Kenyan pastor T Mwangi recently opened up about an unusual experience he had while attempting to cope with a difficult period in his life.
In a candid and reflective video, Pastor Mwangi shared that, in the midst of heartbreak, he tried to turn away from his faith and sought solace in what he called “worldly distractions.” One of these attempts led him to a strip club—a place that felt entirely foreign to him as a man of God.

In the undated video, Pastor Mwangi explained how, at the time, he was struggling emotionally and hoped that stepping away from his usual path would somehow help him heal.
He admitted he felt lost and was searching for relief, even if it meant exploring places he had never been before. However, what he encountered left him feeling empty and unfulfilled.
Instead of finding the escape he was looking for, he felt even more disconnected, realizing that this was not the answer to his pain.
With honesty and humility, Mwangi shared how this moment reinforced his belief in the strength of his faith. The experience served as a reminder that true comfort and healing couldn’t be found in fleeting escapes but rather within a deeper spiritual journey.
“One day I decided to backslide so I went to a strip club. When I got in the receptionist said ‘I think I know you.” I told her I had a familiar face. She asked me where I wanted to go and I said the VIP Lounge.”
“I paid for it and went in a striper said’ I know you wewe ni Pator T yule wa Angaza? wewe hunibless sana.’ I was going through a heartbreak at the time and I was suicidal, nothing was making sense. I just asked for a cold sprite.”
He then changed bars only to be identified in the next bar he went to I then decided to leave the strip club and go to a local bar and drink.
“I had gone for four days without sleeping so i wanted to drink and black out. Immediately the wait came, she asked aah Pastor T utakunywa nini? I went home and told God never to allow me to be heartbroken and then embarrass me.”
In the past Pastor T Mwangi had shared how he narrowly escaped being infected with HIV/AIDS after he slept with two infected women.
“I went to a club and the first thing that happened was a fight, a bottle of alcohol was thrown, ikanipita ikagonga ukuta and the whole club went quiet. How that bottle missed me is only God who can explain.”
During the same season, T met a lady whom he had sexual contact with but later succumbed to HIV/AIDS.
“And on that Christmas, I was high and drunk and slept with a lady. Later, we burried that lady with HIV.”
T later got into another relationship with a woman that had been infected by her sugar daddy.
“I began to date another lady and the same thing again. I was told that lady was dating a sugar daddy and he was sick and we buried that man.”
On Valentines day the next year, he had played a game with his boys “mwenye ataingiza dem flani box anamepleka Valentines,” he said
He was the one who won the game and this is where he knew he had not been infected by HIV/AIDS. He said he had been preserved by The Lord.
“We went to a VCT, I turned out negative by the Grace of God. How The Lord preserved me, I don’t know.”
The pastor’s story has since sparked widespread reactions, with many admiring his openness and ability to turn a low point in his life into a meaningful lesson.
