Tell us what you are trying to do?
I've created custom fields and a custom view for the homepage/blog archive. The site is using Genesis and the Education Pro child theme. For this theme the homepage requires that the reading settings be latest posts. As such, the blog archive view only shows on the homepage & via the pagination on the homepage. If we click to the blog page which is set to the Genesis blog page template it does not display the view that was created for the archive. How can I fix this?
Is there any documentation that you are following? no
Is there a similar example that we can see? sandbox.flippedlifestyle.com/blog (shows incorrectly) vs sandbox.flippedlifestyle.com shows the blog post correctly.
What is the link to your site? sandbox.flippedlifestlye.com

If I understand you correctly, you have created a custom blog archive with Views (or possibly Layouts). It is assigned to the blog/archive and you want it to display at the URL flippedlifestyle.com/blog.
But your theme requires that your reading settings have the recent posts (i.e. the blog) on the homepage.
I take it that flippedlifestyle.com/blog is a static WordPress page.
As an archive is a built-in WordPress concept that matches URLs to lists of content, you cannot assign a custom archive to a static page, if you assign it to the blog archive then it will appear at the blog URL, which because of your settings is the homepage, not the static /blog page.
You can simply create an ordinary View (that matches the settings and output of the custom archive) and insert that View directly on the /blog page. It will "look" like a blog archive, but will be a custom query created by Views on a standard page.
Does that make sense? Did I understand your question correctly?
