I Was A Muslim Stripper In Miami. Then Jesus Rescued Me I Tanaz Shams

In this episode of The Matt Richardson Podcast, I sit down with Tanaz Shams for an extraordinary, chilling, and faith-building testimony of escaping severe darkness and experiencing the radical deliverance of Jesus Christ.

Born and raised under the oppressive, violent realities of Sharia law in Afghanistan, Tanaz grew up enduring childhood harassment, trauma, and spiritual bondage before fleeing to Tajikistan and eventually immigrating to the United States. While in America, she was drawn into the stripping industry, dancing in Las Vegas and Miami, where she made upwards of $45,000 a month. She was lavished with luxury cars, mansions, and a $20,000 diamond engagement ring from a multi-millionaire fiancé.

At the same time, she explored the dark occult—practicing witchcraft, consulting psychics, calling upon ancient deities, and pursuing counterfeit spiritual power.

Tanaz shares the intense spiritual warfare and deliverance that followed: months of intense fasting, casting out demonic entities, breaking blood covenants, forgiving her abusive father through divine revelation, and receiving the supernatural gift of the Word of Knowledge. Today, she preaches the Gospel boldly on the streets of Miami, runs a homeless outreach ministry, and leads a Christian clothing brand reminding everyone that they are royal children of God.

What you’ll hear:

Escaping Afghanistan: Growing up under the fear, abuse, and force of Sharia law.

The Stripping & Sugar Daddy Trap: Making $45K/month, luxury mansions, and the empty illusion of worldly wealth.
