I Got Married Without My Family’s Blessing: The Hard Truth I Learned at 21 | Kutlwano Ditsele
Marriage is never just about two people, it’s also about the families and histories that stand behind them. But what happens when those families refuse to stand with you? In this episode we dive into the raw and often painful reality of marrying without your family’s blessing. From the quiet heartbreak of parents who withhold support, to the courage it takes to lead your own household when the crowd is against you, this conversation is both transparent and necessary. As husbands, we know the weight of stepping into marriage: the decision to expose our defects, the challenge of accountability, and the risk of walking a road that isn’t always cheered on. Kutlwano Ditsele opens up about how he faced the lonely, frightening possibility of starting a marriage without his father’s approval, and the deep conviction that carried him forward anyway. It’s a story of faith, resilience, and the costly beauty of choosing your wife, even when it means losing other affirmations. This isn’t just theory, it’s the lived reality for many men. And in telling this story, we’re reminded that marriage is a sacred covenant, not a popularity contest. Family blessing is valuable, but it is not the foundation, God’s call and your commitment are. So if you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between honouring your parents and leading your new family, this episode will help you reflect, find courage, and know you’re not alone. #thathusbandpodcast #christianmarriage #marriagematters #husbandlife #MarriageWithoutBlessing #FamilyApproval #godlymarriage #marriagejourney #faithandmarriage #husbandtalks #marriagestruggles #marriagepodcast #LoveAndFaith #marriagewisdom #BuildingMarriage #marriagegodsway #MarriageDecisions #marriagecounsellor #marriageandfamily #marriagesupport #marriagestories #MarriageCommunity #MarriageAccountability #MarriageWithPurpose #marriageinchrist

When Serving The Church Almost Destroyed My Marriage | Allan.P
Visit www.thathusband.com for merch, event tickets and other resources [S2] EPISODE 31: GOD'S WORK vs GOD'S DAUGHTER Marriage isn’t just about love stories and Instagram moments, it’s about the daily choice to show up, sacrifice, and sometimes die to self for the sake of the one you vowed to cherish. In this episode, we sit down with Allan.P to talk about what husbandhood really looks like when the butterflies fade, the fights get real, and life throws both joy and hardship our way. His story reminds us that being a husband isn’t about perfection, it’s about persistence, humility, and faithfulness when it’s easier to walk away. From the early years of marriage to raising kids and navigating the pressures of work, dreams, and ministry, Allan.P opens up about the hidden battles husbands face, the pride, the fatigue, the temptation to drift, and the weight of responsibility. Yet woven through his story is a testimony of grace: a wife who fuels his ambition, a faith that reshapes his perspective, and a vision of marriage that sees “death to self” not as loss but as the soil where love and legacy grow. This conversation isn’t just for men who think they’ve figured it out, it’s for husbands still stumbling forward, husbands carrying unseen frustrations, and husbands who need to be reminded that they’re not alone. If you’ve ever wrestled with ego, with balance, with choosing your wife over your comfort, then this episode will speak to you. Because at the end of the day, being a husband is less about having it all together, and more about being willing to learn, to sacrifice, and to keep choosing love, day after day. #thathusbandpodcast #HusbandTalks #marriagematters #husbandlife #FaithfulHusbands #marriagegodsway #marriagejourney #HusbandAndWife #christianhusbands #realmarriage #marriagegrowth #marriagepodcast #HusbandsUnite #Husbandhood #marriagestruggles #marriagewisdom #HusbandsSupportHusbands #loveandmarriagehuntsville #HusbandEncouragement #MarriageSacrifice #healthymarriage #marriageinchrist #MarriageLegacy #dietoself #MarriageFaith

How I Went From Leading Bible Study to Getting A Girl Pregnant | Ofentse Moerane
Visit www.thathusband.com for merch, event tickets and other resources [S2] EPISODE 30: MAKING THINGS RIGHT "Nine years ago, a single phone call during Bible Study changed everything. My then-girlfriend’s trembling voice told me she was pregnant. In that moment, the future we had imagined shifted completely. What followed wasn’t just a test of faith, it was a test of love, responsibility, and resilience. Her family cut ties. My reputation in the church felt shattered. And yet, in the middle of the shock and shame, I knew one thing: I couldn’t run. I had to stay." This episode isn’t about a perfect love story. It’s about two people who stumbled hard and then chose to stand together anyway. We talk about navigating estrangement, the weight of cultural expectations, the sting of disappointing those who believed in us, and the slow, grace-filled process of rebuilding trust, with our families, our faith community, and ourselves. Along the way, we unpack how fatherhood began not in the maternity ward, but in a decision to take responsibility, even when it was costly. For husbands, future husbands, and any man who’s ever faced the gap between who he wanted to be and what actually happened, this conversation is for you. It’s about how God’s grace can take a mess and turn it into a marriage, a family, and a testimony. It’s about what we’ve learned over nine years of parenting, persevering, and leaning on each other when winter came. And it’s a reminder that even the most unexpected beginnings can lead to stories worth telling. #thathusbandpodcast #christianmarriage #HusbandsForHusbands #fatherhoodjourney #youngparents #marriageandfaith #RealMarriageStories #biblicalmanhood #christianhusbands #marriagepodcast #husbandlife #christianfatherhood #marriagetestimony #faithinmarriage #godlyhusband #marriagestruggles #christianpodcast #marriagerestoration #loveandresponsibility #GraceInMarriage #marriagegodsway #faithandfamily #HusbandAndWife #christianrelationships #FromMessToMarriage

