Add Flexslider to front page in Genesis. Not fully tested but should work, you will need to style it. Add head scripts to the same page template.

front-page.php

<?php

/* Add slider
------------------------------------------------------------ */

add_action('genesis_after_header', 'jm_home_slider');
function jm_home_slider() {


  echo '<div id="featured-slider">';
  echo '<div class="flexslider">';
  echo '<ul class="slides">';
  			
				
		$args = array(
       'post_type' => 'slide',
			 'order' => 'DESC',
	  );
			
	    $tips = new WP_Query( $args );
	if( $tips->have_posts() ):
		
		while ( $tips->have_posts() ) : $tips->the_post();
		
					$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' );
				  echo '<li class="slide';
					echo '" style="background:center top url('.$image[0].'); background-size: cover; height:'. $image[2].'px;"';
					echo '>';
				  echo '<div class="flex-caption"><div class="wrap">'. apply_filters('the_content',get_the_content()) .'</div></div>';
					
     endwhile;
		
	   endif;
	   wp_reset_postdata();
				
				
  echo '</ul>';
	echo '</div>';
	echo '</div>';
