Kyle continues the Faith Fuel series with part 3 entitled "Fuel for Thought". On this episode, he discusses how faith fuels your ability to think creatively, tapping into your "creative imagination" as coined by Napolean Hill, as well as to think confidently in who you were made to be and your ability to complete the tasks you've been assigned. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is  teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. - Romans 12:4-8 Generation Giants Podcast is a personal development podcast for teens and young adults with a vision of seeing the next generation be more than they ever thought capable and do more than they ever thought possible.

Kyle begins Part 1 of a series called "F41TH FU3L". In this episode, he discusses how faith alone does not necessarily guarentee you will get to a finish line, but rather it fuels you to do what you need to do to get to the finish line. No matter how young or old you are, the faith and belief that you can get through the pain and struggle is the foundation for success. We must continuously build our faith and live off of this faith just like we live off of food. And at least for the apostle Paul in the book of Phillipians, faith in God can help us bear and endure anything that comes our way.
