The Struggle Of Loving My Wife While Grieving My Father | Mogomotsi Z_Lus Ntsimane

Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources [S3] EPISODE 18: A WEDDING & A FUNERALMarriage often begins with dreams, excitement, and hope, but what happens when joy and grief collide at the exact same moment? From navigating the loneliness of singleness and unrealistic expectations of love, to stepping into marriage while mourning the devastating loss of a father, this episode explores the hidden tensions many husbands silently carry but rarely speak about.Together, we unpack the weight of trying to “show up” as a husband while internally falling apart, the pressure men place on themselves to become ideal husbands, and the painful beauty of learning to surrender. Through stories of grief, therapy, fatherhood, legacy, emotional vulnerability, and being loved through brokenness, this conversation reveals that marriage is not simply about having someone beside you, but about allowing yourself to truly be seen. It’s a powerful reflection on masculinity, emotional honesty, and how God’s grace often meets us in our weakest, most undone moments.This episode is for every husband trying to figure it out as he goes, every man grieving silently while still trying to lead, and every couple learning how to hold each other through both celebration and sorrow. It’s raw, reflective, funny, deeply human, and filled with moments that will challenge the way you think about marriage, partnership, grief, and healing. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling unseen, emotionally overwhelmed, or afraid of letting your spouse into your pain, this conversation will remind you that sometimes strength looks less like holding it together, and more like allowing yourself to be carried.Get in touch with us - thathusband@companyxfilms.com FOLLOW THAT HUSBAND PODCAST ON...

Financial Struggles, Passive Drinking & Emotional Stagnation: 7 Years Trying To Be God | Racy Hlahla

[S3] EPISODE 17: THE LIE OF THINKING THINGS ARE NOT THAT BAD
What happens when the pressure to provide, to lead, and to “have it all together” quietly exposes the cracks beneath the surface? In this episode, you step into a deeply honest conversation about the hidden battles men carry, the fear of failure, the weight of expectation, and the quiet ways past wounds shape how we show up in marriage. From unresolved disappointment to the instinct to fix instead of feel, this story invites you to confront the subtle habits and mindsets that can slowly distance you from your wife, your purpose, and even yourself. 
But transformation doesn’t come through pretending or performing, it comes through surrender. As the conversation unfolds, you’ll hear what it looks like for a man to unlearn control, embrace vulnerability, and allow both God and community to reshape his identity. From redefining leadership in marriage to understanding the power of emotional awareness, this episode challenges the idea that strength is found in having answers, and instead reframes it as the courage to be honest, to grow, and to be led.
Somewhere in that journey, habits begin to shift, environments change, and even relationships are refined. You start to see that becoming a better husband isn’t about perfection, it’s about intentional transformation, one decision at a time. This episode invites you to reflect on the man you’re becoming, the influences you’re allowing, and the patterns you’re holding onto, because the life you build in private will eventually shape the marriage you live in public.

An Anti-Christ Girlfriend, Lying To My Church & A Twin Pregnancy Exposed It All | Nkosinathi Kotyi

Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources [S3] EPISODE 16: FROM A MESSY START TO A STRONG MARRIAGEBecoming who you're meant to be before life demands it of you, before the responsibility, before the title, before the moment arrives? Or do you only discover who you are when everything is already on the line? In this episode, you step into a story that doesn’t begin at marriage, but in the unseen spaces where habits are formed, convictions are tested, and decisions quietly shape the man you are becoming. You’ll recognise the tension, the gap between who you say you are and how you’re actually living, and the subtle ways you convince yourself there’s still time to figure it out later.But life has a way of interrupting that illusion. Responsibility arrives, ready or not, and suddenly everything becomes real. You’re forced to confront what’s been forming beneath the surface all along, your character, your faith, your integrity, your willingness to lead when it costs you something. This is where the story shifts, not into perfection, but into honesty, where you begin to understand that manhood isn’t something you arrive at, it’s something shaped through pressure, through failure, through choosing to take responsibility when walking away would be easier.And somewhere in that process, you begin to see that even in the chaos, even in the consequences, there is grace meeting you there. Not after you’ve fixed everything, but right in the middle of it. The valley becomes the place where you are refined, where your priorities are reordered, and where you learn what it actually means to be a man who stays. This episode invites you to reflect on your own life, the habits you’re forming, the truths you’re avoiding, and the responsibilities you’re postponing, because when the moment finally comes, it won’t ask you to become someone new, it will reveal who you’ve been becoming all along.Get in touch with us - thathusband@companyxfilms.com FOLLOW THAT HUSBAND PODCAST ON...

