[S1] EPISODE 38: FAITH, STRENGTH & HOPE...

In this episode of That Husband Podcast, Blaque Nubon sits down with SAFTA-winning director Ricardo 'Ricwa' Klaasen for a raw and reflective conversation about faith, family, and the transformative power of commitment. Ricwa takes us on a journey through his 13 years of marriage, sharing how he and his wife began their life together in a Wendy house, raising two children and later on having to navigate the unique challenges of parenting a son with autism. Through financial setbacks and career sacrifices, his wife’s steadfast support and their shared faith in Jesus Christ became the pillars that held their family together.

Ricwa opens up about the struggles many men face but often keep hidden—fighting to provide, wrestling with self-doubt, and learning to surrender the weight of leadership to God. He reflects on the enduring legacy of his parents’ 40-year marriage and the lessons it taught him about perseverance and love. He also speaks to the beauty of intentionality in relationships, recounting the influence of friends who model what it means to love with purpose. With candor and gratitude, Ricwa unpacks how celebrating the small wins, keeping Christ at the center, and embracing faith over fear have shaped his identity as a husband and father.

This episode is an emotional and inspiring exploration of what it means to lead a family with grace and courage. Ricwa’s story is a powerful reminder that even in life’s messiest and most uncertain seasons, God’s faithfulness never falters. For husbands seeking to grow, reconnect, or simply feel seen, this conversation offers a space to reflect, be challenged, and find hope.
