After a three-year departure, former Audio Adrenaline lead singer Mark Stuart and bassist Will McGinniss return to the music scene with the Know Hope Collective, a ground-breaking initiative that combines their favorite emerging voices of worship music with stories of hope and inspiration.
Stuart says the Know Hope Collective grew out their own cathartic experience of sharing life stories with friends and church members.
“We’d meet at Will’s horse farm around a campfire and talk vulnerably with each other about our successes as well as hardships,” he says. “It was a time of healing and redemption as we discovered the evidence of God’s hand in our lives like never before and the importance of telling one’s story.”

McGinniss and Stuart’s pastor urged them to take their story-telling on the road, creating an intimate and hope-filled night of music, testimony and worship with friends.
You may remember that Stuart has been serving at the Hands & Feet Orphanage in Haiti, and was a public voice in mainstream media after the earthquake the devastated Haiti this past January.
The Know Hope Collective will be an ever-changing group of musicians from a variety of backgrounds who come together to create worship music and share their unique experiences and testimonies.
The Collective’s first album, Know Hope, is an intimate pairing of songs and spoken word that plumbs the depths of McGinniss and Stuart’s chart-topping heyday and post-band revelations.
“This first project was birthed out of the failure I went through being a singer who lost his voice,” Stuart says. “But the next one might be on missional living, orphan care or clean water, whatever God is leading us to.”
