The Conversation Doesn't End Here

If The Significance Gap has you rethinking a few things about yourself, other people, or the way we do church, I’d love to keep the conversation going.

I’m Laurie Graham Ertl, founder of Small Church Ministry. I spend my days helping everyday people in smaller churches think differently, develop practical skills, build healthier relationships, and recognize the influence they already have.

And while I love challenging the way we think, I’m equally passionate about what we DO with what we’re learning.

That’s why I created Everyday Influence. It’s a membership for people who care deeply about their churches and want to keep growing. 

We explore everything from emotional health and relational wisdom to practical ministry skills, leadership, and healthier ways of doing church. With real conversations, ongoing training, and a community of people who are asking some of the same questions you are.

Because recognizing your significance is one thing.

Learning to use your influence in healthy, meaningful ways? That’s where things really start to change.
