Three women, connected by a small blue house in Cincinnati called the Rectory, were looking for connection during Covid-19 (aren't we all??).
So we started inviting our friends over (virtually, of course) to share their unique love stories, their passion projects, and their faith.
So, why don't you grab a warm drink and join us?

What is History Even Supposed to Do?! Chatting About China and the British Empire
Do you ever read about something that makes you so mad because you weren't taught it in school?
Or maybe you were, but it was taught in this "well, that happened on this date" with no discussion or further inquiry?
Well, your hosts At the Rectory had some questions about history, and thankfully we have our neighborhood Historian Katie at the ready!
We believe that asking questions and being curious play a huge part of healing and changing the world.
Stay tuned at the end when our sound-engineer, David Lai, hops on and gives us his perspective!

Ever just avoid that weird book at the end of the Bible?
Or have you ever listened to someone preach about how all the signs and symbols point to current events and map out how the End Times will Come?
Ever watch Left Behind?
Even if the answer to all of the above is, Nope! - you should stick around for this chat with the lovely celebrated author Dean Flemming! His new book "Foretaste of the Future: Reimagining Revelation" is all about changing how Evangelicals have often read and interpreted Revelation.
