Faith that’s never tested can’t be trusted. In this episode of Building Through Strength, I talk about the beauty and struggle of having battle tested faith—the kind of faith that doesn’t fold when life gets heavy, but grows stronger in the fire.

We’ll dig into what it means to fight through trials physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, how to prepare for storms before they hit, and how to trust God when you can’t see the victory yet.

If you’ve ever asked, “Why me?” or felt like God was silent in your hardest battles, this episode is for you.

Success is something we all crave—but how do we pursue it faithfully, without losing ourselves along the way? In today’s episode, we dive into the faithful power of wanting success and the steps it takes to truly get there. From discipline in the gym, to guarding your thoughts, to spiritual alignment with God’s will, success is built in every area of life: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

But what about when you already feel “successful”? We’ll also talk about how to stay grounded, avoid complacency, and use your platform to uplift others when you’ve reached milestones.

Description:
In this episode of Building Through Strength, we dive deep into Proverbs 18:2 — “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” Together, we’ll explore what it means to seek wisdom instead of noise, to listen before we speak, and to pursue understanding over pride.

We’ll look at cross-references like James 1:19 (“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry”) and Proverbs 12:15 (“The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice”) as reminders that real strength is built on humility, discernment, and the willingness to learn.

This is an episode about slowing down, rejecting complacency, and remembering that wisdom is less about having the last word and more about living with intention and truth.

Description:
Sometimes God’s silence feels like rejection — but often, it’s just a “Not yet.” In When God Says “Not Yet” — Finding Strength in the Wait, I open up about the seasons where the prayers you pray don’t get an immediate answer and how that doesn’t mean God has forgotten you.

We’ll break down why His timing rarely matches ours, what to do when life puts you in a “waiting room,” and how to keep faith alive when the promise feels far away. I’ll share biblical examples like Joseph and David, along with practical steps to stay strong in the delay.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overlooked, or frustrated, this episode will remind you that a “Not yet” from God is actually an invitation to prepare for what’s coming.

📖 Key verses:

• Ecclesiastes 3:1 — “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
• Habakkuk 2:3 — “Though it lingers, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.”
• Psalm 27:14 — “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

💡 Takeaways: Trust the process. Build in the delay. Hold on to hope.

In this solo episode of Building Through Strength, Kyle shares an honest breakdown of how he’s been intentionally training his upper chest — and how that discipline mirrors the spiritual work of targeting weak points in our lives. From the importance of mind-to-muscle connection in the gym to the necessity of staying grounded in scripture, this episode is a powerful reminder that real growth — physically and spiritually — requires deliberate focus.

Kyle reflects on how weakness can turn into strength with proper training, both under the bar and in the Word. He walks through key upper chest movements, talks mental discipline, and shares how 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Scripture references:

• 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
• Philippians 3:14 – “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Tap in for a deeper perspective on training your body, renewing your mind, and growing your faith — one rep and one prayer at a time.
