The Thinking Well Journey
Thinking Well Podcast launched on April 24th, 2023, with Tom Plemmons and Kyle Reeves of Lake Worth Baptist Church at the helm. Over the course of two years, the two led each episode with a shared purpose: to strengthen the faith of believers and to invite unbelievers to seriously consider the claims of Christ. Throughout that time, they sat down with pastors, church members, and special guests who shared their testimonies of faith and offered thoughtful perspectives on apologetics, doctrine, and current events. In 2025, however, the podcast entered a year-long hiatus as Tom and Kyle turned their focus toward other areas of ministry within the church.
In the spring of 2026, Lake Worth Baptist Church relaunched its publications ministry under a new name, "Hammer and Quill Publications." Around the same time, ministry intern Nick Dykan brought a proposal to Kyle, Tom, and the pastors of LWBC (Zac Hatton and Dan Coffman) to revive Thinking Well in time to coincide with the "Hammer and Quill" unveiling. After several months of preparation, Thinking Well made its return in March of 2026, with Kyle Reeves back as host and Nick Dykan stepping in alongside him as co-host.
Since reuniting, Kyle and Nick have carried on the podcast's original mission: pointing unbelievers toward Christ while encouraging and equipping the Christian believer. At its core, Thinking Well remains as a podcast that challenges its listeners to think biblically and to discover how God's Word speaks with clarity and relevance to the world we live in today.
Senior Host | Kyle Reeves
Kyle Reeves, senior host of the Thinking Well Podcast, was born in 1995 and came to faith in Christ at the age of nine, placing his trust in Him as Lord and Savior before being baptized at Victory Baptist Church in Casa Grande, Arizona. In 2004, Kyle and his family relocated to the DFW area, where he soon joined Lake Worth Baptist Church alongside his parents, a church he has now called home for over two decades.
In his years at LWBC, Kyle has served faithfully in a number of capacities: as a drummer on the Lake Worth Worship Team, as a member of the church's security team, and most recently, in answering God's call to preach. Kyle has been married to his wife, Haley, since September 2020, and together they are raising three daughters: Addison, Amelia, and April.
Junior Host | Nick Dykan
Nick Dykan, junior host of the Thinking Well Podcast, was born in 1999 and came to faith in Christ at the age of twelve, being baptized shortly after and joining Lake Worth Baptist Church, a church he has now called home for nearly fifteen years.
Over the course of his time at LWBC, Nick has invested himself in a wide range of ministries. He played a key role in building the church's media team, served behind the scenes in support of Lake Worth Worship, and since 2018, has devoted himself to taking part in the church's youth department as one of the youth ministers. In 2019, Nick surrendered to the call to preach, and has since been pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Bible Specialization at Veritas Baptist College. In November of 2021, Nick married his wife, Krystal, and the two have continued to serve the Lord faithfully together ever since.

In this episode of the Thinking Well Podcast, Kyle and Nick sit down with Travis Gilbert, Lead Pastor of Rodgers Baptist Church in Garland, TX, at Timberline Baptist Camp to discuss his personal testimony of faith and his heart for Baptist missions.
Philippians 3:12-14 (KJV), "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

On this next episode, Nick and Kyle will sit down with Dr. Jerry Locke as he discusses his personal testimony of faith and how God has used him throughout his life in the ministry of the gospel.
Philippians 2:9-11 (KJV),
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Anxiety is one of the most common struggles facing people today, but what does the Bible actually have to say about it? Scripture doesn't sidestep the reality of worry and fear, but it doesn't leave us there either. In this episode of the Thinking Well Podcast, Kyle and Nick sit down to discuss a biblical approach to the issue of anxiety: what it is, where it comes from, and how Scripture calls us to overcome it.
Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV), "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Kyle and Nick sit down with guest Ryan Reeves to continue their journey through end time prophecy. In this second episode of the "End Times" series, the trio explore the event of the rapture and what it means for both believers and unbelievers today.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV), “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