What’s The Point Of Winning At Work While You're Destroying Your Home? | Ezekiel Nkotsoe
Visit www.thathusband.com for merch, event tickets and other resources [S2] EPISODE 29: ALTAR OF AMBITION In this episode, we sit down with Ezekiel Nkotsoe, seven months into marriage and already confronted with the question most men never dare to ask: "Am I idolizing success at the expense of my wife?" Ezekiel shares how his obsession with performance, numbers, and being “the best” collided head-on with the quiet but holy demands of marriage. What began as a journey to build wealth and legacy was slowly revealed as a quest for validation, rooted in childhood trauma and masked as ambition. As husbands, we often say we’re grinding “for the family,” but how many Christmases can you miss before you’ve actually started grinding away from them? Ezekiel opens up about the difficult conversations with his wife, his coach, and God, uncovering the subtle lies we believe about ambition, provision, and masculinity. He reminds us that spiritual, emotional, and physical presence matters more than the car you pull into the driveway. And sometimes, the most godly ambition is learning to be content, to be present, and to serve the family God has placed in front of you. This episode is not just for the high performers or sales guys in Jozi, it’s for every husband trying to reconcile his grind with his calling. Whether you’re newly married, seasoned, or still considering what kind of man you want to be, this conversation is a sacred space for honest reflection. Because at the end of the day, no amount of ambition can hold your hand when you're old, only the woman you chose to love well can do that. #thathusbandpodcast #ChristianHusbands #MarriageMatters #godlymarriage #husbandswholead #FaithAndAmbition #MarriageOverMoney #contentmentinchrist #menofgod #christianmanhood #MarriageIsWork #BlackLoveMatters #generationalwealth #AmbitionWithPurpose #FaithfulNotFamous #HusbandsSupportingHusbands #ModernMarriageTalks #HustleAndHoliness #EmotionalProvision #GodlyMasculinity #KingdomMen #christcenteredmarriage #marriagepodcast #RealTalkForHusbands #marriageandfaith

Divorce, Loss, Hitting Rock Bottom - My Struggle To Provide For My Family | Caskey Ndaba
Visit www.thathusband.com for merch, event tickets and other resources [S2] EPISODE 28: DON'T LEAVE A MESS BEHIND What happens when the baton is passed to us and we’re not ready to carry it? In this conversation with the incredibly grounded and eloquent Caskey Ndaba, we talk about what it means to become the uncles, the fathers, the leaders we once looked up to. From drafting a will to defining a family vision, we wrestle with the reality of death, not in fear, but in wisdom. Caskey reminds us that masculinity is less about the muscle and more about the mind, and that real manhood means planning, preparing, and protecting. Mr. Ndaba opens up about walking from Diepsloot to Centurion to restart his life after losing everything, including his home and career. He shares how his divorce and later, the tragic loss of his children’s mother, shaped his journey as a father and a husband. These are not just stories, they are scars with purpose. His vulnerability, wrapped in clarity and determination, reminds us that being a husband is not about perfection but about showing up, again and again, even when it hurts. We don’t just talk policies and funeral plans, we go deeper into the fears, insecurities, and silence that often keep men from leading well. Whether you're a newlywed, a father of three, or a man trying to fix the brokenness you inherited, this episode offers both a mirror and a map. Because in the end, being a husband isn’t just about loving your family, it’s about leaving them ready when you’re no longer here. Let’s talk legacy, leadership, and love—because silence is no longer an option. #thathusbandpodcast #failingforward #legacybuilding #husbandswholead #fatherhoodmatters #BlackMenLead #purposedrivenmen #masculinityredefined #ManhoodJourney #menoffaith #VisionForFamily #DeathPreparedness #WillAndTestament #lifeinsurancematters #financialfitness #ModernHusband #healingfromloss #breakinggenerationalcycles #BePresentDad #ManUpMovement #authenticmanhood #griefandgrace #RealMenPlan #LeadershipInMarriage #intentionalliving
