You ever been at the edge?
Not physically — but spiritually.
Where the world gets quiet, your soul gets loud, and you realize… you can’t fake it anymore?
This is The Crossroads.
Where masks fall.
Where ego dies.
Where you stop performing religion and start confronting God.
This isn’t your Sunday morning sermon.
This isn’t the feel-good, follow-the-rules, picture-perfect version of faith the church likes to sell.
This is the raw, painful, beautiful, broken conversation most people are too scared to have with God…
Because they think they have to be clean first.
You don’t.
You come to God dirty.
Tired.
Wounded.
Angry.
Confused.
And honest.
And that’s what this episode is.
It’s not about preaching.
It’s about pleading.
It’s not about judgment.
It’s about justice.
It’s not about religion.
It’s about relationship.
We talk trauma.
We talk guilt.
We talk about people who use God as a weapon — and the pain that creates.
We talk about walking away.
And what it means to maybe… just maybe… come back.
So if you’re standing at your Crossroads —
Wondering if God’s still listening…
Wondering if you’re still worth saving…
Wondering if faith still matters in a world this dark…
This one’s for you.
This is The Crossroads.
This is a REAL Talk with God.
And no matter what anyone told you — He still wants to hear you.
We are not a cult.
We are not an army.
We are a family—an empire of equals—who have had enough of the fake, toxic positivity and tribalistic bullshit in today’s society.
Do we have your attention now?
Good. You can thank us later.
Long live the Scapegoat.
Long live the Empire.
Phoenix Empire forever.
Phoenix God forever.
Phoenix Knight forever and always.
Final Boss engaged.
You can’t kill a Phoenix.
You’re never gonna be everyone’s cup of tea—
Be gasoline. Set shit on fire.
Signed,
The Final Boss
The Phoenix God
Phoenix Knight
President of Phoenix Empire Incorporated
King of the Phoenix Empire
The Status Quo Slayer
The Scapegoat
The Villain of Truth
The Honest Antihero