Before I Met Her, I Was Already Preparing For Her: Building For My Future Wife | Sizwe Mngomezulu

Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources [S3] EPISODE 15: THE KIND OF FOCUS THAT MAKES YOU A MAN Can a man become who he’s meant to be before life demands it of him? Before the responsibility, before the title, before the moment arrives? In this episode, we sit with a story that begins long before marriage, long before love, and long before the world sees the outcome.
From saving for a wife he hadn’t met yet, to being shaped by a present and intentional father, this conversation with Caesar unfolds as a reflection on what it means to prepare for a life you cannot yet see. It’s about discipline before desire, formation before opportunity, and the quiet decisions that eventually shape a man’s legacy. What emerges is not just a love story, but a story of foundation. The kind that is built in ordinary moments. In conversations with parents. In choosing responsibility early. In learning that manhood is not something you arrive at, but something you grow into over time. And when love finally enters the picture, it doesn’t start from nothing, it meets a life that has already been preparing for it. This episode moves through the beauty of meeting his wife, the intentionality behind their connection, and the honesty that defined their beginning. There is no performance here. Just two people choosing to show up fully, choosing truth over impression, and building something rooted in faith, culture, and clarity about who they are.But beneath it all is a deeper conversation about pressure, legacy, and identity. What it means to carry the example of a father. What it means to become that example. And how marriage introduces a new kind of responsibility that reshapes everything, from how you think, to how you lead, to how you love. This is a reminder that the life you desire is often built long before it arrives. That preparation is not wasted, even when it feels unseen. And that when the moment finally comes, love does not ask you to become someone new, it reveals who you have been becoming all along.This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own foundations. The habits you’re building. The voice you’re listening to. The life you’re quietly preparing for. And whether you are becoming the person that future requires.

Expecting Twins, Leaving Our Church & Losing Balance: The True Realities Of Marriage | Lilly Million

Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources [S3] EPISODE 14: WHAT HAPPENED TO DATE NIGHTS?Can a marriage hold when everything changes at once? When life accelerates, pressure builds, and the rhythms that once sustained you begin to slip? In this episode, we step into a deeply personal season as Blaque Nubon and his wife Lilly Million open up about the reality of their marriage right now where they quietly realise how easy it is to drift when life gets full.What unfolds is not crisis, but clarity. The kind that comes when you realise that love, connection, and intentionality don’t sustain themselves. That date nights don’t just disappear but they are replaced by urgency and responsibility. This is a reminder that even those who speak about marriage publicly are not exempt from the quiet tensions that build behind the scenes.This conversation is about the sobering reality that marriage is not maintained by intention alone, but by continual return. The return to each other. The return to conversation. The return to choosing “us” in the midst of everything else demanding attention. It’s about recognising when you’ve lost rhythm, and having the humility to say it out loud before distance sets in.This episode is also an invitation. To be honest about the season you’re in. To acknowledge the pressure without pretending it isn’t there. And to remember that even in the chaos there is still an opportunity to fight for each other, to recalibrate, and to rediscover what it means to stay close when life is pulling you in every direction.

