i think we should all type up our testomines (of that is spelled right)(somebody correct it )
and how disciple has helped them grow or if you were saved at a disciple concert

I have gone to church my whole life. But I really wasn't into deep worship or becoming closer to God, and I really didn't have any music taste. Then in 2004 my brother was hosting a concert that featured Disciple. First of all I was surprised at their appearance with the long hair and tattoos, but I've never seen anyone praise the Lord the way they did. They played 103 and Before You which are like heavy metal worship. It changed my life, got me into Christian rock music, and by having their influence I have become much closer to God and have been blessed greatly.

Thank you Jesus for giving us Disciple.

SOMEone in my family put the Southern Hospitality c.d. on my MP3 player when I was avoiding it most. LOVE the music. HATE the conviction at the time. One early morning "Falling Star" slapped me awake and I been recovering with the c.d. ever since. I declare I need to get the older song "Back Again" implanted into my brain w/ accompanying Scriptures whenever my mind wanders (and it DO wander a lot)! The title track "Southern Hospitality" gives me a fun kick-in-the-pants for the day and "Phoenix Rising" has been makin horse practice a lot more fun when played loudly in the MP3 ears! Shaved a generous second off the speedbarrels this practice season! I could go on about the other selections on the other albums, but that could make this post waaaayyy too long! God always chases me down with the blessed music when I get too far outta the Word. Wish I wouldn't do that, but I'm truly grateful for the music that's used...

hey make the post as long and meaningfull and personal as you want to!

I grew up in a family where they went to church but wernt really christians. After some very serious health scares with my father both my parents stopped going to church all together thinking "if there was a god this stuff wouldnt have happened to me" so of course i stopped going to church because i was taught the world was bad and there was no god but i always felt diff. Years later i was going through some VERY serious depression, self harm, and almost suicide. I had a huge falling out with the closest friend i had ever had to that point and hit rock bottom. Just this last summer(early fall?) my amazing friend took me to my first concert (flyleaf) and on the way back we had a huge talk about hristianity and how not every religion was like catholasism(sp?) and she played disciples suicide for me in the car. Ever since that day i would pray and such but still hadnt accepted christ because i didnt know how? But of course god led me to a Tom Stamman Meeting (he is a prophet/ humanitarian) and thats where i accepted christ into my heart and changed my ways from partying, lying, dis-obeying, and just hating. Disciples songs feel like they are parts of my life being sung back to me(or where i want to be someday in my faith) and kevins sermons leave me speachless and with lots of things to think about and pray about. they really have took me from just a person who goes to church to an honest christian and that is HUGE for me because "sitting in a church doesnt make you a christian just like standing in a garage doesnt make you a car" i am SOOO blessed to have the friend that introduced me to god and his music and of course amazing bands like Disciple.

thanks
ps is it alright if i share them with some people

its fine with me i always like hearing peoples testimonies so feel free

just recently saw Disciple for the 3rd time and well i never was hugely impacted by them before...aside from the usual music-helping-me-get-through-the-day kind of thing but well, the show i went to really changed me and i wasn't even expecting it. i was like ok yea i'll go see them live, rock out real good, take some sweet photos and maybe get to say hi to the band members. but it was...much more than that.

i finally understand and accept grace. which, as simple as that sounds is really really hard for me. to completely forget my past and live as though i was brand new... scars didn't matter... the way i always numbed things out to alcohol and stuff didn't matter...doesn't matter. it was really huge for me.

...huge barrier walls that i'd put up came crashing down and i was super vulnerable and kevin wasn't even 1/3 of the way done speaking yet. i've also discovered this huge passion for loving Jesus like nothing before...i'm not following rules because i know it's "right" i'm doing it because i love Him & don't want to hurt Him.

this is only a small fraction of what happened that night but i really wanted to share this because we will overcome by the blood of the Lamb & the word of our testimony =) also, in case the guys ever get on here & read this. be encouraged because even though you might be super exhausted, it's not in vain. not even close. ♥

Encouraged.... Thanks
