The Esme Graff Podcast

Welcome to the show, my friend!

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about what it really means to be a woman of faith—not by the world’s standards, but by God’s.

We’re diving into Chapter 10 of my book Friendships and asking some powerful questions:
• What makes someone a woman of faith?
• Can you still be a woman of faith if you watch KUWTK or the Bachelor?

I’m also breaking down the three core characteristics of a woman of faith and why faithfulness isn’t just about religion but about relationships. This is for anyone craving a deeper connection with God, longing for more meaningful friendships, or trying to figure out how to keep going when things get hard.

This episode is filled with truth, encouragement, and practical wisdom to help you live your best life!

This one’s for the servant-hearted leader in you. 💥

In this episode, Esme dives into Chapter 9 of her book Friendships and focuses on one of the most powerful (yet misunderstood) qualities of growth and Christlikeness: serving others.

Whether leading a team, raising a family, or simply trying to live with intention—you can't miss this episode!

What you'll learn:

• The powerful truth from Hebrews 6:10 that changed how I view serving
• The mindset shift between serving from love vs. obligation
• A raw story about a time I served resentfully—and what it revealed about my heart
• The surprising way my friend showed up when I needed her most

Plus, hear what I learned at the International Maxwell Conference (spoiler: it involves Avengers-level women and major perspective shifts!).

This episode is real, vulnerable, and packed with encouragement for anyone who wants to become a person others can count on. Because the people we surround ourselves with? They shape who we become.

What kind of history are you leaving behind? This week on The Esme Graff Podcast, I'm diving into the power of our personal history—not just the stories we tell but the impact we have on the people around us.

I share a personal story of a life-changing moment, the kindness of a nurse, and the biblical example of Tabitha—a woman whose legacy of love and service left an unforgettable mark on her community.

In my book Friendships , I explore how the way we serve others—whether through small acts of kindness or deep, sacrificial love—shapes the legacy we leave behind. Tabitha’s story in Acts Chapter 9 reminds us that our impact isn’t measured by status or success but by the lives we touch.

In this episode, we’ll explore:
How small actions shape lasting legacies
The importance of making people feel seen and valued
How past hurts don’t have to define future relationships

So, how will you be remembered? You were created for a purpose, and if you live it out, you will leave a memorable history behind.

🎧 Tune in now and be inspired to live your life with intentionality!

What if the breakthrough you're waiting for isn't about praying harder—but about acting in faith?

In this powerful episode, I'm diving deep into Chapter 10 of my book Friendships, and unpacking three truths about what it really means to be faithful. If you're someone who's trying to live with intention, especially through the ups and downs of life, this one's for you.

We’ll talk about:

• How to Recognize True Faith (Even When You Can’t Feel It)
• Real Faith Always Takes Action
• What It Really Means to Sacrifice in Faith

I’m sharing personal stories, biblical insights, and a challenge that might just shift the way you see your circumstances. Whether you’re walking through a season of waiting, facing a big decision, or just trying to stay obedient in the little things—this episode will encourage you to live bolder and trust deeper.

Plus, I’ll share how faith played a role when I lost my job of nine years, and why obedience often costs more than we expect—but always leads to more than we can imagine.

If you’ve ever wondered how to become more like Jesus and less like the version of yourself that doubts, hesitates, or plays it safe—this episode will speak directly to your heart.

In this second episode of a new series, we delve deep into Chapter Two of my book, Friendships: Cultivating Twelve Qualities to Become More Like Jesus. Today, we're exploring the profound concept of sacrificial love and its role in building meaningful, Christ-centered friendships.

Sacrificial love goes beyond the superficial—it’s about putting the needs of others above our own, just as Jesus did. But can we find such friendships in places where we spend most of our time, like our workplace? Should we even have friends at work?

Drawing inspiration from the biblical story of Esther, we’ll examine how her sacrificial love and courage influenced an entire nation. Esther’s willingness to risk everything for her people is a powerful reminder of what it means to love sacrificially. How can we apply these lessons to our own lives? Can we inspire our friends to pray, seek God, and live out our purpose? This episode challenges you to consider your impact on those around you.

Despite many challenges, research shows that having friends at work can significantly increase happiness and productivity. However, navigating these relationships requires wisdom and discernment to avoid toxic dynamics.

This episode is perfect for anyone seeking to deepen their friendships, grow spiritually, and understand the transformative power of sacrificial love. Whether navigating friendships at work, at home, or within your community, this conversation will equip you with the tools to build stronger, more fulfilling relationships that reflect the love of Christ.

So, grab your copy of Friendships here and join me each week as we explore the qualities that can transform your life!
