Thinking Well

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." 🪶Hammer and Quill Publications 🌐 Website: https://publications.lakeworthbaptist.org/ ✉️ Email us: [email protected] 📲 Follow us on social media: Hammer and Quill Publications 🎧 Check out our other podcasts: 💡Well-Lit Path Podcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/well-lit-path/id1684126681 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hYGfMdmYJWMrX60i2rVr3?si=51ad344bf59e4d5d 📖 From the Book Podcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-book/id1734239812 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0nknCsVYK6c6mDRBiV1A30?si=94a7e36a27784843 In the Fort Worth area?

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."

Sensitive Content Warning ⚠️ A life fixed upon worldly promise spiraled a believer into a darkness that nearly cost him everything. Yet, from the ashes of what evil destroyed came a believer’s journey of repentance, restoration, redirection, and relentless grace. In this installment of Meet the Members, Kyle sits down with Nick Dykan, Ministry Intern of the Lake Worth Baptist Church, and co-host to the Thinking Well Podcast, to share Nick’s personal testimony of faith and how his story is proof that God’s provision is always at work.

Prayer is an essential component to the Christian life, but why is it exactly? How should we approach it as believers? Does prayer actually do anything? Why is it so important that believers pray everyday? In this episode of Thinking Well, Kyle and Nick sit down to discuss this important subject and how believers and and should implement it more in their lives.  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (KJV), "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

It held the Ten Commandments, it cursed and killed men who were careless with it, then disappeared without a trace. What was the Ark of the Covenant, and where is it now? In this episode of the Thinking Well Podcast, Nick and Kyle explore one of Scripture’s greatest mysteries.

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.” Episode References: 🎧 Ep.6 - Meet the Members | Ryan Reeves [Part 1] Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-well-podcast/id1684271796?i=1000616335696 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3qXAgIkfoLWIYogqUUO1RU?si=P0LhVM0gR4ymunX6jH1kjA 🎧 Ep.7 - Meet the Members | Ryan Reeves [Part 2] Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-well-podcast/id1684271796?i=1000617324149 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6aUqnyadi9F87bktNCsPtg?si=altLl3mFRxeXrAaDeMxH6g 🎧 Ep.0 - Thinking Well | Introductions  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-well-podcast/id1684271796?i=1000610426693 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/50RRFAKRvoeO3fS7WNwQJq?si=Rw-YL6-oSA-fk6K57CfDBQ 🎧 Ep.8 - Church Camp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-well-podcast/id1684271796?i=1000618863446 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/43AgJOkCH8vuqaOEp7ZgEk?si=7YgNNAuiRGSfK4Lxj9tsrw 🪶Hammer and Quill Publications 🌐 Website: https://publications.lakeworthbaptist.org/ ✉️ Email us: [email protected] 📲 Follow us on social media: Hammer and Quill Publications 🎧 Check out our other podcasts: 💡Well-Lit Path Podcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/well-lit-path/id1684126681 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hYGfMdmYJWMrX60i2rVr3?si=51ad344bf59e4d5d 📖 From the Book Podcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-book/id1734239812 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0nknCsVYK6c6mDRBiV1A30?si=94a7e36a27784843 In the Fort Worth area?

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."

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."

Is God evil? With all the suffering in the world many would say so. But is God truly responsible for the evil of this world? If not, then who is? If God is not evil, how is He good?

As we gather with family, exchange gifts, and celebrate the season, we're drawn back to the greatest gift ever given: Jesus, the Savior who came to redeem us and restore our relationship with God. May the wonder of His humble arrival fill your heart with eternal hope, peace, and joy this Christmas!

In 2024, a high school salutatorian stepped to the microphone at his graduation, and instead of the expected speech, he preached the gospel. The moment went viral across North Texas, and the story behind it is even more powerful than the video. In this episode, Kyle and Tom sit down with William Dunson, Salutatorian of Boswell High School's Class of 2024, to hear what led him to seize that moment, the spiritual darkness he witnessed in the halls of his school, and how God spent years quietly preparing a young man to deliver a message his classmates desperately needed to hear.

On this episode, Kyle and Tom conclude their time with Pete Madson and him sharing his testimony.  As we sat with Pete and listened to how God just continually showed up o his life, the recurring phrase we found to be was "But God...". We believe this resonates with most Christians who have been busy serving the Lord, we know it resonated with us. We had a plan... but God. We were expecting this... but God. We were defeated... but God. Two of the greatest pairings of words in the English language are without a doubt: But God. 

On this episode, Kyle and Tom sit down with another one of the members of the Lake Worth Baptist Church, Pete Madson, officer in the U.S. Navy, as he shared his personal testimony.  As we sat with Pete and listened to how God just continually showed up his life, the recurring phrase we found to be was "But God...".

On this episode, Kyle and Tom discuss the recent position reversal of the United Methodist Church. Should individuals identifying as members of the LGBTQ community be ordained to preach the gospel? Should they be received as church members? Is there a biblical rebuttal or affirmation of these positions? Have they gotten into the Communion wine over at the UMC? Or is this reversal of conviction the result of a gradual slip that started long ago? Let's have the conversation!

