1: What Is Theology?

Welcome to the first episode of Late to Church! Host Dr. Kira Moolman Pettit joined by The Rev. Sutton Lowe kick off the podcast by asking a big question: What is theology? From late arrivals to awkward pew choices, they share personal stories and unpack how theology is not just academic but deeply relational—a way of talking with God, not just about God. This episode sets the tone for what's to come: honest, accessible conversations for anyone who’s curious about faith but doesn’t always feel like they belong. Whether you’re “late to church” literally or spiritually, there’s a seat for you here.

2: Creation

“In the beginning, God created…” But what does that really mean for your everyday life? In this episode of Late to Church, Dr. Kira Moolman Pettit and The Rev. Sutton Lowe dig into the theology of creation— not just as a moment in the distant past, but as a truth with profound meaning for how we live, love, age, and die. From Genesis to John, they trace how God's act of creating, inhabiting, and redeeming the material world reshapes how we think about our bodies, the earth, and our neighbors. They talk cookies, resurrection, funerals, and even heresies—all in service of one deeply hopeful idea: that God not only made the world, but called it good and still walks with us in it.

Dead to Sin, Alive to God | Dr. Kira Moolman Pettit

What does it mean to die and rise with Christ? In this sermon from Romans 6, we explore the radical reality of grace and the new identity given to us through baptism. Christ took our place, bore our sin, and opened the way to a new life. Though we still struggle, we are no longer defined by our failures but by the One who died and rose again for us. Remember your baptism, rejoice in your freedom, and live into the new life Christ has given you.

The Lord of the Harvest | The Rev. Louise Samuelson

Jesus looked upon the crowds with compassion and saw a harvest too great for one person alone. In this sermon, we explore Christ’s call to pray, to serve, and to join His mission in the world. As followers of Jesus, we are invited not only into the work of the Kingdom, but into the joy of sharing God’s love, healing, and hope with those around us.

Bondservants to Righteousness | The Rev. John Sundara

Is salvation only about the forgiveness of sins? In this sermon from Romans 6, we discover that God’s purpose for us is even greater. Through Christ, we are not only forgiven—we are set free from the power of sin and called to become more like Jesus. As we learn to present our lives to God each day, we find true freedom, lasting joy, and the hope of a life transformed by His grace.

Zechariah | Week 02 December 11, 2024

Dr. Kira Moolman Pettit and The Rev. Sutton Lowe talk about what happens when you meet an unexpected visitor in the break room at work. Only, in this case it's not the break room. It's the most holy place in God's temple. And the visitor isn't some rando but an Angel with an announcement about your deepest longing. The person in question is Zechariah and his story is one full on waiting, longing, giving up, and ultimately seeing and sharing God's mercy.

Christ, Our Mother

As we rest in the love of Christ, our mother, and follow his example of selfless love, we as Christ’s mother will give birth to him in a world of people that need to know they have a God who holds them, cares for them, and loves them dearly.

Where Jesus Is, Life Is | Matthew Lewis

Jesus never promised that following Him would be easy. In this sermon, we explore Christ’s warning that faithfulness can bring resistance, opposition, and even sacrifice. Yet wherever Jesus is found, true life is found as well. As we learn to share His compassion, carry our cross, and remain faithful amid cultural pressures, we discover the hope and security of belonging to the Father through the Son.

One Spirit, One Church

Pentecost marks the birth of the Church and the coming of the Holy Spirit to God’s people. In this sermon, we reflect on how the Spirit unites believers across languages, cultures, and nations into one body in Christ. Through baptism and the power of the Spirit, we are welcomed into God’s family and sent into the world as a people of hope, worship, and reconciliation.
