Ryan Swanson introduces The Cord 2.0, highlighting two big additions—Check‑In Streaks (consistency‑focused medals) and bi‑weekly 3‑minute devotional challenges—and explains why accountability tools are meant to lead us to Jesus, not replace Him as the answer. He also unpacks motivations (relationships, ministry, family) and shows how these secondary motives should funnel us back to Christ as the true source of purity and victory. You’ll also hear a refresher on The Cord’s core features like daily 1–10 check‑ins, 90‑second video reflections, and the SOS button rooted in Ecclesiastes 4:10 (never alone).

• Why The Cord exists: daily light and never‑alone accountability (Ecc. 4)
• How daily 1–10 check‑ins + 90‑sec videos keep it sustainable
• SOS button: instant “I’m not alone” signaling during temptation
• The Cord 2.0 Feature #1 – Check‑In Streaks (consistency over “purity streaks,” with medals at 7/30/100 days and beyond)
• The Cord 2.0 Feature #2 – Bi‑weekly 3‑minute devotional challenges (trusted preachers; keeps groups Christ‑focused)
• Motivation vs. the Answer: letting strong motives lead you to Jesus, not replace Him

• Accountability is a means, not the end; Jesus is both the end and the means of purity.
• The Cord 2.0’s Check‑In Streaks reward consistency, closing the “skip‑a‑bad‑day” loophole and keeping daily light on your heart.
• Short, bi‑weekly devotionals inject life and keep the focus on Christ so groups don’t drift into a “dry confessional booth.”
• The SOS button helps you refuse isolation: you’re known, prayed for, and expected to give account—tonight.

In this stirring message, evangelist Bob Holmes reminds us of the limitless power of God. Drawing from Hebrews 11 and stories of faith, he illustrates how the Creator who spoke the world into existence can do anything, anywhere, at any time. Through personal testimonies and biblical examples, this episode calls listeners to renewed faith, trust, and courage in the God who still works miracles today.

• The nature of faith from Hebrews 11
• God’s power as Creator compared to man’s inventions
• Testimonies of God’s providence in ministry and daily life
• How faith emboldens us to face trials like David, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
• Encouragement to trust God rather than worry
• The reality that God can work in any circumstance—palaces, prisons, deserts, hospitals, or even the belly of a fish
• Practical stories of answered prayer and miraculous provision

• Faith pleases God: Without faith, it is impossible to please Him.
• God is unlimited: He is not bound by time, place, or circumstance.
• Worry denies His power: Trust replaces fear when we remember who God is.
• God still works today: Just as in Scripture, He answers prayer, provides, and shows His power in unexpected ways.
• Our role is trust and obedience: We can follow Him confidently, knowing He is already ahead of us.

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gilmore sits down with BCM senior Ben Stoeckmann to reflect on his seven-week internship in Grenada. From curvy mountain roads to palm-lined beaches, Ben’s journey was filled with gospel opportunities—three Cola Clash–style youth outreaches, preaching in multiple communities, and connecting with local believers. Yet, the greatest lesson came not from the events themselves, but from what followed: the urgent need to pray for and invest in disciples, not just decisions. Through firsthand experiences and the example of national pastor Jeremy Scott, Ben shares how intentional, life-on-life ministry can break strongholds and multiply lasting fruit.

• Location, culture, and spiritual climate of Grenada
• Internship under national pastor Jeremy Scott
• Three Cola Clash–style youth outreaches in Victoria, Chantimelle, and Mount Rich
• Overcoming challenges of rainy season and cultural differences
• Spiritual strongholds: works-based religion, drinking, immorality, and subtle animism
• Miraculous connections with young men hungry for God’s Word
• The importance of praying for disciples as fervently as for salvation decisions
• Pastor Scott’s “life-on-life” discipleship model
• Applying disciplemaking principles both overseas and in the U.S.
• Ben’s personal call to missions and growing burden for the Hispanic world

• Salvation decisions are only the starting point; true Great Commission work requires making disciples.
• Prayer for discipleship should be just as urgent and intentional as prayer for conversions.
• Life-on-life investment—sharing ministry and everyday moments—is essential for spiritual growth.
• Cultural openness to the gospel does not eliminate the need to address deep-rooted spiritual strongholds.
• The principles of effective disciplemaking overseas are just as vital to practice at home.
