Becoming A Disciple of the Awesome Band Disciple

 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

I once met an awesome fellow Christian named Pat who told me to check out a band called Disciple.  So I finally decided to look them up on Youtube.  I thought that Third Day and MercyMe were amazing, and indeed, they are good.  However, Disciple is on a whole new level.  From the mournful song called "Things Left Unsaid" to a plea to stay alive called "Suicide" they have some intense and visceral lyrics which have reminded me what Christ is all about.  He not only died and came back from the grave to get us into heaven, but He also wishes to provide healing and comfort through His relationship with us.  Christians have to deal with tragedy and depression too and they need a way to express it and find healing.  If your church has issues with you expressing the pain and suffering in your life, then you need to leave and find a better one.  True believers are there for each other through the bad times as well as the good.
