Before the gospel reached the world, it had to survive one city.
Antioch wasn’t just another stop on the map. It was one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire—a crossroads of cultures, religions, and competing worldviews. And when the gospel arrived, the early church faced questions it had never had to answer before.
Could Jews and Gentiles truly become one church? Could a former persecutor named Saul be trusted? And what would happen when Peter and Paul found themselves on opposite sides of a conflict?
Join Dr. Matthew Larsen on location in ancient Antioch to trace the story across the streets, ports, ruins, and sacred sites where it unfolded—and discover why what happened here would shape Christianity for the next two thousand years.

Dr. Matthew Larsen
Dr. Larsen is a biblical scholar, archeologist, and storyteller who makes Scripture feel raw, real, and rooted in the world it came from. He’s taught at Yale and Princeton—and most recently at the University of Copenhagen—but his most powerful teaching happens outside the classroom—whether wandering the wilderness in The Desert or tracing the Apostle Paul’s footsteps across the Mediterranean in QAVA’s top series Nobody Liked Paul.

This is what I’ve been looking for. An answered prayer!
I’ve been heavily involved in church my entire life. As an adult, I found myself yearning for something that I wasn’t getting. I didn’t want the cliches, the theatrics, I wanted to go deeper in my studies. I wanted to have someone break down these concepts I’ve heard my entire life so I can actually understand what I say I believe in. In comes QAVA. I love the practical approach to the various topics. The bite size pieces that fit into a busy life and help you to build on the lessons each day . . . Thank you for this, it’s a game changer.

More than just Sunday
Sometimes faith can just seem complicated. With all the voices out there it’s nice to start each day with simple truths that are directly from the Bible.
