Just like all other WordPress themes, Phlox lets you add Recent Posts page to your website, easily by adding a widget. The advantage is that you can give a style to the recent posts by editing the widget options in Widget Areas or in Page Builder.

One of Page Builder elements to create a recent posts page/post is Land Style Recent Posts Widget. You can specify the category or categories, the number of the posts you want to show, and order of the posts. You have the options to choose a title, exclude and include the posts, etc.