On this episode, Kyle and Tom sit down with Andrew Coats to discuss the recent rulings in the state of Alabama concerning embryos created via IVF. IVF is a process that has allowed many couples desiring to be parents to fulfill that desire. The technology and science behind it is spectacular. So the question is: Are we approaching it with the right care? Are we taking it as seriously as it deserves with the right regards to responsibility and accountability? Let’s have the discussion. 

Sensitive Content Warning ⚠️ Protecting Life with Love and Compassion On this episode, Kyle and Tom sit down with Ryan Reeves to discuss the topic of abortion and how we as Christians should approach this subject, specifically in regards to how we deal with those who have had abortions, those considering it, and why our society has normalized this atrocity. As Christians we believe that life begins at conception and that all life should be protected as an image bearer of God. But how can we approach these topics in love and with grace? How do we impact our neighborhood, our communities and be a beacon of hope and godly change that we really need in our culture? How can we show the love of Christ as we are presented with opportunity to defend - or even debate - what we perceive as a biblical truth? How do we share the gospel with those that are in need of forgiveness and reconciliation?

College is one of the most defining seasons of a young person's life, and for many Christians, it's where their faith is put to the ultimate test. Kyle and Tom bring in Lake Worth Baptist's own Gracie Dilling to talk about what it's really like to live out your faith in the college world. In this episode, they explore how parents can better prepare their kids, how students can build on the foundation they've been given, and how Christian young adults can stop just surviving campus life, and start thriving as salt and light in a place that desperately needs it.

On this episode, Kyle and Tom discuss the 2nd commandment - Thou shalt not make any graven image. Is this a repeat or furtherance of the first commandment? Is it a standalone? What does it mean? We have a habit of trying to fit God in a box of our own design, and in doing so we often make a "graven image" of what we think he's like. Tune in as we try to adjust our thinking on this topic.

We're bringing something special to the feed this week. Recorded live at the 2024 AMEN Conference at Fellowship Baptist Church in Liberal, KS, this episode features Pastor Kurt Skelly of Faith Baptist Church in Fredericksburg, VA, preaching through one of the most intimate moments in all of Scripture -Christ's prayer in the garden of Gethsemane from John 17. Though it was delivered at a men's conference, the truths Pastor Skelly draws out on prayer are for every believer at every stage of the journey.

In this episode, Kyle and Tom discuss the book "Tactics" written by Gregory Koukl. Apologetics aren't just about defending our views and beliefs, we need a plan, we need tactics. Gregory Koukl does a great job of presenting some valid options for how we can more effectively share Jesus with the people we meet and the people we know.

On this episode, Kyle and Tom discuss everyone's "favorite" biblical topic: lists. If all God's Word is given by inspiration and profitable, what are these list of genealogies for?

On this episode, Kyle and Tom sit down with Tyler Hirsch (Youth and Young Adults Pastor at Greenwood Baptist Church in Weatherford, TX) as he shares his personal testimony and how God has shaped him to be used in ministry. There are struggles in life. There are dark times. God is there in all situations. He works to his good. He has great plans and wants to use each and every one of us to his glory. He wants and deserves the glory in every valley and mountain top season.  It is on those mountaintops we celebrate his presence in every season of life, making the light of his favor that much more precious. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, TO HIM BE GLORY in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.(Ephesians 3:20-21)  

On this episode, Kyle and Tom are joined once again by Zac Hatton and Dan Coffman to discuss the meaning and importance of biblical stewardship. Stewardship means more than just being stewards of our finances, Christians are also called to be stewards of ALL God has given us. 

In our first new episode after the break, Kyle, Tom, and Brice ring in 2024 with a common topic: New Year's resolutions and goals. Should we make them? Are they effective? Can we utilize them to renew focus, refresh commitments to God and his service? Regardless of what 2023 may have looked like for us spiritually, we may have struggled, failed or grown exponentially. 2024 is a new year and God is still good, He still forgives, He still quickens, He still has plan for us, and He wants us to live a life in Him more abundantly.

This Christmas, Thinking Well co-host Tom Plemmons offers a special gift to our listeners, a heartfelt reading of the Christmas Story from Luke 2. Our prayer is that you and your loved ones experience a truly meaningful holiday filled with reflection on the birth of Jesus Christ. May we all be inspired by the boldness of the shepherds who couldn't help but share the good news of our Savior with everyone around them. Merry Christmas!

What's in a name? More than you might think. Kyle and Brice sit down with Lead Pastor Zac Hatton and Associate Pastor Dan Coffman to tackle an important question  — should we still hold onto the "Baptist" name, or let it go? Through this conversation, they dig into why denominational identity still matters, what gets lost when churches strip away their labels, and why calling yourself "just a church" might not be as neutral as it sounds. Ephesians 3:21 (KJV), “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."