The Danger Of Assuming You Are Marriage Material | Kgosi Rankhumise

Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources [S3] EPISODE 13: YOU'RE NOT LIVING IN A MOVIE
Can you step into the tension between who you are, who you have been, and who you are becoming, and all this, in the presence of one woman who sees it all? 
Today, we explore the disorienting, yet sacred, moment when marriage asks us to consolidate every version of ourselves and offer it honestly. What begins to emerge is not performance, but process: the slow, sometimes clumsy journey of learning how to love, how to speak, and how to be seen without hiding.
At its core, this conversation wrestles with a truth many of us carry but rarely articulate: it’s not always that we don’t want to love well, it’s that we don’t know how. Together, we unpack the gap between what we feel and what we express, and the work it takes to build that bridge. We challenge the cultural assumptions placed on us, while also calling each other to humility, to growth, and to the kind of intentionality that turns small acts into lifelong devotion.
More than anything, this is a deeply personal look at what it means for us to be shaped by love. Not the idealised version, but the kind that confronts us, refines us, and calls us out of ourselves. It’s about choosing our wives, again and again, and allowing that choice to transform us. For us as husbands, this is both a mirror and an invitation: to fail forward, to learn openly, and to become the kind of men our love requires, even if we’ve never seen what that looks like before.

Most Men Get Married Without the Support of Other Men | Mandla Makhubela

Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources [S3] EPISODE 12: DOES MARRIAGE REALLY CHANGE US?In this episode, the conversation moves into the sacred, often unspoken spaces that shape a man. What begins as a chance connection unfolds into a deeply human story of love, loss, and becoming. Through the weight of grief, losing a mother in the uncertainty of a pandemic, and the quiet strength of a woman who chose to step into that pain without hesitation, we are reminded that marriage is not built in perfect moments, but forged in the fires we don’t get to prepare for. This is a story about recognising love not just in words, but in costly presence.At its core, this episode wrestles with the transition from boyhood to manhood in a world that has largely abandoned the structures that once guided it. There is a raw honesty in the reflections on leadership, how it shifts when a man becomes accountable not just for himself, but for a wife, a family, and a legacy. This conversation echoes a deeper longing, for mentorship, for brotherhood, for examples that show us what it means to carry responsibility well. It’s a sobering reminder that many men are figuring it out as they go, but also a hopeful vision of what can happen when we refuse to walk alone.More than anything, this episode is a call to intentional living. It invites husbands to pause, to reflect, and to ask the hard questions about who they are becoming, at home, at work, and in the quiet spaces in between. It challenges the listener to see marriage not as an endpoint, but as an anchor that stabilizes, shapes, and sharpens a man over time. This is not a story of arrival, but of ongoing formation, of men who are not yet who they want to be, but who are committed to growing, failing forward, and doing better with every step.Get in touch with us - thathusband@companyxfilms.com FOLLOW THAT HUSBAND PODCAST ON...

Co-Parenting After Finding Love Again, And Overcoming My Secret Depression | DJ Xtremme

Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources [S3] EPISODE 11: BROKEN BUT NOT FINISHEDIn this episode, we sit down with DJ Xtreme, a husband, father, and radio personality, for a conversation about failure, redemption, and the difficult road back to the life you once imagined. What begins as a story about relationships quickly becomes something deeper: an honest reflection on what it means to carry disappointment, confront your own choices, and still choose to build againDJ Xtreme opens up about a season that reshaped his entire understanding of family. Raised in a two-parent household with a clear vision of doing things “the right way,” he shares how becoming a father outside of that structure left him wrestling with a deep sense of failure. When the relationship with his child’s mother ended, he found himself living a life he had never planned for — separated from his son and navigating the weight of unmet expectations. He speaks candidly about the years that followed, marked by depression, confusion, and the internal struggle of trying to reconcile who he thought he would be with where he actually was.The conversation also explores the complexity of fatherhood in that season. DJ Xtreme reflects on the decision to shield his son from the truth about their living situation, and the moment he realised honesty was necessary — not just for his child, but for himself. As he began a new relationship, he shares what it looked like to have difficult conversations, to take responsibility, and to start showing up more fully as a father despite the circumstances. A significant part of this episode centers on his approach to love and marriage the second time around. In a culture where single mothers are often overlooked, DJ Xtreme speaks about intentionally choosing a partner who already had children — someone who would understand the reality of his responsibilities and embrace the fullness of his life. He unpacks the journey of building a blended family, the decision to live together before marriage, and the lessons that came with merging two lives, two histories, and three children into one home.At its core, this episode is about commitment — not as a feeling, but as a decision you return to daily. DJ Xtreme reflects on the tension within marriage, the moments where walking away feels easier, and why he believes in staying, working through conflict, and honoring the promises you make. It’s a grounded, honest look at modern relationships, and a reminder that even when life doesn’t follow the plan, there is still a way to build something meaningful, intentional, and lasting.Get in touch with us - thathusband@companyxfilms.com FOLLOW THAT HUSBAND PODCAST ON...

