Our Goal is Thinking Biblically

The mission of Thinking Well Podcast is to glorify God by engaging life's hardest questions with clarity and conviction. Each episode explores current events, Christian apologetics, church doctrine, even personal testimonies, all while remaining anchored in Scripture and being shaped by a biblical worldview.

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.

Sensitive Content Warning ⚠️
What do you do when someone who knows the Lord ends up losing their way? In this episode, Kyle Reeves gets honest with co-host Nick Dykan about his journey that started with salvation, detoured through ungodly influences and a prodigal season, and led him back to become the devoted servant, husband, father, and aspiring preacher of the Word he is today. His testimony is a powerful reminder that God never stops pursuing His own.
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 (KJV), “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Ep.50 - Apologetics | Who is Jesus?

Apr 24, 2026

1 hr 4 min

We live in an age of a Jesus identity crisis. Christians are divided about who Jesus is. Catholics preach one view of Jesus. Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses preach their own view of Jesus. Even Muslims have come to a different conclusion about who Jesus is. Everyone has a version, but there is only one you believe in that matters eternally.
Using the Bible to identify the real Jesus, Kyle and Nick sit down once again with Dan Coffman, Associate Pastor of Lake Worth Baptist Church, to answer apologetics' most essential question: "Who is Jesus?"
Mark 8:29 (KJV), "And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ."
Romans 10:9-10,13 (KJV),"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

EP.49 - Apologetics | Astrology v. Astronomy

Apr 17, 2026

1 hr 1 min

NASA recently made history by launching four astronauts on a journey around the moon, the first mission of its kind since the Apollo era, more than 50 years ago. In this episode, Kyle and Nick take that milestone as a launching point to explore space from a biblical perspective. What's the difference between astronomy and astrology? How should Christians think about, and engage with each? And is it something believers should explore at all?
Colossians 1:16-17 (KJV), "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."
