In this heartfelt episode, Dieula shares the journey behind her powerful book Does God See Me?, written during a deeply painful season following the tragic loss of her nephew and brother. Drawing from her own spiritual wrestling, she introduces the concept of “sitting in Saturday”; the sacred space between Good Friday and Easter Sunday where questions linger, hope feels distant, and faith is tested. It’s in this space that Does God See Me? was born, offering raw honesty and spiritual insight for anyone navigating grief and uncertainty.
What You’ll Hear In This Episode:
Dieula’s personal story of loss and how it shaped the writing of Does God See Me?
A deep dive into the idea of “sitting in Saturday” and its relevance for believers facing seasons of pain and doubt.
The exciting announcement of a new French translation of the book, inspired by Dieula’s Haitian roots and intended for women in Haiti, West Africa, France, and beyond.
Reflections on the unexpected reach of the book; from men to white women; who found comfort and connection in its pages.
Testimonials from readers who felt deeply seen and understood.
A call to join the GiveButter campaign launching in May to support the translation project and bring healing resources to French-speaking women in crisis zones.
Why This Matters:
This translation project is more than just language; it’s about meeting women where they are, in their mother tongue, during times of war, violence, displacement, and despair. It’s a reminder that yes, even in the darkest “Saturdays” of life, God sees you.
