, Noah and Fife stepped down from the band and their spots were filled by bassist Israel Beachy and guitarists Andrew Welch and Micah Sannan. Southern Hospitality arrived later that year. Before their next release, founding drummer Tim Barrett would also part ways with Disciple, replaced by Trent Reiff. Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Disciple's eighth LP, came out in April 2010. It topped the Christian chart and entered the Billboard Top 50. As the band's popularity grew, they embarked on a handful of tours with other top Christian acts like Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet.
2012 saw the release of O God Save Us All, as well as a flurry of lineup changes. After four years with Disciple, Welch left the band to join Thousand Foot Krutch, while Sannan and Beachy were replaced by Josiah Prince (Philmont) and Jason Wilkes (High Flight Society). By early 2013, Reiff exited and was replaced by Joey West. Andrew Stanton also joined the band, leaving Young as the only original member.
The refreshed quintet forged ahead with the crowdfunded release of 2014's Attack, which became their highest Billboard 200 entry to date, peaking at number 44. Produced by longtime Disciple producer Travis Wyrick, Attack also rose to the number two spots on the Hard Rock and Christian charts. It would be the first and last album with Wilkes on bass, who left the band the next year. Vultures, a six-song EP recorded during the Attack sessions, was released at the end of 2015. Another EP, Live in Denmark, arrived the following year, accompanied by a series of concert videos from Denmark's RiverFest.
The band -- now a quartet -- issued another crowdfunded effort in 2016. Their 11th album, Long Live the Rebels, debuted at number 125, making it the group's sixth Billboard 200 entry to date. After signing with the Tooth & Nail label at the end of 2018, Disciple released their 12th full-length, Love Letter Kill Shot, in September 2019.

I Just Know
Disciple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
why do you argue about who you follow
there is no man that you belong to
there's only one God that can claim you
I don't care if you don't speak in tongues
I don't care if you're into submersion
what does it matter if wear a liturgical robe or prophesy
I just know Jesus is the way
I just know Jesus is the truth
I just know Jesus is the life
I know that Jesus is my God
do you serve your name or do you serve mankind
would you feel the same if they took down your sign
could you sit next to me if I was Baptist or Presbyterian
or do I need to be a charismatic or Episcopalian
I don't care if you drink grape juice or if it's wine
and I don't care if you get out of church on time
what does it matter if you praise God with music in your church
or you burn your dead or bury them six feet in the dirt
I don't care if you clap your hands
I don't care if you get out in the aisle and dance
what's it matter if someone lets out a hallelujah shout
have we forgotten what praising Yahweh is all about
The song "I Just Know" by Disciple is a powerful reminder that no matter our religious beliefs or practices, there is only one God that claims us all. The lyrics question the reasons behind religious conflicts and encourage listeners to focus on the central message of Christianity, which is Jesus Christ.
The song questions why people argue about who they follow and what makes them different from one another. Ultimately, the lyrics emphasize the importance of serving God and not just our own ego or identity. The artist seeks to create a sense of unity within the Christian community while recognizing that people have different beliefs and practices.
The song's message is one of acceptance, tolerance, and a deep faith in Jesus Christ. By emphasizing that we all belong to the same God, Disciple encourages listeners to let go of their differences and embrace a more inclusive Christian community.
