Who is Phobonix?
Phobonix is a Christian-Goth family-owned small business, that brings our darkest fears to light to show that through Jesus Christ we can overcome out fears! Phobonix started in October 2021. My biggest dream was to always help people, growing up I was always the one people would come to for advice and support. As I grew up, I was the one that always helped people, however I usually fought my own fears and anxieties on my own. My whole life it has always been me and God. And he has protected me from so much. However, that’s not to say each battle I faced in life didn't leave me with a few scares. I have GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) C-PTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and D.I.D (Dissociative Identity Disorder) Although I have my good and bad days with these disorders I know how to feels to live in fear, to fight your anxieties alone, and how easy it can overtake you. I thank the Lord every day that the days I couldn't fight, He took the fight for me. I wouldn't be here today without Him.
What was meant for evil God uses for His glory. I use my mental disorders to help people who are like me. Because I can show them that God can help them like He's helped me. You DO NOT need to fight your mind alone. But that got me thinking not everyone has GAD or DID...how can I share what I know and help people who don't have the disorders that I do? Then I learned that phobias are a form of anxiety disorder. And that’s when I knew, this is how I could help. Everyone has some kind of phobia. And in the world we live in today, everyone is feeling more fearful than ever.... People today need comfort...people today need help.... they need to know they're not alone. They're not alone because not only do we all share similar phobias, but God is right there with us as well, we just have to trust in him.
Phobonix (Which is a play on the word phobia) started off as a press on nail company and turned into press on nails, apparel and other things, I wanted there to be a product for everyone, I believe EVERYONE should have access to God's word. and if my products give people encouragement, I wanted to make sure I had a product for everyone! WE are constantly growing with one goal in mind. To spread the love of Christ, to give those that need it encouragement & to spread awareness & understanding about mental health.
Phobonix is more than just a company, it's a mission.
We live in a world that is so divided. But there is one thing we all have in common and that is fear....
We live in a world that is so divided. But there is one thing we all have in common and that is fear....
We are a Christian-goth small business that brings your fears to light, to show that through Jesus Christ we can overcome our fears.
Why? Because we live in a world where we are afraid of a lot of things. We’re afraid for our children, we're afraid of how other people will react if we say the wrong thing, we’re afraid for our future....But no one talks about it. We all keep it buried inside hoping that it goes away but it never does. We try to handle our fear ourselves, but we can’t, and our fear turns into crippling anxiety, depression and it gets worse and worse until it consumes you.... now you're controlled by it.
Fear is something that the devil uses to weaken you. When we are afraid in our lives it’s easier to come across demonic activity. Because you’re so focused on what you're scared about you don't even see the demon's sitting on your shoulder, whispering in your ear. Making your simple fright turn into a full blown panic attack. Demons use this to hurt you mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
This goes back to ignore the fear, keeping it inside, Demons want us to ignore them. When we ignore them they are free to do their job (whatever that is) fear works the same way...when we ignore it...it's free to fester...
But when we bring our fears to light, we expose them! We shine a light and stop it in its tracks. Like a deer who stops when a bright light is shined on it. Fear stops when it’s exposed. Which means, you see it...instead of letting it run in the dark, you can now face it and push back against it. Not letting it take over your life and mind. YOU can now fight back. But fear...is a scary thing...and with demons pulling the strings...it is almost impossible to fight it on your own...But there is someone you can call on who CAN help you overcome your fear. And that is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ overcame death; he overcame fear. no power formed against us shall prosper. which means when we are in the mist of our anxiety, we can call out to God to save us when the fear starts to take over. When your fear tells you not to take a step and you dare take a step and the fear roars at you. DO NOT BE AFRAID for you have a giant of a God with you. He will go before you and calm the storm if you trust in Him and walk in faith. With Jesus walking beside you, you can overcome your fear. You can take your life back. You can find freedom in Jesus from this nightmare you live in.
This is the mission of Phobonix....
We choose phobias because phobias are a very common anxiety disorder that most if not all people have. Because this is a mental health issue. This is a great way to OPEN that conversation about mental health. It's a great way to show we are all struggling with something. And the more we understand what each of us are going through, the more we can help each other and come together. Too many people suffer with mental health alone. Whether that’s from a phobia or schizophrenia. It's time we had a hard conversation about mental health so more people can find support, help and understanding. We feel like using phobias is a great way to get that conversation started (And also, we live in a world where everyone loves to represent something about themselves now you can represent your phobia, making it educational, inspirational and fun!)