Homeschooling, is it right for your family? Kyle, Tom, and Brice welcome some first-time guests: Mandi Herrera, Sarah Coats, and Erin Madson to tackle one of the most personal decisions Christian parents face. This episode isn't about pushing an agenda or declaring one approach superior, it's about something every parent can agree on: we are responsible for the discipleship of our children, and that looks different for every family. Whether God is leading you toward homeschooling or you're navigating public school with intention, this conversation will encourage and equip you to guard your children's hearts wherever that journey takes you. Deuteronomy 6:5-7a, "And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children," Hammer and Quill Publications Website: https://publications.lakeworthbaptist.org/ Email us: [email protected] Follow us on social media: Hammer and Quill Publications Check out our other podcasts: Well-Lit Path Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/well-lit-path/id1684126681 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hYGfMdmYJWMrX60i2rVr3?si=51ad344bf59e4d5d From the Book Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-book/id1734239812 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0nknCsVYK6c6mDRBiV1A30?si=94a7e36a27784843 In the Fort Worth area?

On this episode, Kyle and Tom sit down with Roger Smith, one of the Deacons of the Lake Worth Baptist Church, to  discuss his own personal testimony. Roger's testimony tells us two things: It's never too late to come to know the Savior, and service is the most efficient way to grow in your faith. Our lives can change for the better when Christ steps in.  

On this episode, Kyle, Tom, and Brice discuss Campus Churches. Do they fit in the Church template? Would the Apostle Peter have used the campus pattern at Jerusalem with over 15k members if he could have? Where do you land? More importantly, where does the Bible land?  

On this episode, Kyle, Tom, and Brice sit down with Pastor Zac Hatton and Ryan Reeves to discuss the current conflict in Israel and how it may or may not relate to Bible prophecy. TikTok and other forms of social media can be alluring and exciting, but they may not be the greatest source of biblical truth. We advise a deep discussion with your pastor or asking someone strongly rooted in biblical truth about where we fall in the scope of today's climate.

In this episode, Kyle, Tom and Brice sit down with Andrew Coats, one of the Deacons of the Lake Worth Baptist Church, as he shares his personal testimony.  God shows up in the tragedies in our lives as the Healer, sometimes not just of our body, but our spirit also. Sometimes our spirit in lieu of our body. When we allow our lives to be directed according to his will, you'd be amazed what he can do to make us fit for service where we were once broken. Though the path is not always direct, the peace found in his will is unmatched.

In the final episode of our "On Missions" series - Kyle, Tom, and Brice take a look at Acts 13 & 14 to pull out a biblical methodology for missions. Can missions be done this way today? Should missions be done this way today? 

Few things spark more debate in the Church than music and Kyle, Tom, and Brice are diving straight in. From secular vs. Christian music to whether it's okay to have a little of everything, they tackle the questions believers have been quietly wondering about for years. As a bonus? They get into dancing, what Scripture actually says, what David's example teaches us, and whether Jesus himself might have hit the dance floor.

On this episode, Kyle and Tom sit down with Pastor Zac Hatton and Deacon Andrew Coats to discuss the use of alcohol and tobacco as Christians. Should we indulge? If not, why not? Is either a sin by definition?  We round out the episode with a discussion on Christians and the owning of firearms - where you will find some heavy support, both from a biblical and an individual perspective.

In this episode, Kyle and Tom sit down with our Associate Pastor, Dan Coffman, to discuss outreach.  What are effective methods? What has worked in the past and what doesn't work anymore? You may be surprised how simple the answer is. "Go ye Therefore!"

In this third installment of our "On Missions" series, Kyle and Tom discuss some brief history on modern missions and then dive into today's call and the method of reading the necessary funds to follow the call responsibly. How does the call happen? What do Baptists do to fund missions? How much money is needed? Is the methodology sound?

In this episode, Kyle and Tom explore the vast reaches of the universe and the recent congressional hearings on the existence of aliens and the impact it may have on end times rhetoric. Is the stage being set for the great lie? What should a Christians stance be on extraterrestrial life?

Evolution has been treated as settled science for decades, but is it? Kyle and Tom sit down with Ryan Reeves to open their new Apologetics series by taking a hard look at the holes in evolutionary theory and the compelling case for Creation. From the fossil record to the complexity of life itself, they examine why more and more thinkers should question Darwinism, and why the Biblical account of Creation holds up under scrutiny.

Sensitive Content Warning ⚠️ From Addiction to the Altar Kyle and Tom sit down with Samuel Rodriguez, new church member, brother in Christ, and living proof of what grace can do. Samuel holds nothing back as he shares his journey through the grip of alcoholism and addiction, the wreckage it left behind, and the moment he found the only thing powerful enough to set him truly free. This isn't a story about willpower or self-improvement. It's a story about a man who ran out of options and found Christ waiting at the altar.

In the second episode of our "On Missions" series, Kyle and Tom discuss some of the things the missionary and his wife may never say and some of the struggles they may experience.

On this episode, Kyle and Tom sit down with Pastor Tim Plemmons as he concludes his personal testimony. This testimony tells of how even a pillar of the community, a pastor, can be fooled by the devil when it comes to salvation and it spotlights God's grace and mercy towards all of us in that salvation is free to all who will come. No matter what season in life, don't put it off, come to Him now.
