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.

Worship Conspiracy
Disciple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get me to believe what they found
They knock on my door saying Jesus is not the Lord
Pray to Buddha every day
Put us to shame in every way
Muslim fasting forty days
We can't lift our hands in praise
God deserves more than what we're giving Him
Bow to piece of wood
But it won't do them any good
Meditate on false light while we sit and watch the day go by
Observe all traditions while we sleep late on Easter morning
They fall on their face while we just abound in grace
Worthy (Revelations 4:11 - 5:12)
Every knee will bow tongue confess that Jesus is Lord (Ephesians 2:10 - 11)
Worthy every knee will bow tongue confess that Jesus is Lord
The lyrics of Disciple's song Worship Conspiracy showcase a struggle between faith and religious norms. The song highlights the hypocrisy of people who claim to be followers of Christ while comparing themselves to other religions. In the first few lines, the lyrics depict individuals who go around trying to convince others that Jesus is not the Lord. They are shown to be actively seeking to convert people to their own religion, which can make one question their own faith. However, this is contrasted by individuals who practice other religions such as Buddhism and Islam. These people are shown to have devoted themselves fully to their faith and to be surpassing Christians in their dedication to their beliefs.
The song implies that Christians are not doing enough to show their devotion to God. They are not deserving of God's grace as compared to people of other faiths who are shown to endure more hardships and actively partake in traditions. The lyrics further emphasize that God deserves more than the mere lip service that people offer him. It calls for Christians to recognize their shortcomings and strive to be worthy of God's love. The message of the song is to take ownership of one's faith and to hold oneself accountable for leading a life that is worthy of God's grace.