Setting Boundaries: How I Support My Family But Not At The Expanse Of My Wife | Rhangani Mbhalati

Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources Get Funeral Cover and Life Cover for your family's needs https://www.capitecbank.co.za/personal/insure/[S3] EPISODE 10: WHAT'S YOUR LEGACY?In this episode, we sit down with Rhangani Mbhalati, a husband, father, and chartered accountant, for a conversation that traces a journey from deep adversity to intentional legacy. What begins as a story of survival in a rural village quickly unfolds into something far more profound: a picture of discipline, responsibility, and the quiet determination required to change the trajectory of not just your own life, but your family’s future.alongside his siblings by an older sister who was still a child herself. With no clear roadmap and very limited resources, he reflects on the years where survival meant stepping away from school to work, simply to afford a uniform and continue his education. It’s a sobering look at what responsibility can demand at a young age — and the mindset that begins to form when giving up is not an option. The conversation moves into his pursuit of higher education, a journey marked by courage and uncertainty. Having never left his hometown, Rhangani speaks about arriving at university with an acceptance letter but no understanding of tuition, funding, or what it would actually take to stay enrolled. What follows is a story of persistence — studying while working, supporting his family back home, and slowly building a path into the world of finance that would eventually see him qualify as a chartered accountant and found his company, CHAPU.But this episode goes beyond professional success. Rhangani reflects on the decisions that shaped his understanding of wealth — including buying his first home at 25, not in an affluent area, but in the hood, with the intention of creating opportunity and stability for his family. He unpacks the tension of being the “successful one” in the family, the importance of setting boundaries, and why he believes in teaching others how to build for themselves rather than simply providing temporary relief. We also explore his role as a husband and father, and the values he is intentionally passing on to his children about money, responsibility, and purpose. There’s an honesty in how he speaks about fatherhood — not as a title, but as a daily commitment to be present, to guide, and to build something that will outlive him.At its core, this episode is about legacy. Not just in terms of wealth, but in impact — what you leave behind in people, in family, and in the decisions that ripple far beyond your own lifetime. Rhangani’s story is a reminder that while circumstances may shape your starting point, they do not have to define your ending.

A Baby Before Marriage, Leading In Church & Money Struggles: Why I'd Still Marry Young | Gift Maseko

Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources
[S3] EPISODE 9: A WARNING FOR YOUR EGO
In this episode, we sit down with Gift Maseko, a husband, father of two, and pastor of Jesus Every Church, for a conversation about integrity, accountability, and the quiet work of becoming the kind of man your family can trust. What begins as a story about ministry quickly becomes something deeper: an honest reflection on how easily a man can start living for the approval of people rather than the approval of God.
Gift speaks candidly about a season where the desire to please the church slowly began to outrank his responsibility to his wife and family. Through conviction, counsel, and personal reflection, he shares how God confronted that misalignment and the intentional changes he had to make to put his marriage and home back at the center of his leadership. This episode explores what it looks like to build clear boundaries, protect your household, and lead not from performance, but from obedience.
The conversation also touches on the parts of a man’s story that are rarely spoken about. Gift reflects on a formative experience in his teenage years that shaped his early understanding of intimacy, and how that moment led him to make a firm commitment about sex and marriage. He shares the unexpected path that followed when he and the woman who would become his wife crossed that boundary once, resulting in a pregnancy that would ultimately lead them into marriage. With humility, he unpacks the church discipline that followed, the accountability his pastor required of him, and the internal struggle of wanting people to know he married out of love, not obligation.
At its heart, this episode is about surrendering image for truth. Gift opens up about choosing a quieter, more grounded life — resisting the spotlight that often comes with ministry leadership and intentionally structuring his life in ways that guard his character, his marriage, and his faith. It’s a reminder that real leadership begins at home, and that faithfulness is often built in the small, unseen decisions a man makes every day.
